  3. [R9] Videoshop 3/5 · US Itune music: The app is simple and easy to use. I love that about it. But one thing that upsets me is that you can’t even add Apple Music from iTunes to your videos. It’s frustrating because I added the pro version of this app and I am unable to edit music that I WANT into it.

  9. [R12] Videoshop 3/5 · US How much of my data!: Is your company taking my data and releasing it to other content creators? I’ve been seeing a lot of my ideas, some are obvious, that mysteriously end up on social media while I wasn’t ready to release my content yet!

  14. [R18] Videoshop 3/5 · US Overpriced: Premium is overpriced
  15. [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.
  16. [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
  17. [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.
  18. [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.
  19. [R52] Videoshop 1/5 · US Crooks: Don’t take the free trial because they’ll charge you for a year even if you cancel before your free trial is up. Pathetic

  22. [R64] CapCut 2/5 · US Too many templates on premium: I use CapCut and its templates to edit games for YouTube. For the longest time, this app was a four star for me because everything was very easy and simple. But now, certain templates that I’ve used in the past are now only for premium. A lot of templates for texts are on premium and I’m getting fed up with it. Stop making every single font/template premium for the l
  23. [R69] 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
  24. [R75] CapCut 3/5 · US !!!: I love the app but I don’t know why it cost money to import audios now
  25. [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?
  26. [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.
  27. [R79] CapCut 2/5 · US Little bit disgusting because so lag and so many ads: so many ads on this app please fix it
  28. [R81] 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 🫩
  29. [R94] CapCut 2/5 · US not very good: Good for editing. When it works, see a lot of time when I use this app it forces me to delete photos and videos and files off of my phone if I am am even CLOSE to being out of storage. Now I know, technically that is my fault for being out of storage, but even when I’m not it still says “You need storage. Try it now.” I only gave it two stars because it is just an OK editing app.
  30. [R96] CapCut 3/5 · US Love it. One BIG problem tho: CapCut is great for editing. It’s one of the best editing apps around, actually. However, WHY DOES IT NEED 800MB? Genuinely, I shouldn’t have to wipe out half of the things on my phone just to edit. I get that you aren’t able to change this, but it’s still frustrating.
