  1. [R3] Zoomerang 3/5 · GB Zooming: So good but yesterday I did a transition I finished then it got out of zoomaring so now the transition is gone
  2. [R4] Zoomerang 2/5 · GB Doesn’t work: Everyone told me zoomerang was really good and it was so cool but I downloaded it and it’s been so annoying. First of all, there are SO MANY things popping up saying UPGRADE TO PREMIUM NOW like I don’t want to pay a ridiculous amount of money so I can get a weird dog filter but the thing is literally ALL the templates say upgrade to premium or watch 3 ads to use and it’s like so anno
  3. [R5] Zoomerang 5/5 · GB Zoomerang: Super fun and good
  4. [R7] Zoomerang 2/5 · GB Zoomerang review: It says it is a safe platform but the first day I got this there was a user following me who had a name that my dad had seen before and it tracked him. I also would like to say I got to the end of a session which took me 2 hours to complete and it told me I had to reset and try again! Please white back to tell me what you are going to do to sort this out please. Thank you.
  5. [R9] Zoomerang 3/5 · GB really good: I like this app it’s just like TikTok and there’s a nice environment. But when I try to sign in I put United Kingdom for the starting number, and when I press on it and start putting my number in, it’s my real phone number, it changes to a different country and I don’t know what to do. I couldn’t put my real birthday in and would only let me put in the date it was today, the 28th of m
  6. [R12] Zoomerang 3/5 · GB Please read😭😭😭😭😭 urgent: I downloaded it and I made a video I accidentally posted it so I deleted the app and re got it but when I put ,E email it said it has already been taken I went on my account name and it wouldn’t let me re join please fix quickly
  7. [R8] Zoomerang 5/5 · GB This is only five stars to get it heard: DO NOT INSTALL THIS APP AT ALL. WHEN YOU INSTALL YOU CANNOT DELETE AND IT SHARES YOUR PRIVATE INFORMATION. YOU WILL BE TRAPPED. DO NOT FALL INTO THIS TRAP
  8. [R6] Zoomerang 3/5 · GB I am do this because it keeps give me this: It good but there is so many ads ( to be expected ) and the review keep popping up
  9. [R10] Zoomerang 1/5 · GB Only one star: I open the app. I add a picture and put in a prompt and it says that I need to upgrade before I can go any further. so basically I can’t even test it out to see that it’s any good or not because we know they are floors in some of these AI videos but I am paying to find out it’s a load of tat.
  10. [R11] Zoomerang 4/5 · GB Zoomerang: I love Zoomerang but I hate the fact it always comes up with level up your game adds when I don’t want them
  11. [R1] Zoomerang 1/5 · GB No: It's sumtimes said sware words like the f word horrible
  12. [R25] Zoomerang 3/5 · GB Good but needs improvement: It used to be 5 out of 5 stars 10/10 if I could however their recent update has made the website less fun. Why do we have to pay to save a Zoomerang that we do? Other than that, it is a great thing to help unwind. There is some cyber bullies too. When I made my first Zoomerang someone commented as a hater. This also happened to my friend.
  13. [R38] Zoomerang 5/5 · GB Please answer me: I like the app but the only thing i don’t like is that it has loads of adverts. I did have the app but my mum told me to delete it because it is like TikTok I have some questions about it so plz answer. Is there bad things on it like swears? Is there adults on it? Is it all kids mostly around ten to 13? Thanks for reading
  14. [R39] Zoomerang 5/5 · GB This is amazing: This app can get you lots of new friends and followers. Also this app can get you to play with your friends or family and it’s just amazing it’s bascilly just a kids version of TikTok so it’s brilliant i recccomend it to everyone with TikTok or instagrams
  15. [R71] Filmora 4/5 · US I want a refund. I bought the iOS version for my phone, but I can't work on it at all on my computer. The interface isn't compatible, so I ended up with two IDs for the same information. The problem is the app's features. To do simple or sophisticated edits, like the basic fade-out effect usually provided in video editing apps, you're forced to subscribe to the most expensive premium plan. I ended up having to install Meitu. It's only been a day since I bought it, but I don't think I can use it anymore. · translated
  16. [R72] Filmora 5/5 · US Muy util: Gratis, bien adaptado para el movil y con muchas funciones.
