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.

I downloaded this app after seeing an ad that showed how to blend multiple vacation photos into a video, but I could never figure out how to do it. The AI often added random items into my photos or completely ignored what I requested, resulting in weird videos. Paying per use quickly adds up when the results are so unreliable. I didn't feel comfortable purchasing a subscription after the trial—at $120/year, it’s definitely not worth it for casual users or non-content creators.
