Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: ++SlideShow at 4.6 against Video Maker's 4.0. ++SlideShow also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 4) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.0). Video Maker's advantage is review sentiment (64% vs 25%) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

++SlideShow holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Video Maker has 10K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of Video Maker's written reviews are positive against 25% of ++SlideShow's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 12, 2026 respectively.
