1. [R3] 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.
2. [R9] CapCut 3/5 · US STOP MAKING EVERYTHING PAY-TO-USE!!!!!: This is a good editing app but recently, everything has to be paid for now. I can’t even extract any audios or music now. And you guys barely have any of the real phonk songs under Sounds, Its always a fake version of the original phonk song or nothing like it. Get it together, I’m starting to see why so many editors are starting to leave CapCut. STOP BEING
3. [R28] CapCut 1/5 · US STOP BEING GREEDY!!: Look. I understand you have to make money. BUT DO NOT MAKE EVERY SINGLE FEATURE PRO!!! I was editing a video i wanted to post today last night but i got tired and went to bed. i woke up to find the TWO MOST USED FEATURES PRO. your telling me that if i extract an audio or use the chroma key.. i have to pay now?? even after using you since 2022 i have never been this disappointe
4. [R70] Canva 1/5 · US GREEDY THIEVES!: claimed a FREE 14 day trial, got charged full price immediately. at the end of the TRIAL, i was charged full price AGAIN. they refuse to refund because my subscription is through apple and not canva directly. I’ve been supporting this app for YEARS when it was $7/month back in 2020 and the downhill this app has taken is despicable honestly. i will NEVER support this app ever again
5. [R41] CapCut 5/5 · US Love Capcut!!!!: Easy to use, so many options
6. [R21] CapCut 3/5 · US cool and easy but..: THERES SO MUCH LAG THAT I CAN BEARLY USE IT? like srrsly i cant even move an overlay bc of lage when i put like only 5 layers 🫩
7. [R64] Canva 1/5 · US Not intuitive! Very hard for beginners: Canva is very hard to use if you are not an expert! It’s not intuitive. It’s very difficult to navigate. I would not recommend unless you take their courses to understand how to be an expert at using the app.
8. [R72] Canva 3/5 · US Coach: Really great app but very hard to navigate when you are unfamiliar with the design aspect of Canva
9. [R38] CapCut 4/5 · US Lag: When trying to edit I experience lag with good internet and it’s not just me I know lots of editors/mixers like me and they experience it too PLEASE fix it but other than that it’s good
10. [R108] Canva 3/5 · GB Great for some things, not for everything: Canva is great for short-form social media content but terrible for editing longer videos, it’s honestly the most frustrating video editing app I’ve ever used. It’s ridiculously slow, glitchy and lags constantly even when doing it on a laptop in google chrome. The clips either stop playing completely or stay stuck in the video in playback when they’re not
11. [R111] Canva 3/5 · GB Ok when it works and stops glitching and disappearing: Your reliability must improve, especially for paying subscribers like me. What on earth happened this past week? White screens and no functionality.
12. [R115] Canva 2/5 · US It just stopped working: I was using the app but it just stop working and has been saying it’s been having technical difficulties for a few weeks now
13. [R93] Canva 3/5 · US Too many subscriptions: The app used to have helpful things to make the design look good and now a lot of those good thing now cost money. I use it a lot but I can’t use it for certain things because now it costs money.
14. [R88] Canva 1/5 · US Insane Subscription Hikes: Going from $12.99 to $15.99 was bad enough, now it is up to $18.99 for the same service I once had for $12.99. I gave up. When are these companies going to learn raising subscriptions isn’t the answer. Eventually the working class is going to break and limit which subscriptions they are willing to pay for.
15. [R112] Canva 1/5 · US Misleading Retention Offer: I decided to cancel my subscription, but before canceling I was offered approximately $3 if I avoid canceling the plan, I accepted the offer but when my subscription renewed, I was charged the full monthly price instead. I cancelled my subscription immediately after noticing the charge. This was very disappointing and felt misleading. I hope the company reviews this iss
16. [R61] Canva 2/5 · US Money: Why do you have to pay for everything might as well use something else because this other app this app just lucky I even picked it and then I’m trying to work in these things keep coming up. Can you rate us? Can you rate us like stop. Let’s me work in peace
17. [R71] Canva 5/5 · US The amazing wonders of Campa: Amazing. Customer service has hundreds of templates video editing your name. Have a good luck exploring on camera.
