ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Fliptastic holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SlideShow Maker Photo to Video has 105K ratings behind it against 574, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 58% of Fliptastic's written reviews are positive against 65% of SlideShow Maker Photo to Video's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Fliptastic ships an update every 2 months, SlideShow Maker Photo to Video every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 23, 2026 respectively.
