### 1/5 — Can’t adjust brightness on iPhone 13

*2025-03-14, version 8.0*

Come on guys.  It’s been years!   Please fix the ability to adjust the brightness.  Since my iPhone 13 if you adjust global brightness, the video shows large black pixels throughout. 

Sadly this app is dead.  There is no new development.

### 5/5 — Quick good and cheap.

*2024-12-31, version 8.0*

Powerful little app that runs quick.

### 5/5 — KISS

*2024-12-05, version 8.0*

Perfect app. Does what needs doing. Works so much better than any inflated ai or pro grader

### 3/5 — Great app but....

*2024-09-25, version 8.0*

Updated: 9-25-2024

I like video grade but it needs to be optimized for IOS 18. It say it is optimized for only IOS 13.

### 5/5 — Excellent aap

*2024-03-06*

Amazingly impressive product

### 1/5 — Confused

*2023-09-15, version 8.0*

I puchased this app because it had good reviews but it’s practically unusable. No button works, you can’t select, can’t add more videos, can’t export. It’s a shell. An expensive one. I don’t know how they have all these good reviews or what happened but it’s a total ripoff

### 1/5 — Not updated

*2023-04-22, version 8.0*

Warning this hasn’t been updated in over 3 years

### 1/5 — ONLY works with your iPhoto library!

*2023-04-11, version 8.0*

I need a stand alone app, where i can import my own video from wherever i please. Fals advertising. Contating Apple for a refund.

### 3/5 — I was told there were frames.

*2023-02-21, version 8.0*

I found this app by asking ChatGPT for an app that would allow me to put my existing video on an iPhone frame without losing quality. I paid for this app and later found there is no such thing as borders.

### 5/5 — Problem on export

*2023-02-05, version 8.0*

Finally! Manual grade! I search a lot for this app. Thanks guys, but still there is a problem. Export failed. Please fixed!
