First off, it relies heavily on generative ai which is already a red flag, but it also requires full access to your account. In theory it could start uploading things to your account without you even knowing. Also, way too much is behind a paywall. It’s so stupid just how much stuff I can’t use just because I’m broke. Deleting my account and removing the app from my phone. ### 5/5 — Answered Prayer *2026-07-28, version 2.8.7* Thank God for the creators of this app I’m already seeing a lot of increase on views on day one. Still working on more subscribers for my channel but I am hopeful and thankful. God bless you. Thank you so much for creating this app!!!🙌🏽♥️ ### 5/5 — Gồd *2026-07-25, version 2.8.7* Good ### 5/5 — Tìm hiểu về chìa khoá *2026-07-25, version 2.8.7* App nầy giúp tôi tìm rất nhiều ý tưởng hơn ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — It’s ok *2026-08-19, version 2.8.8* I had to pay on the 3rd thumbnail 🥀😭 So it’s ok but I had to pay so I deleted it but I will get it back once it’s free ### 1/5 — App no longer works *2026-08-19, version 2.8.8* App doesn’t work anymore, Clipping shorts now requires uploading the video separately, remind me why I pay for this again? ### 1/5 — Very negative experience with ai generated content *2026-08-07, version 2.8.8* I am not satisfied with this paid ai content generator. It finishes fast. Spend your money on chatgpt or claude ### 1/5 — buruk, *2026-07-25, version 2.8.7* ai coach nya sering gagal dan tidak memberikan jawaban tapi kredit tetap terpotong. akhirnya harus prompt ulang. serta jawaban dari Ai coach tidak valid. data yang di berikan banyak kesalahan. saya sadar setelah saya cek ulang jawaban dari ai coach. sungguh mengecewakan jika anda sudah membayar untuk sesuatu yang tidak berguna ### 1/5 — Instagram connect doesn’t work *2026-07-19, version 2.8.7* Instagram connect doesn’t work, so it’s not useful to me ### 1/5 — Vid Iq is trash *2026-07-08, version 2.8.7* Vid IQ is absolutely garbage. I upgraded to find out that even with $60 you’re still limited. It doesn’t process requests and burns 3x the amount just about every request. Once I upgraded they just bug out more and make you use more of your credits. This app is a scam. Absolutely worthless. The YouTube channels are cool though. Until they refund me at least 800-1000 credits I won’t go back to this garbage app ### 1/5 — Paid Subscription Constantly Freezing *2026-07-02, version 2.8.6* I’m paying $50 per month for this app, but it constantly stops working. I frequently have to force close the app or log out and log back in just to get it working again. This happens over and over, making it difficult to use the features I’m paying for. For the price, I expected a much more reliable experience. If this issue can’t be fixed soon, I’d like a refund because I’m paying for a service that isn’t working properly. ### 1/5 — It’s a scam *2026-06-29, version 2.8.6* I thought this was going to be an amazing app I told my friend the next day my friend got hacked ### 1/5 — Money Grab, Constant Troubleshootinh *2026-06-28, version 2.8.6* Every day I have to re login to my account and re authorize my account. Sometimes I have to do it 5 times in a row for it to even work. If you even want to learn anything about your niche and channel $19 a month. Ask to rate your shorts $19 a month. Complete scam if you don’t pay. ### 1/5 — Bad *2026-06-25, version 2.8.6* They just want me to pay all the time ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — The best tool I’ve found *2026-09-06, version 2.8.8* How does it get any better than this? Gives you about 100 hours of your time back! ### 5/5 — Super helpful *2026-09-03, version 2.8.8* Super helpful but you have credits and only get 20 per day🥺 ### 5/5 — VidIQ *2026-08-30, version 2.8.8* VidIQ is one of the best apps to use if you need a better thumbnail or a better title for your videos I’ve been using it for a few months and not one time I’ve been dissatisfied but I was iffy about the price though 💯 ### 5/5 — VidIQ Is Great *2026-08-30, version 2.8.8* Our Videos are improving every time, thanks to VidIQ. We just broke 1000 views in the first 3 days. We used the suggestions made by VidIQ.. ### 5/5 — Thank youuuuu😊 *2026-08-29, version 2.8.8* Video IQ has been so very helpful in my creator journey. Thank you.. ### 5/5 — VidIQ Team Is my Teachers i love you all *2026-08-29, version 2.8.8* your Small Rafiqana ### 5/5 — Absolutely great *2026-08-16, version 2.8.8* I love this app ### 5/5 — Very helpful *2026-08-14, version 2.8.8* I'm 19, just launched my first long-form video, and vidIQ has been an absolute lifesaver. It makes coming up with clickable, honest titles so much easier and eliminates all the overthinking. The overall interface is incredibly clean and simple to use even if you're a complete beginner. Highly recommend to anyone trying to take content creation seriously!" ### 5/5 — The Key *2026-08-14, version 2.8.8* Where have you been all my life?! ‘Coach’ provides actionable Intel every day and we have doubled both our subscribers and watch hours in 30 days!!! Thank you VidIQ ### 5/5 — Love this app, but it isn’t scaled for iPads *2026-08-09, version 2.8.8* Please allow it to be scaled for iPads too :) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
