Amazing app for Easy, Professional-Looking Edits
I absolutely love using splice to create my TikTok videos. It’s so easy to use even when I’m editing on the go and the Tools make my videos look clean and professional. The transitions effects and music options are fantastic. I love how quickly I can put together clips without any hassle. Everything runs smoothly and it’s made editing fun instead of stressful. Definitely one of the best apps out there for creators who want quality results without needing complicated software.

Don’t get caught
Don’t fall for the free trial. It’s a trap to get you stay subscribed without you realising it! Unsubscribe immediately.
No one needs to pay $15 per week for an app they will only occasionally use

Double charging me
This is a great app. However for some reason recently I am being charged twice for subscribing. Two different subscriptions for this app. I want to cancel one of them but it isn’t listed in my subscriptions. I feel like this is a scam as the second one I don’t want has just increased its charge!!! Could someone from Splice cancel the second subscription immediately please. I’ll keep my annual one. Thank you. I’ve reported this fraud.

Hopeless won’t sync my account same login
2025-09-11
Be careful
When choosing to upgrade the app make sure you look at all of the options and don’t get put on a plan that takes something out of your account 3 times a month -
I chose to upgrade this app to a paid app to allow more space to save videos and got quiet stung so make sure you double check

Paywalled Basic Features
Basic features like importing audio from your files is paywalled. Worst of all they let you do it then when you go to save they say no you must pay first. Other apps tell you from the outset that you can’t do something without paying. It’s useful because then you delete the garbage before wasting time with it. Would recommend the many other free alternatives that have fleshed out basic features. This app is not worth your time.

The ones that don’t work out they don’t even come out as a picture they come out just for a grey board or a blackboard or something with none of the beaches on them. I think it’s unfair to keep paying for things that don’t work.

Video editing is a breeze
I love Splice for personal and work video editing.
2025-08-03
Love but disappointed
I’ve loved and used Splice for 3? years now. But for the last 12 months the formatting of text on videos is lost after download and sometimes the editing also goes slightly out of sink after download too. I have reached out to customer service several times and the response I’ve received has felt like a ‘stock standard’ response with no intention to investigate or resolve. I am looking for an alternative app now because it’s fair to assume and expect a PAID app like Splice would take measures to resolve tech issues within the app that paid customers are experiencing. As it stands I can’t rely on the app to produce the work that I’m paying for (which for the record is very simple formatting and editing)
2025-03-30
Good editing app, terrible ads
Splice is a pretty good editing app overall. BUT for me whenever i were to export something a option to upgrade came up -which is understandable- but it wouldn’t let me leave the ‘ad’ and when i refresh the app the video would either disappear or the ad would stay there. In the end I had spent over an hour trying to figure out how to close the ad (and I tried multiple ways; pressing the x button that was there, coming out of the app, trying to read the ad and then spend a few minutes waiting then trying again. Nothing would work) and then suddenly my video I had spent hours on disappeared and I had to go on a different editing app and start all over again.
2025-03-12
Not exporting
I usually LOVE this all and choose it over other editing apps because it doesn’t store locally therefore not taking up all your storage and it’s is very user friendly. However lately I haven’t been able to export any videos which has been extremely frustrating. The website link is broken on the App Store so I can get in touch with the developer. I think it’s worth a price when it actually works but for the price I think it should be more reliable. If someone can get in touch with me, that’d be great.
2025-01-27
This makes me pretty mad…
Splice is a nice app. But there’s a problem. When I was making an edit for my friend, and I tried to export the video to my photos, it said that there was a pro feature I was using when I wasn’t. I spent ten minutes of my time trying to turn off the pro feature but it still doesn’t work. Could you at least make it so that if you are using a pro feature when you didn’t pay for it, a button that automatically turns off all the pro features you’re using? I still can’t export the video because of that stupid pro feature
2024-12-22
Basics don’t function properly
I do want to love this app, but splice makes it so difficult. It is a good video editing app, but it lacks simple basic like being able to see your audio. Why is it that I try and import videos and they aren’t showing up in my timeline? Which means I can’t split them. Why is it that when I do split videos in the timeline my curses doesn’t get backwards to where I originally explicit video from? I have to scroll backwards. Why is it so difficult to export things? Why does it and not export properly?
It’s incredibly frustrating, if you’re going to build an app of this type of magnitude at least get the basic right.
Okay so Adobe Premiere Rush doesn’t have many features. But at its core the basic features work incredibly well.

Bye bye Splice
This app was amazing! So much capability, that I would choose to edit videos on my phone rather than computer! But the new upgrade changed some filters dramatically and certain functions are a lot harder to access - pity! I might be on a search for a new app. Not sure if worth my while to learn this new version only to have it change on me again...
Updated review: seems this app has gone the way of every other money grabbing corp and removed a free version and removed the ability to export vids for free, at a bare minimum if you’re going to make what was a free app now pay, have a one off payment for loyal users, I hate subscriptions! Bye bye Splice!
2024-08-13
Music issues
The app is great for putting pics and videos together but as soon as you add your own music the problems start.
I’m not sure if there’s a communication issue between iTunes and the app but several times I’ve purchased a song from iTunes to use in my edit only for the app to tell me I need to purchase the song.
I then email the app to let them know and I get and automated answer telling me to do things I’ve already done.
Not great!
Will probably look elsewhere for another video editing app if it doesn’t get sorted soon.
2024-07-29
No what I expected🫤
I got this app because I in thought it would be a cooler alternative to iMovie and it seem more fun. It is definitely a good app but it has some issues… When you download the app it’s free but you have to pay for everything else you use in side the app. I don’t particularly like this about the app because I don’t really tend to like spending money on games and stuff like that. Well, overall this app is amazing and I would recommend it to everyone looking use it (if you’re willing to pay some money)!

Easy edits but the glitches will drive you nuts!
I prefer editing videos in Splice over CapCut, I find it easier to use however the glitches are a deal breaker! When you snip a clip it’ll randomly add a flash of black screen to the clip. The most frustrating glitch is when you spend HOURS editing a video, then go to export and Splice tells you it can’t be exported OR it’ll just freeze whilst exporting so you’ve just wasted hours of editing for nothing. Can’t even screen record to try salvage the video because of the icons at the bottom of the screen with no option to hide them whilst previewing. If Splice fixes these glitches it would be great! But honestly, after spending hours editing a video for a brand, to now not even be able to export it and save it, I’m deleting Splice and only using CapCut. It’s too unreliable.

Animated text options lag behind other apps
Great app, super fast turnaround for turning a bunch of photographs and short videos into a reel with the app able to automatically insert transitions, music and image animation (Ken burns effect) to all images straight away before you even have to start editing!
Recent addition of animate text is great but there doesn’t seem to be any option to customise the animated text (as you can with still text) by changing the colour and adding a label to make it stand out. Is white text with no background label really the only option for animated text because that’s basically unusable - it’s unreadable against most video backgrounds.
Normal text is customisable but can’t be animated. What’s the deal? Inshot has this nailed.
So I wish I could say Splice is a one-stop shop for all my needs but currently I’m using it for some things then exporting my video half-finished and adding animated text using InShot. If you can update this feature then I wouldn’t need any other apps and it would be much more convenient!
2023-11-18
CAREFUL OF CHARGES. DO NOT USE.
Open letter to SPLICE:
Dear Support Team,
I am writing to express my extreme dissatisfaction. I demand an immediate refund for every single cent that has been charged to my account.
If you fail to comply with my request for a full refund, let me make it abundantly clear that I will not hesitate to take this matter to the police and expose your shady auto-renewal system. You have not made it at all east for me to cancel this service, nor have you contacted me in any way to advise of the charges being charged WEEKKY! There has been zero contact, only multiple charges!
I am well aware of the severe consequences faced by individuals and companies engaging in these auto-renewal activities. I strongly encourage you to seriously consider the potential ramifications of your actions.
I demand an immediate response to this matter. Failure to do so will only further encourage me in my pursuit, as I will not hesitate to bring the full force of the law upon you and initiate a thorough investigation into your services.
I trust that you comprehend the gravity of this situation. Time is of the essence, and I expect a prompt resolution to this matter. Refunding the entirety of the charges and rectifying this gross misconduct is the minimal response I anticipate.
Yours sincerely,
Karina Wright

WAS my favourite video editing app
Have been using this for so long and have loved it. Was the easiest to use and the best. BUT now they are moving heaps of features (almost all) to the premium paid only version. Even the simple transitions I’ve always used. Pretty disappointing as a long time user. Will be looking at using a different app now as there is no way I can afford the high ongoing subscription cost for just basic editing.
Editing my review again as now after another update I can’t even add my own saved and purchased iTunes music to the videos!
I no longer rate this app at all. Do not recommend it unless you plan on spending money on an ongoing subscription. Don’t bother believing it’s free. Will be deleting this app now and finding another.
2023-08-20
Very disappointing after years of using this app and recommending it!
Had my iCloud do an update and although your app says it “saves” the pieces your working on- it actually doesn’t save anything. I’d previously closed and saved my work but after hours of working on a project and all that was left was a message saying “media has been deleted”. Had to start from scratch. Why would you state every time we close the app that it’s saving our work if it isn’t? And if that’s not actually happening why does it take a few minutes to “save and close” each time we use it? What the hell is it actually doing? pretty lame guys. I’m very disappointed. Oh also there is no way to even retrieve the older “saved” versions so it isn’t obviously saving at all.
2023-08-05
Great app, just don’t change your phone
I love Splice! It’s my go to for video editing on my phone. The one downside is every time I change my phone, or even keep the same phone but restore from a backup, I lose all my work. The projects are there but they all say the source files are missing, even though they’re still there on my phone. I’m not sure why the links would have been broken, given it’s been restored from a backup so nothing should have changed?
2023-06-28
Bug fix
I can’t upload a video. All my videos are blank. I try & enter “contact support” however nothing happens. I usually love this app highly recommend. This is just a glitch but not being able to contact support the only way I can get help is via reviews. Overall - This is the first time I’ve had issues. This app is great for creators that are new to editing or want a app that is easy & not complicated.
2023-04-18
It had to come some time. No longer free 😞
I have been using this app for many years. It’s super quick to learn with some cool features and filters which new features are added with regular updates. It’s my go to app to edit my GoPro footage when travelling over a few wines
Disappointingly it’s no longer free and I guess that was inevitable. Unfortunately it’s gone from free to very expensive even for the yearly fee. Though you can use the app with standard functionality for free, you can’t export it which makes it pointless. Unless I am missing something?
So, for me I’ll just being signing up when travelling and using the GoPro a lot and miss using it in between.
2023-04-12
My Positive/Honest Review:
Splice is an app that I have been familiar with since the age of 12 and I have always enjoyed editing and making videos with their software. There are moments when the app can be quite difficult to use and doesn’t work properly which can make it quite stressful for me when a project doesn’t save properly, but most of the time the Splice team are able to help me out in one way or another to resolve issues I have at play. I am most familiar with Splice over other video editing apps and the Splice team are good at getting onto issues which is why overall I give the app a 4 star rating out of 5. Splice overall in my mind is a great mobile video editing app!
Yours sincerely, Retro John :)
2023-03-21
Not sure
There are still bugs and problems are present in Splice suite. For example, the most recent one is with the volume which appears to sound low. But when you increase it and export the project the sound is far too loud. In the past, there are problems with VoiceOver recording (audio recording options) not sounding right and overlapping each other. Also the price increase coming up is almost double the current, from $10 to $18. That’s too much. Perhaps you could have altered by few dollars. In today’s problematic economy it impacts the user too much. Especially for software that still presents glitches.
2022-10-03
This practically deletes all your work for no reason
I’ve had this app for a while it worked fine so I bought the premium subscription yearly, and not even a week later I find that all my projects, EVERY SINGLE ONE, has “missing assets” this is clearly an app bug since all my media that I’ve imported into my projects is still in my camera roll I don’t have storage optimisation on iCloud turned on so I don’t see what the problem is! I’ve tried restarting, refreshing and importing the same media in a new project on the app but nothing is working. I’ve put so many hours into this app PLEASE FIX THIS “missing assets” ISSUE!
2022-09-11
Does what I need, highly recommend
Was a pretty stoked with the app and how many features are available on the free version. When I tried to save my second video I was told I needed to upgrade to a subscription.
Initially disappointed but I had all this footage so figured I’d take up the free trial and cancel if I wasn’t happy with it. I can safely say that I’m very happy, indeed!!! This app has everything I need as a beginner creator, but can’t speak for the more experienced.
The text animations are not perfect but the typed text is fine. I’m sure there are a lot of features I still haven’t explored as well.

Wonderful video editing app
I’m by no means a professional video editor but when the time came and I found myself needing to create a few videos on my phone I came to splice and it has not let me down! You can overlay photos and text, the app is so user friendly and there’s a variety of options for almost all the things you could want to do to a video. Will definitely be using again when I need to edit more videos
2022-03-01
Problem I am having
So generally I think this app is great, love the editing and after using it for a few years I have become heavily accustomed to it which is why not so long ago I became very confused. You see normally you would open up the project (edit) that your currently working on but for some reason when I would open up my project it wouldn’t work.
And as wouldn’t work I mean instead of not loading it would just completely crash my device and I know this issue is most likely not my devices fault since I have an IPad Pro 12.9 inch. So if someone from Splice could reach out to me so we can resolve this bug I am having I’d love that.
2021-12-17
Great app
I think most people writing comments here need to update their phones! Works great for me on iPhone 3GS 32GB iOS 5.1 update. You can trim video and music, can mix multiple tracks and movies or pics, it can slow and speed up video, you can add titles, save to gallery via the export button when finished and upload to face book from camera roll or use the app to upload to utube. It also has some color effects. The only bad point is you have to pay 4.95 to remove adds and individually pay for upgrade packs such as sound effects. Oh and it is so easy to use! Just watch the how to vid it comes with.
2021-10-12
Really great but...
So I’ve been using Splice for almost two months now and I really love it! There are so many options and such a great variety of tools to use without having to even pay for. Except, when Ive clicked the download button the video downloads, except for today. When I went to download the video I was finished with it told me that I had to pay for the pro version. Ultimately I’ve very confused as I’ve downloaded multiple videos before and it never said anything like this.
Is this a bug or will I have to pay to continue to use this app?
All around though it is a very good editing software
2021-10-06
Editing
It has changed since I last used it was great then and now I cannot see how to cut out the original background noise of video and only have music playing? Also when the clip ends it keeps running on black screen and music and no where to cut film or snip, the previous version had editing lists of what you had done and was easily used this has been oversimplified and made harder to use because you have removed a lot of the controls needed

Beware — you might lose your content without warning
As an early adopter of this app I had been enjoying free access (which is often the case for early adopters of apps, who essentially help apps succeed by getting the word out). However, this week - without any warning - they revoked my access and I lost all my content (I was in the middle of working on projects). I received no notification and had to enquire with customer service. (I’d also like to note that I had two previous enquiries over the last year for other matters — which I receive zero response to!)
Reading through the reviews, it seems a lot of people have lost their content (in different ways — not just early adopters) and they’re basically told ‘sorry, can’t get it back’.
The app is good — but I value customer service just as much... especially if you’re going to make me pay a monthly fee. This all feels a bit greedy and gross.

Audio issues 🙄
When adding music you can no longer choose a specific part of the song that you want. in this new update you’ve made it difficult to move the audio bars in order to select a small section of the song. Previously this option would come up first as soon as you chose a song from your library. Anyway you could fix that or return to its original form. Thankyou

My review
So far I am really enjoyed the game although only got to recently it definitely reminds me of iMovie but it’s very different and help you with different audios and can literally keep your memory say forever I really enjoy this app but there’s one thing that I would like to change.I wish that it wouldn’t at the start ask so many questions it ask what you like to share or sometimes like why are you here are you daily basics but I I’m not sure it’s your opinion but my opinion is kind of weird I know they’re only asking on how you know technology and does which is really helpful by the way it it shows you at the start some things and some features that you could learn and I think that’s really good but so far that’s my review I hope you take your time to read mine because you’re stupid if you haven’t like played it before this is mine byeeee

Great👌🏼
I use Splice every time I need to “up” the quality of my content quickly. It’s super intuitive, very simple and easy to use and the best video editing app for an iPhone that I’ve come across. They’re constantly updating their software, adding new features and functions and have a huge range of non-copyright sounds and tracks to choose from that allow you to easily and effortlessly turn your boring old videos into something engaging and interesting. Thanks Splice! You guys are great!😁

Best and worst
I must have downloaded the app to my phone years ago back when it was free and amazing. It’s everything I need in a simple on the go video editor. Recently I needed to edit something on my iPad so I downloaded it there and came to find that almost EVERY feature is now a pro feature, and there’s only a weekly subscription. Which is insane for what it is. For some reason my phone version still lets me use all the features with no issues so I’ll keep using it there for as long as it I’m able.
I guess it all happened because of the acquisition. Everything I love eventually gets acquired and gets worse so I should have seen it coming. I understand the need for a paid tier to keep supporting it, but to take away almost EVERY function makes it no longer the same app selling the promise of pro functions for free. Not having a yearly or monthly subscription option also feels very sinister. I guess jumping from free to $20 a month looked like too much of a leap on paper. Also are they banking on people not reading the “weekly” part?

DONT WASTE YOUR TIME! 😒
Ok. So most reviews say it’s good or okay and that’s what made me want to download the app in the first place. But after trying it out, I realised how much of a waste of time it is. My reasons?
1. About 90% of the elements have to be payed for and the app doesn’t warn you about paying. Otherwise if you figure out with ones don’t need to be paid for, then you end up with a simple, plain video without all the cool features it advertises.
2. If you accidentally use one of the premium features, then you CANNOT save it. I wasted so much time using the features that they didn’t say had to be payed for, and I ended up with no video after all my hard work.
3. The advertisements make this app look AMAZING, and it even tricked my friend into getting it for a school project! I had to immediately warn them otherwise they would’ve wasted SOO much time. Also, this app ended up on the TOP of a list for the best free apps for editing videos on mobile. WHAT?!
There are better apps out there, so my advice is to maybe try Inshot.
Hope you found this review helpful!

Love the app Just one problem
Can you have a landscape mode? I know It’s not much I am on IPad. I used to use a software called IMovie and It just didn’t get to me. I’m using this to edit videos and whenever I go to the home screen, It is always in portrait mode. But when you go to editing mode it goes to Landscape. Can you please fix this?
I know it’s not much but It will be a great help, and a great improvement for the app. And I’ll considered this to be my editing tool over IMovie. But I just use the free version.
I love the app and I’ll continue to use it. 😁👍

Won’t change the volume
I’m making a short film on here. I put the volume on a song low and recordings of voices high so you can hear the voices clearly and have song in the background. However the volume won’t change, the song is not changing to low and still remains loud I even put the volume on zero and it’s still loud like it’s on 100 still. This project is 5 minutes long, I started new projects just to test out the volume and it does change when I put it on high then low. But I feel like because this video is over 5 minutes long which is quite a lot of data for an app it’s starting to glitch. Maybe editing a video over 5 minutes long wasn’t a good idea for this app, it’s starting to glitch now and won’t change the volume. Quite frustrating

Use to be excellent
Ive been a long time user of this app and it was a very intuitive and user friendly app. I made MANY of good videos with it straight from my phone.
Recently, I’ve felt like smashing my phone. It is now far from intuitive, it’s very frustrating, I insert tiles and it doesn’t happen where I am, difficult to grab and move around edits. I am far beyond disappointed. I don’t understand how people are paid to mess with things so far beyond their original and working state that it becomes something totally different and frustrating!!
Seriously!! This use to be an amazing app, now it seems that all control is taken away, it’s a lot of guess work with no direction. The intentions I have are actively hindered. I try to insert tiles, music etc and every time it happens at the same point and not where I want it!!! Beyond frustrating!!! I’ve been messing around with it for a while and it is absolutely dismal now!!!

I CAN NOT ADD ANY PHOTOS OR MUSIC WHAT THE FLIP
I am trying to add photos but it is Coming up with something didn’t work I even looked in my settings to see what the problem was NOTHING WAS THE PROBLEM and any time I try to use my music it then say something failed I would suggest not to get this app it is only letting me use videos NOT PHOTOS LIKE WHAT THE FLIP I AM TRYING TO MAKE A GACHA HERE LIKE HELLO Making my story of Gacha is so much important to me Because I’ve been making gachas for amalong time.
Well it is pretty good with the videos just NOT THE PHOTOS That’s why I gave it 2 stars it’s also pretty glitchy for me but the thing that I sort of do you like about this is adding videos JUST NOT PHOTS I tried everything to add photos JUST IT DID NOT WORK AND THE MUSIC FIX THE MUSIC AND PHOTOS I NEED TO MAKE MY GACHA NOWWWWW.

Unnecessarily frustrating interface
I want to use this app to record music covers, and I need to be able to line up the audio of the song with the cover I am performing. For no sensible reason you can only trim or move the song when you first import it, which means I have to guess to the millisecond where to crop the song, if I want another attempt I have to delete the song and import it again. If there is a better way to do this the interface offers no hints as to how, I have tapped, dragged and held down on every button on screen but can’t figure out a way to make it work. If this was free software it would be one thing, but asking $5 a WEEK? Kind of insulting.

$5 a week just to export video
Found out about splice about a year back and have completed a lot of awesome projects with it. Honestly one of my favourite vídeo editing apps. Used to be my only favourite one but it’s gone downhill recently that caused me to have to resort to other apps to finish the work.
1. App crashes way too often, can’t handle a lot of effects being put in 1 project
2. Understandable if we need to pay for some premium features like special effects or filters, but having to pay $5/week just to be able to export a video with both footage and music is a bit much. Like others said $5 a month is more reasonable
Hope you fix these problems because I hope I can still support and work with this app in the future

My previous rating was 5 ⭐️
I have been using this app for well over a year now and have just recently started to have some troubles. I’ve saved many videos (doing the same things and using the same methods as now) and they have worked perfectly without a hitch! BUT the last month or so, even with multiple updates, the app has stopped working smoothly. Either there are new bugs or the way you use the app has changed and the transition is not very good. I can’t save videos in high quality anymore (60fps/1080) and the music/audio pops regularly and there isn’t a way to fix it... not without deleting the entire recording and taping it again. Which doesn’t always make it better. The app still has many good points, like easy editing and a great range of tools for free. It’s just not any use being good if I can’t export my videos lol.
Thanks! 😊
Please feel free to reply to me email as well!

It’s is Great but...
The app is an overall great app!! I love it and it is definitely one of the best editing apps I’ve had. Ever since its recently updated it self with out any notice, every time I try to edit or make a new video, it says allow camera access.
So I click yes or whatever it is, and it brings you into settings. But setting doesn’t have a thing in my phone that says blah blah camera access button. So I’m really confused on how to do it and now I can’t make any videos because I don’t know how to put on camera access!!! Can some one plz help me because I need to make more vids! But overall your App is great and I would definitely recommend it!!👍🏻

WARNING: UPDATE HAS LESS FEATURES
I used Splice for years as my go to video editor but after the update it’s useless to me. I am no longer able to edit music in my clips efficiently, the music waveform display is now gone and There are no music layers. Instead, the audio files just stack on top of each other in one layer which is pointless.
Adding and trimming multiple clips is now more difficult and tedious, after playing with it for a few minutes I can’t even figure out how to trim clips. The prior version was significantly more user friendly, quick and simple to use.
I used to swear by this app and recommended it to multiple people but now i’m forced to download and use an alternative that does everything this app used to do and more.
2019-07-28
Overall good but one problem
I think the user friendly update of Splice was great, but there is one problem. After the update I quickly noticed most of the music choices were gone, and most of the new ones were really short/not that good. I really like how it is sorted by mood though. Another thing I noticed was that the sound effects were also compromised after the update. Many of the sound effects were removed (tv static for example). Hopefully this will change with updates but I still think the update was good with a new look and easy to use interface.
2019-07-21
Almost perfect
Really simple to use and you can dive straight in to make great videos. I personally preferred the old design but can understand the desire to tinker and tweak
One bug/feature since the big redesign keeping this from reaching 5 stars is that when you add music the video suddenly lengthens to match the track, rather than the audio snipping automatically to match the video like it used to. I haven’t yet found a setting to change this back so assume this is just the way of the world now. Annoying but not serious, but reduces the previous 5 star simplicity

A good film editor but
It’s a good film editor but screen recordings don’t have any audio, just like iMovie and we all know how they are now. One of the main reasons Splice became so popular is because screen recordings used to have sound on it opposed to iMovie having a glitch that muted screen recordings and now the biggest reason this app was so good is now completely gone and competition could easily overtake. I wish this information will be used to not only satisfy countless users and up total ratings. But it will also keep this app in the spotlight and will stop people from abandoning it and using a different app which can do the same things that this app used to be able to do. The crop feature is nice though, maybe add a green screen layer for more complex editing.

Best editing app on IOS
When I first downloaded this app I thought it would be like all the other editing apps on IOS and you would need to pay to use, but when I found out it was free, I was really impressed with it. This was before the user-friendly update came out that made the app(in my opinion) the best free to use editing app on iOS, maybe even better than most of the pay to use editing apps. I like the last update so much because it had(and added in) all the features I needed and wanted in an editing app for free e.g. video merging, easy cutting and trimming, able to add text and user friendliness. Overall an amazing app. 10/10!

Can’t upload music from ITunes 😡
The app is good in the sense where you can upload as many photos and videos as you like and put each in the order that you’d like however there were a few problems that I faced:
1. I had selected roughly 300 photos and was almost about finished (which took me so long to do in the first place) then I went out of the app to reply to a text message and when I came back to app it had crashed and I had to restart. (I didn’t close the app at all I just clicked into my messages for 2 seconds and came back). This infuriated me.
2. It says in the audio support that you can import music from your iTunes however you can’t. I have tried so many different songs that I have. I have tried to close the app and restart it. I have tried to restart my phone (which I have the latest iPhone so I’m sure that my phone shouldn’t be the problem). So I now cannot upload any music whatsoever. This reason is also because the music from the app is very old and boring and to be fair I couldn’t recognise a single song on there.
3. Exporting the video (saving it to your device) can be quite slow sometimes but still decent. I don’t mind it but if there was music in the video it’d make the wait worth while. 🙄
I would recommend the app to friends but only if you don’t mind a soundless video or if you want to use the crappy music they offer.
Overall is a decent app but should fix the music part. At least update your music to have a few popular songs.
Thanks.

😐
It’s a very good app. There’s unlimited pictures FREE music. It’s really good. But I have like literally 6 apps on my phone and not very much pictures or videos I only have like 10 videos and photos on my phone and it’s like “You don’t have enough storage.” It’s really annoying me right now I even updated my phone and it still said it. I eventually deleted 2 of my apps and it still didn’t work. It never used to be like that. On my iPad I used to have so many apps and photos and I never had a problem. It’s only now that soon the “big update” is coming that it’s doing it and it’s so annoying. I’m trying to edit a video for my sister for her channel and it’s annoying me it’s the only editor that’s good and has free music and unlimited pictures. But yet it still be’s stupid.

Close to paid software! Amazing for free!
This software is great for quick mobile editing of footage that surpasses iMovie’s jumpy interface. I love the feature where you can scrub through footage to find highlights, much like Adobe Premiere Pro. I also love the text options and how you can place text anyway on the screen, anyway! Lastly, my favourite feature of this free app is good quality music!! Very hard to get access to great audio tracks for free!!
My suggestions for improvements would be to add fade in/fade out options for video so that the video starts from and end with black. Adding an option to export to 4K would be nice since most phones can now capture in 4K. Scrubbing through the timeline is a bit tricky if you’re trying to make precise cuts, which it seems this app is not designed for. But having a line that runs over the timeline and adding a “split video” option at the timeline playhead would be an awesome addition.
Seriously though, I’ll be using this app for my on the fly edits! Thanks guys and gals!

Easy Az!
I’m only an amateur but I loved this app. Photos easily uploaded and able to shuffle their order. Voice recording clear. Every editing tool needed available (speed up, slow down, panning, mute, cutting, texting, filters, etc.) I was able to layer the audio clips over the music and include sound effects, which sound awesome! Only issue I had was not being able to rearrange the order of the audio clips (had to delete audio then re-record in new position). I haven’t tried sharing my video yet but it looks amazing on Splice. Fingers crossed it works 🤞🏼

Good Free App does everything I want
My first go at making a video. So far have made one compilation of 16 photos with music and sound effects, title, custom fade. I also initially had the problem that it would not add my photos after I had selected them but I think it was because I tried to load too many at once (30). As soon as I started with fewer (12) and only loaded a few at a time it was ok. Have tried to load apple app but a huge file would not even load on my 16gb ipad. Splice is a tiny fraction of the size but does everything I need. I like this app. Would like to be able to hear the music before loading especially as, once loaded, you cannot delete. One thing that I hate is the black background with very low contrast to delineate parts of the screen and with tiny white labelling. It is very hard to find the tabs. An option to have say grey text on a white background would be much appreciated. Thanks for the great free app otherwise.
