Vlogy turns the clips already on your phone into a video worth sharing — without a timeline full of tools you will never touch. Import your footage, trim it, add music and text, pick a look, and export. Most edits take a couple of minutes. There is nothing to sign up for and nothing to learn. ● THE RIGHT SHAPE, EVERY TIME Start a project in the shape you are posting in — 9:16 for vertical video, 4:5 for feed posts, 1:1 square, 16:9 widescreen, or 3:4. Choose whether each clip fits inside the frame or fills it edge to edge. ● EDIT WITHOUT THE CLUTTER • Combine as many clips as you like and drag them into any order • Trim any clip to the exact moment you want • Speed from 0.25x slow motion up to 4x fast forward • Five transitions between clips — Dissolve, Fade, Slide, Wipe and Zoom • Nine colour looks, from subtle Warm and Cool through to Noir, Sepia and Drama, each with its own intensity slider • Undo and redo anything, any time ● TEXT THAT LANDS Add captions and titles anywhere on the frame. Drag them where you want them, set exactly when they appear and how long they stay, choose the size and the colour, and pick from four styles — plain, shadow, box or outline. ● SOUND YOUR WAY Bring in music from the Files app, set its volume, and fade it in and out. Keep the original audio from your clips underneath it, adjust the volume of each clip on its own, or mute it entirely. ● PICK YOUR OWN THUMBNAIL Choose any frame of your edit as the cover, or use a photo from your library. It becomes the first thing people see — in your projects and in the Photos app after you export. ● EXPORT AND SHARE Export at 720p, 1080p, 2K or 4K. Save straight to your photo library, or send it anywhere you post using the iOS share sheet. ● EVERYTHING STAYS ON YOUR PHONE No account. No sign-up. No uploads. Vlogy has no servers at all — your clips, your projects and your edits never leave your device. ● VLOGY PRO The whole editor is free to use. Pro lifts the limits: • No watermark on anything you export • No ads • Export in 2K and 4K • Every colour look unlocked Vlogy Pro is an auto-renewing subscription, available monthly or yearly. Prices are shown in the app before you buy and are charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Your subscription renews automatically unless auto-renew is switched off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple Account settings after purchase. ► Privacy Policy: https://sites.google.com/view/vlogy-videoeditor/privacy ► Terms of Use: https://sites.google.com/view/vlogy-videoeditor/terms

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Slide Show Maker ⁺ at none against Vlogy's shown. Slide Show Maker ⁺ also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). Vlogy's advantage is update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 12 months). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
