  12. [R18] Videoshop 3/5 · US Overpriced: Premium is overpriced
  13. [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.
  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. [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.
  17. [R100] VN: Photo & Video Editor 1/5 · GB Main frame when editing keeps on fading to black and other glitches: This could be really good but…. - Whenever I try and edit a clip the main frame keeps going in and out of fading to black. The timeline at the bottom is correct and clear, but the main picture is useless. I’ve emailed the developers several times and I did have a response at first but they still haven’t fixed it so the app is u
  18. [R3] Videoshop 3/5 · US Copyrighted music?: Been a PAID subscriber since before Covid, tell me WHY am I paying money for copyrighted music that YouTube WILL NOT allow? Video CAN NOT be viewed at all, let alone monetized. So what am I paying money for?
  19. [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!

  21. [R99] VN: Photo & Video Editor 3/5 · GB It's good but...: Honestly it really depends on how many projects you will create and keep and how much you want to edit your videos without paying. You have 100 projects and I think all the features (which are good but not many). If you like doing little silly things then this is the editing app for you. If you're publishing this work, or doing edits I would probably recommend a different app. I
  22. [R110] VN: Photo & Video Editor 5/5 · US VN app: Great app and very easy to use! No water marks and very easy to edit and clip videos together! Totally recommend!
  23. [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🤬
  24. [R17] Videoshop 4/5 · US It is okay: I like this app but it said I didn’t have a enough space when I only filmed 11. I had this app before and it let me film more videos. I don’t know why but other wise I like this app.
  25. [R61] VN: Photo & Video Editor 1/5 · US DO NOT USE THIS: Do NOT use this if you want to export your work. I worked on a video for 5 hours only to find it impossible to export it anywhere. Many users on Reddit have experience the same thing. For your own sanity DO NOT RISK IT. I’ve tried everything and have now given up.
  26. [R97] VN: Photo & Video Editor 1/5 · GB I will find you: Fix The Upload Issue I’m sick and tired of having to repeat myself. I told you guys 13 times already, that’s almost the same amount of times I tried to export my 6 minute video into my gallery. Rest assured if you don’t fix this problem, I will force myself to put aside everything to find person responsible for this app
