User Reviews

Users like the app for its ease of use and dramatic FX, but stability and pricing are major concerns. Repeated crashes and force closes during recording, uploading, or playback are frequent across devices (including iPhone 14). Many effects are paid and can be pricey; some users feel the library is outdated with few new options. Critics also report limited control over effect placement (distance/angle) and the need to repurchase effects after reinstall. Overall, the concept and quick-result workflow are strong, but reliability and monetization issues dominate user sentiment.

Pros

Easy to use with a quick, drop-in workflow to create entertaining clips (choose a filter, point the camera, record).
Strong and varied set of dramatic effects (truck crash, earthquake, tank, locust swarm) that boost video impact.
Core functionality remains solid and enjoyable despite age, with some users noting good performance on Mac and long-standing usefulness.
The app delivers fast results, letting users produce clips in seconds when it works as intended.

Cons

Frequent crashes and force closes during recording, uploading, or playback (including on newer devices like iPhone 14).
Payment model heavy reliance on paid effects; many users feel it’s expensive and that you have to pay for most effects, with some reports of repurchasing after reinstall.
Lack of updates and a limited, outdated effects library; requests for more/new effects and ongoing development are common.

Recent reviews

This is a great game, but every time I wanna get into the game, it crashes most of the time. And when I make a video and it’s loading, it takes at least five minutes to finish loading and sometimes I doesn’t even load. I was so excited to get this because my siblings and I love making horror movies, but this just keeps crashing. it’s almost impossible please fix.
