  1. [R5] AI Video Generator 5/5 · US Characters that don’t drift and sound correct: Heygen is currently the only platform that can pull off clean custom avatars and voice cloning incredibly well. I have been looking for this for months, found it!
  2. [R7] AI Video Generator 2/5 · US HeyGen’s New Update Ruined Realistic Avatars: This new update honestly ruined the realism for me. Before the update, the avatars felt subtle, elegant, natural, and cinematic. The movements were controlled and believable, especially for podcast-style or luxury content. Now the facial expressions, eye movements, lip movements, and gestures are extremely exaggerated and over animated, even when usi
  3. [R14] AI Video Generator 5/5 · US HeyGen: Best I’ve seen so far for avatars and voice cloning.
  4. [R21] AI Video Generator 1/5 · US lfixed avtar 4 photo to video: before update its accurate give the result, if you do now, you can see it chage the person photo totally different, and looking duplicate, i also complaint to email and send proof
  5. [R2] AI Video Generator 5/5 · US Best app: It’s cool and do what you want
  6. [R3] AI Video Generator 3/5 · US Good but flawed and confusing: I like this app, and have used it a bit. I find it very confusing. Seems straightforward, but often produces surprises that I don’t want. Can’t seem to sign-in consistently. Sometimes my avatars are gone. It acts like I have two different accounts but with the same email address…. ????? Also, the site can be very slow. Currently on free tier.
  7. [R34] AI Video Generator 5/5 · US Love It❤️❤️❤️: So easy to use love making videos with this, highly recommended
  8. [R53] AI Video Generator 5/5 · US Amazing: AI app is so quick and easy to use
  9. [R4] AI Video Generator 1/5 · US Does not work at all: Waiting for 24 hours for my video to load to give it a fair chance. Did more than one video. Both 0 percent
  10. [R6] AI Video Generator 3/5 · US Need regeneration per video created: The app is ok however if we could get at least 2 free regenerations that would be awesome. I say this because when creating the video my avatar gets added accessories I never request for example my avatar gets added boxing gloves, radios, etc which I did not request so 2 free regenerations with every video created would be great as well as being able to tell it
  11. [R11] AI Video Generator 1/5 · US Sloooooow: Tried to make avatars and short videos. App is GLACIALLY slow in processing. Like think back to the dial up days. Latest iPhone and iOS. Clean install. Apps runs slower than my nana. Uninstalled.
  12. [R13] AI Video Generator 1/5 · US Not good: The creator plan makes it seem as though you can make unlimited videos, and that is not true. I made less than 10 videos and I’m already being told that I need to buy more tokens in order to make more videos. The videos aren’t great either. My avatar will be speaking and randomly touch her hair.. just weird glitchy things. There are definitely better AI options out there.
  13. [R1] AI Video Generator 1/5 · US Pago: No tiene descargas gratis. Es totalmente paga
  14. [R9] AI Video Generator 1/5 · US So tired of lies: I joined under the impression that it was unlimited and you only get charged credits for premium items. I hit the cap within 24 hours and I was just warming up. I don’t mind even paying more for unlimited but I never liked counting credits. I have canceled 1 day in so if you are here for the same , I’ll save you some time. They billed me $29 for 1 day use. I will contact my Amex
  15. [R15] AI Video Generator 1/5 · US I do not recommend: I do not recommend it. I signed up for a one-week plan to test it. By my third video, I was already out of credits. They told me to either pay for a full month or buy more credits. I paid for a month, made a few videos, very few, and then again they said I no longer had access to premium features and would need to purchase more credits. In short, I don’t recommend it because you
  16. [R38] AI Video Generator 5/5 · US Best Customer Care: I was not able to locate a feature on my end, so I emailed the support team and received immediate, kind, and supportive responses! Such a cool app with a team that really cares supporting it.
  17. [R88] VideoShow AI Video Editor 1/5 · US No es fácil contactarlos: Tengo la app con membresía anual pagada en otro dispositivo al q no tengo acceso, no sé cómo pasarlo a un nuevo dispositivo, q tengo q hacer?
  18. [R104] VideoShow AI Video Editor 2/5 · US Stopped exporting my finished videos.: I use iPad Pro 11. It’s version is 15.5. I have the most current version of VideoShow, 5.9.9. Last week, it stopped allowing me to export finished videos. All I get is a partial screen, and NOTHING on the export screen works. I’ve went through the online customer service several times. Your customer service is horrible, don’t actually get help from a person.
  19. [R19] AI Video Generator 1/5 · US 30 Dollars for a Paperweight, Zero Flexibility and Predatory Limits: I am officially done with HeyGen. I signed up for the $30/month Creator plan to move forward with a professional film pitch, but the experience has been a total disaster. First, the value is non-existent. I managed to get fewer than 20 short generations before hitting a credit wall. For a thirty-dollar monthly fee, that is an insu
  20. [R61] VideoShow AI Video Editor 1/5 · US UPDATE THIS APP SO IT STOPS CRASHING: DO NOT BUY HIS APP. I just spent two hours making a video for it to completely crash, and I lost everything. This is the fifth day I’ve been trying to get this horrible app to work. It is not worth the money. They never answer any of this feedback, they never update to keep up with the more powerful phones, it is GARBAGE!!!
  21. [R64] VideoShow AI Video Editor 1/5 · US App shuts down constantly: I purchased the Pro version of this app. I like the app, but it constantly shuts down without saving my progress. I started a slideshow (about 15 minutes of work) and the app shutdown without saving. It’s done this many times. My bad for not learning to save my work, but you shouldn’t have to save it every minute, or lose it. Unfortunately, I’m going to have to switch pl
  22. [R67] VideoShow AI Video Editor 1/5 · US Horrible App! Save your money.: This app is so glitchy. You spend an inordinate amount of time editing your video only to have it glitch and malfunction at the end. Not worth the time or money. Search for a better editor.
  23. [R69] VideoShow AI Video Editor 3/5 · US App crashing constantly: I’ve used this app for nearly 8 years. No problems until now. First my videos that are going added are stretched. I have to scroll thru each added clip to fix the screen. Second the app is crashing while viewing, saving and reviewing my added clips. I’ve paid for this service for years without a hitch. One of my creations from here went viral. But now I’m going to have to
  24. [R23] AI Video Generator 1/5 · US Greed: I paid to try it, did a few videos for a week, NOW THEY WANT ME YO PAY TO DOWNLOAD THE VIDEOS I DID, that’s money hungry I’ll create my own app and compete with ya’ll
