I had this for years, but it kept changing and needing updates witch takes away alot of room for other importint apps. I can't even add two different clips from the same video. I had to delete all the work I've been recording because of this. I suggest you DO NOT get this unless you can figure out the issue. It used to be really good, but now its just a waste of time effort and space in your phone. 😟

The most recent update SUCKS. It used to be so easy to get clips from different video clips and splice together and the new interface is so beyond complicated. I literally HATE it and will be switching to a different app and ending my paid subscription after years of using it. The last full week it's taken me 5+ minutes just to get past the home screen. I don't have time for this, and I used this app daily.

So when I first got the app everything was running smoothly but all of a sudden when I was making a slideshow with transitions,filters and etc. the pictures just turned white not showing anything I did. all it saved was the transitions, the gifs, and the words. Please look into this glitch because I’m not sure if I’m the only one with this problem

This, until two weeks ago, was my go-to app for video making. I see that they have ported features of VivaCut and totally changed the presentation of the app. In doing so I am very disappointed. 1. I lost the ability to fine tune the trim parameters of the clip by sliding my finger above the start or end point. That was a killer feature. 2. The is my most important deal killer. All, not some, of my movies are choppy in playback after being saved. What did you do? Can you fix it back please

QUIT CHANGING WHAT WAS WORKING!! I have used this app for video edits for years and the most recent edit is horrendous. It used to be so much easier to edit and split/trim in the perfect spot. Now, it takes forever if you can even get the correct split location. I will be uninstalling and finding something like the old version. Super sucky. Tell me you'll change it back!!! I was even paying monthly for VIP. NOT ANYMORE!!

I was hoping to be able to write a review, glad I was prompted to--I have used many slideshow/video makers over the years, and every time there's either a limit of 30 photos, can't add my own music, too much complication, etc. I needed to make a beautiful slideshow this week, and quickly, and I randomly chose this app, and I am just thrilled. I am so grateful for the perfection and ease of this app. I created a beautiful slideshow and it took me 5 minutes. Thank you so much!! Perfect!!

Developers have gotten greedy with the new subscription system. This was my favorite video-editing app and made it easy to edit videos quickly and easily with cute features on my phone. I've had the app for about 3 years now after buying the full version, but with the new upgrade, it forces me to pay a new monthly fee to access features I could use before after paying the one-time fee. VivaVideo, you have lost me as a customer, and you will continue to lose more with this subscription system.

I've been using the paid version for dog training videos and it's pretty good overall. Over the past year, it still has glitches that drive me nuts & make it take longer to edit videos (hence the 4 stars.) For instance, if you have placed text & go back to edit, it changes your font style. The custom watermark can only be placed on all videos, not just a signal clip.It's also freezing. When I upload to Instagram, no matter the dimensions, it still doesn't fit & captions frequently get cut off.

Scam to try and trick you into paying. Tried free trial. Not useful or worth the money. Couldn't figure out how to contact app or cancel, when I went into the 'help and feedback' 'common problems' everything was in Chinese. Misleading because 4 days later it said free trial in top right corner giving one the impression it was still in the free trial time but after struggling to cancel, customer service told me they would not reimburse me, the next day it's showed VIP in the top right corner...

Paid $50 (after already purchasing this app previously, which is horrible business practice), and now the "new" version is almost completely useless! Loved this app for years, but now I can't even add my own music. Very disappointed, and want a refund. Response: I can see my music, and add it to the video, but when I play the video, the music is silent. I can hear the song on my phone and on the app when selecting the song...it doesn't make sense.

Very very frustrated. This app has worked pretty wonderfully for the last year or so. Occasional glitches with updates. I don't know what has happened over the last few days, but it will not export my videos which has put me HUGELY behind in my work. I paid for the VIP renewal, and now nothing is working. Even simply fast forwarding to the next clip function is gone, fast forwarding 1 second at a time rather than to the next clip. I loved this app at first bc it was easy. Not anymore. Canceling

Great starter app. Just need a good vision. However it does process with little regard to quality. Lots of lag when exporting videos even at 1080 hd. Subscription bugs out a lot and requires restarting often. Needs an undo last (list) command button. Slowest app to use. video playback during editing lags and cant watch it without buffering, will show video as if in slow mo but actually isnt. lots of bugs when using features, especially when stacking them. That's with the premium. worth a 10/year

Video editing took a few attempts to understand how it flows but worked well. Very disappointed with the music add on, no matter what I have done no music on the video. The music is on the phone, and shoes as selected but the music will not play over the video when Play is selected Searched help and FAQ files but unable to find directions for a fix

a headache! you pay then it keeps forgetting you paid to unlock features that you have to keep redownload themes. I paid for English, they keep updating to Chinese. They never fix how when you have videos that are horizontal and you add vertical photos it makes ALL the videos vertical, and when you change one item it affects everything! There's no control. I want photos vertical and that cuts off the head of people in horizontal videos. They have a 'apply to all clips' that doesn't turn off!

The app is pretty great! Much better now than when I first tried it a couple years ago. I especially love now that you can add text and music to it! What is super annoying, though, is now everytime the app updates it brings back the watermark and video limit as if I didn't pay to remove those. I have to open up the Google play store again just to get it to go away. Every single time it updates. Pretty freaking annoying for this busy Mom trying to work from her phone.

My orig. rvw was in 2016. I saw that there was the 2021 version and it had great reviews so I decided to give it another try. It sucked, it was so slow, it still kept on loading for a long time. I immediately uninstalled it. It gave me a free trial from the 7th to the 10th. I cancelled it on the 10th and was still charged $29.99. This is robbery. I would like a refund please. Cant download anything. Paid for pro version in hopes it would fix problem. Still the same. Would like a refund.

I got all the way done editing a 1.5 hour video into 22 minutes, saved it as a draft to download music for it, and when I tried to open the video again it wouldnt let me edit anything else! I uninstalled and reinstalled the app 3 times hoping it would work. IT DOESNT. I even got the stupid subscription to it and nothing was better. If I tried to share it or download it it would load to 15% and just stay there! Too many issues with this app and I am SEVERELY disappointed. I had high hopes from reading the reviews but I was let down hard. Do NOT waste your time with this app!!

I actually love this app so much for editing videos. It's the only app that does what it does that I've found and the creativity of my edits catches attention. However, it was about three days ago that I switched phones and although the VIP membership should transfer to the new device, I continually get an error message stating that the VIP membership information is not found. I have contacted support through the feedback tab and have not received a response. I'm displeased because this means the videos I use for my social media on professional groups will be super until this is resolved and I am not receiving a response on a paid subscription, not due to the actual function of the app. When you do not upgrade, the ads can get in the way and the quality of exports are limited.

If this was just about making a slide show, then this is a fantastic tool because of the multiple transition options from one picture to another, plus the extended duration for 10seconds was great, so was adding music of your choice to the video. Sadly this doesn't do everything like merge video, and the slide show has to be under 5 minutes that's why your getting a 3 stars. it would be great if there was no time limit on making the slideshows (I mean making it less than 5 minute is really bad,) also being able to make a single photo video would be even better ,also no time limit. able to merge video would be great. if you make these changes i would gladly give you a 5 star.

11/8/16 I do enjoy using this app, it's easy to use and all around awesome. However... The moment I hit the "filter" button the blank black background of my video switches over to a transparent background which I do not want, and have no idea how to change it back. So I have to remake the entire video again... Anyone know how to fix that? 4/15/2020- update again. Part 4 The whole app keeps crashing and closing out when I try to edit a video by simply trimming it.
