The exporting is broken
So, I work on this edit I worked very hard on but then when I export it the percentage bars go over 100% could you fix that?
2025-10-31
Painfullyyyyyyy lacking
There’s just so many basic features that this program desperately needs in order to make it something worth a subscription (snapping and guides for instance??). The guides for different features are still empty so even if you’re trying to teach yourself this alternative to AE, you best hope you can figure it out on your own. Full of potential but just lacking in so many basic functions.
2025-10-28
Didn’t let me tween
The tutorials pointed out the tweening button but it’s not there. I use an iPad Air so if that’s the problem, why can’t I tween???
2025-10-25
Payment firewall
Absolutely horrible. Do not download, just takes up space and money. You need to pay for the app, and the free trail ends, you’re stuck! No going back! Find a different app.
2025-10-19
Really good but with one flaw
Everything about the app is really good but one problem is the speed key frame since on iOS and apple devices we can’t use keyframes which makes some edits stupidly hard
2025-10-17
Cant 🥲
Idk how to use it it wont lemme animate 🥲
2025-10-16
Really confusing
Ive only had alight motion for a few weeks and have been trying to learn how to use it but i find it SUPER confusing,is this just me?
I started using alight motion as an alternative to capcut (i hated the pro feature on capcut) and tried to learn it but its really confusing. I used capcut because it was really simple but alight motion is confusing in my opinion…
2025-10-15
unusable without subscription
Forces you to pay for the trial, stuck at the ad and I can’t even use the free version anymore. Now sure if this is due to a new update
2025-10-14
Honestly? Love it!!
Best app I’ve used in a LONG while. I love making 3D animations! It’s easy yet complex and I love it!! (I wish they had a smooth slow motion though)
2025-10-04
Remove water mark
Good apps
2025-10-03
not good enough
i have worked on an edit and it doesn't even let me watch an ad to export it.
2025-09-29
Great app but please make it free
this app is GREAT at editing and making animations! But i would LOVE if it was free! just imagine all the downloads you would get. (We all know they just want money)
2025-09-26
Too expensive I’m broke
Too expensive for me I’m broke
2025-09-25
Yey
I love this app, I already got the hang of it in two days (by watching a billion tutorials lol) while it took a long time to get good at CapCut. Alsooooo I only switched to alight motion is because I can finally stretch images and animate them. Good app! I love making videos but the lag and crashing is a bit annoying tho. But everything else is fine! 7.510 would recommend..! It is actually pretty addictive to me lolzz!!
2025-09-25
Amazing! But maybe some more simpler options for beginner editors?
Amazing app! But it took me five hours to figure out the simple basics of my first tweening project on here! Amazing app obviously but even with tutorials it was difficult, could we perhaps have some more instructions and information for people with learning difficulties too? I think thats why it took me so long as well lol, but other then that, its very accessible and fair, thank you!
2025-09-23
FAVOURITE APP! But…
Alight Motion is by far one of the best editing apps I have used as someone who has been editing on social media for 4-5 years. There’s many cool effects yet a lot of ads needed to watch so as to export or use the pro effects for free. I have no problem with that because thankfully I have enough patience for it. However, whatever bugs me the most is the amount of times the app crashes. Even just opening the app it automatically crashes and closes on me.
2025-09-21
Alight motion nice app
Plz slove a problem
1: Not opening
2: Lagging
2025-09-20
Why subscriptions
I was so excited and now I’m so frustrated DONT get this app unless u want to pay!
2025-09-15
Amazing!!
I love using this app but there aren’t tts :(
2025-09-10
Shsh
best editing app
2025-08-23
Want me to pay first
You say your free to use but then you have in-app

3-ish stars | Functioning = crashing + annoying workaround
So quick explaination, this app is great, but as of awhile and recently, it’s been barely functioning, here’s a list of the problems
{project name’s - Not saving}
{crashing when making project’s, naming project’s,changing format’s,resolution or importing.}
{crashes,lag’s and glitches + extremely slow when trying to edit. Even if importing a single photo.}
{crashes downloading,playing or scrolling through the project}
{almost every button and function causes crashing}
{Extremely slow}
I’ve had one time in total it hasnt done these things, oh and, can we please have a clear cache button that doesnt clear the project’s but unnecessary cache please.
Also a work-around the lag i’ve found on IOS is, The lag is non-existent and doesnt crash if i dont change the name from the default project name it gives. But this is infruitating and the moment i try to add one it crashes.
2025-08-11
please fix the lag problem
its annoying having to sit through 20-30 seconds of ads only then to have it crash straight after. i can’t even export my project because of this
2025-08-10
Problem
IT MAKES ME PAY 😭
2025-08-10
Amazing
I absolutely love this! I was just suggesting what you can add as an update? Maybe a reverse button where you can reverse your clips and adjust it? That would be amazing! Also, I would like more effects!
2025-07-31
Alight motion.. What did u do to me???
Dear alight motion, now i really wanted to add photos onto an project, but 1 slightly problem just came upon me, IT. WONT. ADD. ANY. PHOTOS?!?!?!?!?!?!?! I just done something and BOOM it just went: " No photos today, have a break DrAWING✨✨✨ " and i was like: "...add photos...? LET me add my photo...UGHH??!!" so please try and fix it please, i really need to make an animation with the photos i need. If this is a bug happening, please try and fix it...🥺
2025-07-31
To hard to use.
You can NOT make anything on this like all tuts ppl made DONT HAVE VOICEOVERS AND ARE TO HARD TO UNDERSTAND and the button to get out of the premium adds BLENDS IN?!?!?! That made my dad think we had to pet for the app in the app :(
2025-07-27
My honest review
Ok I used to use CapCut but it got money hungry so I started to use am because all the manga editors go there and lets be fr 20-30 seconds ads aren’t that bad compared to crunchyroll
2025-07-21
Why is this happening?!
I just downloaded alright motion and I tried to create a project but for some UNEXPLAINED reason it pops up with the ‘plans’ like yearly weekly or shake phone for free thing. But there is no x button. It says unlock all the pro features of alright motion. But I don’t mind the ads. It says ‘without the ads’ but IDC. (I don’t care) ABOUT THE ADS. Where is the x? Pls I just want to edit I BEG YOU!
2025-07-19
I love this app so much
ITS 11/10 EVERYDAYY
2025-07-19
It won’t work
I haven’t even gotten to test it because when I try to create a project it asks if I want to buy full access, it doesn’t have a option to say no so i literally can’t make a project
2025-07-17
lag and not exporting
heya i dont really know where to say this but uhm yk great app easy once you get the hang of it also kinda laggy when you have multiple layers and oh yeah i have to get to the point. so for the project im exporting, im using pro features but its fine because its the ones that i can watch an ad for. and you know when youre watching those ads and it says to watch three ads? yeah for some reason it never plays the third ad so i can never export my projects basically. honestly i dont know if its the app or my device but hopefully whatevers causing it, it gets fixed somehow! thank youuu love this app
2025-07-17
Why
I have heard good reviews about this app but I am forced to pay for an app where I don’t care about ‘pro things’ I just want to use this app for free without the free trial why did this app have to remove the ‘x’ button
2025-07-12
One very annoying problem
So I use this app a lot it’s my go to but i usually make 20-30 seconds clips but when it try to play it is very laggy and it’s hard to get perfection because it’s too laggy to see what I’m doing
2025-07-11
Ads
Not so bad after u learn it until you realise that you have to watch an ad to download the video WHILE it's watermarked 🤦🏽♂️ den u realise that this app laggy as so u gotta keep on watching the ads just to fix ur mistakes.
As well as that they give u another unskippable ad after you spent 60 seconds watching the ad + 30 seconds downloading it. At the very least removing the gigantic watermark would help the experience
Ps if u on apple u can't use graphs on speed meaning u will get choppy velocity edits if you ever try. so annoying
AND again you can't do basic things like reverse the video too. So annoying
2025-07-11
HORRIBLE
I heard good things about this app, so obviously, I downloaded it. Heard it was free, easy to use, and overall good. But as SOON as I load in, no hello, nothing. It hits me with ‘get pro’ I click X, because I don’t want pro. I go to create a project, I press create, and you know what I see? THAT DAMN PRO THING. And no, it doesn’t give me an option to click out, it only has the option to buy. ONE STAR, SHOULDN’T OF EVEN MADE THIS DUMB APP IN THE FIRST PLACE. I am so disappointed considering the fact that people said it was good and I believed it, just to be hit with the worst app in existence.
2025-07-09
эм
заипал лагать,какое устройство нужно купить, что бы ам ваще не лагал,ух я вам👊🏻👊🏻
2025-07-07
too much lag. won't even let me play the video.
i haven't even added any effects, and it's laggy af. this is also after i UPDATED and DELETED every single project in my collection. yet, it still lags. i've changed the resolution and frame rate and it still lags. make your app more suitable and efficient.
2025-07-06
GREAT but this one bug RUINS everything
videos I use in my edit just don’t play and stay as one frame, like if you put a video of a moving box on there it just stays as one frame of the video of the moving box
2025-06-30
SHAME
its a shame its such a good editing app because the development team must be from the spawns of hell for removing parenting as a free feature
2025-06-27
AMAZING
honestly this app is the closest thing you can get for free to after effects, but the one thing. Can you please add speed graph keyframes, i heard the Androids got them but what about the Ios? This is all, hope yall respond.
2025-06-27
glitches often + why is there no mac version
i’ve used AM pro for years now, it’s a really great app to execute creative video ideas.
but often times there are REALLY strange glitches (especially when grouping layers) that last for a frame and you can’t get rid of them. like a layer will stretch, or completely disappear.
and as soon as the edit gets too complex the app will just completely freeze and lag in the playback so i have to export it to see the edit’s progress.
i’m also sick of using my phone to edit because the screen is so small & i run out of storage quickly, but i can’t switch to mac because there’s no mac compatible version of AM. it’s honestly frustrating, i don’t want to learn an entirely new editing app + buy a new pro membership just because of this.
2025-06-04
cool
good
2025-05-31
I reccemend cap cut… this is to hard.
Ok im actully crying this is freaking confusing so the button with the two squares and they + i tapped on it hoping i can edit like capt cut but it did random stuff its damn confusing I just wanted to edit my GACHA avatar and I’m so frustrated rn I don’t know how to do it I’ve been watching so many turturisls but still just make us tap it once and yea 😭
2025-05-10
AMAZINGNGNNGNG
I love this app I use it for everything I edit but 8 JST want reverse and the speed curve thingy😃😃😃
2025-05-09
It’s a good app:)
Once you get the hang of it it’s a wonderfull and easy app to use : )
2025-05-04
Please
Hello, can you make it so that when you need to extend some part as in CapCut I took it and it went? It's not convenient.
2025-05-03
all graphs for all device types please
im legit begging, i cant do time remapping nor veloicty / alot if graph stuff
2025-05-03
BOOM SHAKALAKAA 😍😍😍😍
i make yummy animations on alight motion and it got me to almost 1k subs >:))))
2025-04-21
Crashing and lagging.
Heyyyy! My name is Ella and I love using alight motion to edit. Great app. But whenever I edit in high resolution and frames it gets really laggy, I would like your dev team to fix that as when exported, some parts are more delayed or faster then meant to. 2nd of all, my app keeps crashing when I was editing, now it doesn’t want to export as it still crashes? IVE tried EVERYTHING yet it doesn’t wanna work. All I ask is a lag, crash fix in the next update as alight motion hasn’t been working well. Thank you.
2025-03-23
It’s a lovely game, but… (also can you respond?)
So..sometimes it glitches and it won’t let me erase my drawing and it glitches. Sometimes it makes the animation look like it’s going 12 fps instead of 30. Please fix this! It makes my animation look very blocky and not smooth at all! Alight motion is smooth animations! Not choppy ones! Sometimes it even makes my animation look like it’s going 5 fps or 4. AND WHEN I TRY DRAWING AFTER I CAN ERASE IT THE DRAWING IS OUT OF PLACE 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡. (Calm down..calm down). Okay it’s a good game when you get used to it.
2025-03-01
The paying…
The app is good, I just don’t like how’s its like a weekly or yearly pay-hungry app. I think it would benefit everyone if the app was a one-time pay like procreate, just pay somewhere like $20 ONCE and enjoy the app without worrying about the app using up all your money for the rest of your alight motion career. I would’ve given it 5 stars but the demand for money is just… a bit too much…
2025-02-02
Really good! Recommend using this app!
Omg when I first downloaded this app it was really hard to use but thankfully there was tutorials to guide me, after an month or 2 I managed to edit some pics but when I add audio and start playing the vid it made the audio mute?? Idk how to fix it tell me how to but I always have to scroll to the very start of the vid for it to start turning on the audio or wearing headphones, but I recommend using this editing app either way cuz other than that this editing app is really good! (It’s very famous for tweening now so go and try it!) ❤️
2025-01-24
Good but can’t download on Mac and exports are laggy (for me)
People say AlightMotion is like a mobile version of Adobe After Effects and depending on your level of editing, it can be! I personally use am for my edits and here’s some issues I have with am: there’s no reverse feature, my exports are laggy, CAN’T DOWNLOAD ON MAC, and not a big thing but the motion blur can be fixed a bit more (when doing a rotation transition the blur makes a circle but it would look better in a spiral blur yk?). I really wish that AlightMotion was available on Mac or pc because my mobile device can’t take as much as a laptop or computer. My exported videos are very laggy and low resolution but it wasn’t always like that, I’m not sure what happened but PLEASEEEE fix this.
2025-01-20
Good but i’m experiencing so much lag very frequently
I’ve had this app for a while, really good but uo until recently i’ve been experiencing a lot of bugs and issues when exporting my projects. i have a few screen recordings and videos of my project going dark and flashing randomly and also showing parts of the video that aren’t supposed to be there a lot. if someone could reach out and help that would be great. otherwise really good editing app, quality is very good and smooth.
2025-01-19
It’s good but super laggy and messes up the edit after
Everytime after I finish an edit, it tweaks my edit and makes it different from the original. Making me have to go over it and adjust it, even when I do so, it doesn’t fix it completely. Alight motion, please fix it. I like using this app because you can just watch ads for premium effects but it’s too laggy and slow sometimes.
2024-12-29
I love this app but..
am (alight motion) is really good for tweening, editing and others. But when I have done lots of editing in one project, it glitches ALOT.
I was working on a video but now whenever i go into it, it kicks me out of alight motion!! my other projects work, but i was really focusing on that one ): I don’t know how to fix it or anything..
Other than that I still use it a lot of the time!!
2024-11-28
Love this app but could be great if there were a few tweaks
This app is very good, highly recommend. I make my animations there all the time and it has a lot of functions that other editing/animation apps don’t. The only problem is that it often crashes while exporting. It even crashes while the ad to export is playing. I literally spend hours trying to refresh things, clear out storage, power off and on my iPad and update the app to the most recent version but it continues to crash. The project’s file size is rather big so I’m not AS surprised, but it would be great if alight motion could handle larger projects when exporting :)
2024-10-15
Good but fix this
When I downloaded it I accidentally picked limited and clicked out then it wouldn’t wouldn’t let me get the photos again and just gave me some samples which then lead to me needing to re-download it so deleting the app and getting it back again please. I’m begging you to fix this I know that once you press something you can’t fix it right? but it’s really annoying and I just wanted to say maybe you could add a button words like you can add photos if you actually press the wrong thing also limited access out change it you know so I still love them editing app I’m going to try it and I want to watch some tutorials but please fix this.
Thank you :)
2024-10-06
AMAZING BUT...
ok so i used to be a cc editor and the reason why i'm using am now is because of how many effects are becoming pro and how money hungry cc is. am on the other hand, yes they do have pop-ups on subscriptions to cool effects but yk to get them for free you only have to watch a 15-30 second app (let's be fr, it's not that long)! i feel like everyone is exaggerating about the ads because for me they never pop up unless i want to export my clips or unlock a certain effect. it's true that am is a little harder from cc as i'm used to the simple buttons and where to do different things but i managed to make my first edit and i'm rlly proud of it!
sadly, there is always a little problem in every app. the problem for this app is that you should make the buttons to edit a little bit closer together so it's easier and more convenient to navigate. also, you should make the tutorials more understandable cause it makes no sense at all to me (my opinion i'm just slow hehe).
other than that, am is my new favourite editing app! the effects are sooo helpful and i just like the way it's laid out! absolutely love this app. recommended for people who have some experience in editing but if ur new still, go ahead! it may be harder tho just saying.
P.S: GUYS STOP PUTTING 1 STAR JUST CAUSE IT'S HARD FOR YOU. IT'S BECAUSE YOU HAVE A SKILL ISSUE JUST BE HONEST OMFU.
2024-08-26
It’s alright.
It’s an amazing editing app once you figure out how to use it, though the 20-30 second to export it, is a bit annoying, the lag is terrible but that could just be my phone. Although I’ve tried a least 5 seperate times to open the app and export my 23 second video, it just doesn’t work- yes I still have to watch the add. I swear I’ve watched the same 20 second add 7 different times. It just freezes 3/4 of the way threw or after the full add, it goes black like it’s loading but it doesn’t load. (I’ve waited up to 4 minutes) so PLEASE fix that, the editing part is amazing!
2024-07-25
Great app but it crashes every 30 seconds.
Hi alight motion, I'm writing this review because recently alight motion has been crashing so much. Every 30 seconds it kicks me out. Its also extremely laggy but honestly the only thing that really bothers me is the fact that i have to keep going into the app because it crashes so much. I get about one thing done and it crashes. I tried to redownload the app but the same problem occurred. PLEASE IM BEGGING YOU FIX THE APP SO IT DOESN'T CRASH
2024-04-06
so annoying
good app but , I absolutely cannot like move that thing with the shapes audio media button and all screen ANYWHERE. It’s been really frustrating and I need some help out, unfortunately I couldn’t find any.
that seconds scroll thingy that makes the whole video longer but stays the same is so irritating, like what is it even for and why is it needed. Overall, this app is okay but certainly is annoying and frustrating.
gladly recommend improvements and maybe even tutorials about on.
2024-02-14
Good but could be better
This app is really good except for when it’s time for exporting! I try to export and it makes me watch an ad (which isn’t a problem) but then, out of no where, it kicks me out! Even if I get through the process and it hits 100%, it still won’t let me save it to my camera roll!! I’ve tried to send an email to to you guys but it just won’t let me. Please fix this issue since I love this app so very much! Thank you.
2023-06-05
The new update is too pricy…
I was fine paying $8 or whatever it was a month for the app, that’s fine, even $10, but as a HS student I simply can’t afford $8 A WEEK.
There’s no way 1 out every 3 people on this app are willing to pay that much, right? How are you making profit? What is your demographic?
Surely professionals use After Effects and such, I always assumed this app to be for intermediate to low-scale experienced editors. Why bump the price up that high for an IOS app? At least make a desktop version for a pricier alternative which would be ideal for those able to pay $8 a week.
Please take a look at your recent reviews, people are unhappy. Please, reconsider.
2023-05-07
It’s great but….
This is truely a great app but the frame drops and constant crashes when trying to export videos is getting annoying now. I have to try export at least 4 times and 3 of them all crash, and when im able to export it, the timer indicating how long its gonna take is around 30-40 minutes for a 20 second video. Either its the app or my iPad and i got the best iPad with barely any apps i still have 200 gigabytes left and these problems are still occurring…

Worst editing app ever.
This app is so useless literally. It makes the most simplest things complicated. Who in there right mind would use this app. CapCut is way better is so simple to use, there is nothing difficult about CapCut, even a child would understand quickly how to use CapCut. But alight motion is terrible its so difficult to understand, who would even come up with the idea of an editing app where it makes the most simplest of things difficult.

LOVE IT BUT….
sometimes alight lags ALOT and it’s frustrating because some projects take hours and hours to make… only having it to take me out of the app and not being able to download my finished project :(((
NONETHELESS i love this app with my whole entire heart I wouldn’t use any other editing app besides alight! Just wish it wouldn’t lag so much and take me out all the time :(((
Love you alight <333

Membership
I really enjoy using alight motion, having installed it on both of my phones. Everything is free on device 1 [meaning the effects are free], yet on device 2, I’m required to purchase membership to use the effects. I haven’t paid for membership for device 1, which is odd to me as I have one device that has the effects for free while the other doesn’t. Is someone able to help me out, or at least explain why this is the case?

Advertisements are ridiculous
I downloaded alight motion in maybe 2019, 2020 even, and it had absolutely zero ads which made it amazing. Nowadays, I get about three ads just opening the app, random ad pop-ups, and another three to just export and save a project. This app has become annoying and frustrating as you can barely even do anything without paying ridiculous amounts of money for something that used to be free a few months ago. I understand that the devs need to make money somehow, but there’s no way that I can afford their overpriced pro version. The developers need to pull their heads in and stop making their app progressively more and more useless.

good app some flaws
It is a good editing app although it is so laggy at times and the ads for exporting are ridiculously long even worse it says that I only need to watch ‘an ad’ to export instead i have to sit through two 20-30 second long ads and its such a waste of time. It also takes long for the editing process to be done because of the tremendous amount of lag that keeps getting worse when you add more effects to your editing project. Please please please fix this lag problem, the ad isnt that bothersome compared to the annoying lag with this app. It is such an irritating thing to have to close the app and reopen 23 times in one editing project and it just ruins the experience and smoothness of it. Alight motion please I am begging, please find a way to fix the lag and i can die in peace please please please. I can’t stand when my app lags while I am previewing my edit and my app crashes while the audio is still on.
thanks luv ya

Bugs fixed
This app is really good I use it for editing my TikTok videos and before I stopped using it because every time I had over 3 overlays it kicked me out so I decided to stop using it then I chalked it out again and it says you guys have improved the bugs and stuff so I downloaded it again and you did! Now I can make high quality videos

The prophecy has finally been fulfilled
I’ve had alight motion for a year and it’s impressing with all the cool effects and stuff. But when I watch tutorials for smooth transition I have to use the pro effects witch really changed how I edit. But then on the 29th of October. It happened. It finally happened. U can watch adds to unlock pro effects. This literally changed everything, BUT you could do the same with parenting, camera etc. but it’s awesome thanks. 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

stop being so greedy for money
i’ve been using alight motion for so long for my edits and lots of the effects need premium for no reason? Some of the effects that are premium aren’t even that good. To get a membership it’s literally $8.00 a week. How bad is that? It just shows how greedy you guys are for money. Think about customers before making stuff like this. We are the people using this app and we won’t use it if you continue to do this kind of stuff. What’s more i come to edit and i’m ready to export when i see that the ads are suddenly 30 seconds long? WHY?? Why do i need to watch a 30 second ad now just to export a video? I could do that on other editing apps without an ad. Ridiculous. Fix your app and your attitude with us.

Great, but can you please fix this bug/add these features?
This is a great app overall but when I try to use the X skew/Y skew in move & transform it usually messes up really badly where it skews way to a much then I wanted.
I think it would be a good idea if you were able to tap the number on the skew slider and type it in the number you want. This would be helpful to me because I often tween my characters with this app but if I want something going in reverse (please also add a reverse feature I have seen other people want it too) I have to manually move all the sliders.
Great app a bit confusing but maybe that's because I skipped the tutorial :) 👍👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fix the lagging and crashing
I understand that Alight motion users have a lot of groups and stuff, but the crashing is getting out of hand. It is basically unusable that the fact it crashes every 2 minutes. This app also deosn't work if you have no wifi and then the Members feature pops up. It then doesn't load and you have to connect to wifi.

Review!
Alight Motion is a must have for any video editor or aspiring one out there. Personally, I transitioned from CapCut into Alight Motion and immediately gave up with how complicated it was. I watched some video tutorials on how to make some transitions and a few months later, I am making advanced edits that I’m really proud of. I also purchased the Pro part but that’s not needed. It’s basically After Effects but mobile. It’s a great app and I think that even though it’s hard, when you get the hang of it, you’ll be very proud of yourself. The only issue I have is the crashing and lagging. However, I can understand why it does crash when you have a lot of groups and effects there. I fixed that myself by grouping whatever transition I had and then saved it to my Elements and exported it in a fresh project. That’ll help you guys as well! Overall I would highly recommend Alight Motion.

TOO MUCH LAG
I try to edit something I’m doing well and the app is so amazing and easy to use but I swear i get lagged out nearly every second, I try to make it stop lagging but nothing works. Either it kicks me out of the app or the picture stops and the music keeps playing and glitches. I’ve had my iPad for a while but nothing this bad has ever happened to it. So please fix that big issue. Other than that the app is amazing

recent ad issue
alight motion is overall a pretty good app and i have downloaded it again after taking a break from the app. The issue is there is an ad saying something along the lines of “monthly effects” and when i try and click the X button to exit the ad it doesn’t work, meaning i can’t exit the ad so i can actually use the app. It’s very annoying and I don’t want to have to wait until the time period for the ad ends until i can actually use the app. So if it’s possible you should probably review this issue.

Really good app but crashes so much
This is a really good editing app and is probably the best on iPads/iPhones if it didn’t lag so much and crash especially when I’m exporting, a lot of my edits that I have done have crashed while they are exporting and they are yet to fix it, I feel like they’re working to hard in new features rather than fix the lag and glitch problem, other than that best editing app with so much you can do, but warning it is a little difficult to use at the start.

Too much lagging
Its a great app to edit on, ghost effect blur and transitions. I edit on this all the time. I recently got my iPad and it's already lagging on alight motion , Kicking me out, Video slows down and breaks down a lot. I want this to be fixed as soon as possible , I enter so many editing contests but I don't have enough time to edit because alight motion keeps lagging. Its annoying and frustrating please update it and keep it running. Thank you.

Laggy
Listen, alight motion is my favourite editing app. But one thing that makes me absolutely HATE alight and change to another software is because the app quits on me 6 times a minute, and the edit isn’t even that large or anything! Literally I get so frustrated. A lot of other people is also that’s it laggy, and it IS. SUPER. LAGGY. I cant even watch my video playback without it lagging and the app crashing.

Lots and lots of crashing and lag
I’ve been using alight motion for quite some time now, and there has always been lag when I out one too many layers into the app. Sometimes the app will just do slight crashes and I can enter the app again, but sometimes it will fully shut off my iPad. I find it hard to edit since i cant review the video since it’s lagging so much.
I’d really like for this to be fixed since it’s making it nearly impossible for me to edit.

Good but lags
I enjoy using this app, but there are many things i that I can’t do because of it lagging. An example is today where I spent a while on an edit, but then when I made a group it lagged out. I can’t access it anymore because the app will crash every time, so I can’t even ungroup it to fix it. I usually duplicate the project multiple times as I go in case something like this happens, but I still lost a lot of progress, which is really frustrating
2021-01-10
What happened?
I got this app a little while ago, and It’s a great app. It’s easy to use, great quality, and a lot of my other friends use it. I even used it and won a competition in school.
Eventually, I lost some of my motivation and stopped using it for a bit, but when I came back, I tried to export my video, and now it’s saying `Members only feature’ I could no longer export my videos.
I’d press the button in the corner and it just kept saying `Members only feature’ . I might just have a glitch or there’s a misunderstanding, but charging people to save their own creations will just cause people to try and find a different app to use.
Overall, it’s an amazing app, transitions are smooth, effects help the video com to life and this is one of the best apps that you can use for almost anything. Which is why I really want to use it but it no longer allows me to download my videos, so there’s truly no point.
Once again, great app but please explain why you’ve done this.

Idk if this is just me or..
Okay this is a really great app but I was trying to make animation with a transparent background and stuff but theres like a bug?
I gues idk it just have this white stuff around it if someone knows how to fix it please let me know
I tried everything to fix it but still nothing is working I double checked the photo and yes it’s a transparent photo. I can kinda fix it with darkening the layer but it looks a little weird...

Lagging A LOT
It’s a great app! I usually use it to add overlays and transitions. Although recently it’s been laggy and I am unable to watch my video through without it being blocky and glitching, usually this would be okay as long as I can watch it through once i’ve saved it to my camera roll and it comes out clean. Though now i can neither watch it through cleanly or even save it to my camera roll! This is SUPER frustrating as i spent over 3 hours on an edit! And for me not being able to save it or screen record it has completely wasted all of my editing time :( I’ve tried all the possible solutions like: restarting my phone, deleting many of my unwanted videos that are taking up storage, getting rid of tabs on my phone etc. If i try to watch a video or save it kicks me out IMMEDIATELY :( PLEASE FIX THIS! There is no other way for me to save my videos and i need this to be fixed ASAP!
2020-09-27
Please fix this soon<3
I really like the app and it’s been really good to make edits and stuff but every time I try to group different layers on my edit together or add elements in my edit it lags for a while then master resets my phone, Please fix this in the next update ( I don’t know if it’s because my phones and iPhone or if it’s happening to everyone) but I really want to keep using alight motion as it gives me so much to work with:)

Great App!
I’ve finally been able to find an app to edit things on that doesn’t require you to pay a big fee monthly. This app is incredible once you learn how to use it! My only problem is when I transition between different clips the video starts to lag, mainly when using spin transitions, I’m not sure if this is something the developers can fix or not but it would be great if you could. Other than that I recommend this app to anyone wanting to make good edits!

Lag and crash
this app is amazing! i started to learn the basics of this app. i had this app for a few weeks and i gave up right away but after i took my time and i finally made a 24 second edit after 2 hours. i wanted to try a different app that was easy but not too hard, VS cannot create those bouncy transitions that’s why i came here. the main problem (and i’m sure everyone will know) is that it keeps lagging and crashing. every time i play my edit, i wasn’t sure if my transitions were slow or it’s the lag. please fix this really soon so we can all have an amazing time with this app and not have our devices being thrown to the wall because of this issue. thanks!

Lagging and crashing
I love this app, it’s easier for me to edit in then with cutecut and VS. I’m really grateful you guys created this app, I’ve been making better edits. But one problem, it seems to crash/lag a lot on my device. Which I have is a IOS, I know it was only released for like apple a while back? (I don’t remember when sorry.) But I’d like for you guys to try and fix it! :D it’s really hard for me to make edits while this is happening everytime I try to play it. Thank you :3 💖

One problem other then that it’s alright
I’ve only used this once and I already like it a lot. there’s only one problem tho when ever I try replaying the project over and over again with sound it lags then just pauses the whole thing and doesn’t let me do anything I rated this 3 Because I haven’t got used to it And the glitch I just rote about if you can maybe fix this it would Be amazing! I try making my animations at night so I usually try and finish them fast so if this glitch would be fixed I would injoy it way more❤️: so I’ve been using more of it and it’s really making mad because every time I export the video it just lags out! I’ve made a whole video that took days and now it won’t even let me export it!😭 this really making me mad please fix it!

Great once you get used to it
Firstly I would like to say this is an amazing app with really cool effects and features. But it took me quite a while to understand how to use it. The tutorial videos didn’t really help me, because the video was using a different version of Alight Motion. And this app also kicks me out a lot, I don’t know why and hoping you will fix this and make tutorial videos for different updates of Alight Motion 🙏🏻
