  1. [R39] Videoshop 5/5 · US Absolutely blown away: I’ve used this app for 2 1/2 years. I bought a service for when I could afford it. I’m unable to now but the free version is absolutely stunning. I’m blown away. I really am. I’ve probably made 500 videos using imports the slicing copying filters speed editing, you name it I’ve used it like I said, very user-friendly and again blown a freaking way!
  2. [R43] Videoshop 5/5 · US Final Cut❌ Videoshop✅: This app is does everything I need from Final Cut but so much easier. I’ve been using it for over 8 years and it’s never failed. I’ve tried others (cap cut, videoleap,etc) but have always come back to this one.
  3. [R20] Videoshop 5/5 · US love it so much omggg: one thing i would change is the audios , i would like a little more variety but it’s fine, another one thing is that i wish u could cut little snippets /clips out of videos instead of having to redo it or trim the whole thing but overall this is a rlly good app!
  4. [R30] Videoshop 3/5 · GB VideoShop: I think this is a good app but I really wish it had better music and songs on it, I think that would be it just that bit better! And probably some more transitions. Other than that good.

  10. [R5] Videoshop 4/5 · US Awesome app!: I am obsessed with this app! This is where you can edit videos with almost any device.id give five stars ⭐but there is some lagging. Over all, i think that this is a great app and you should get it if you hav'nt already.
  11. [R7] Videoshop 1/5 · US SCAM DONT DOWNLOAD: As soon as you download the app and start working on a video, it tells you you have to pay.!!! Don’t bother
  12. [R24] Videoshop 3/5 · GB Could be better: This app is very average and many things a behind a paywall. Apps like CapCut are better because of the amount of amazing free features, whereas VideoShop doesn’t have many free features.
  13. [R46] Videoshop 1/5 · US No free features!: Barely any free features! Not able to edit videos good!
  14. [R28] Videoshop 1/5 · US The best video editing app !: I bought the app many years ago. Updated it and now it will not show anything but the subscription page. This is a great app. What happened I don’t mind losing the money I paid for the app. It was so long ago. I deleted the app and now I can’t get the free version it just wants me to subscribe now. Any suggestions?
  15. [R13] Videoshop 1/5 · US Now one star! Was: Five Star-Super app, learn w practice, personal use and web loading.: 6/4/26 I used the bug feature email to see if I could get them to see mane app errors some weeks ago, they asked for pictures and video and I sent what they asked for and I never had a reply nor were my paid features restored, it still says they have no record of me. So a day or two ago I send another bug r
  16. [R36] Videoshop 1/5 · US Was good, Then I got scammed: Bought 9 years ago, worked great through 3 phones, got a new phone last week and it says it doesn’t have any record of my purchase! Even though the app says right on it when I purchased it. Called, emailed, no luck. I’m not going to be sending these scammers any more money, looking for a new video editor.
  17. [R40] Videoshop 1/5 · US Full version to subscription model: I bought this as fully paid app and I was using it may be once a month but now they have switched to subscription based model and do not honor my fully paid model. I hope developer can still help to restore my purchase and validate it. I emailed them 1 month ago and still no response.
  18. [R82] Facetune 1/5 · US Careful warning!!!!!: They will trick you into a full year subscription and not give you your money back . I clicked on one of their click baits for a trial. I thought I clicked on a monthly subscription after the trial was over. I must have not and clicked on a full year at over $80. I normally watch this and make sure it’s on a month after trial. I tried to cancel right away and reached out de
  19. [R62] Facetune 5/5 · US Cancelled my Subscription + Still Charged: I did a 7 day free trial, then I cancelled it. Then a few days later I got a $30 charge to my bank account and I was suddenly subscribed to a year-long subscription. I never signed up for it. Be careful.
  20. [R64] Facetune 2/5 · US Beware! App does not actually cancel free trial.: As the title says, “Beware! App does not actually cancel free trial.” You have the option to cancel in app but it does nothing. I could only cancel it from my Subcriptions section of the App Store. App itself is meh. Results are cartoonish but I didn’t have the patience to try some of the AI assisted features like Portrait.
  21. [R73] Facetune 1/5 · US Beware: Do not download this app for the free subscription after you cancel your free trial they will still charge your card
  22. [R63] Facetune 3/5 · US PIC LOSING QUALITY AND BLURRING FACE WITH VANISH TOOL: PICTURES ARE LOSING QUALITY WITH EVERY USE FROM THE VANISH TOOL. FACE IS COMPLETELY BLURRED WHEN FINISHED. PLEASE FIX THIS AND I WILL UPDATE MY RATING. I use this app largely for the vanish tool.
  23. [R84] Facetune 3/5 · US This sucks.: I loved FaceTime. Natural editing that you can add to your liking. They JUST did an update and ruined the entire app. Idk if they’re using some kind of AI or what but now it alters your face completely. I’m so upset. A true shame.
  24. [R90] Facetune 3/5 · GB Was a big fan until now: I’ve been paying for this app for a few years and always considered I was getting good value from it, but a couple of months ago they removed the filters, such as “golden hour” which I primarily used the app for. They’ve been replaced with awful colours that don’t achieve the same effect. I won’t be renewing if these aren’t reinstated soon, sadly.
  25. [R93] Facetune 3/5 · GB Preferred the old filters: I used to love this app but since they changed the filters I hate it. I prefer the standard filters on instagram. I probably won’t renew the subscription. I wish they kept the originals and just added the new ones as extras.
  26. [R4] Videoshop 2/5 · US My 2 star review: OK, this app is so fun at all, but I can only make two videos and then it says no more storage you need to delete videos to make more like all of my friends has so much storage and then they could just make all the videos they want and me like I can only make two videos and that’s it like what so weird don’t like this app🤬
  27. [R15] Videoshop 3/5 · US Good but Why no space: I only have four vids and u say I have no space so I can’t make vids and they lag a lot it is fun but please fix this
  28. [R16] Videoshop 1/5 · US Idk what happened: Videoshop used to be may favorite editing app for years. I just opened it & it doesn’t allow me to edit anything from my photo album.
