★★★★ Danielle Dayo 5/8/2026 v17.7.0
after the update, it's basically trash. the update wants us to spend a lot, turning literally the whole app in need of purchase all the time
★★★★ freddie unsworth 5/8/2026 v17.6.0
does not load on my laptop
★★★★ Mateusz P 5/8/2026
Remove pro or make it useful. I remember making videos on this app 2-3 years later? I edit on davinci now. It's all because of that annoying pro feature. You try to add a cool effect? NOPE. Pay for pro to add it! The pro feature has gotten worse throughout the years. The devs really are hungry for money. I do not recommend this app and there are better editing apps anyway that don't slowly take away stuff with pro.
★★★★ johnwyn colantro 5/8/2026 v14.8.0

★★★★ Ashley Micoella Ortega 5/8/2026 v2.8.0
Every tap correspond to an ad. It used to be helpful but now everything is limited and some features are not even worth the money to purchase.
★★★★ Nico Travers 5/8/2026 v13.7.0
Everything needs ads and everything needs premium

★★★★ Ariannah Victorina 5/8/2026
this used to be an awsome app, everything is free, easy to use, not complicated. Now, it became an app that you need to pay which isn't before. Now i need to use some free editing apps as an alternative because capcut used to be my only editing app, yes - im a loyal user over here. That's why i don't get the part we're everything you have to use need to be paid.
★★★★ Johnny Mccoy 5/8/2026 v17.6.0

★★★★ I_Have 5/8/2026 v17.7.0
this app genuinely just sucks it takes the quality down to an all time low and is impossible to edit with unless your spending 8$ a week on something completely useless
★★★★ Gumii O_o 5/8/2026
I used to use this app ALL the time. but now... my favorite editing thing is pro? almost EVERYTHINGS pro now. basically everything! PLEASE, fix this.
★★★★ Ronald Rey Santiago 5/8/2026 v16.0.0
keeps lagging when i edit even if i clear my cache and no way to fix it and crashes mid edit without saving progress, whats the point of this app?
★★★★ Sula Kiggs 5/8/2026 v14.4.0
Can't edit anything with audio for free, even if it's imported the app says it's "extracted audio" and won't let you export without paying for pro features.

★★★★ Antonio Sarza 5/7/2026 v17.7.0
there are a lot of new things in your app, almost everything that people will use now has to be paid for it, before it was okay because almost all of the users of your app were just in slow motion when they relied on your app including audio but what did you do?
★★★★ Emily Campos 5/7/2026 v17.6.0

★★★★★ Justin Rush 5/8/2026
refuses to export video until I turn off auto adjust or pay for pro. I've looked up everything on youtube hundreds of people have the same problem some of those videos are from a year ago and it's never been fixed. don't hold the video hostage that I spent hours on just to pay for pro bc of a "bug" you won't fix.
