## Review summary

Reviews praise Pexels for its free, high-quality images/videos and easy saving to devices, benefiting video projects and wallpapers. However, multiple reviews report reliability problems: downloads fail or stall, crashes occur after the first video, and performance freezes. Search relevance is often poor, and post-update stability issues persist. Overall, content quality is strong, but download reliability, search accuracy, and performance hinder a consistently smooth experience.

### Pros

- Large library of free, high-quality images and videos
- Easy to use with a wide variety of content
- Ability to save/download photos and videos directly to your device
- Excellent image quality and wallpaper options (including iPad wallpapers)
- No ads and fast downloads

### Cons

- Downloads can fail or stall, and the app sometimes crashes after the first video
- Search results are not reliably relevant to queries; poor search algorithm
- Freezes and lag during use, reducing smoothness and reliability
- Ongoing stability issues after updates (issues persist across versions)
- UI/UX download flow is unclear at times, making it hard to figure out how to download video clips
