I'm having a lot of fun with these especially the free downloads. But I have had a couple of the free daily downloads not work, freezing up in the processing or not at all. The app offered me a dollar off of the 82 pack special but then after I went to purchase it a few minutes later it didn't. Good app! I purchased the 80 app pack and look forward to more coming available. But how do you delete some downloaded fx that are taking up storage space?

I had some technical difficulties after I purchased the app it constantly forgets that i paid for it and every time I try to make a video it prompts me to pay for something I already paid for. I've already tried the restore purchase fix and it didn't work. I don't like it right now at all. Jump ahead about a year and it still runs terribly and i paid for the disappointment 😒. Don't waste your time with this lemon.

This app would be killer except there are 2 serious flaws. First, except for like 3 of the effects you can only use live video that you have to shoot at that time. You can not use existing shots of any kind. I made a 3d animation in Blender that I was going to add the "UFO" effect to and send it to my son just for fun but noooo you can't do that. Very LAME. The other problem is you can't buy the full app outright. You can buy 1 at a time or a package of several effects but not all at once.
