StoryZ: Animate Photo & AI Art Reviews

by Jawhie

I have three main gripes.
1) StoryZ downgrades the resolution of your image when you import it. Even though you pay to have the option to output 4K it doesn’t matter if the image you’re working with is blurry!
2) StoryZ limits the number of motion arrows and pins you can use. And I always hit that limit. So annoying to have to start strategically erasing pins to be able to use more.
3) Too much social media garbage that gets in the way of what StoryZ ’s main function is supposed to be. It shouldn’t be hard to find the primary function of your app!!

I have tried to contact your team about this issue and did not get the necessary support to fix the situation. Every month I’m being charged $3 something but It was supposed to be a ONE TIME payment of $40. It’s unfair that you have a great system to charge me, but not good support to fix this wrong charge. I like StoryZ and that’s why I paid for the premium version, but out of courtesy you should reimburse me the extra money you have charged me.

I signed up for a one year subscription and got locked out of my account due to a technical error. I have written them numerous times and they’ve yet to reply. They’ll gladly take your money but could care less when you experience technical issues. There’s no contact number to access a representative. Also, StoryZ crashes on a frequent basis. I’m only rating one star in order to write this review. Beware. Opt for Pixaloop. It has a much cleaner presentation and is a snap to use.

I’ve attempted to edit just a 1 min 20 video... and it crashed every time I tried to add/edit a simple overlay. When I finally did succeed in creating what I wanted 12 attempts later, it exported it with some statically VHS filter I DID NOT AT ALL add. It did this 3 times. I subscribed to their annual pro version and this is the crap I get on my first attempt... waste of time and money. Deserves NEGATIVE STARS

I use this a lot and it is good. Drawbacks include difficulty saving drafts and the challenge of making things move in a realistic way.
Your work is not saved automatically.
Also, if I build to big a file (use too many arrows) StoryZ crashes and does not save your work.

—from Westwood village reviews
The main reason for the two stars is that story Z has not kept up with pixaloop. I go back-and-forth among several apps. Pixaloop has continued to develop whereas this app seems to be relatively static. I’m looking forward to improvements from StoryZ which is, as has been mentioned, has terrific potential. And I agree with above that drafts are hard to save.

Videos look like a broken TV after processing and don’t even have the chosen FX half the time. I bought the membership specially for video FX but can’t even use them. They also removed full continuou rotation for pictures, now it only rotates back and forth. I also bought the membership exclusively for this photo effect.

I purchased the premium however every time I try to save my work it tells me to try Premium (which I already have). When i choose premium it tells me I already have it but that this app cannot connect to the iTunes Store. This is the only app I have this problem with. Everything else connects to the iTunes Store.

App keeps closing in the middle of me working on something and I lose everything only have one way to save as a draft and that’s only in the ripple section if I’m not mistaking also the image quality is horrible after I save it to my phone so it completely down grades the image quality smh and I should be able to do all 3 in one not separately

I’d give StoryZ 5 stars if you didn’t impose limitations on it. I subscribed to Lifetime use, all features unlocked. Imagine my disappointment to find that you are limited to 5 pulses on your animations. You are also limited to your so called Ripple motion effects. If I pay for something that supposedly unlocks all features, I expect to add limitless overlays, pulses, motion etc. When you change these limits, I’ll give you 5 stars.

by OKELAJ20

I would give it 5/5 but it doesn’t let me add my downloaded music so I have to use another app for that which is frustrating but overall it’s a lot of effects, animations to choose from and simple to use

by $$$ And Cents

I now give StoryZ five stars ! I had a problem that was promptly fixed and now its working flawlessly. I got a reply in a day and was fixed overnight. Thanks to the this app TEAM !

But like when I put I mean one I put a screenshot or make a screenshot I don’t see the picture show up but it’s still good

by MishRsux

We are really enjoying StoryZ so far. Great tons of free features and good tutorials to get you started. As with anything, practice will make perfect, but so far pretty intuitive. Can’t wait to see what great animations of our own Original art we are able to create with StoryZ.

by TenderWaters

StoryZ does everything I need it for. The tools for motion are great and the ability to mix parts of pic together (with a bit of screen shot shenanigans for deeper silliness) are fantastic.

by ReiVwEr

StoryZ does everything it says. There is minimal ads and gives excellent tutorials. Would highly recommend! Thank you developers!! 13/10 recommendation

by Kev36

StoryZ gives you everything you need. Your photos will be dazzling masterpieces. It it very easy to use you may want to upgrade but you will be so happy with the results.

Nice app! With it I made wonderful motion pics. But to be honest, as a Chinese user, I have to tell you many words in Chinese version is not correct... you may check it if you think it is important. Anyway I know some English so I can understand it roughly:)

I’m an artists, and I have been using StoryZ to animate all my drawings. I’v had StoryZ for 2 weeks and have already gained about 200 followers on a twitter because of StoryZ. Is so much fun to use and very easy. I do recommend unlocking the features your missing out on a lot of you don’t.

by Mustaha D

Story z is an amazing app. I usually use it to edit my picture. The most amazing feature I found on story z is the animation feature it allows you to make your picture come alive. Overall this is an amazing app I definitely recommend.

by Torpedo.B

so normally I’m the type of person to not make any reviews however, this app is the best app I’ve used for the plotagraph style art, and it should be the forefront for it

I have one issue however, I can’t get the add music gui to pop up on IOS 13 GM (golden master build), any workarounds to this?

by Quinn Lau

I actually bought StoryZ and spend money on it for it's services. However every time I make a ripple and try to save it, StoryZ gets stuck on the processing screen. I can't make anything because it won't save. I need my money back or this needs to be fixed.

by Suzettelrich

I like the effects of StoryZ . I’m giving it 3 stars because outside of being able to make a pic in video you can’t do anything else. Would love to see you guys add text effects to it, crop and longer music time.

by Pac Creations

I am enjoying using StoryZ!!!
this app allows me to go beyond my own creativity.
Magnificent Effects & Overlays. My imagination has no limits. I highly recommend StoryZ.
The price is just right, StoryZ does more Thank You for Sharing other apps.

by Sberonius
