IMovie for Negative User Reviews

✓ Hate it badlyOk here’s the thing I’ve been making some movies and trailers the thing is now when I create a trailer it doesn’t work when I press done.I wanna be a youtuberVersion: 2.3.2

✓ Good app just a few adjustmentsIMovie is great for movie trailers and is very easy to make for beginners, but there are some issues like bugs when you try to attach something on the screen again and it lags a lot, so you have to either wait or turn it off and come back on, which causes a lot of issues in storage and stuff. And when I try to delete lots of old projects, it doesn’t have a “select all” or “edit projects” to delete them all at once, which would save time. Also I was wondering if the text transition can last a bit longer, because the update helps to freeze it, but sometimes it takes a while. But apart from that, it’s good for adding clips, cropping footage, adding audios and is easy to make the “aesthetic” edits. Thank you 🙏.CatLoverxxooVersion: 2.3.2

✓ It can’t even crop a video.This app is horrible. And I mean HORRIBLE. I used to use it to crop videos from the photos app on iphone but one day the option to do that disappeared from the photos app. So i went into the imovie app itself. Trying to crop the video itself was a pain. Trying to crop off just a few seconds took minutes because of lag. Once i was finally able to crop my video (i only needed to crop off around a minute) the change didn’t even save! Well it did. But it wouldn’t let me download or upload my edit at all! It would SHOW me the edit i made when i went to look at the video but when i downloaded the video it just gave me the original uncropped video. So i eventually found a strange work around where it would let me download my cropped video ONLY if i cropped it while selecting it as the video i want to edit. But get this. When i finally downloaded my cropped video it was completely horrendous! There were glitches EVERYWHERE. I swear to god looking at the video for too long would cause a seizure. The screen was constantly shaking and playing between the last few frames and the next making it a completely disoriented mess. Theres no way my file was corrupted because i was literally just trying to crop a screen recording. This app is horrible. Use something else..NicndhsVersion: 2.3.3

✓ It’s good but CapCut is better…Ok it is good but when I am editing it would not let me see the whole photo and when I go to see my old edits or clips that I love and worked so hard on it said that I needed to download my videos that where in my edit/clip like what? Why do you think I deleted them I deleted them so I can have more storage like ummmmm that’s dum and now my beautiful edits are gone! 💔😭😭😭😭the reason CapCuts better is it’s better quality cool realistic effects and it saves your edits even though you delete you photo/video in your photo library so I definitely recommend it and plus it’s free! 😁.🐍🦖🥝🥑🦎🥒Version: 2.3.2

✓ Simple but can use some workThis is probably the simplest editing software on the iOS store and can be used to make pretty extraordinary clips. However, I have had issues where it would crash or audio will be a pain to move around. It can be a real hassle sometimes. Also, you are very restricted to what you can and cannot edit, such as; You can’t move text freely, can’t add animations to text, you have a limit on how short you can cut clips, key framing is a joke and so many more things. So if you are just using it for a bit, I would recommend it. But if you are looking for a long term program to edit lots of videos and want to put effort into them, avoid this app..Hschmidty_Version: 2.2.9

✓ CrashSo I’m making a video on my iPad Air 2 for me and my friends using iMovie, and it keeps crashing!! Like as soon as I open the app, it’s crashes! I used to really like this app, but now it’s just annoying. I also feel like it would be better if you could place text where you want it, or have multiple videos (like a face cam and a screen recording) at the same time. Overall, disappointed by iMovie. Plz fix the crashing bug like seriously please!!!.Hi_im_not_saying_my_nameVersion: 2.2.4

✓ Won’t allow me to select clipWith the new update you guys have a bug or something going on. I been using this app for over a year now to edit my videos but with this new update I struggle to select a clip to create. It won’t allow me to select it. I have to repeatedly restart the app to fix this, sometimes even restart my phone. I’ve even tried uninstalling the app and reinstalling it, done that twice so far. Still same issue. This is the worst issue I’ve ran across but there is more. Please fix this issue! This app I would be a five star for me but I can’t give it that with this issue that has been ongoing for about two months now or so. Usually it has a select clip option and highlights blue when it selects the clip But now it highlights a gold looking color when you tap the clip you want and it don’t give the option to select and create movie clip. This is so frustrating I have no idea what you guys did in this new update but this was never a issue until about two months ago. How can I create my movie clips if it’s not giving me the option to select and create the movie? I found the best way past this is tapping the select all option in which will select all videos in that column which can be up to 3 to 5 different recent videos, so I’ve been having to do that then go back through when it creates it into the editing table and delete the clips I did not want. Wow! Can you see how frustrating and time consuming this bug can be!? Very frustrating! Please fix it!.Dreamscape82Version: 2.3.2

✓ GarbageThis app could be soooo much better. 1) It crops my videos when I upload them without me knowing until the upload is finished. You have to crop the original and guess what is ideal for the app in order to not have important parts cut out. This is annoying when it already takes so long for the app to upload some of the content. 2) It takes forever to upload videos and unable to retrieve larger files above 10min from what I observe. For an iPhone app, these videos should be available off top or some of the features in camera mode should be available (like speeding up the video) in order to make viewing it in iMovie easier. 3) downloads from iCloud take FOREVER… so don’t delete a video from your phone in the process of editing a project or it will frustrate you greatly. 4) SLLLLOOOOWWWW…. Oh my goodness!!!! 5) Always says there’s not enough memory on phone… even though there is. Just fix this already… I’m over it. This is why I have issue with iPhone. I was good until I was reminded of these headaches dealing with creating/editing small videos. These apps should integrate better with the the phone or there is just no point in having them on the phone. Maybe iPhone overall is just slow. I’m starting to rethink this Apple thing. I have a 12 Pro and I’m sure the same issues exist on the 13..MonaLesa54Version: 2.3.3

✓ Awesome APPNot a Apple fan by any means but I can sure appreciate quality and this apps the bomb. So easy to use I made video in less than a min well the app does it for you . To use it is so simple a first timer won’t struggle too long to learn how to use this app thanks apple for making a useful and easy to use app that takes the stress out of working and adding fun into it. Maybe some app developers can learn from this just saying iMovie is simplicity at its best why complicate things iMovie doesn’t ..Jk54jkVersion: 2.2.9

✓ Good for a freebieIt’s capable of producing good movies, not without frustration though. A little attention to detail and this would be great. Very hard to swap formats is the worst feature. Frustrating to be precise with audio volume using touch, in fact downright through in the bin… Takes a while to figure out some of the finer editing tricks, not well explained in app..Travellers-explorersVersion: 3.0.2

✓ MehYou know, I tried the thing where you can put a clip on top of the clip so that the screen splits in half and each side has different clips. I showed on the video so I decided to do it. Apparently, it doesn’t work idk how to do it. Maybe you can update it so that it’s easier to do? Cuz I am really struggling. From a confused user. <3.ClickyDPVersion: 2.2.4

✓ TRAILER MAKER IS SO FRUSTRATINGThis app is pretty good and has a decent movie maker, but it has some issues. I’m not getting an crashes but it does need more features. I think this app would be a lot better if it had some more trailer making options. You should have an option to make videos in the trailer maker have sound instead of just music. Also the music and backdrops and effects should be editable. It’s stupid that you can’t edit it. Also more genres would be funnier. It’s really difficult to get the right feel for the movie. And the thing I want the absolute most? I want the videos I film IN THE APP to stop going TO MY CAMERA. I’m a neat freak about my phone storage and I can’t film one thing without my storage getting all filled up with stupid mini shots and it’s SO LAME. It made me really mad especially because I always have to delete them so they don’t hog my storage! If these problems were fixed it would be totally perfect but it’s not which made me so sad because I can’t find any other apps with a decent trailer maker. Also one more thing the teen trailer maker is so hard to work with because of the random images in the backdrop not matching the text. SO ANNOYING! 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡.GurlwhogivesVersion: 2.2.8

✓ PLEASE REPLY OR FIX THIS!!!Hey please respond to this, anyway, iMovie keeps on glitching and annoying me!!! Like, sometimes when I click on a clip that I want to edit, it will go straight back to the start of the whole project and if I try again, it does the same thing!!! And I hate how if you delete the original clips in the project off camera roll, it doesn’t let you see it in iMovie! I do not know if this happens with every editing app, but please try your best to fix this. There are many more glitches it does and those glitches have made me hate the app. Overall, I give it a two-star rating, two stars off for the glitches, and one star off for being a simple but cheap and crappy editor. Sorry if I am being too harsh, but I am just SOOO ANNOYED!!!.EbonyMayaVersion: 2.2.6

✓ Complete and utter garbageI would say that I have used Imovie for school projects a minimun of 6 times. And with all the experience I with Imovie, I have come to the conclusion that if you want to spend three hours making a 5 minute video, this is the right app for you. I have made a list of A FEW the problems that occur when making any form of video from Imovie - You cant fully zoom out of a picture when adding it to the video. Which means Imovie has a set screensize when adding a video or picture, it will cut off the top and sides of your picture to adjust it to the pre-set video size. There is no way to change this. - You cannot cut parts out of a video. Weither there was an unnecessary part in your video or you messed up part of the audio, there is no way to cut specific parts out of the middle. You have to trim videos from the edges or redo what ever you added (Audio or visual). - The effects are very limited. There is no way to have certain parts of the video zoom in or out, as i said before it is one set screensize. The fonts and special effects are rather poor and there isnt much to choose from. - Incredibly glitchy. I had audios delete themselves and pictures refuse to upload, which really only makes your experince with the app 1000% more frustrating than it already is. This isnt everything but this is certainly some of the problems that i run into most frequently. PLEASE BY GOD STAY AWAY FROM IMOVIE. Find a different editing app and save yourself the tears of rage from having to use Imovie..AlphiradoVersion: 2.3.2

✓ RacistThe green screen feature doesn’t work on darker skin tones.MackenskskeneVersion: 2.3.3

✓ Overall being ruined by many problems.I’ve used this app for so long. Let’s face it, maybe a few years or 1? It was easy and compressed to used as you could add your own music to Movies at the time, and more. But whatever update it was, it ruined the app. A few days ago I was trying to edit a video I made, and when I recorded my voice over it? Everything had a stroke. My voice was delayed, the video ended too early, my voice cutoff the edge, the cuts didn’t match with the video. I thought, maybe that was a glitch, won’t happen today. So I go to edit a minecraft video, and take a guess what happens. Y’know, I really liked this app and still do a bit, but whatever update that made that.. it ruined it. So I deleted the app out of anger. Fix this or i’ll just give up on iMovie entirely. I had so much work put into it, and right as I get ready to add my voiceover, IT GLITCHES FOR THE 2ND FRICKING TIME. 3 stars, would give it 5 but the glitch ruined it. Fix. This. Also, if this helps, i’m on an iPad Pro. I don’t know much more, just I know i’m on an iPad Pro..SStidfoleVersion: 2.2.9

✓ Um...-Please add zooming of videos EX: I do a kill so it zoom. -we can't add music of sound could and Ivideo :V -needs effects of YouTube like the "headshot" or the "nooooo god please no no noooooo" or MLG Thanks! Hope you read it!.LOLIPOPPOPOPOOPOPOPOVersion: 2.2.4

✓ This app sucksI do not recommend this app. If there were zero star option I would choose it. I was making a iMovie and it told me I couldn’t make one because I was out of storage, fine. But then I deleted some stuff to clear room and it let me in, also fine. The thing that made me mad was that when you add a photo or video to the app you can’t delete it from your camera. 😡😡😡 This happens to me and I deleted stuff like videos that were in the movie so I could make more. Such trash. I couldn’t get them back.GdiebydvdsjVersion: 2.2.7

✓ Please avoid this app.The app is fun and you can do pretty much anything you want with it, but if you want to make something with actual time and effort put into it, please for your own sake avoid this app. I made a series of six movies, and it took almost half a year to film and edit all of them. I had to restart two of the movies because they corrupted. I had to re-edit three movies because the audio was extremely delayed. And the app would crash often while I was editing. It has been a year since I made those six movies and I decided that I wanted to watch them again only to find out that multiple of the movies have had all of their clips rearranged. I thought it was silly how I used to get watery eyes whenever a big glitch happened, but I don’t blame myself. This app is extremely stressful to work with and a complete waste of time. Please avoid..Pigeon 13Version: 2.3.2

✓ My reviewSo I installed the app on my IPhone 6s and I pressed the app to open it but for some reason it said loading app. So then I waited for it to load and then finally it loaded. So then I pressed it again and it did the same thing. It loaded again so I tried this 3 times and it didn’t work so I think you need to fix this problem so I can be able to open iMovie I hope you understand my problem.Lucys reveiwVersion: 2.2.9

✓ Barely good enoughNow, I’ve never used an actual editing program, like the fancy ones on the computer, but I have seen what they can do. And I can safely say that after using Imovie for many grueling hours trying to edit stuff just for fun, it wasn’t fun at all, it was slow and frustrating. The text feature is weird, why not just make it so you can stretch the text across multiple frames instead of just each individual frame. And more filters would be nice, I wanna feel like I’m editing a video not a picture. If I wanted to do that I’d just open my gallery. Also, I want to be able to overlay gifs on top of a picture, ex: I wanted to overlay a gif onto one of my frames, and it kind of worked, but not in the way I was hoping. Because like I said with the text, I wasn’t able to even stretch it across all my frames, I could only add the gif to each individual frame which was super disappointing. I understand Imovie isn’t some grand editing software, but I primarily do most of my work on my Ipad, and I can’t pay for a good editing software just yet. So I’m just kinda stuck with what I can get, and honestly, I’m gonna try looking for other alternatives. -Not angry, just disappointed..KazuidaeVersion: 2.3.2

✓ Fix this!Hello there my name is James I think this app is pretty great but there is a couple things I would like you to fix 1. When I transport files from OneDrive to iMovie it says ‘scanning complete iMovie will not accept this file’ 2. It’s very glitchy to edit with when I finally figured out how to take files from onedrive to iMovie I had to delete the app and reinstall it to work but when I did iMovie glitched and lagged kicked me out and when I finally got in I tried transferring my movie to my photos/videos the transportation would not work it would just be stuck were it’s stuck I guess 3. iMovie has made my iPad a very glitchy platform please make this app glitch free 4. When I downloaded a file onto iMovie it wouldn’t play unless I go back and download it again but when I downloaded the file I had about 1 min till it wouldn’t work again and say download again Please fix these things because I love this app and I really want to keep it but I can’t keep it if it always does these things Please fix this PLEASEEEEEE!!! 🥺🥺🥺.JPireceWVersion: 2.2.8

✓ What’s apple thinking?Can’t edit videos vertically.HassanAudiVersion: 3.0.1

✓ I think It’s brokenIt won’t let me put videos into the movie maker setting only pictures the only way I can put videos in it is to individually add them to it which takes way to long. I used to like this app but this makes me angry and annoyed fix this now..Survivor StudiosVersion: 3.0.2

✓ 👿👿👿🤬🤬🤬😡I loved this app but now it says you need an iOS 14!! Are fricking kidding me!??!!.Lemonade45Version: 2.3

✓ Won’t let me watch the videos I made!If your gonna use the app once to make one video then never watch it again, it’s great! Go for it! Simple app. BUT if you actually care about the videos you made and want well edited videos then no. Although they have advanced a little, the editing is very minimal. I eventually switched to other apps with more options. But from time to time I’d still like to go back and watch the videos, but it’s always like “Downloadng videos. Some of the videos are being downloaded from iCloud” like what 😭⁉️ it almost never lets me watch any if the videos, and it only works (sometimes) when I click edit, but then it erases the date and re-writes it to the day it is today! And sometimes I go to my camera roll and try to find all the videos I put into it and make sure there downloaded, so then I can see my work, but it still doesn’t work!! I put lots of effort into my videos and love to see my old work, but I can’t! Therefore I would recommend something else, where it’ll actually let you watch you videos. Thank You, and I will change my review if this bug that’s been in the app forever is fixed..🌸✨Cookie✨🌸Version: 3.0

✓ IMovie is corrupted!! Do not download!!First when I was creating a storyboard quiz, more than 5 mins It crashed multiple times every 1 min!! Plz fix! Second I downloaded iMovie on Mac for a bigger and better experience than iPad (which did not happen!). I started experimenting because it was different from iPad, then I wanted to shut down the Mac because I wanted to play games, but it didn’t allow me shut down because it said something about iMovie finishing something. I tried multiple times to shut it down except it didn’t work. I had an idea to delete everything on iMovie and delete the actual app said it didn’t allow me because it said the same thing I wanted to finish something on the app. I tried shutting down over and over again until I had a great idea because it said the map could shut down 60 seconds so I let it shut down I didn’t touch anything and it worked never gonna open the app again!!!!.Jolly jonjon5Version: 3.0

✓ It’s sad, reallyFirst!!!! Let’s start with the pros. First, the quality is decent. It’s nice that you can make trailers and post them on facebook or whatever. When your making a movie you just record stuff from your camera and it turns into little clips when you insert it into iMovie. Cons. When you record a trailer or movie, it doesn’t let you delete stuff from your camera. First time I used it I made a trailer for a horror movie with my brother. I watched it and I was impressed. Since the clips of video were in my camera I deleted all of the little clips and figured that I could still watch my trailer. When I went to watch the the next day, a message appeared saying that there are missing films in my trailer and I can’t watch it. That was because I deleted the clips from my camera! That’s just plain stupid, because if you expect me to actually keep 10 minute videos on my iPhone along with over 20 little clips??? That’s the biggest waste of space ever! And don’t get me started on how much storage the app takes up itself! Unless you want all of your iCloud storage to be depleted in 3.5 seconds, I don’t recommend this app. 😡.SprinkleMaster001Version: 2.2.6

✓ AwfulNothing ever works right.Ketchup1018Version: 2.3.2

✓ Does everything right (except the things it doesn’t have)IMovie is a high quality movie maker for phones and iPads. It does all the simple stuff to perfection. It would be really nice to have a few more features that are common in many other software options. Somethings they could add are zooming effects in videos, multiple text layers and being able to speed up videos fast than just 2x. Overall very good app..Jfaye0182848198283502Version: 2.3.3

✓ Hard for gamers.....I love iMovie it’s a great app to edit your videos!,Although I record on my iPad for videos and I screen record with the new update apple has so I use my mic but when I start editing my videos the audio that I recording while I was playing a game just disappears which causes me to have to voice record it iMovie....this is kinda sad bcuz I have been using iMovie my whole life! And when you stated doing gaming I thought it would be a great way to edit but sadly it just doesn’t save my voice recordings I tried to fix it and put my volume to the top but it’s no use! So please try and fix this but anyways I really do love ya app!.Saimon05Version: 2.2.6

✓ I deleted the videos from my camera roll and they deleted on ImovieAt first it was really good, it was easy and fun to make, I made a bunch of nice fun videos with my family and we all loved them. then I went back to watch them (I had already permanently deleted the 50+ videos we used making 1) and the video footage deleted on imovie. now i’m not sure if I just don’t remember, but it didn’t even have a warning if I deleted those videos. now i’ll never get the videos I made back because I wanted to free up my data by deleting the videos. I mean come on, they took up so much room and we really loved those mini movies. Maybe don’t make it so that if we delete videos from our camera roll the entire movie gets deleted..Science vs magicVersion: 3.0

✓ Pretty goodHi I really like this app but there are two things I think need improvements so the first thing is that I like putting music into things that I animate and iMovie doesn’t let you do that and so I feel like it’s needed to be changed that you can put in your own music second of all I think that there are things about the files adding into most of the time it denies your file and then if it doesn’t very rarely it takes so long to load I don’t understand. Those are just my opinions but I think a lot of people will agree with me so please just taken mind those ideas and keep up the good work.Greta117Version: 2.2.9

✓ Edit in portrait modeIt’s 2022, when do you think you’ll let us edit in portrait mode ??.Nicolas de montrealVersion: 3.0

✓ APPLE READ THIS PLEASEI love the app so so much and I use it all the time, well atleast until my iPad decided to put it on iCloud because I was low on storage. So I went to get it back and it didn’t appear on the App Store, so I found it on safari instead and it took me here, It told me I need iOS 13.0 or later so I updated, ( I have iPad mini 2 ) and it only updated to 12.4.5 so i went back to settings to update again and it told me I was on the newest update 🤷🏼‍♀️. I told my dad who works in IT what happened and he told me that my iPad is too old! Last time apple did this I had to wait a long time to get iMovie back and I REALLY need it for school projects..The Department of EducationVersion: 2.2.8

✓ Unreliable!This is the most unreliable glitchy useless video editing app I’ve ever used! I just spent hours on a project and it the then this stupid app overlaps the audio and delays it a few seconds just enough so that it screws everything up. Not to mention it’s behind on so many features that plenty of other apps already have it’s absurd. It does this almost every single time I try editing a video. It’s ridiculous. Please fix this app for the love of God and all things good. Edit: I just spent an hour fixing all of the audio to my video and right after I got done fixing it, the audio glitches again and messed everything up.. I’m done with this app. It is so unreliable and seems to waste as much of my time as possible. I could've finished my online course on my computer with all the time I spent on iMovie but instead, it wasted that time and I didn’t get anything out of it since it glitched. You would think that a company as big as apple would at the very least have a RELIABLE app, but instead we have this stupid glitchy app with little to no useful features that would actually matter while editing videos. DO NOT USE THIS APP!.Jonyq107Version: 2.2.9

✓ Worth it.IOS 13.4 or later is a bit much to ask but it you have that I recommend getting this app. Would be five stars if I could get it on iOS 12.4. Plsssssss.DareadddweVersion: 2.2.9

✓ Lags badly when scrubbingUsing an iPad with iPadOS 15.1 the video scrubbing (using a video to quickly scroll backwards and forwards through a clip in the timeline) doesn’t work - but glitches, grabs, stutters. It makes it very hard to edit video. I’m hoping that updating to 15.2 will help. Please fix this, Apple. Before that, I very much enjoyed iMovie. It does most things you’d want to do to make home movies and it’s fairly intuitive. Recommended once they fix the problem!.Jon from AotearoaVersion: 2.3.3

✓ Great app but I don’t like a few things about it!It’s a great high quality app, but there’s only one thing that I don’t like about it; it’s only for Apple products. This is on my iPad but I can’t get it on my laptop because it’s not an Apple product it’s Toshiba. I also think it could have more transitions and let you use your whole picture, you can’t actually use the whole picture always. Other than that I love it. When you make a video and you delete the item from your photos it doesn’t come up in your video. Hope you understand what I said! Cause it’s really important. I always read the review of an app before I download it! BTW; it might be like that for me only!.Denn VidalVersion: 2.2.5

✓ Can’t Shorten a VideoAll I wanted to do was shorten a video by 10 seconds. After 5 minutes of trying gave up..CvvchchfufjgjgkvkgkvVersion: 2.3.2

✓ Good, but riskyThis app is good at what it does, but there needs to be able to save clips, or they need to at least be more clear. I lost multiple weeks of work because this app didn’t save my clips, and i would like to avoid this happening again. Please make saving clips possible.CccccccccccvcccccccccVersion: 2.2.6

✓ Handy but unreliableI’m writing this review immediately after iMovie for iOS has just corrupted my 5 minute timeline for the third time. I had been attempting to prove to a friend that they could leave their Mac at home and produce basic travel videos on their phone. This now seems to be a fantasy, purely due to a few crippling bugs. The good: - Performance is great, even when editing 4K60 files. - It has most of the elementary features you’d expect to produce a competent home movie. The bad - Touch targets are infuriating small on iPhone (even on the X), particularly for trimming clips. Apple’s own Human Interface Guidelines seem to have been sidestepped here. The unforgivable - Crashes frequently with a complex timeline (60 clips). - Periodically mangles the timeline. Clip trim points are altered, dissolve transitions fade to black first, clips drift out of sync with voice-overs or other synchronised clips. - When (not if) timeline corruption does occur, there is no recourse. There is no save (which is the iOS way) but that means there is no revert either. If your timeline is corrupted, your choices appear to be: throw your phone across the room, swear, cry or rebuild your timeline from scratch. iMovie for iOS is good for demos and short videos, but if you’re expecting to make something you’d show to someone outside your family, it’s not ready yet..Nickname is taken.......Version: 2.2.5

✓ Needs HUGE debuggingI am an amateur gaming editor and I have been using this to improve my skills. I have also created memes out of it and it is an absolute blast using this app. I always love using it to create something entertaining. However, there are a lot of bugs that need fixing. One for example, is videos that I recently added have a tendency to not show up when I go to edit them. I spent an hour trying to port a clip from my camera roll to iMovie, cycling through different methods and jumping through tons of hoops just to be able to create a quick montage for a client. A gaming edit that shouldn’t have taken more than an hour or so took three hours because when I went to grab more clips from my camera roll, the same thing happened. This really needs to be fixed. This problem alone is enough to steer me towards uninstalling and using another editor. Other than that bug, it is an amazing app. It is extremely user friendly and easy to learn and I think everyone should play with it to make something nice. Please address this issue! 🙏🏻.JackkiinnnweechanVersion: 2.2.9

✓ Potential wasted by bugsI wanted to throw together a quick video for a coworkers farewell, using some fun text effects, but as soon as I made a change, seemingly anywhere, the effect stops working and the text just appears for the whole duration, no animation or transition..Grey GoreyVersion: 2.3.2

✓ 👏iMovie 👏ReviewI’m not gonna lie, iMovie is way better on mac. Firstly, the mobile version is a huge waste of storage to have on a phone because every movie takes up like up to 1GB + any music which is like 4MB. Use the macOS version as macs have more storage. That iMovies me (🤣) on to my next reason. The comparison between the amount of features on the MacOS iMovie than the iOS iMovie is massive. On Mac, you can do things like green and blue screen editing, motion stability and so many more things. Overall, iOS iMovie is not great, as it lacks in features and it takes up too much storage. No one makes an Oscar award winning movie on their mobile phone. If you want to make cool videos for your social media account, use apple clips which is a great app for creating simple, impressive clips in minutes.

✓ Who needs missing videos/musicI was editing this video and when I went to upload it to YouTube it says that I was missing some videos and music so then I looked at my library and guess what? They were there so I tried again after refreshing the app for about 5 minutes and it says I have missing videos and music can u remove this already in one of the unfortunate victims of this. If this doesn’t get removed I’m deleting the app.UnsatisfiedIMovieUserVersion: 2.2.6

✓ If you make YouTube videos, do not get this get something betterI mean when you make a video and you’re trying to put a sound you have in photos you can’t put it! do not recommend for Youtubers.Guys your videos are amazingVersion: 3.0.1

✓ PortraitNeed a portrait mode not just landscape movie ! It’s the only thing holding this app is holding back..Serjeant_Version: 3.0.1

✓ 💖✨💅Gonna be generous on this one💖✨💅First, this game isn’t bad….it’s just there are a few problems that I get very annoyed about…… 👇 1. Why is there only a limited option to all the sound affects and music….like you can’t even choose the song you actually want….it’s only pieces of music without people singing….and then there our the sound affects, they aren’t bad but I suggest putting in lots more for YouTubers! 2. When you put your own photo onto one of the movies, it shakes a lot and then you can only see like about one part of the photo for like about 30 seconds….and that’s another problem… 3. Some of the updates in this game are really bad….Luke the trailer updates were really stupid….you could still make your own trailers but the video that helps you picture what it was like replaced the people acting to just animated boring, grey ones that you can’t even see their face! Then people get less of the idea of what you have to do which is really annoying! Apart from of these few things, I think the app is great to make lots of mini movies and videos! 💖✨💅.🙄💅💖✨Itz_Not_Thea🙄💅💖✨Version: 3.0.2

✓ Works as a video “arranger” but there’s no excuse.You are a billion dollar company wasting millions of dollars on unimportant stuff. You have no excuse for a crappy, half-baked program. I just made my first big project on iMovie and I hated the experience. The first major issue was the fact that when I tried to select an image to change the length, it sent me 2 minutes away to the beginning of the clip. And when I tried to scroll back to where I was, it deselected the image. I was furious. That meant I had to do precise things while zoomed all the way out. And even worse, when I accidentally held my finger near the right edge, it jumped all the way to the end. The next colossal error is the audio. You can never have two audio clips one after the other because they either overlap or they don’t touch. Also, the added audio shouldn’t be connected to the images. Like when I delete an image, I don’t also want to delete all the audio I carefully put in there. And when I move and image around, I don’t want the audio following it. And please add grid-snapping and customization. Just get some inspiration from GarageBand, Kdenlive, and Linux. AND ADD SOME MORE CAPABILITIES. Any other program can splice two videos together, which is currently all that your program can do well..Joswal23Version: 2.3.3

✓ Love but one thingI totally recommend this app to everyone I love every single thing about it accept that u can’t find real songs albums and artists let me explain ok so first when you go onto the small plus in the top right hand corner a little tab sort of thing comes down then you look at the bottom of the tab press on audio and then you look at all the things audio includes like artists, albums, playlists etc. then say you tap on artists and type up Katy Perry does it come up with all her songs... no it comes up with nothing unless I just put in a K and it comes up with sound effects and tracks that have the letter K in them so please make iMovie so I can add real songs into it. Other wise I love this app and suggest it to all I hope you take the time to read my review BYE 👋.🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬Version: 2.2.6

✓ AnnoyingIn the middle of my movie, the transition changes to none, and I can’t change it to dissolve! I’m really annoyed! Can you please change it? Because I cannot stand it! Also when I turn off ken burns, and I do the same for another pic, it doesn’t line up properly! It is SO Annoying! Other than those really bed things, the app is pretty ok..AlexKittyAndraVersion: 2.2.7

✓ Speedramps make it un exportableIphone 12 pro max 512gb and imovie gets hungup on the export until all speed ramps are edited back to normal speed. Other wise compared to a desktop editing software such as premiere, or even shotcut, imovie is just ok ..somewhat of a disappointment. Editing music imo should act like editing a video clip so I have ultimate control. It tries to control how music is edited in as if I don’t or can’t edit in certain parts of a song..maybe make the app controlling music or not, optional. Give me a toggle so I can edit music clips just how I want too. Your way ends the music seconds before the end of the clip making an awkward pause that I can’t control. Fade outs only on beginning and end of the entire video? Not great. It’s as if by default for someone who has never edited a video before and tries to hold your hand too much. The titles are all meh. I wish I didn’t have to design something in photoshop to bring in for a title because the title designing tools are non existent. For what it is It’s the best editing tool I have ever used on a phone for video but so crippled in ways Im seriously considering buying an app that can do everything I’ve been complaining here about Imovie not doing! Thanks..DavidhokVersion: 2.3.2

✓ Timeline Constantly StutteringSince updating to iOS 15, when scrolling through the video timeline it constantly stutters where the app won’t respond to any touch gestures for about 5 seconds, it will then work again but then stutter shortly after. It does this all the time making the app effectively useless. Doesn’t matter the size, resolution or length of the video, happens regardless and I’m using a 2021 iPad Pro M1 12.9” device. Have tried reinstalling app as well as complete reset of iPad but no change and this issue has been occurring for over 2 months now without Apple fixing the issue. Apple really need to get a grip on the quality and performance of their software as well as fixing bugs more proactively as their standards on the stability of apps and OS has dropped significantly over the past couple of years..SuperstarCapeVersion: 2.3.3

✓ Another rare and disappointing update from appleWell, I was almost excited to see another update on iMovie as they are so few and far between. Underwhelmed would be an overstatement. So you’ve added a few more titles and the ability to .......wait for it...change the text colour. Wow! Apple...you are such visionaries. I think people are starting to wake up to what an actual rip off Apple have become. You know, given how much you charge, you could at least make an effort to make a half decent movie making app. How about adding some better editing features. You are lagging behind everyone else. Go Pro’s splice keeps pumping out awesome updates on its free app. Videorama is another free app that’s simple but still better than iMovie. Your app is aimed at 5 year olds. Come in Apple....must try harder. Anyway, it’s simple to use for beginners but if you make lots of movies then you quickly realise how limiting it is. There’s far superior apps out there..JumpNeoVersion: 2.3

✓ Good but one problemWhile iMovie is a very detailed app and is amazing quality for a free game, I have one minor problem. This is not something you should be concerned about i just wanted to say it. Although you get iMovie after setting up you iPhone, I chose to delete it and just recently wanted to re- install it. I clicked the download button and everything was fine until I waited about 5 minutes and thought that it must be finished however it wasn’t even a quarter of the way done! I think that if you can improve this it would be a help it took me twenty minutes until I could finally go onto the app. Again, no major concerns, I just wanted to let you know because I have a feeling it’s not meant to take that long. Thanks for your time, Charlotte.HorseGirl443Version: 2.2.6

✓ StupidIt only let me use images I own so thanks a lot, I cannot make a YT video unless I take screenshots. This was REALLY a bad app. And when I finally got my project done, it was THREE DAYS AFTER THE DUE DATE AND I LET IT LOAD FOR SO LONG..A_verylousynicknameVersion: 2.3.2

✓ It’s good but needs improvingDon’t get me wrong this is a good app! It just needs improving fast! for starters the filters transitions and everything about it is very limited... and it suddenly freezes halfway through using it. It’s so annoying because you can’t press anything and your are middle of doing a project! What makes it worse is that I have screen time very limited on my phone. That means if I waste that much time then I lose all my screen time for nothing! I just want to make and intra of dancers and yet it won’t let me like why!Okay so now will get onto the good stuff It is really good app... but if you update it will be better so please update it and make it a better app! I hope you read my review and wishing you all to stay safe on lockdown!.Tinymusicaltheatrelover🎭🎭🎭Version: 2.2.10

✓ AwfulI can’t make a movie that’s not bouncing all over the screen, when using multiple photos it automatically adds the burns effect, yes you can turn it off but have to for every single clip one at a time, after that the clips are not aligned with each other, so frustrating it’s a joke, I thought I’d give it a look but that’s all, no thanks.DakejVersion: 3.0

✓ Garbage editing software…It is a simple editing software BUT THERE IS SOME PROBLEMS. One, I was trying to insert a .png without a background as a picture in picture. I tried to place the .png while on the frame of another picture in picture. The .png ended up getting inserted in and didn’t even show up in the iMovie I was making. I click on the picture in picture to see it is short as flip, and invisible as mentioned earlier in this review. This also happened when I am currently on a frame that has a picture in picture. Two, I tried to insert a video clip in at the end of a iMovie and the clip image suddenly disappeared from “Today” and got inserted in at the very beginning of my iMovie instead of at the end where I wanted the clip to be. Three, it wouldn’t open up a iMovie I wanted to edit. I had been working on 2 videos for nearly 4 videos. One being 5 and a half minutes and the other being 70+ minutes. No matter how many times I clicked on “edit” for the 5 and a half minute video, it wouldn’t open up the movie. When it did open up the movie, I couldn’t even do anything with it. This problem is extremely frustrating. I want to use a different editing software that will actually allow me to edit my videos. This “editing software” called iMovie continues to prove to be a disappointment coming from Apple the more I use it..Josephine6383638353Version: 3.0.1

✓ Good app but…I really like this app but there are some glitches when I edit a video. When I use fade for the sounds it uses the line that shows the film being projected on the top left screen to edit the fading and every time it messes my video and I can’t complete this. Please can you fix that? By the way I can’t use any question mark “?” Symbol for other purposes. And one more thing is that I screen record with the mic and when I check the video on iMovie my voice doesn’t show up so I have to re record my voice in the iMovie mic. So please fix all of them..Rizky baskoroVersion: 2.3.2

✓ Garbage appIt won’t let me enter so I deleted it and couldn’t re download it 😡.Gokats818Version: 2.2.8

✓ Need old version backRecently (few days ago) updated version has more than old version. In old one there were few features missing as compared to other movie makers apps. But I still loved and made most of videos on it. But this updated version I hate it. There is no way you can keep text all the time on screen. In last one in text option “standard” you can write in one row, two rows or three and will remain there all the time. Now text comes & goes quickly before anyone can read it. Another thing is that you have press edit every time you need to add next, in previous one there was no need to press edit. One more thing is that when you add text video go to start of that clip or even when you want to choose other option after text. Wasting more time, irritates more and most the option of text all the time on screen is missing. Please tell me how can I go back on previous version..Vinod2001pkVersion: 2.3

✓ Audio Problems.I have come to conclude that there is an audio problem in iMovie. Since the update there has been now a new feature called “ The Screen Recorder. “ this is incredibly helpful and I am glad they have added this, –but. When importing a recorded video using Screen recorder into iMovie my audio magically disappears! Thus I search in YouTube how to fix this problem. I was given a result using Splice. Splice is another editing app just like iMovie. I was instructed to import my video there then export it to my photo library. After that I import it into iMovie then the audio bug is fixed. BUT— there’s a catch. Splice has this bug where your screen has the black lines on the sides, when imported to iMovie makes the screen incredibly small. I am extremely upset that there is no way to fix both of these bugs for both apps! Please please please! Fix this in the next update. I look forward for your response..834215Version: 2.2.5

✓ MadI’m giving this a one star rating just because whenever I try to put green screen stuff in there it won’t let me turn it so it’s spacing the right direction, so what’s the point of having a green screen setting in there if when you put the green screen in there it’s not gonna be facing the right direction and there’s no way you can fix it. Number two I personally just think it’s crazy how you can place a sound in an area but once you place it, it goes all the way back to the beginning of your entire video like if you place a theme in one specific spot that is in the middle once you place it take to all the way back to the beginning and then, when you try to fix it, it won’t even let you try to bring it back to that spot that there’s no clipping or no editing. You could do to get it to be in that spot that you want to be I would have to play throughout the entire video. Which is annoying. Number three I don’t like how I can’t add more fun, editing, stuff, editing, stuff that a bunch of the other more famous Youtubers have. I feel like everything is just kind of simple and there’s not a whole lot of fun editing things you can do just mainly clipping and putting videos together I want more than that so.Kayla kkey111Version: 3.0.2

✓ Good for short simple stuff, bad for bigger things.I’ve been using this app for two years and over those years I’ve slowly begun to make bigger and better projects, unfortunately iMovie isn’t well-built for said projects. Whenever I do something that’s longer and more edited, glitches, bugs and more will be encountered, over and over and over again, some that move around clips and audio-stuff, some that can delete / cut clips within and even some that simply crash and send me to my homepage and all that I have listed have been going on for long. iMovie needs some serious stability fixes, though new features would be nice, if I could just simply make a single well-put-together video without myself wanting to have a fight, resulting in me throwing my phone across the room and onto the pillow of my bed, that would be very, very much appreciated. That being said, if you want to make low-effort 1 minute long content, download this app, you’ll probably love it, but if you’re like me who wants to make something with effort put into it, then good luck to you soldier, I hope the bug-glitch army doesn’t ruin your work like it did with mine..Zombie_Basher10Version: 2.2.8

✓ IMovie: My ReviewI am currently working on a 3 hour long short film, in hopes to spark and fulfill my career in the film studio. In my most respectful opinion the cons of this professional editing software outweigh the positives. In its current state, this technological applications export feature has malfunctioned leaving me in a state of shock. Please fix your application, so the other users that utilize iMovie would not have to suffer as I did. - Babineaux, Huell.Huell B.Version: 3.0.1

✓ Update: uploaded 4K at 60fps... at last.I have an iPad 6th generation, and the description of this app says I should be able to export at 60 FPS for 4K video. I’ve had immense difficulty uploading 4K video at 60 FPS previously, but it just worked for me. The video was extremely short, being less than three (3) minutes in length, but it did finally work. Last week (Nov 20, 2020), I couldn’t even upload at 30 FPS if I tried to export the project as a 4K video, which was extremely irritating. That was on the shorter end of a normal-length video for me, being only 6 minutes and 40 seconds. Usually my videos are at least 7-8 minutes, as I try to aim for 10 minute videos. I would like to aim for longer videos, as my 25 minute video really took off for how small my channel is, but I’m not sure if I would be able to export that in 4K, and even if I could, I’m not sure if it would have to be 30 FPS, or if I could export it in 60 FPS. For reference, i film exclusively in 4K 60 FPS, so all of my videos are high quality. That’s why I find it immensely irritating to have this limitation in the editing software when the description of the app says I can export in 4K 60 FPS and I have the 6th generation iPad, so I should be able to, yet it’s given me so much trouble when I try to. Hence the 2-star review. At least it’s gained one star..SnazzDabVersion: 2.3.1

✓ Such garbageI'd love to know what fool thought it was a good idea to only allow you to undo something once while editing. "People only need to undo something once - when they hit undo a second time ask them if they want to restart the WHOLE video!!" Yeah genius..BelieberkaitlinVersion: 2.2.4

✓ Good app but I’d like a changeSo i use this app all the time to edit my videos and its great! I would however like a change to that fact how when you add an audio clip, it is imported as the background instead of the foreground. I find this quite annoying because I have to scroll all the way to the beginning and set it to foreground and then bring it back to where I was. This takes a while because my videos are usually 15-30 minutes long. Which brings me to my next point. I’d like it if when you import an audio clip, it doesn’t go right to the beginning. Instead it gets put where you currently are in the video, if that makes sense. Again, this app is great but I’d like it if this was changed..ThegamingcreeperokVersion: 2.3.2

✓ Great, but have some problemsIn my opinion, this app is quite problematic but quite useful as well. It has lot of great sound effects and songs etc. This wasn’t going to be the BEST video editor after all with all of these problems. Firstly, when you try to send the finished video to Overdrive, it does not work. Then, you struggled to deal with it. So it wasn’t really helpful. Secondly, the storage. I had this experience for a long time. When your storage is full, it pops up an note about that. You’ll have to go over your storage and clear out some. What makes it bad is that you have to wait for a few days. It was very annoying because when you come to the app to check what’s going on. It just pops up the same note. The progress was way too long. Finally, the titles. Other people likes to customise their titles, but you can’t. The good thing is, that you can control how it’s going to pop up. There wasn’t enough! Maybe for you, it might not be that bad. I would really hope to see some improvements here. I will only recommend you to use this app for a try because it won’t work out the best. If you want to edit some videos go look for other ones, such as: InShot, PicsArt and iCollage. Thanks for looking at my review..Meidy111Version: 2.2.9

✓ Why can’t I just get a good video editing app?Don’t get me wrong IMovie is good enough with trailers and movies too but it really annoys me sometimes. For example, I can’t even move a piece of audio the video is longer than the audio so surely it would be able to move? But no. Also, it glitches when you have more than 9 recordings. 9 recordings is the max (I had to find out the hard way) but it let me record more they just didn’t save. Also, when I recorded more recordings it messed up my previous ones so I had timed videos and audio so it was perfect and one extra recording ruins all my hard work. I mean, its not an expensive app but I think the quality should be better. Something else is that when you record videos for a movie or trailer and delete them from your camera roll, you can’t access that movie or trailer anymore! This is just a bit annoying. Please fix these issues and please recommend another video editing app to use that will actually work. Thanks.Silky 259Version: 2.2.6

✓ After new update of iPad os it become so jerky to edit videosAfter update of iPadOS it becomes very jerky to edit, When I scroll my project it’s too choppy like 10 fps and app is hanged for few seconds every time I scroll.Im MrAbroVersion: 2.3.3

✓ It’s OKAY…This app is quite good for making videos such as travelling videos etc…There are a few little … annoying things that really get to me. First of all, it’s a shame because I found out how to put on my own music but u would have to screen record it, save it to photos and then put it on the iMovie I was making. But in that iMovie , if I had deleted any of the photos, videos or even screen-recordings, I wouldn’t of been able to see the iMovie. Second, the videos and photos can’t be cropped to a smaller size then about 1cm which is a shame for those who want to “spice up their iMovie and make it look like a sort of edit”. But it is good for storing and filing videos..Delilah#meVersion: 2.3.2

✓ Great With a Few ProblemsI really like this app. It’s fun and easy to use. I have made some really cool videos on here. I have encountered a few problems though.... First of all if you use videos in iMovie, then delete them in your apple photos, you won’t be able to view them in iMovie again. Second of all there have been glitches while using the app. And last has been my biggest problem; For a while I stopped using the app, and when I tried to reinstall it, it wouldn’t let me. I was gutted becuase this was a great place for me to edit my videos. Then I came to the App Store to see if I could, and it told me that I could only have the old version, not the new version because I don’t have the right software. It’s quite annoying that it requires iOS 14 or later because that stops people with less advanced people from editing videos.(Me) I don’t mind using the old version, but would much rather the new one. I’m about to purchase an IPhone though so will be able to use the updated version. I really thouroughly love the though app and would recommend in future. : ).L O L L I E P O P : DVersion: 2.3.2

✓ Come on!!!When I try and move a picture to another place it won’t let me so that means I have to start the trailer I was doing again which was annoying cause I was nearly at the end . I got so frustrated and I didn’t know what to do so I had to take my anger out on this review. What makes it even worse is that it is the first one I did on this device because I had only just downloaded the app three hours ago so that was why I got so angry . If it wasn’t for that I would of given it five stars. Oh and another thing: on trailers make sure in your next update put in more backgrounds for when it says the company that it is done by I hope you take this into consider if you do you should make more apps like this one because it is pretty cool😎.DjsosbkdbdkdbdVersion: 2.2.4

✓ Alright app... but could be betterIt’s not a bad app, and gets the job done, but it has some drawbacks. I’ve use it as an artist, to speed up time-lapse videos to post to social media. I can only speed up X2 which is frustrating, since I have to save the new video, import it, speed, save and repeat until I get to my preferred length (for social media formats). If I want to add music... that’s a whole new problem. I often crop and add just short clips of music, not a whole song, and I have to listen really carefully and scroll along, and try to clip it in the right place. Annoying, particularly if I don’t estimate the timing right and have to undo/clip again multiple times. And then I add my video into the “project”- if I added the video first, I wouldn’t be able to clip the music. So like I said, it gets the job done for what I need it to do, but there could be multiple improvements. Another issue is this app takes up like 600MB- just over half a GB of data on my phone. Not cool. Please reduce the space somehow- given how I what and how often I use the app, it’s not really a good amount of space to be taking up..UniqueweirdteenVersion: 2.3.2

✓ I need to get paidThis app takes up too much storage. I love the app but with its large use of storage I can’t keep it and videos I work on for long periods of time when I play them the screen goes COMPLETLY black. I always have to re-install this app to get some storage. It’s an amazing app otherwise, it’s very easy to use and it’s great to edit for videos... could you please add in more texts or custom texts pay me.Read this please12433Version: 2.2.4

✓ Too simple for an amateur, and it’s driving me mad.Okay, I know that iMovie is supposed to be simple but, why can’t I make it 4:3? Also, why can’t I move green screens? Double also, why can’t I remove the ugly bars from overlays when they aren’t 16:9? But wait, it’s worse! You can’t make your videos in true portrait mode! And, when I modify audio, at least when it’s been detached, it just refuses to play until I reimport the ENTIRE source video. Your app isn’t just flawed, it’s too simple for proper uses. You can keep your goal, but make the application more usable. Why did it take you so long to allow for a video in video mode and those other things. I’m getting sick of it. I’m an amateur and the limitations of iMovie are annoying me. So, please. Keep the app simple. But make it a bit more powerful..Michael-Mico091Version: 2.2.7

✓ Not as great as I rememberWhen I started using iMovie as an beginner’s tool a couple years back, it was very easy to use and understand. Every video I made came out exactly as I edited it, and I could do it for hours on end with no issues. Now, I have moved on to other softwares as I’ve improved, but I came back to this one to use as a base for my more simple clips and audios; plus I already knew how to use it and expected it to be just as easy as I remembered. But, coming back, I notice how it keeps crashing, whether it is a sudden black screen that forces me back to my home screen a second later, or even glitches within the app. For instance, I tried changing the volume of an audio by selecting it—and it split it where I had selected it?? It may sound like a small bug, but it gets very frustrating when it happens over and over again and I have to undo it. It was never like that before. Same issue with clips, sometimes it won’t even let me select one I want to crop or slow down, etc. It forces me to leave the project, the app itself, sometimes even to the point of turning my phone off just to get it running again—just to get it to crash again. I really hope you guys find this and fix even the small issues, iMovie was so brilliant before..JuststankylegandmoveonVersion: 2.2.9

✓ Don't use for anything more than light video editing.I've been a user of this app for years. And when it's working, it's a great and easy to use video editing software, and it can even do some pretty complex stuff once you really get to understand it. However, I have recently been suffering from a problem where, when I'm doing heavier editing on iMovie (multiple audio clips, lots of cuts etc.) everything will go out of sync, and ultimately, ruin the video. This has particularly been a major problem with a project I've been tasked with for media, as it's done this many times and ruined it. Please try to fix it if possible but, for now, I'd say avoid this if you want to do more than light editing, or using the very fun trailer feature..BhgtfedVersion: 2.2.4

✓ IT KEEPS GLITCHING!!!!The app keeps glitching out randomly! I spent 1 hr working on a video and it just deleted half of my videos and photos I put in it! The recordings don’t match with the video like they should and the undo button doesn’t work! My photos that I insert in just glitch and either turn black or they will become smaller. PLEASE FIX THIS!!!!.Fa lala lalaVersion: 2.2.6

✓ Please changeQuite annoyed because ive been trying and trying to re-install iMovie from cloud as suddenly it just uninstalled itself but every time I tried it’d get 3/4 of the way there and then not fully download. I come onto the AppStore and see that iMovie now requires iOS 13.0. Not impressed as I have an iPhone 6 that’s on iOS 12.4.2 and apparently it’s up to date. I can no longer use iMovie unless I get a newer phone. Really disappointed as I frequently use this app don’t know why you’ve changed the software it’s compatible with.Tayla.churchillVersion: 2.2.8

✓ The app is starting to crash ..This app is extremely great. It it so great for comedy videos and vlogs and more. This is the one and only app I use because it’s the best..but, it’s been crashing lately all sudden..while I’m working on my video, it’ll turn the screen black and won’t let me see the video at all. also when I’m trying to split the video it wouldn’t show and when I tap on the clip it will take me back to the clip before. However, when I put sound affects into my clips, when it glitches or crashes, it will place the sound affects further back and not where I want it to be. I love this app but it gets me upset because I end up deleting my hard work project that I put effort in because of the crashes and how everything gets all over the place and messes the video up. I also tried saving my project before it gets worse instead of just deleting it but it told me “fail to export”. Please fix these issues because I don’t like dealing with this situation that kind of gets me upset and just wastes my time and so as other people. Thanks for taking the time to read this. Thanks you..Aly_locaVersion: 2.2.6

I've been through three different phones, and it's a bummer because I can't find an app that is quite advanced as this one (is supposed to be). The worst thing about all of the glitches if I have to pick just one- is the audio problems. If I made a background clip MUTE, it should stay mute. Sometimes I will save a video to my phone and the entire audio will suddenly be in the background even though it wasn't there when I previewed it. Sometimes I get screechy noises on moments where I made a clip break. No matter what I do I can't seem to fix this or get it to save to my phone differently. It's really agitating seeing as how it's been years. Sigh. Please. This app has so much potential. (Edit) And now I’ll probably stop using it completely because suddenly I can’t use ANY music? What the *** is this?? I paid for this app and can’t use any music because it’s “protected”. I’m making this video for my own personal use. I should be able to use the music on my phone. This broke my heart. Thanks iMovie.BatwomayneVersion: 2.2.6

✓ I’m Frustrated. 🤬Omg I’ve been trying for hours to try and work out the basics! Googling and stuff and it’s soo complicated. I can’t figure out how to speed it up more than 2 seconds 😡. I am making Gachaverse videos and am trying to speed it up but I can’t find the speed button. I am on an iPhone 6s surely it’s not that different to a computer to work. Someone please help me I just reloaded it and am considering deleting it again. (Edit) ok I found the speed button But I can’t tap on it it’s all foggy??!?!?? I would also like to speed up the entire video but it’s tells me I can’t?!!?!? Omg I’m getting really angry please give me an answer and make it simpler for me I’ve read every artical on how to speed it up and NOTHING worked. So I would like some answers. Thanks for listening to my rant. Plz help me..I ❤️ prodigyVersion: 2.2.7

✓ TrashThis app is trash it deleted all my progress now I got to restart all over, Five hours of work for nothing.SpeehLessVersion: 2.2.6

✓ The most neglected Apple appThis app could be great if they’d fix the serious performance and UI problems it has. There are incredibly long periods where the app freezes, for example just after snipping a clip. When the app is busy processing something, it just freezes up and there’s no progress bar or any kind of message what it’s doing. Trying to move around and align clips, audio, and music tracks is very difficult - just good luck with it. You also CANNOT import cinematic clips with the edits retained from the photos app, and there’s no way to change the point of focus of a cinematic clip from within the imovie app. There’s lots more problems I don’t have time to go into. I’m trying to edit an 11 minute video right now and it’s crashed at least 20 times during the editing, takes 10 minutes to recover from each crash, and now it’s crashing when I try to export the movie too. Wasted I don’t know how much time on this thing. I’m using the latest iPhone 14 pro max. This is unacceptable..DylandesignVersion: 3.0.1

✓ I like using it for the movie/lyric video in the making but…It keeps on like glitching when I tried to pause it and play over and over again as the motion video background I use on this app kept on glitching since it is a problem I first time had an experience of the issue I faced and I am getting frustrated over this since I hate facing this problem and could you the iMovie company please fix this otherwise I will not use your app ever again 😫😠.Tianawilliams05Version: 3.0.2

✓ Not what I wanted.I got iMove because I wanted to make videos but with only using pictures, and I heard this was a good app. But whenever I but in pictures ken burns is ALWAYS ON! It’s annoying. I’ll turn it off, but then I leave from editing it and close the app, and when I go back it’s on again. I turn ken burns off on all the pictures, and crop them to be the size and place I want, but I can’t because they go back to how they originally were. I also don’t like how I can’t shorten the clips to a really short length, the shortest it can go is around a second, I want it to be shorter then a seconds, what if I’m making a fast paced edit with pictures that are only on screen for half a second, I can’t do that. And because I only 11 I can’t buy other editing apps without my parents consent. And they think that this is the best app, and I Should only use this. I think this app would improve if you could add a setting were you can automatically turn ken burns off, and have the photos back to where they should be, size and shape. It should also be cool if you could make it so you could shorten the length of clips even more. Thank you for reading this..Hony bare 2000Version: 2.3.2

✓ Don’t waste your time get CapCutIf you want to do anything more than trim a video clip get CapCut…I don’t think there is a worse app to waste storage space on a phone than iMovie Trust me just get CapCut. Thank me later!.HdksodbfbVersion: 3.0.1

✓ Cant upload to YouTube!I used to be able to upload my videos to YouTube but no longer have that option. As a small business that uses YouTube this is highly frustrating. Please fix, or at least give us an alternative. It’s 2021! Not the Stone Age..BhatkiblissVersion: 2.3.2

✓ How can a company take pride in something so awfulThis app used to be good but for some reason I can’t even make simple videos for school projects without having to struggle immensely for no reason. I read some of the other reviews and I’m glad I saw some regarding the issue with placement. You can’t place things on your own. For sample I tried to drag a audio clip to start at a certain point in the video. Every time I would try to place the audio bar in a certain place the app would automatically move it a couple centimeters ahead or behind. This makes it so frustrating to get good timing in my videos because of this stupid i don’t even know what it is. You guys make countless of updates but your staff seems to have inherited Stevie wonders vision because it actually seems like the bugs and glitches are getting worse. Of course I’m not expecting professional level editing for a free application, but if an app that apple proudly presents for their customers to use can barely place an audio bit correctly, than you guys need to start getting laser eye surgery and making some REAL changes and updates. Oh I’m sure you fixed the bugs just like your updates say. You don’t..SkjsnendnxVersion: 2.2.9

✓ Great app but very flawedThis is a very useful app that helps you create some really stunning and overall great films but I have a few problems with it. Firstly, while editing my movie, I encountered many glitches where the little blimp where it said was and where it actually was playing from. The only way to fix this was to restart the app. The second problem I have comes when saving the video. After finishing the film that I had worked on for three days, I saved it in my camera roll and watched it back only to realise a lot of the audio clips were out of sinc. This was heartbreaking. I shed a tear. And there was no way to go back and fix it because the previews in iMovie showed they were all in sync as well as in editing but when I saved it it was out of whack. PLEASE FIX THIS. I was working on an iPad Air 1 on ios10..DidmfirmfrnffrjnfjrvnVersion: 2.2.5

✓ I’mNo.GhhiiyrsdffVersion: 2.3.2

✓ Basic, yet soooo tedious!I thought this app was decent, but I’ve grown older and i realise how tedious the software is. It attempts to excel in basic editing, but there’s too many problems and poor decisions put in this app that play against the user. This includes the fact that it sends you back to the start of the clip you want to shorten or lengthen, this causes me to take a blind guess on how long I have to lengthen the clip to fit for example, audio. Along with the default setting of Kens Burn on all clips and upon removing this, has the user to move the clip to fit the screen correctly for every single clip that doesn’t need Kens Burns. In reality, I could probably finish editing a basic presentation quicker on Da Vinci Resolve than this app, which is shocking when your app specialises in “Instantly creating Magic Movies”. All of these problems shine the brightest when I tried to edit a basic presentation, which soon turned into an infuriatingly tedious process that shouldn’t of taken more than 2 hours. All in all, you need to stop putting the app against the user, it really pushes away the user from the freedom of a editing software. Especially with me. Goodbye to IMovie.Dre CanDrawVersion: 3.0

✓ The iPhone app has many problemsWhile the app is a huge step up from Memories it has its share of problems: 1) you can’t control whether a picture is displayed as portrait or landscape. After cropping and orienting, it’s hit or miss once uploaded that it will display right. And once it does it reverts back to original orientation when you continue to edit!! 2)not enough music selections. For a 3 trillion dollar company why on earth do they have separate tracks on their Memories function that are not available on iMovie? Merge them so we have a greater selection!! 3) slow: deleting and adding pictures to your movie is painstakingly slow. So I do so while watching TV. 4) displaying text options limited. Why can’t you provide choices to align text on the right side instead of left or be able to move it around and color choices? 5) poor control over how the picture displays. The app automatically zooms in when you don’t want it to. This app has no fix for it and are at the mercy of what the app decides cutting off great landscapes. The above lack of controls and randomness of the app gives this app at most 2 stars..Eaglesblue123Version: 3.0.2

✓ Okay, so…Generally, this is a good editing app for VIDEOS, not PHOTOS. Why? They make the photos go like- idk how to explain…oh yeah, they make them do transitions. I hate that. It’s hugely bothering me. I mean- like- the recording thing is fine, so is the music. The music is kinda nice. The sound effects is really helpful. But the text is so weird. You can’t have a text without effects. You also can’t move the text into places you want. Honestly, most of it is kinda just- bad. I’m just giving my thoughts and honest opinion. You know when you cheat in a game and win but it doesn’t feel as good as actually winning? That’s how I’m kinda feeling. I hope you change the app into a better thing. If you do, Thank you so much🥰💕💞💖❤️!!! But if you don’t…your choice I guess… PS. My school uses iMovie to edit. So have all the other ones I have been to. THEY like it, well, some of my classmates. I think..🧸Grace The Disgrace📖🌿Version: 2.3.2

✓ My honest reviewBefore i found better apps, i used iMovie and i guess it was pretty okay… but there are quite a few problems 1. Each time i want to shorten up a scene or something, i can. BUT- not super short. When i want to cut the scene short, i cant! The button just- freezes! Like, it’s unavailable and it’s really annoying 2. The songs on the app could be better… like songs with lyrics, or… famous songs. Because sometimes i want to put other songs than just the songs you have. Ok, i know that you can import files and bla bla bla but it’s really complicated 3. After filming something or whatever, it’s saved. Ok, good. But, if i want to re-watch the movie, sometimes, i cant. It says “downloading videos”. It’s annoying because i cant watch what i filmed or show it to someone ! 4. When i add photos, and i press play to see a little bit or something the photo slides across the screen. NO! I want it to stay still! And it doesn’t even show the full picture. It’s really annoying!! This needs serious fixing because i cant put an image properly and it ruins the whole thing … All in all, okay app. But needs fixing.I dont like roblox.Version: 3.0

✓ I hate the new update (2.3)So i have been using imovie since i was like 12 and it’s my favorite editing app because of how easy it is to use. the layout and functions are clear and easy to use. however, i just updated my app to v. 2.3 and i hate it. i do like the new font functions HOWEVER there is a GLITCH. for example, i want to enter my text in the ‘standard’ theme but only enter it on the bottom line and leave the 2 top ones blank. i CANNOT do this!! everything i click edit and erase the ‘title text here’ it still shows up!!! and if i click delete, everything deletes. please fix this soon because this is what i mainly use to edit (to put subtitles on the bottom line). thank you!!.Mia duoVersion: 2.3

✓ This stupid, stupid appI can’t make one video without running into multiple problems, the current one being that I’m trying to finish editing a vlog at the moment and every time I export it, the video comes out with missing audio on multiple clips. Some problems I’ve had in the past include the app crashing as soon as I click on a clip after opening a project, exports freezing part-way through, videos buffering during playback and entire projects going out of sync after I lower the volume on one clip. I’m assuming that some of these problems have already been fixed but there seems to be some new issue every time I go to make a video. Please fix this Apple..Mr_Super_JayVersion: 2.3.2

✓ Glitches make editing impossibleThis app is so glitchy I can’t even edit one of my projects I already had to restart my project because this app was glitching so much every time I opened up the project the app just completely shuts off I am still trying to edit but this app is just so glitchy it is impossible to keep everything normal without this app just completely ruining the whole project just because I needed to delete a clip the whole app glitches out. Sometimes I watch over my project but the screen just freezes and never plays when I try to add sound the audio bar just overlaps on the video it happens all the TIME! Every time it happens I have to restart the app and it gets annoying. I know you’re not going to read this and you probably don’t even care but please fix these app-breaking glitches..JulizxAcVersion: 2.2.6

✓ WORST APPIt’s good BUT i stayed up all night editing this video for school and got ready to export it to hand it in. THIS APP IS SO TRASH because it wouldn’t revenge let me save the video. it was a 8 minute video and I had to keep editing the video to make it shorter for the app to export. TRASH!.HbjvuVersion: 2.3.2

✓ About Ken BurnsI love this app, but I am one starring it until you fix this issue. Whenever I instert photos, it automatically goes Ken Burns on me. No one likes Ken Burns. I hate it, I don’t want my videos to shift in a tacky way all the time. I just want my photo centred, still and good. Please make it so when you insert photos they aren’t Ken Burns and you can turn on Ken Burns if you want rather than be bothered to turn it off. Thanks..PuffinMuffinLovingVersion: 2.2.7

✓ Not a great app worst app from AppleHi Apple, This app is way too basic for 2020. Major issues with this app include but not limited to: 1. You should be able to put music when ever you want in the video and not limit it to being snapped to the beginning. My work around involves adding blank sounds so I can add music when I want. 2. Need more controls with titles 3. Need to be able to add titles and control how long they are visible and not have to cut the shot in half to control time 4. Need more than 1 line of video and 1 line of audio. This does not include the audio from the videos directly or sound effects. 5. Need some additional effects like video and sounds. 6. Need a credit roll. Why do you limit movie making functions to trailers. Right now I have to make a trailer to get the scenesI want and the credit roll. This is incredibly frustrating. This app needs to showcase the power of the iPad like what you have done with pages, numbers, keynote and GarageBand. PLEASE MAKE THIS APP BETTER..Ann_AndrewVersion: 2.2.9

✓ Messed up over 3 hours of workI was making a film for youtube. I made it perfectly and I was very happy with what I made. The video was originally 7:40( 7min and 40sec). I finished it and showed it to friends. The video was perfectly fine. That very same day I went back to edit the video some more around 8 hours later but before I started to edit, I realized that the time changed to 7:59( a difference of 19 seconds). That was very strange as I didn’t make any changes to the video at all since I showed my friends. I went to watch it and I realized that the video and audio were totally unaligned. The audio, which was all detached so I could edit the audio, was the right length and speed. The audio said the speed was 1x. The video however was very slow and 19 seconds longer than the audio. It was falling behind the audio. I didn’t make any changes to the speed of the video as it was all in 1x, just like the audio. It was like the app just changed the entire video without me even getting involved. Now all my work I ruined and I can’t even upload the video..G= 68 =gVersion: 2.2.6

✓ This is driving me nuts!!! 🌰It’s really good! I make Gacha Life shorts with it. But then today this kept happening non-stop. I made a remake of the Urusei Yatsura theme song, but with Gacha Life, and whenever I get to a certain point in the video, it just kicks me out! Ugh! So annoying!!! 😡😡😡. Can you please fix that? And also, I made a movie, it was 30 mins, (I know, short movie!) Anyway, some clips are deleted for no reason!!! It took me DAYS to finish that movie and edit it. I’m so angry!!! Please fix it! And one more thing! Whenever I finish a scene or something, it always takes me back to the start! Please fix it!!! Anyways, great app, thank you, and have a nice day/night!

✓ Don’t recommend!!!A mediocre app that gets the job done... UNTIL it crashes on you right when you’re about to finish up a 20 minute YouTube video that took THREE DAYS to finish!! The jokes on me though because I was dumb enough to try editing again but on an IPad this time because I thought maybe it could’ve been because of my IPhone but NO it crashed AGAIN.😤 At the end of the day it’s not a terrible app to start on if they get their crap together and fix that HUGE PROBLEM..Slyvanna123Version: 2.2.6

✓ Cannot export in any wayThis is apparently a known issue. Well I didn’t know about it and after a year of putting together a video with hundreds of edits, transitions, sound effects etc all combined into a finished video, I can’t export because while my phone has 77GB of free space, a message appears telling me the video needs 8GB to download and I only have 2.3GB. So I delete a bunch of stuff I didn’t really want to and now it says I have 1.6GB! I literally can’t get my video out of iMovie! It’s forever locked inside. Why? Because Apple just don’t care enough to fix issues that are years old, because they make enough money where they don’t need to. That’s all that seems to matter to them now, the customers feedback always falls on deaf ears. If Steve Jobs could see what they’ve done to Apple, he’d be spinning in his grave! This company used to actually care about customers. You should be ashamed..TheChrisScenarioVersion: 3.0.1

✓ Glitches from iOS 12.3.1 updatePlease, Please, Please Fix! I only use iMovie and usually love it...however, Since the latest update for my iPad that includes green screen there are a variety of issues making the app difficult to use....I feel very inconvenienced after having to start again and edit an hour long movie three times! Lagging start and editing, Greyed out clips and a black preview screen, glitches....overlays blacked out, some clips fine some blacked out, also after adding new clips to the edit when I press to play the movie it says it’s “downloading from iCloud” but it never does. I have iCloud Photo Library option on “Keep Originals”, and the iCloud option for iMovie off, yet it still tries to download from it. I even signed out of my device and but it gives the same message. If all the clips used in the project are in full resolution on my iPad, I signed out of iCloud AND I had the setting on “keep originals” why is it still trying to download from this cloud?. The other perfectly fine clips also glitch and sometimes say the same message. All the clips ultimately alternate from being fine to acting out and being blacked out and glitching. Movie taking forever to load or freezing..have tried troubleshooting by restarting the movie from scratch...Same thing happening since update..RannyPannyVersion: 2.2.7

✓ Not greatApple usually brings great results but with IOS iMovie I think they have fallen short of their usual standards by a Mile. The tools are easy to use but limiting in what you can do, most of the time I either find my self swapping between a dozen apps to try make a movie or just using a computer. That said if you are looking just for a quick, easy edit iMovie should suffice. Also I have had multiple experiences of iMovie just giving up and crashing(it may have just been a dodgy or overlarge file though). Also trying to transfer anything into iMovie from another app is like trying throw a paper airplane through a fan(sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t, sometimes it just gets thrown into goodness knows where). IOS iMovie is fundamentally flawed and unreliable and I highly recommend using a different app..Wild Volt ratingsVersion: 2.2.6
