Captions: For Talking Videos 17+

I’ve got to say, the Captions app has completely changed the game for me in terms of creating content. I’ll be the first to admit that technology and I don’t always get along, but this app has made everything so much simpler. Adding subtitles used to be this big, daunting task, but now it’s a breeze. And it’s not just the ease of use that’s made a difference—it’s the actual impact on my videos. I’ve noticed a real uptick in engagement since I started using it, which has been fantastic.
Now, one of my absolute favorite features has to be the templates. They have a bunch of them, and it’s so easy to find something that fits the vibe of my video. And once I find a style I like, I can save it—font, color, everything—so I can use it again later. That kind of consistency is key, especially when you're trying to create a brand or just a cohesive look for your content.
But back to the subtitles, they’re not just your plain, run-of-the-mill captions. They’re dynamic and they really add a professional touch to the videos. Recc!

Thank you so much! 🌟 We're so glad to hear you're enjoying Captions and all the templates and customization options we offer.

I originally felt this app was a strong 4 stars out of 5 but I just went to edit something I’ve been working on for a while and noticed some changes. Basically the ability to see segments of text in that page sort of format has been done away with(?). It makes the playback laggy now. Scrolling through the words has a strong stick to them so that’s also clunky. It also feels like it messes with the timing of the audio as well.

Overall, it’s a change that has impacted productivity and workflow. Before it was more satisfying. I’ve made mockups for the apps PixelCut, PicsArt, Eraser, Remini, PixelCut, Canva and Vont, for changes I thought would be beneficial. Every app fell behind except for PicsArt and InShot… the only two who made my mockups real features. And simply due to the positive feedback from those features, they actually pass my emails up the chain and make such changes. I don’t get paid from them. I simply love editing and they make that experience satisfying.

I believe you guys are in your own lane, but have sharpened the technological tools when it comes to AI. Please.. revert back to the previous layout, or perhaps even make it an optional feature. Because I’m sure it may be beneficial for some and you guys likely put in a lot of effort to make such a small change. I’ll continue editing to push through the change, so if anything comes up that changes my mind, I’ll update my review.

Hey there 😊 Thanks for the really great and detailed feedback. We always appreciate hearing more from our users and learning about what features and improvements they feel could make our app stronger!

You can still edit segments of captions on the old layout - just tap 'Captions' in the bottom toolbar. We'd love to hear more of your feedback and ideas! If you need any further support, or would like to share more - please reach out to us directly at reviews@captions.ai - thanks again 😊

EDIT: I’m just... redoing my review now.
This app does not work for me. I’ve SEEN that it works for others, but for me it didn’t. I’ve had clips where it didn’t pick up my voice at all (and there was NO OPTION to add captions to that clip manually), I’ve had times where it completely switches captions from one clip to another, and I’ve had a clip straight up corrupt and not play (the captions for that clip was still there, but no other remnant of it was. I couldn’t play it, and it simply flickered the first frame of my next clip.) I thought it wasn’t picking up some of my words because I talk fast, which is fine. But the fact that I can’t add captions, even statically to one clip, is beyond me. I can’t rectify this apps errors. I ended up not using the videos I made with this app because I had so many problems with it. If it picks up your words well, you likely will have no problem with this app. There were few inaccuracies in the words it DID pick up, it just didn’t pick up most of my words. Frustrated and hopeful that you guys can figure this out, because I love this app idea and just wish it worked for me. Definitely willing to come back and try again once you think you’ve fixed the problem.

Thanks for the feedback - that's definitely not expected! Could you send us an email at hello@getcaptions.app and share your original video with us? We'll take a look into this and see what is happening for you.
