– Constantina Bauer: “It is a good app for staying in touch with your family and friends. It is a way to make sure you still keep up with the changing features of loved ones who live so far away, that you would like to keep close, but it freezes up and i lise the volume when in a video chat. The volume disappears for both parties in the video. Would be a great app if this was no longer an issue. Would have given it 5 stars if it werent for this little issue.” – 3/5 in Play Store

– Emilio Gonzales: “The call quality was actually very surprising. I could hear my call clearly,even background noises were distinct which was cool because it gave it the actual phone call vibe. And the video was very clear and didn't lag or buffer Only issue was being able to connect the call it took us a while to figure that out. She has Apple I have Android. So it was a pain to get the codes right and for us to connect. That was the issue for not giving 5 stars. But all in all very satisfied,can't wait to call.” – 4/5 in Play Store

– Jeff Reitz: “Since the last upgrade, I have not been able to create cover images for my videos. I keep getting an error message. I tried uploading to the cloud to work on the desktop and the video transferred, but none of the added captions I had placed transferred through the cloud so now I will have to rebuild the video on the desktop if I want to have my cover image. This is very frustrating when I was just getting into using CapCut to quickly knock out more videos. Help!!!” – 3/5 in Play Store

Comments and Reviews from users:

– A Google user: “Three major problems with this app: 1. You can leave a meeting through a single click of the back button 2. If you have headphones without a mic, you cannot use your phone's mic while having audio come to the headphones, so you can't talk at all 3. The app doesn't show recent meetings from past days for easy reconnection (if the teacher hasn't set it up with google calendar)” – 3/5 in Play Store

– kissofwhimsy: “This app lacks features. Pros: it is included with my g-suite, and the closed captioning feature is fantastic and seems quite accurate. Cons: you can't choose your gallery view, when you are filming you can't make yourself whole screen-this is not helpful when using it to virtually show a space, you can't be sure of what you are showing the audience. Scheduling a meeting from the app (vs PC) doesn't seem to be an option. No recording option is available. Switching views in the app is clunky.” – 2/5 in Play Store

– Snowlyx: “I actually like the app. It's the one I'm used to. But recently the images in my gallery no longer are in the order I took them. When you do stuff similar to stop motion where you have a lot of picture that look the same and need to go in a specific order, it becomes quite the tedious challenge. I tried the little button where it sorts by date last modified but it's still not on the order when they were added.” – 2/5 in Play Store

– Gamer GirlK: “Kinemaster is an amazing app for sure, easy to use, navigate, and export. But it does have a few glitches, recently it for some reason hasn't been showing all of my image files, I'll take a few screenshots and like half of them are missing, and it's showing deleted screenshots? Ones that I deleted a while ago, but it won't show new ones... Is there a way to fix this? Or is it more of an update sort of thing? Whatever it is, I hope it get's resolved.” – 4/5 in Play Store

Used it a few times, and there has only been one hick-up that resolved by closing/re-open the app. It could have been me not knowing the features as it hasn't happened again. As my needs are basic, this app definitely has everything I need right now.” – 5/5 in Play Store

– Zachary Taff: “Intuitive. Have used very little video editing software, but having done photos hop, I found this software user friendly an intuitive. You can insert objects (text, emoji, even pip) and control how long they are onscreen and fade in and out of swoop in or out, add music, control when I t he song starts when in the video. Clipnout middle chunks if ya like. It's very user friendly IMHO.” – 5/5 in Play Store

– Kasey C: “I had paid for the full version years ago to have access to extra features and to remove the watermark. However after they switched to subscriptions they removed features that I had already paid for! They placed features behind a subscription pay wall despite the fact they used to either be free or part of the full version I had purchased. That is very scummy. It also glitches more often. I'll still use the app since its still very easy to use but im disappointed in what they did.” – 3/5 in Play Store

– Amazinations: “It's definitely good and it has potential as seen in the 2024 trailer, but it keeps crashing and stuff. Maybe it's the device im using (phone) but it keeps happening and I can't stop it. Other than that, pretty good. (Edit) I retract a star because when I go to add another layer when I have 3, instead of giving me the option to watch an ad to add another layer, it just forces me to buy Flipaclip+.” – 3/5 in Play Store

– Zane Universe (Halloween King): “Crashed on me multiple times, lost more than half of my progress. Was working on a animation that took me weeks, was super proud. It crashed and got deleted. Came back to the app EVERYTHING WAS GONE. But at least the app does what it's supposed to. My only reccomendation is... ALWAYS SAVE YOUR ARTWORK TO YOUR PHONE OR ANOTHER DEVICE!!! I probably just had a bad experience, but just be careful!” – 3/5 in Play Store

– Stephanie DeHaan: “I was really excited for the AI photo panorama but it keeps adding random distorted people into the places where the pictures blend together. The first two or three tries it blended the photos really well but the photos moved too fast and were blurry. Once I resized the photos and made them sharper it wasn't as bad but now every time I try to make one there's a random person added in somewhere between the photos and I can't figure out how to get rid of them.” – 2/5 in Play Store

– L: “Used to like it. But every time I try to use a template, upload my video clips and create a new video with the AI effects it just takes so long to build it (like over 5 minutes) that I just give up. It would be one thing if I could leave the app and come back and it was done, but the app stops processing as soon as leave. Anyway, just takes ridiculously long to process these days. So my rating has changed now, sorry.” – 2/5 in Play Store

– A Google user: “I like the app overall, but there have been multiple times I have had my videos almost completely edited and it crashes literally minutes before I'm completely finished, and it can't recover the video! Talk about frustrating! All that work, gone! I also think the sticker options are poor. In other apps I've used there are stickers for YouTube (Subscribe) and things like that, but these are just cheesy and there aren't many options, imo. I do REALLY like the swipe option to trim though!” – 3/5 in Play Store

– A Google user: “Pretty featureless compared to other video editing apps. Watermark unless you pay and their fee is way too high for what you get (only transition is fade to black etc.). If you're looking for a full featured video editor for a reasonable price try PowerDirector, it's worth every penny. Tried this one out because I'm considering purchasing the Movavi desktop software and was hoping this would be more than it was. Making me rethink purchasing the desktop version.” – 3/5 in Play Store

This feature is why I started going here and I just purchased almost 2 years of prepaid haircuts. This is the 2nd time a delay like this happened. I would have chosen another location near my other shopping. Not happy!!!!! Oh and not all places take the prepaid cards and you don't know until after. They said it because 1 person left.” – 2/5 in Play Store

– Asher Taylor-Dawson: “Great Clips' app does exactly what it says it will: allows you to find a GC near you and check in so you won't have to wait as long when you get there. It can give you directions if you need them—it plays really well with Google Maps; I haven't tried it with other GPS routing services. Given that some of both the best and worst cuts I've ever had were at GCs, it would be cool if the app remembered which stylists have cut your hair on which dates.” – 5/5 in Play Store

Sucks cause the app is user friendly and easy to edit simple videos on mobile or on the go, I do alot of Music Reel style videos and most are for paying clients (& using music is a paid feature) it's important that things work, Audio is in sync within the app but the render file always some how comes out, out of time which is frustrating and not usable :/ also the highest render file available is 4K which sucks when using 8K footage” – 2/5 in Play Store
