## Review summary

User reviews repeatedly cite bugs, crashes, and export/audio issues, plus misleading ads and paywalls. While a few free effects and basic tools exist, most users see limited functionality and feel the app doesn’t match advertising. Overall, stability and usability problems dominate the experience.

### Pros

- Basic editing capabilities exist with some free effects
- Some unique effects/tools (e.g., repeater) appeal to users
- A few users report you can get usable results after reinstall

### Cons

- Frequent crashes and freezes, including on startup
- Export issues and audio problems (no sound in exports or during editing; export may fail)
- Advertising is misleading and there's a heavy push to buy Pro; many features advertised are not in-app
- Limited features: only one effect per shot; lack of real-time effects and limited layering
- Poor onboarding: few tutorials/documentation; hard to learn how to use features
