SlideShow Maker Photo to Video 4+

Wow!

I don’t leave reviews often, especially when the app pops it up. But let me say!!! I’m someone who judges apps on a few things. 1) is it easy to use? I often download apps that say they’re easy to use and then have a bunch of extras tucked in, which clutters the app and makes it hard to use. I can say easily that this app markets itself as easy to use and it’s, in fact, easy to use. I didn’t even have to google how to use it LOL (I’m 23, sometimes these apps really are extra). 2) is it aesthetically pleasing? Apps that have pop ups every few seconds, that are too plain or overbearing, etc. are what I come across a lot. I thought slideshow was going to be tacky at first, but it’s beautifully designed! 3) is it worth it? Apps that cost money make me hesitant, especially when it’s a free app that makes you pay once you’ve downloaded and make an account - normally I would swipe out and delete the app. But I was like “2.99 really isn’t that bad! And it’s a free trial, I can always cancel if I don’t like it” - but I’m thoroughly enjoying it! Thank you, this app made my life so much easier!

Do not waste your money on this WEEKLY subscription

It took me over 30-40 tries to create this video. First, 3-4 hours of editing trying to figure out which pictures and/or videos weren’t able to sync up since it wouldn’t let me create a video no matter what combination of media I tried. Then I tried to add music from another app on the video, transferring the song to several apps before I had to just buy it on iTunes. I started making this video almost two weeks ago, got so frustrated I had to keep going back and forth trying and trying to figure out the source of all of these problems. So, I finally got a baseline of a video I could edit and finally got the song I wanted on the video. After that, I tried to use one of the transitions offered on the app between medias. Every. Single. Time. I used a transition, it not only wouldn’t load but also crashed the app so everything froze. Halfway through this process there was an update to “fix bugs” but alas nothing worked any better than before. After 20-30 tries of adding a transition and finally just failing I completely gave up and saved my mediocre video that ended up costing me $6.50, having this app a little over a week for something I should have been able to make for free. 0/10 recommend.

Not sure about this app....

I downloaded this app, and when opening the app, a person is presented a screen wanting you to choose a free trial or pay for a subscription.....in very small print it states that after the “free trial period” you will begin to be charged a subscription fee. It immediately made me feel uneasy, because I did not want to pay for a subscription...I deleted the app before even trying it!!
May I suggest that you CLEARLY describe this as a “Trial” before people download it... I was totally taken off guard when I opened the app and then had to make a decision....I was expecting and looking forward to a fun, creative experience, and maybe, just maybe, this app could have been the experience I was looking for, but I never got to try it...I am sure that lots of people have that uneasy feeling when presented with that screen that makes you “commit” to pay...I look for no hassle, easy flowing apps when I download something.
