  1. [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.
  2. [R11] Videoshop 4/5 · US Great app: I really like the app, but I just wish that there was a button that you could just press and then it automatically gives you captions throughout the entire video

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!
  9. [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🤬
  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. [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
  12. [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
  13. [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
  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. [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. [R69] Splice 3/5 · US Frequent crashes lose projects.: Cannot get responsive support. Frequent export problems. Support only contacts you after a negative review.
  18. [R34] Videoshop 1/5 · US Watermark & Subscription BS!: I had previously bought this app years ago and it worked amazing, but now I have to PAY AGAIN to remove the watermark AND pay a SUBSCRIPTION?
  19. [R46] Videoshop 1/5 · US No free features!: Barely any free features! Not able to edit videos good!
  20. [R64] Splice 2/5 · US Have to pay to use: All these apps charge for basic features. It’s not great but could be worst. It’s alright.
  21. [R66] Splice 3/5 · US ExPeNsIvE: $10. For a WEEK. Bro. And a whole lot of features are behind that Paywall. For example; you can only have TWO videos in progress at a time. Which I guess isn't too bad if you think about it, but it's auful for me, as a bit of a scatterbrain. Lemme suggest something; make it like 1/4 of the price, which is still like &2.50ish, so you get your money's worth. Or, maybe do $10 a MONTH.
  22. [R93] Splice 3/5 · US A few things 🙃: It’s kinda annoying that I have to have a subscription to do more than two edits! I mean come on! Pls? Especially when someone is just trying to edit a few videos. I get it, (yes, I do). Y’all are just trying to make some money, but still, but I do like all of the editing features on the app. But there could be some new updates on it, I hope it doesn’t sound like I’m trying to do
  23. [R94] Splice 1/5 · US Terrible: After two exports you have to buy premium.
  24. [R73] Splice 1/5 · US When I purchase music off iTunes I waste my money it doesn't load: I buy some of iTunes from your site and they don't ever load I've wasted about $20 I have to keep deleting my app this is my third time and it causes me to lose my save work and music your days are numbered
  25. [R88] Splice 1/5 · US Thumbs down!: This app is making paying for music I already have on my library… I guess that’s how the app makes its money… I wouldn’t recommend this to any of my friends.
  26. [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! If you’re collecting my data and selling it to content teams and groups of people that work for google and YouTube and stuff, I will have to stop using your vid
