## Review summary

Users praise Glitch Wizard for its powerful, feature-rich toolset and creative glitch effects, with many options and high quality visuals. The app is frequently described as easy to use and capable of producing impressive, bonkers moving glitches. However, critical issues include frequent crashes (including on startup or during GIF imports), a missing undo facility (users want an undo button or true frame-level undo), and export quality limitations (desire for higher resolutions and to avoid borders/black bars). Some reviews mention presets and more filters, but these are less common.

- Impressive glitch effects and high-quality visuals

- Great creative potential for unique moving glitches

### Cons

- Frequent crashes and crash-prone behavior
