## Review summary

Glitch! is a long-time favorite for its artistic, customizable effects and strong developer support, used by many for years. However, multiple reviews cite recurring issues: saving glitches (especially with VHS), crashes and instability, and concerns over premium pricing and access to purchased tools. The datamosh interface is also noted as being difficult to use. Overall, it remains a valued creative tool, but stability, pricing, and interface usability are the main areas for improvement.

### Pros

- Long-standing quality app with years of use and trusted by users.
- Great, customizable effects for artistic editing.
- Developer is helpful and responsive to issues.
- Produces a distinctive, artsy aesthetic popular on social media.

### Cons

- Saving glitches: the save function is glitchy and often saves the wrong version or fails to apply effects (e.g., VHS) on export.
- Crashes and instability: frequent crashes, inability to exit, and overall unstable performance.
- Premium pricing/access issues: features moved to premium, purchases sometimes not restored, and the overall cost is a concern for users.
- Datamosh interface usability: the interface is hard to use, with no pause, immediate parameter loading, and frustrating tuning that can lead to crashes.
