  9. [R6] VideoShow AI Video Editor 3/5 · GB It's sort of good..: I've had this for a couple of year's and I have used it a lot, before the problem. Now the problem is that if I want to edit something that's in my drafts I can't because it's says that the draft is damaged and can't be used at the moment, but it's not just one draft it's like all of them and I don't know what to do since I've only maybe got a couple or mins to finish somethin
  10. [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
  11. [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.

  14. [R4] VideoShow AI Video Editor 1/5 · GB Waste of space: cant even add music from your videos and overlay it, had to go through five adverts before even starting, had to closet the app because it gave me a vip notification with a faded out not now option that i couldnt click, grotesque and a waste of time in general. i cant give it zero stars so i give it a one
  15. [R15] VideoShow AI Video Editor 2/5 · GB Can’t export.: Creating videos with this is app is great but I can’t export. I’ve got the VIP part free on trial but I still can’t export, regardless of quality. It’s driving me mad. I click the link for support and it takes me to a download page. I want this app but now have to look elsewhere as I seem to have nowhere to turn.

  17. [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!
  18. [R37] VideoShow AI Video Editor 1/5 · GB THEIR VIP IN APP PURCHASE IS A SCAM. DO NOT BUY: The VIP Service doesn’t work. I paid £22 for the Annual Service. It doesn’t work. You won’t get a refund neither from the developer or Apple. No support whatsoever. Total waste of time and money. Beware!!!
  19. [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...
  20. [R53] InShot 3/5 · US I’m having trouble with the app: Love the app for short videos for some reason I can’t seem to download a 15 minute long video it just doesn’t download I’m so frustrated
  21. [R63] InShot 1/5 · GB Don’t save videos: Don’t render videos, stuck on 60-70%. I didn’t have this problem before. Will change a rate after fixing the bug
  22. [R67] InShot 1/5 · GB Don’t buy if you want longer videos!: It’s terrible; spent 3 days editing a good 1 hour video and it won’t download even at 480! Shocking waste of time and money. Didn’t realise it was a useless AI editor. Yes, done everything it’s suggested to work and nothing has. Absolutely gutted.
