This app isn't free. It is great to use but it is unclear from the start that you can't export any of the created content without a subscription. I feel I have been tricked into wasting a lot of time. The UI is fantastic and if it was clear that the app isn't free it would be 5* but I feel tricked.

Payment policy is very bad, no option to cancel renewal subscritption, not clearly mentioned. Just cancel button option that don't clear either this will stop my service or after completing. I have wasted my 2 moths. After 1 month it automatically renewed my payment deducted. I contacted to support but they said,"Use this for new month payment will not be refunded". Although i used many other apps and face one time same issue there, but after contacting their support they excused & redunded.

The app is good but we cannot adjust the duration of the subtitles which is a very important feature. Sometimes if it doesn't catch a word we should be able to add it ourselves and adjust it's duration. Please look into this, Blink Team.

I just wasted 4 hours thinking this app would be free. When you try to export it, a pop-up appears telling you to pay for it. Why couldn't you have mentioned that earlier? Thinking it would improve marketing is just foolish; it only frustrates people. Anyway, don't even bother buying it. It will cost you $45 USD per month for an inaccurate captions app.

it seems like a pretty good app it does a good job of converting your voice into text. there are a few little things they could do to make it better like instead of having to actually go through and remove umm from when you're talking you have to do it manually. It would be nice to have an option to have it automatically do it or at least to have one button that does it for the entire thing. also I would like to be able to export the text so if I wanted to put the text as the description I can.

One of the better running caption apps, but terrible pricing and forced subscriptions after trial, an awful poor taste industry trend... should offer straight purchase instead. Runs pretty well on Android translating English, misses few words, lots of text options, styles, formats, colors, and animation styles. Easy to use editor with text dragging that actually works, few OS glitches and crashes, no watermark during trial, actually does what it should, but BS with the lame subscription !!

Hello, I have to take a break from posting videos, and thus I need to cancel my subscription. However, when I click on Cancel Subscription, it takes me to Google Play store, and no cancelation takes place. I made a video, and would be happy to send it to you. Please cancel my subscription as of before the latest charge today. I've not been able to cancel for a few days. This last charge was not supposed to happen. Thanks. PS. The app itself has worked quite well.

I really wished this app worked because, if it did, it would be the answer to my prayers. A couple of weeks ago, the voice-synced scrolling didn't work. I contacted support and it was eventually fixed. OK. Excited to get back at it. But now, when I record, the audio and video aren't synced so it lookes like a badly dubbed movie. So frustrating. Hesitant to put the effort into getting this fixed. What will be next?

This is a cool app, and I wish it would work, but I spent so long trying to edit the videos I've created with this app, only for it to tell me the export failed. I've Uninstalled / reinstalled but still getting the same issue. I've even tried rerecording new videos all together but that didn't work either. If I just do the captions with no edits within the app, it will download. However if I use the trim tool, it won't export. Its a free app so I can't be upset, just frustrating.

By far the BEST free teleprompter app in the market! Super duper easy to use, offers a vast amount of filters (beauty, lighting, background, face retouch, etc.) and I was able to include nearly 1,000 words in the script (other apps had a minimum word count, and charged for anything over). This app was just what I was looking for but it offered so much more. Don't think twice, download it in a heartbeat!

This app is a life-saver for creators. It saves tons of times for creating including but not limited to short-form videos. I also use it for my long-form YouTube videos. One feature I wish it had is having different text styles. I want to locate some subtitles in a different locations and with a different style and color. But it is not allowed to have multiple styles of subtitles or opt out from the general style. Lastly, for the "Korean language", the right transalation is "한국어" not "한국인".

It works just well enough and for the price is a good app. However, the teleprompter often freezes up, there is no pause and start feature, so either you have redo everything from the top, or save the take and edit your script, and then reshoot another sequence. The captions app makes lots of errors, and even after I edit and add punctuation, it won't keep the edits. Also, the caption often lag behind the voice. Otherwise, this app does a decent job.

Hi! I have tons of shorts to edit for YT. I've name my files in my phone. When I import into blink it doesn't make it easy to recognize the files as it doesn't import my file names. I may be dressed in the same clothing for 10s of videos. When you're batching, it's time consuming to have to wait until the end to name the file. File management improvement would make this a 5 * app. I love it, but it adds lots of min to production which for creators can be frustrating..

The voice sync worked well... to a point, then just stopped mid script and I had to manually scroll through the rest. Video only exports between 12-20 frames per second for some reason. And the floating overlay prompter stayed stuck in portrait orientation, even though my camera and phone were in landscape. This app has potential, but I'm not about to drop $50/year on it. Also, its "3 day trial" worked for about 12 hours before requiring me to pay to export my recording.

I downloaded for the teleprompter and after numerous takes until the talent FINALLY got it right I found out that I can only download or use the results of my long-suffering efforts if I upgrade and pay for their service. The interface was very usable with some neat features and it looks like a good production tool but it appears the free version is useless. ☹️☹️☹️ Big disappointment.

Fa-Bu-Lous app! unbelievable incredible 😲 it writes the script for you, run the teleprompter for you, put some makeup on you if you forgot, allows you to add captions, to choose from a variety of colored text for the captions, and even choose which word to emphasize! and then you can export it in HD and share it with your audience! #boom! I'm blown away!!!

It degrades the video quality a ton. The video captioning feature is really awesome, the AI software does well at recognizing the words to turn into the caption on the screen. You can choose through a variety of fonts and adjust your highlighted words BUT that is all completely countered by the amount of video quality you lose. I bought the lifetime subscription and I'm thinking about getting a refund.
