  1. [R53] Canva 3/5 · GB Full of “stuff” but poor basics: Used the 7day trial. Loads and loads of designs/images/animation but the basics of creating and editing movies is poor.
  2. [R58] Canva 5/5 · GB Love Canva: I love how easy Canva is to use. Great fun, so many handy templates to use for various things like invitations, posters etc. Highly recommend.
  3. [R59] Canva 3/5 · GB Pay to win: This app could be great, but it honestly feels like you’re basically trapped into paying for premium just to use it properly. The free version is so limited that almost everything useful is locked behind a paywall, and it constantly pushes the subscription in a way that feels more frustrating than encouraging. Instead of enjoying the app, I felt like I was being pressured the whole ti
  4. [R51] Canva 1/5 · GB Not intuitive at all to use: Very difficult to use and confusing platform
  5. [R56] Canva 3/5 · GB Great to have, but flawed: Honestly everything you need from Canva Pc and it’s great to be able to edit on to go, get some ideas on paper or continue to work on something away from the computer. There are loads of upsides to this, and for a mobile app it’s honestly very good for the task! I’m definitely impressed. But it is flawed. Don’t expect to pick up and go as you would from PC! The optimis
  6. [R61] Canva 5/5 · GB Canva: I love this app, so easy to use and a great tool for designing- even without having the premium version. I always use this to make invitations and I’ve never been disappointed!
  7. [R7] VideoShow AI Video Editor 1/5 · GB No good: Every time I try to edit the app crashes and goes off and loses all saved data just useless
  8. [R11] VideoShow AI Video Editor 1/5 · GB Crashing: Been using this app for almost every one of my YouTube videos, that was until today. Now it runs like a slideshow until eventually crashing 4 minutes later. Not to mention wasting money on the premium version. Fix the app already.
  9. [R62] Canva 1/5 · GB Terrible: Tried making a poster for an assignment, but the app and website both barely work. Tried zooming in and out but didn’t really move that much. Tried writing a text box, literally did nothing. Everything is absolutely awful on this app and it barely works.
  10. [R23] VideoShow AI Video Editor 1/5 · GB Not free: Not free. After a trial you’re automatically charged £40!? Iv deleted the app ASAP as soon as I realised that was the situation. I’d best not be charged, Iv not even used it...
  11. [R88] Canva 4/5 · GB Great: You can do a lot but most cost money
  12. [R35] VideoShow AI Video Editor 1/5 · GB Abnormal account: I like using the app but customer support doesn’t reply and it’s stopped working. It will suddenly tell you the account is abnormal and won’t let you use the full app. Extremely disappointed as I need to make videos for work, putting a lot of time and effort into a video from the app and then it not working is extremely frustrating. Very Bad!
  13. [R57] Canva 1/5 · GB Scammers: Do not pay subscription you choose monthly subscription and after that somehow is changing to year subscription and took all amount!! Be careful when you choosing subscription!! There is not chance to refund money
  14. [R89] Canva 5/5 · GB Canva: Absolutely excellent! Worth every penny. And more!
