User Reviews

Users largely praise Instories for ease of use and strong templates, enabling quick content creation, especially for business. However, many reports focus on major downsides: a billing/trial model that can feel deceptive and hard to reverse; frequent stability problems like crashes and content loss; a credit system that restricts AI video output unless you buy more credits; limited or slow customer support; and marketing promises that imply a free version when access requires a subscription. Overall, billing and reliability concerns dominate.
Pros
  • Easy to use with quick content creation using templates.
  • Quality designs and templates that help produce polished visuals.
  • Great for business: speeds up production of multi-format content (reels, videos, posts).
Cons
  • Pricing and refunds issues: misleading free trial, automatic annual charges, and difficult refund processes.
  • App instability: frequent crashes, freezes, and content loss; battery drain.
  • Credit-based model with limited AI videos per week and costly upsells.
  • Poor customer support: no direct help, refunds routed through Apple and often denied.
  • Advertising promises vs reality: you can't try the app for free and must subscribe to access features.

No free option/ad supported option. Requires a subscription. Makes you go through multiple “questionnaire” screens before you are prompted for a 48 hour free trial or pay by month/year. Uninstalled.

This app crashes every 2 mins. Not worth the money or time, find another editing app

It’s crazy how these people do think there better than photoshop or Lightroom or any other app out there! Don’t get me wrong, great product, but charging that much for some fonts that I saw that I had in my own files is crazy! And that much??? Man that’s wild
