1. [R4] InShot 1/5 · US The Dropbox ad keeps crashing the app.: Hello, I am reporting a recurring issue with the app. Whenever a Dropbox ad appears, it causes the app to crash or freeze. After this happens, I am completely unable to reopen or use the app, which makes it impossible to continue my work. Please investigate this bug as soon as possible. Thank you.
2. [R6] InShot 3/5 · US I’m having trouble with the app: Love the app for short videos for some reason I can’t seem to download a 15 minute long video it just doesn’t download I’m so frustrated
3. [R15] InShot 3/5 · GB Going fine up until recently…: …when I imported a file to trick up, and despite it playing absolutely fine everywhere else - even on other iPhone apps - every ten seconds I get a sudden jerk in the video while trying to edit it. Even tried moving down from 1080p to 720p and it does the same. Output includes this glitch. Update: it’s nothing to do with my Internet connection. I’ve imported the fil
4. [R16] InShot 1/5 · US 4K takes forever: I’ve been using this app successfully for 4 years and I loved it. Within the last month or so I can no longer export 4K videos without my phone overheating and it taking a ridiculously long amount of time to export a vid. I tried turning off HDR, I tried another phone, same problem. So it’s not my phone. I’ve had to switch to CapCut. Don’t know what you guys upgraded, but it suck
5. [R19] InShot 1/5 · US Will NOT SAVE & Chinese Company: BE AWARE that this app is a chinese app!!! I wasted 45 minutes editing my video because your app will NOT SAVE / Export it. Your app Sucks! I’ve never had this problem with CapCut ever
6. [R7] InShot 2/5 · US I loved this app but: the integration of "AI" into every single thing is making our lives miserable but absolutely making apps like these slower and glitchy. I wish I could have my money back. Updating my review in response: PLEASE GIVE THE OPTION TO REMOVE ALL GENERATIVE "AI" FEATURES. smh
7. [R36] InShot 1/5 · GB i hate ai: stop forcing gen ai on people, its so bad for the environment and a complete waste of water
8. [R40] InShot 1/5 · GB Where did the Cut tool go?: Ruined a great app by hiding standard editing tools like Cut/Pre-cut just to cram in AI stuff. It’s impossible to use efficiently now. Going to look for a different editor if it doesn't get fixed.
9. [R22] InShot 1/5 · US Why I will be uninstalling InShot. I liked it, but….: InShot has excellent editing features, but the ads have become unbearable. Many are extremely hard, sometimes impossible, to close. It interrupts workflow and makes the app frustrating to use. This is the number‑one complaint I hear from other users too. The app would be fantastic if the ad experience wasn’t so aggressive.
10. [R28] InShot 1/5 · US Water mark bug: I have a hug where after I watch ads for the water mark to be removed,I can’t exit the ad once it’s over I set there on the ad screen being told to download a game for an hour I even downloaded the game thinking it will set everything back in order
11. [R12] InShot 3/5 · GB Music: There is not enough music for the apple music option
12. [R18] InShot 3/5 · GB I love this but one thing: So basically i dont like how therr isnt a lot of good music choices i want like ones like capcut. Thatss all hahaha but i loove this app
13. [R24] InShot 3/5 · GB Good (ish: Its good ig but SO MaNY THINGS ARE LOCKED, and no i dont wna pay that much (im broke asf😭) and imo i dont think @1 shld be used, it wastes and pollutes water:((
14. [R46] InShot 1/5 · GB They removed lifetime membership: What a scummy company. Removing the lifetime option is a ridiculous thing to do and I will definitely not be using this app anymore.
15. [R13] InShot 1/5 · US Terrible customer service: I swich from android to iphone with a different email account and they wont let me use my yearly subscription, so i lost my money and now i have to pay for a new subscription and more expensive.
16. [R1] InShot 2/5 · US I wish it could film: i want to do dances on it but i can’t because i can’t film on it , you have to use your camera role then add the music after and then i’ll be off beat
17. [R25] InShot 1/5 · US My response to my last review’s developer’s response: Developers, if you are seeing this, what I meant by poorly made was that the videos have less customizability and lacks the options that would make a video feel well-made. I apologise for being late
18. [R35] InShot 4/5 · US good but could be better: i really really wish we were able to have a timeline view where we can see text, music, and audiowaves from the video all at once. sometimes the pause and play button lag when a video starts to get big which means i have to spend longer to trim off noises especially when i can’t see them in timeline view. the video viewer takes up so much of the screen, we should be ab
19. [R38] InShot 1/5 · GB InShot if u improve this I’ll acc be so grateful and make this review 5 stars: This would be the best editing app but why is there no option to custom rotate a PIP without enlarging or shrinking it?!
20. [R51] CapCut 1/5 · US this app suck: i have been editing for years but pro has gone TOOT FART this app puts everything behind STUPID PRO, including EXTRACTING AUDIO THE MOST BASIC FEATURE EVER this company is so greedy, end ts 😩🥺🥺😡😡🥰🥰😳😳😘😘😏🎰🤞🙏💔😢🥺😔😞😵‍💫😭
21. [R53] CapCut 3/5 · US Pay walls: This is not my kind of cake. Pay walls just to do simple things? In my opinion, it’s a little greedy, but it’s probably my fault that I don’t have enough money for this, it’s not a bad product if you got the money.
22. [R54] CapCut 2/5 · US Too many templates on premium: I use CapCut and its templates to edit games for YouTube. For the longest time, this app was a four star for me because everything was very easy and simple. But now, certain templates that I’ve used in the past are now only for premium. A lot of templates for texts are on premium and I’m getting fed up with it. Stop making every single font/template premium for the l
23. [R55] CapCut 5/5 · US Used for rants and still do!: Love CapCut and I used this for goofy vids in the past
24. [R65] Splice 1/5 · US Garbage: Used to be free, updated to paid version and deleted all my videos, new music sucks too.
25. [R68] Splice 2/5 · US Have to pay to use: All these apps charge for basic features. It’s not great but could be worst. It’s alright.
26. [R69] Splice 5/5 · US Love it!: A fun way to put videos together! Ive used it for professional and personal projects and it does not disappoint :)
27. [R70] Splice 3/5 · US ExPeNsIvE: $10. For a WEEK. Bro. And a whole lot of features are behind that Paywall. For example; you can only have TWO videos in progress at a time. Which I guess isn't too bad if you think about it, but it's auful for me, as a bit of a scatterbrain. Lemme suggest something; make it like 1/4 of the price, which is still like &2.50ish, so you get your money's worth. Or, maybe do $10 a MONTH.
28. [R79] VN: Photo & Video Editor 1/5 · US DO NOT USE THIS: Do NOT use this if you want to export your work. I worked on a video for 5 hours only to find it impossible to export it anywhere. Many users on Reddit have experience the same thing. For your own sanity DO NOT RISK IT. I’ve tried everything and have now given up.
29. [R80] VN: Photo & Video Editor 4/5 · US Amazing!: It’s a really good app , but you guys need to make it where u can make unlimited edits without subscription.people should make more editing apps like this
30. [R81] VN: Photo & Video Editor 3/5 · US Nice but…: This app is better than iMovie but I can only use a few templates for some reason,and idk how to add music,can I get a reply for help
31. [R82] VN: Photo & Video Editor 1/5 · US Needed change!: Allow us to rename sound effects after extracting them and saving them, also allow us to edit a sound effect we already saved later. Allow us to go back and change the name of it and edit it after already saving it
32. [R93] iMovie 1/5 · US Format Prison: Why can’t I change the format?
33. [R94] iMovie 5/5 · US You my guy: All free I appreciate it
34. [R95] iMovie 3/5 · US Good: Really good, but I wish you could just slow down one part of the video, not the whole video
35. [R96] iMovie 1/5 · US IT SUCKS!!: It removed my audio, it bugs way too much, and it cut out some of my video!! I definitely recommend alight motion or CapCut!!
36. [R107] VivaVideo 2/5 · US I CANT WAIT: Produce an executive by DMA, the wise guy, my new prodigy and she can’t wait
37. [R108] VivaVideo 5/5 · US Love it: It’s just Awesome
38. [R109] VivaVideo 3/5 · US Good, almost great product…but: I’ve been using VivaVideo Editor for a few years now and it’s been pretty solid overall for quick video edits. But I have to say I’m really disappointed with the new AI section. It shows some clear bias and does not seem to represent multicultural people fairly. I just disappointed with the representation for AI videos, clearly that’s who VivaVideo Editor is market
39. [R110] VivaVideo 1/5 · US App crashing: App has been crashing every time I open animation since the new update. I otherwise love this app. Please fix and I’ll edit my review
40. [R57] CapCut 1/5 · US Suddenly made exporting a video a pro feature.: I can’t use the app properly if I can’t export my videos. You guys were one of the only apps who didn’t charge for this. I’m deleting this app and am severely disappointed in you.
41. [R74] Splice 1/5 · US WAS my go-to EDIT: I’ve had this editing app for years and over time it’s only gotten better. <- IS WHAT I WROTE but then after leaving the prompt I’m left with a subscription option when this app was free from the beginning? They were also loyal to their original users and told us that we won’t have to pay since we have been loyal to them since the beginning. I feel so betrayed, I can’t afford to
