Was da los? ### 2/5 — How and why *2023-11-03* How to email a video from here? There isn’t a clue. Why is the zoom slider not visible while shooting a video? It was in the past….discouraging ### 4/5 — Zoom works! *2022-02-08* Not sure about other features, but post-recording zoom feature is great to have! Thanks! ### 4/5 — Good app! But… *2021-10-18* I really enjoyed it. I wish the developers were add a stabilization feature. Other than that it’s a good app. **Developer response:** All bugs have been fixed in version 2.0. It doesn't crash anymore. ### 3/5 — Not very useful *2020-12-27* Only possible to open video file from iPad video folder, Not possible to open from personal file folder or other cloud drive ### 2/5 — Doesn’t save on iOS 13 *2019-11-03* It’s been a great app for years, but ever since IOS 13 I can’t save my work I have an iPhone 6s. Fix it so I can save and I will change my review to 5 stars. ### 3/5 — Not working for iOS 13 please help *2019-09-30, version 2.5* Not working for iOS 13 ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money *2019-09-23, version 2.5* A waste of $1.99, no audio and no way to save or share, terrible ### 4/5 — They lied. *2019-09-11, version 2.4* It’s not hd ### 1/5 — This app stole my video *2019-08-10* After I edited my video, this app ripped it from my phone. I no longer have a way to share or view this video other than in the app. This is total crap! Do not download this app. There is no way to save the edited video or share it. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Неполноценная программа *2025-08-04* Полная ерунда, вместо растяжения или сужения видео просто обрезает края и получается середина видео! ### 1/5 — Need an update *2024-06-13, version 2.6* App keeps crashing ### 1/5 — Not working anymore *2024-02-28* All this app does is crash, sadly doesn’t work anymore. ### 1/5 — No audio *2022-03-29* Is it really not possible to have audio? I want to zoom in based on things being said in the video, but audio doesn’t work in the app. You just have to edit the soundless video, which makes it much harder to do (impossible for me). Wasted money. ### 1/5 — Impossible to use *2021-11-17, version 2.6* So trash skip this ### 1/5 — Buggy *2021-09-14, version 2.6* The app used to work great. Now it won’t save my edits…boo ### 1/5 — Fraudulent App *2020-06-10* I paid money for this app in order to zoom a 15 second video on my iPhone. It seemed to be working until you go to render it - then it says “Video Error - unable to edit the video”, with no further explanation. When you click on the link for their support department, it says page not found. I don’t understand why Apple allows scammers like this in the App Store. ### 1/5 — Won’t save my edits *2020-01-26, version 2.5* It says it rendering my video but won’t save any of my edits ### 1/5 — Zoom feature is weak sauce!!! *2019-12-23* I assumed this auto zoomed videos. Pinch and zoom is not smooth and I can already do that with a video screen capture. Save yourself the $2 people. ### 1/5 — Needs a feature upgrade... *2019-09-26* Had this been a free app (or something I could’ve tried out before buying at least) I’d say move along without saying anything, but it’s neither of those things. I need it for a nice, clean zoom to add a nice touch to my animations. The best I could manage was a not-so-straight very jerky pan...utterly useless for what I need. If it had a “position start” and “position end” function with adjustable speed it would be perfect! But sadly now I’ve just wasted $2. Back to the drawing board😪 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — No off-line capability *2025-12-24* After you download the app, you have to have a constant connection in order to save videos after you edit. Lame ### 5/5 — Great *2025-02-16* Thank you for a brilliant app so simple so good ### 5/5 — I use this all the time… *2021-07-23* Shooting in 4K and then having the ability to manually zoom and pan in real-time… I don’t think anyone could make it any easier. You can be subtle with it, where nobody knows, or your can have dramatic movements that add to a videos “edited” look. And for the app creators, how about a “pro” version that also allows for real-time rotation. Everybody and their brother makes apps that can rotate videos in 90 degree chunks, but man would it be handy to be able to pan, zoom, AND rotate videos as little as a degree at a time by just pinching and twisting. ### 5/5 — Love love love it ! *2020-09-23* You can go back and add zoom to all your videos ... It's fantastic. I have redone tons of my old videos ! Excellent ### 5/5 — Amazing, zoom window follows edit *2020-06-09* Had to zoom into some deer and the camera moved around, moved the zoom window to follow deer and saved version shows my edit movements. Nice 🦌📷 ### 5/5 — The best *2020-05-04* Works all time. Worth it ### 5/5 — Perfect *2020-01-04* Amazing apps ### 5/5 — Amazing App! First thing in my pipeline. *2019-12-05* I’m surprised at how amazingly useful this app is. At first, I was put off by the UI. Then, I realized how much more simple it was than using key frames and all of that. I take 15 sec vids off my go pro for Instagram. Since go pro has a 2.7k res, I can zoom any clip 1.4x with no quality loss. This app is absolutely fantastic for this. ### 5/5 — Great app. But has an issue. *2019-09-24* Great app. Worked perfectly until yesterday. But now the zoomed in version doesn’t save. It creates a copy but the zoom doesn’t happen. Please fix. ### 5/5 — Wow! *2019-08-28* Spent ages looking for an app just like this, finally I can fake or simulate camera motions, track moving characters and add shake effects to my animations. Works perfect, simple and smooth. Thank you developers:). --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
