  1. [R2] PicPlayPost 4/5 · US Why did you remove some grids: Hi, I renember there being a sixteen pictures/videos grid. And a 11 picture/video grid. You removed those. Please add them back. Also, add stuff up to, like, 64, or 49. Or even 36 is fine. Please add these (back). This is fine, but NOT ENOUGH. The reason being is because I want to join the youtubepower (a group on YouTube made by Discoverguy1999) and I think more the
  2. [R9] PicPlayPost 3/5 · GB The cake is a lie: Ok, so it used to be 4K videos and the limit was 30 mins, but there’s no 1080p option and the limit is 10 minutes (same as bandicam) I thought it said unlock all features, what happened?
  3. [R11] PicPlayPost 5/5 · US The perfect photo app: So satisfied! This app is giving me all the features that I need to make collages of my monthly photos. The only thing I wish I could do is swap pictures from one place to another more simply. Otherwise I have no complaints and I’m so glad I found this app! Thank you to the creatives who developed this app!
  4. [R32] PicPlayPost 5/5 · US Used this App for 10 Years!!!: My ole reliable, this app is the best! I have literally used it since 2016 - perfect for making all of my images of my outfits, family events, or birthday praises come together into one piece of artwork~
  5. [R1] PicPlayPost 1/5 · US Difficult to navigate: Very difficult to choose order of pictures or to delete them one you have selected them form your album
  6. [R3] PicPlayPost 3/5 · US Elysa Terzian: You can’t delete anything, but it doesn’t make pretty good videos
  7. [R5] PicPlayPost 4/5 · US Great: Easy and fun!
  8. [R10] PicPlayPost 2/5 · US SIMPLY THIS APP: Good features but my GOD SIMPLY THE APP SO YOU CAN DIRECTLY CHOOSE AND EDIT THE PICS OR VIDEOS YOU WANT TO PLACE IN THE COLLAGE AND IN THE ORDER YOU WANT THEM IN ITS LIKE ONCE YOU PIC YOUR GROUO OF MEDIA YOU CANT MAKE ANY CHANGES IN THE ORDER THEY GO IN THE COLLAGE LAYOUTS I HAD TO DELETE IT choosing the order option shouldn’t be that difficult
  9. [R4] PicPlayPost 1/5 · US error pop ups: too many error pop ups for rendering the video to camera roll or attempting to add a soundtrack from My Music
  10. [R6] PicPlayPost 3/5 · US Need to fix bugs: The app has many bugs, keeps glitching.
  11. [R7] PicPlayPost 1/5 · US Will not render: I paid the seven dollars for the month and the video will not render, I cannot download it. I emailed twice and got responses that were not helpful. I requested a refund from Apple twice and they told me both times that I could be refunded for the app purchase. So it was a total waste. I was never able to download or share the video that I created. It’s the principal. If I pay f
  12. [R18] PicPlayPost 3/5 · GB Meh: Making the video is good but when you want to save it to camera roll it doesn’t save.
  13. [R12] PicPlayPost 3/5 · GB Purchase not working: So I purchased the monthly subscription on my I phone for this app, but when using my iPhone I have to make another purchase. To me that is fraudulent
  14. [R13] PicPlayPost 2/5 · US Why the changes??: You ruined perfectly great app. Why does everyone fix things or upgrade things that never needed it to begin with. I could try this app was so good and now you ruined it. We have to pay extra for things that we used to get for free. You can’t really use the timing anymore. It just sucks.
  15. [R16] PicPlayPost 1/5 · US Wrongful Charge: I signed up for the free trial before I committed to it and was charged 30 dollars when it’s 6.99 a month. I need my money back
  16. [R21] PicPlayPost 3/5 · GB Good but please remove watermark: This is a really great app for editing but the water mark is huge please at least have a smaller one, or have it at the end. Thanks
  17. [R44] PicPlayPost 1/5 · GB Avoid and go for an alternative: I took out an annual subscription on my phone and wanted to get the app working on here too. You would have thought that taking £22 for an annual subscription it works anywhere. Bit like Netflix. Think again they want me to pay another annual subscription for using the app on my ipad. Total rip off. Customer support wasn’t even apologetic. I would give it zero star
  18. [R46] PicPlayPost 1/5 · GB Charged instantly for free trial: Hi, I signed up for your free trial today, after downloading your app for the first time. However, when I have looked at my bank account I have been charged the sum of £22.80. Can you advise please, as when signing up it stated a free trial, cancel anytime and will not be charged. I look forward to your immediate response!
  19. [R67] Video Editor · 1/5 · US So many Bugs: This app fails to do even the most basic editing functions. Plus, there’s no help or instructions so the user can’t figure out if they’re doing something wrong or the app is just sucking. Based off experience editing on their programs it’s the app. Sometimes it will allow you to shorten your video and sometimes it won’t. I’d find another app.
  20. [R25] PicPlayPost 2/5 · US Frustrating: Too frustrating. Put song but when sent no song was added
  21. [R62] Video Editor · 4/5 · US Why do all apps have this!?!?!?!?!?: Good app but people not gonna wanna pay just to make videos and good editing features.
  22. [R66] Video Editor · 3/5 · US So many bugs and pop ups ….: It has a beautiful set up editing wise, but the lack to change text, getting ads that won’t close, ruining the audio, and constantly getting pop ups everytime you open something is beyond annoying. I can’t even upload anything without paying for it.
  23. [R70] Video Editor · 1/5 · US Not free.: Deceptive labeling on the seller site. It says in app purchases when you go to download the app, but in fact they require you to buy a subscription. They know where in the description tell you that it is not free.
  24. [R97] Video Editor · 1/5 · US Omg the adds: All i can say is if you dont pay you cant play
  25. [R75] Video Editor · 3/5 · US look please don’t be offended creators..: Look I’m not trying to be mean but like it’s hard and complicated just saying, also you should be able to put more than 2 videos because I’m trying to make videos for YouTube because I need and intro a video AND an outro and I can’t do that apparently with this app so please fix that…(sorry if I’m sounding mean I don’t mean to be, have a wonderful day!) It
  26. [R102] Video Editor · 3/5 · GB It works but...: It definitely works and I’ve used it for some of my favourite edits but if you select over about 150 photos, it crashes and completely won’t let you use it for those photos/ videos
  27. [R119] Video Editor · 1/5 · US Limited to 10 pictures: This is stupid on the premium plan it still only allows 10 items
