It say it is optimized for only IOS 13. ### 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. ### 2/5 — 書き出し結果がプレビューと違う *2021-07-29* lumafusionと比べると、とても多彩な調整ができるので、グレーディング中はとても楽しかったのですが、表題の結果になりました。具体的には全体的に明るくなり、空は白く飛んで、ビネットを使った箇所がバンディングを起こしていてよろしくない。S5撮影のHDR動画が素材だったんですが、対応できてないんですかね。エンコードの改善お待ちしています。 ### 3/5 — Really cool app when it works *2021-07-06, version 8.0* Powerful and simple to use… when you can get it to actually add videos to the edit pool. For some reason there isn’t an “add” button anywhere, the app just randomly pops up with “would you like to add new photos?” But I have no idea how to trigger it. Restarting app, double tap, long press, landscape or vertical, nothing. If that doesn’t pop up, then no editing for you. I tried to reach out to the devs via the “contact developer” button but that doesn’t appear to work either. I really like the app when I can randomly add videos, but it’s too finicky to rely on. ### 3/5 — A nice app that could use some Improvement *2021-07-01, version 8.0* The color channels sliders are unintuitive. Please consider replacing them with highly-intuitive and effective HSL controls. HSL is all I really need, to do basic color grading. ### 2/5 — Useless for Instagram unfortunately *2021-04-22, version 8.0* Videos are useless for Instagram unfortunately. No matter what you do it shows up as a big blank square in your feed . ### 4/5 — Can be so much better *2020-07-15, version 8.0* Hi, I have been looking for a video editor like this for so long. This app is close to what I had in mind but there is still room for improvement. There are some features that I wished the app had such as extensive hue control over the video (like in photoshop/Lightroom for photos when you can target a certain color and change the hue of only that certain color not the whole frame), or some cool presets to try on. Basically what I was looking for was like a Lightroom app for videos. ### 5/5 — Stellar app *2020-06-24, version 8.0* There’s no better video color grading iPhone app I know of. Way more in depth than I ever would’ve expected. Also to the developers, THANK YOU 🙌 for continuing to update it to work well with newer iOS updates! ### 3/5 — Decent *2020-04-29, version 8.0* It’s pretty good just when I export the video it gets very grainy which is not good but before I save it the makes seem like it will turn out perfect ### 5/5 — Soooo easy soooo effective *2020-04-24, version 8.0* Love this app. Have owned it for years. This app is fast, simple, and highly effective. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 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. ### 1/5 — App doesn’t even work DONT BUY *2022-08-11, version 8.0* I paid 6 dollars and this app doesn’t even load in it crashes before it’s even able to show any features of the app and as far as I’m considered it’s a waste of time and money do not buy this app ### 1/5 — I used to love this app *2022-05-23, version 8.0* This used to be an amazing app but it has been crashing on me for years ### 1/5 — VideoGrade crashes consistently *2022-05-09, version 8.0* I purchased VideoGrade in an attempt to find a way to white balance videos on iPad since iMovie doesn’t have this capability. Not only did it NOT have a white balance capability for video but it crashed every time I attempted to finish and edit. ### 1/5 — App does not launch *2022-02-05, version 8.0* I just purchased this and app simply does not launch. I deleted and reinstalled app. :( How can I obtain a refund??? ### 1/5 — Not Working *2022-02-01, version 8.0* Just freezes on open screen Have contacted support but nothing back yet ### 1/5 — Can’t adjust brightness on iPhone 13 *2021-11-14, version 8.0* On my iPhone 13 if you adjust global brightness, the video shows large black pixels throughout. I have reinstalled the app and tried it on a different iPhone 13, and the problem is still there. The app needs to be updated. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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 ### 5/5 — Excellent aap *2024-03-06* Amazingly impressive product ### 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! ### 5/5 — СУПЕР *2022-12-24* Жаль только кривых нет. В остальном лучшее что нашел !!! ### 5/5 — Very good I say *2020-11-05, version 8.0* Say I very good ### 5/5 — Amazed by the options *2020-10-13, version 8.0* Thank you for providing Gamma! ### 5/5 — Love This Tool *2020-08-22, version 8.0* This is my go to tool for fixing my IPhone pictures and videos. I have iPhone 11 and it always gets the color temp wrong when operating indoors. ### 5/5 — これ一択です *2020-07-05* iOS用で細かなカラーグレーディング可能なアプリは他に無いのでは？機能満載で使い切れていません。 ### 5/5 — Great Features & Affordable *2020-06-26, version 8.0* This app is one of my favorites. Really user friendly and affordable. The one time fee makes it a bonus. Love the features and this app makes video color editing a breeze. A big thanks to the developers of this app. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
