Who it's for
Videoshop is for beginners or casual users who need a simple, easy-to-use app for basic video editing tasks like trimming and applying filters R25R29. It is not for users who require advanced features, reliable performance, extensive music options, or who are unwilling to pay for a subscription R71R269R580.
Evidence note: The recent reviews skew heavily negative, particularly regarding the shift to a subscription model and numerous bugs. While the lifetime rating is high, the recent sentiment indicates a significant decline in user satisfaction. The developer's notes are minimal and do not address the core issues raised by recent reviews, such as the subscription model or widespread bugs.

- [R4] So far !: So good, wow. Easy so thank you !!
- [R15] Loving it: Easily the easiest most useful app man I love it for videos all around my go to for creating
- [R20] Amazing: I love how simple and easy it is to use
- [R25] WOW!!!!: This app is perfect for anyone. If you have never edited before, this is the app for you it is so easy to start and make videos. SO WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR . DOWNLOAD TODAY TO START EDITING!!!!
- [R29] It works for the job i need: Im not a professional editor so it suits me fine. Trim a video is all i need for now.
- [R46] Worthy: Simple to use, quick and effective. It will cover the basis for all your occasional video editing plus some more.
- [R580] Okay for basic editing: Paid for a few pro features before this app became subscription based, but the features I paid for mean nothing now because I either have to watch an ad, or pay for a subscription (this was a d-move tbh). I’ve been a supporter of this app since the beginning but if I’m going to subscribe to an editing app, it will be something with more features.
- [R24] Storage & interface: It takes up way less storage space on my phone than similar alternatives. The interface isn’t intuitive, but it’s not hard to use either.
- [R39] The best video editing app !: I bought the app many years ago. Updated it and now it will not show anything but the subscription page. This is a great app. What happened I don’t mind losing the money I paid for the app. It was so long ago. I deleted the app and now I can’t get the free version it just wants me to subscribe now. Any suggestions?
- [R55] Watermark & Subscription BS!: I had previously bought this app years ago and it worked amazing, but now I have to PAY AGAIN to remove the watermark AND pay a SUBSCRIPTION?
- [R64] Was good, Then I got scammed: Bought 9 years ago, worked great through 3 phones, got a new phone last week and it says it doesn’t have any record of my purchase! Even though the app says right on it when I purchased it. Called, emailed, no luck. I’m not going to be sending these scammers any more money, looking for a new video editor.
- [R66] Full version to subscription model: I bought this as fully paid app and I was using it may be once a month but now they have switched to subscription based model and do not honor my fully paid model. I hope developer can still help to restore my purchase and validate it. I emailed them 1 month ago and still no response.
- [R11] SCAM DONT DOWNLOAD: As soon as you download the app and start working on a video, it tells you you have to pay.!!! Don’t bother
- [R78] No free features!: Barely any free features! Not able to edit videos good!
- [R198] Si fuera gratis como antes: Por un lado me gusta porque yo no soy buena para editar videos pero esta app facilita las cosas pero lo que no les gusta es que dice que es gratis, asta sierto punto si pero te limita en la edicion. Necesitas pagar mensualidad para que te deje editar lo que quieras. Osea que gratis no es.
- [R269] Could be better: This app is very average and many things a behind a paywall. Apps like CapCut are better because of the amount of amazing free features, whereas VideoShop doesn’t have many free features.
- [R3] Awesome app!: I am obsessed with this app! This is where you can edit videos with almost any device.id give five stars ⭐but there is some lagging. Over all, i think that this is a great app and you should get it if you hav'nt already.
- [R17] Now one star! Was: Five Star-Super app, learn w practice, personal use and web loading.: 6/4/26 I used the bug feature email to see if I could get them to see mane app errors some weeks ago, they asked for pictures and video and I sent what they asked for and I never had a reply nor were my paid features restored, it still says they have no record of me. So a day or two ago I send another bug r
- [R26] Not working right: It is not letting me see myself nor Whats in front of me and I’ve tried everything!
- [R27] Idk what happened: Videoshop used to be may favorite editing app for years. I just opened it & it doesn’t allow me to edit anything from my photo album.
- [R1] Mid: Horrible “Song” choices.
- [R9] love it so much omggg: one thing i would change is the audios , i would like a little more variety but it’s fine, another one thing is that i wish u could cut little snippets /clips out of videos instead of having to redo it or trim the whole thing but overall this is a rlly good app!
- [R31] can’t import voice memo to the app: this is really inconvenient when you can’t import your voice recordings to the app
- [R41] Gjdjyrdcutk: We want to have music like CapCut.
- [R7] My 2 star review: OK, this app is so fun at all, but I can only make two videos and then it says no more storage you need to delete videos to make more like all of my friends has so much storage and then they could just make all the videos they want and me like I can only make two videos and that’s it like what so weird don’t like this app🤬
- [R8] It is okay: I like this app but it said I didn’t have a enough space when I only filmed 11. I had this app before and it let me film more videos. I don’t know why but other wise I like this app.
- [R91] Good but Why no space: I only have four vids and u say I have no space so I can’t make vids and they lag a lot it is fun but please fix this
- [R241] 😩😱😑😞😁😁😁😁😁: SOO… I LOVE this app but.. it doesn’t hold a lot of storage! I only have one video that isn’t very long and it says my storage is low
- [R85] WHY: IT TOOK 2 HOURS TO DOWNLOAD!!!!
- [R162] It’s sooooo annoying: It takes sooooo long do load stuff
- [R549] My rate for you: I would give you3 stars like I did but I did because everything is very complicated and very slow and hard IT TAKES FOREVER TO LOAF but other than that it was ok I think you should fix those mistakes but that’s my opinion.😕
- [R570] Very slow (but good): Basically you have to import your video witch takes forever then when you wanna do anything with it it takes forever and when your finally done it takes forever to import to your pics so but over all it has great features just very slow
- [R5] Great app: I really like the app, but I just wish that there was a button that you could just press and then it automatically gives you captions throughout the entire video
- [R51] Text feature: Would be nice if we could get the feature backwhere it lets you know when texts are straight after resizing and that different sections of text lined up with each other.
- [R71] Some problems.: This app is pretty good for small edits. But you can’t extract and add audio and that’s kind of annoying. If I wanted to, I have to export my video and go on another app to add extracted audio and export it again. Would not recommend for big or cool edits. And the filters are very limited. Also, you can’t add good music, music is also very limited.
- [R205] No mute button: This app does not let you mute original audio. It’s worthless to me if I can’t mute original voices and sounds
- [R76] How much of my data!: Is your company taking my data and releasing it to other content creators? I’ve been seeing a lot of my ideas, some are obvious, that mysteriously end up on social media while I wasn’t ready to release my content yet! If you’re collecting my data and selling it to content teams and groups of people that work for google and YouTube and stuff, I will have to stop using your vid
- [R33] Y: Why is the pro pass a lifetime for $100 like bro I would be fine with 50. Maybe even like 75 yeah but $100 is way too much. I mean man das aloooooooot
- [R139] Overpriced: Premium is overpriced
- [R203] Not Worth It: This is a great editor, but it is not worth paying $20 for.
- [R13] Good: Love this app a lot had it for years but I wish there was a way to recover videos because I accidentally deleted a imported video and now I can’t get it back hopefully y’all could make a setting to get old vids back!
- [R183] Where is my purchase restore: I really love ur app but i switched to my new phone i cant restore my purchase please help me
- [R209] Everything gets deleted if you delete: I’ve been a user of this app for a long time, but it’s been taking out my storage so I had to delete it real quick so I can update my phone when I downloaded it back. Everything was gone.
- [R512] Good app that I use on my phone but…: I use the app regularly on my iPhone and find it pretty good. However, when I access it on my iPad under the same account, I’m unable to get the value of my PAID SUBSCRIPTION. This looks like a major oversight to me that I’d love to see fixed.
- [R35] Copyrighted music?: Been a PAID subscriber since before Covid, tell me WHY am I paying money for copyrighted music that YouTube WILL NOT allow? Video CAN NOT be viewed at all, let alone monetized. So what am I paying money for?
- [R34] I’ve used this for 4 years: I out of now here have been unable to edit, download my projects. Split them, insert. Even Make a video longer than 30 seconds. I’ve used this app for years. I’m so disappointed that I have to leave this review. And this app. And learn a new editing software as I suck at this anyway. But I found love making videos with this app. It was easy to learn and use. please fix
