## Review summary

Users report major stability and usability problems on iOS: crashes, unsaved work, and update loops dominate feedback. Desktop tends to be more reliable, but mobile experience lags. Subscriptions and refunds are frequently criticized, and sharing/export features are locked behind paid plans. Pricing for pro features is seen as steep, and overall UX is considered unfriendly. The app would need stable autosave, reliable exports, fair refunds, and clearer update paths to regain trust.

### Pros

- Desktop version generally works well and is more stable than the mobile app.
- Original simplicity of creating slideshows/videos was easy.
- Capable of producing good video results when functioning properly.

### Cons

- Frequent crashes and instability, with no auto-save leading to lost progress.
- Persistent update/compatibility issues and update loops that prevent using the app.
- Subscription management and refunds are problematic (auto-renewals, charges, cancellations, refunds).
- Sharing/export options are gated behind paid plans and hard to use without a purchase.
- High pro pricing and reliance on pro features, making it unsuitable for casual users.
