2. [R10] 5/5 · US Amazing: This app it amazing so easy to use and so convenient for YouTube videos and more!
3. [R14] 5/5 · US Really Great!: This app is the most user friendly app I’ve downloaded of all the apps in trying to work with photos. Highly recommend
4. [R21] 5/5 · US Best video editor!: Editing my son’s football videos and my excavating videos is awesome. Lots of features, but yet very intuitive. I wish the menu bar text was a little bigger for my old eyes, but other than that if fantastic! Love it.
5. [R6] 5/5 · US Calidad: Lo que me imagino , ella lo hace realidad , lo más chido poner videos sobre videos, letras cool todo está perfecto le doy 10 estrellas👌
6. [R31] 5/5 · US No necesita pago: 10\10
7. [R36] 5/5 · US Easy to use than other: It is very simple and offer many things for free rather than capcut
8. [R46] 5/5 · US Good editing app: Its Free and Powerful
9. [R15] 5/5 · US This app is so good: It helps me edit my YouTube videos and even friends are telling me that it is good and they’re asking which app do I use but I’m kinda gatekeeping a little because this app is way too good
10. [R17] 5/5 · US Good: I’m making things from my YouTube channel and this is really helping me out. Really recommend to use this.
11. [R23] 5/5 · US Peak!: Ive been using inshot for about 2 years and i really enjoy it! sure sometimes it crashes but its easy to understand and i recommend this if you wanna make edits or edit vids! Ads arent to bad either :D
12. [R5] 5/5 · US Best editor app: Wether a photo is too dark, bright, or weird looking, this app can fix it
13. [R96] 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
14. [R102] 3/5 · US Easy to use, impossible to save: I love how easy it is to edit with this app BUT WHY CAN IT NOT DOWNLOAD MY VIDEOS ONCE THEY’RE DONE?!?! If the video is longer than 15 seconds, it fails 100 times before I can actually save it to my phone. This is so consistent that I’m thinking of switching to a different editing app.
15. [R26] 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
16. [R32] 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
17. [R3] 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.
18. [R267] 1/5 · GB Shame: Great app until you come to save a video. You spend week editing only to have it constantly crash trying to save. I’ve been having this issue for over a year now.
19. [R44] 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.
20. [R159] 3/5 · US Paid Advertising: I’ve used you guys for years but you make it difficult you convert full screen videos with instagram and also the advertising has just got out of hand. You guys are great but I’ve probably spent hours having to go through advertising and re-editing several times. I’m sorry. Great app but hell guys lol. Probably 13 years using you guys and it’s still the same. No conversion.
21. [R439] 1/5 · GB 3 MINUTE ADVERTISEMENTS: Awful
22. [R447] 2/5 · GB Needs fixing: Please fix, your iPhone advert keeps popping up even during editing and voice overs taking over the entire screen!
23. [R9] 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
24. [R271] 1/5 · GB i hate ai: stop forcing gen ai on people, its so bad for the environment and a complete waste of water
25. [R315] 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.
26. [R394] 1/5 · GB Don’t buy if you want longer videos!: It’s terrible; spent 3 days editing a good 1 hour video and it won’t download even at 480! Shocking waste of time and money. Didn’t realise it was a useless AI editor. Yes, done everything it’s suggested to work and nothing has. Absolutely gutted.
27. [R149] 3/5 · US Always loved InShot, but..: Iris’s the version that was $39 permanent. All of these apps now want you to join their subscription model. I still permanently have the android version. I just wish you guys brought back the option to buy it as a one time purchase.
28. [R345] 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.
29. [R357] 1/5 · GB Really disgusting: Why is it not allowing me to restore subscription purchases which I already made in my previous android phone? Instead, of restoring its asking me purchase new subscriptions. It’s really disappointing.
30. [R384] 2/5 · GB Misleading purchase options on App Store: The app store lists a lifetime purchase option, which I would do, but when in the app or on their site I cannot find any such option listed anywhere. I would have opted to edit some videos on another app if I’d known there was no lifetime purchase option in this one. Otherwise, the app seems usable and designed well for iPad. I cannot vouch for how it woul
31. [R251] 2/5 · GB Quality issues: I am have problems with the quality of the finished video. I saved it in 1080p but the resulting video is almost unwatchable. This is disappointing. Could it be due to internet speed? I don’t know but I will have to find another way to edit video. I am using my iPhone to take the video and my unedited clips play beautifully.
32. [R263] 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
33. [R161] 1/5 · US Fix audio glitch: I had a 20 minute long video i was editing for youtube and when i tried to add a bunch of sound effects it would add them and then the sound would work when i clicked on them, but when the video played, the sound effects would not be heard, i tried going back and fixing them and re adding them and logging out and back in the app but nothing worked. then once i went and tried uplo
34. [R197] 3/5 · US Could use some additions: There are better options out there it kinda lacks good sound fx 😕 but good for just starting edit practice.
35. [R255] 3/5 · GB Music: There is not enough music for the apple music option
36. [R275] 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
37. [R124] 2/5 · US Ugh: It keeps say that I don’t have enough cache storage and I can’t save my videos🙄
38. [R331] 2/5 · GB Cache needs sorting: I used this app almost every single week and the same thing happens time and time again. Tells me I can’t use it because the cache is full. I empty it then reedit the video I’ve done three times and it says the same thing again and again so I resort to another app.
39. [R320] 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:((
40. [R356] 1/5 · GB Very poor: I thought this app would be the one app that works properly no it doesn’t it’s slow as anything and you have to pay for what you want to edit that’s stupid I highly don’t recommend
41. [R419] 3/5 · GB Half half: Is kinda good but most things need like pay
42. [R518] 3/5 · CA LOVE IT: It’s sooo good for collages, but it’s low-key kinda expensive. There’s not enough free cute stuff to edit stray kids with but love it tho!
43. [R77] 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
44. [R550] 3/5 · CA Good except for this bug…: I absolutely love this app and use it for all my editing needs. However, when I watch an ad to get rid of the InShot watermark, it never works. It tells me reward granted and when I try to exit out of the ad, I’m stuck there. The only thing I can do is close the app and reopen it, so my reward never registers as granted and I’m stuck with the watermark no matter how many
45. [R548] 1/5 · CA Shows ads, and still has a watermark: If I have to watch ads to use this app, there should not be watermarks on the resulting videos.
46. [R24] 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.
47. [R1] 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
48. [R18] 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
49. [R100] 3/5 · US Finding buttons: I absolutely love this app but I would use it more than CapCut if we could search stickers & fonts and if the font of the buttons would be different but besides that this app is great! I have been using this app for 5 years! It’s amazing, 100% recommend!
