Mojo: Captions & Reels Maker Reviews

by Philuana

I have a Pro subscription. I have used Mojo several times for creating social media ads. I would consider myself an experienced this app user. My app automatically updated and now I cannot get a multi-page video to save correctly. When it merges the multi-page video into one, it will not transition from the opening page to the next video. The audio continues to play, but the video freezes. I have now deleted this app and reinstalled it as a last resort measure. I have lost my entire library. I’d be very cautious of using Mojo as it is no longer reliable. I will gladly change this review to a 5 star if this egregious glitch can be fixed.

I absolutely loved this app. It was great for making cool Instagram stories for my highlights. However, lately I have been having some major issues with Mojo . When I go to add music and download a song using the iCloud feature, the song will not play out loud, so I can not choose where the song will start from. I like to choose very specific songs for my IG stories (usually that are not on IG already), so for me, this is a huge inconvenience. This hasn’t always been an issue. It has only been happening within the last 3 months. Also, there is a glitch when changing the length of the IG story. It is almost impossible to get the bar to stretch for 15 seconds. I have tried deleting Mojo then re-downloading it to fix these issues. Have tried using music from my Apple library to fix the sound issue. No luck at all. I have been a this app Premium member for a while now, and other than these two issues, I love Mojo . Just really hope these things get fixed.

Looks like a capable app but I couldn’t tell or test it out. Aside for a blank canvas for which I don’t need any app (use Instagram without nag screens, thank you), EACH & EVERY feature here requires subscription of at least $40 or $10/mo. That’s a little rich for me. As a business owner that rely on Instagram for revenue and spend money on it, I should be the perfect demographic for this. But all this “free download $40 to hit the on switch” nonsense smells greedy and scammy and tells me that after I pay $40 nothing inside would be free either. It’s probably designed to part with even more money building on the instinct of “already spent $40, what’s another few to *really* make it work? Or else my $40 was a waste”. Go screw some other gullible fellow. I would have been happy with a few serious free ones and then buying designs a-la-carte at $.50 each and believe me, you would have made $100/month with me this way.

I think Mojo has a ton of potential but the subscription cost is way overpriced based on key limitations. There is no undo button. There is also no way to sort page order. And I really wish nothing would animate while you’re working or looking at the file unless you push play. The free portion of Mojo is incredible. The other story template apps like Unfold are substantially more affordable, and their business model is based on buying a theme instead of a monthly subscription. So until they can get those missing functionalities built within Mojo I hesitate to spend anything when competing apps are a lot more intuitive and polished. However, I look forward to seeing the developers evolve Mojo further.

I don’t usually leave reviews but here’s mine. I got Mojo at the beginning of 2020 to help my curate a more cohesive theme for my stories and what not. I’ve had no issues with Mojo from that time as I knew I didn’t want want to spend the yearly subscription for templates I wouldn’t use. So I created my stories from scratch in Mojo .(FREEEEE!)
And well I thought that was great! “If you don’t want to pay for the subscription, then create the stories from scratch , right…” Eventually I started the monthly subscription and that was enough for me until I realized I wasn’t even using the features within the subscription, so I cancelled it. I said I guess it would be better if I created my stories from scratch again. Welll…. I was appalled!. Now I have to pay to create from scratch?!? What kind of logic is that!?! I get it y’all wanna make money but that is a low ball. It’s best you guys just make the entire app ‘paid for use’ call that the end of it ! Look at your competitor- Unfold. That’s all I’ll say

I have been paying and using this app for my small business for about a year now. It’s really suited for us small business owners who often have to wear multiple hats. BUT my BIGGEST two complaints are that I am (1) unable to use this on my laptop desktop. Such an accessibility issue, particularly for me and my disabilities, and (2) can only use it on my Apple ID, therefore unable to give login credentials to a team member so they can create for our company instead of me.

These limitations are huge and keep me constantly googling for a replacement to this program so I can stop paying for it. The templates are so lovely and it’s such a great concept - just wish these two issues were changed.

by Lonte2020

First let me start with I do actually love Mojo and how it helps my business. HOWEVER, I experience a lot of glitches/errors that had also hinder my ability to create content. I paid for a year long subscription, so I have a Pro account. I’m not able to upload media to the story templates. It always acts like it’s downloading and the glitches to where I can’t upload media. I have deleted Mojo multiple time and re download(I lose all my prior content arghhh) and then still not able to create content. I don’t want to unsubscribe because like I said I love what I’m able to do when it’s working. I hope someone can help figure out the glitches I experience.

I love using this app. I love the stories I can create for our company. I love that there are tons of options and I can customize for our brand standards, but it isn’t too overwhelming. Just right. HOWEVER... the stock videos are giving me a TERRIBLE time lately. I will go to upload one of their stock videos into a template and it will either crash my app or just nothing will happen. The video won’t load. It is frustrating and I’ve tried all the tips in the help center but there isn’t a way to easily reach customer service or send a suggestion via email. The other idea I think would be an AMAZING addition on an update sometime is to create a feature to help you time your videos to the slide timing of instagram stories and reels. Some sort of feature that tracks your total project duration for you so you don’t have to manually go through each slide and add up the durations and make sure you are sticking to under the total length of stories or reels. I am sure there is a way to make a very user friendly feature on Mojo that helps content creators IMMENSELY. All in all it is a great app - just could use some improvements.

by Michael Anthony Rullo

Love Mojo ! Works great and is very helpful for creating social media content. However, I just had a boosted post on Instagram be rejected because of not using the updated version of the Facebook app logo in my social card in the video. So, I open up this app to update it with the correct logo, and the only option is the one I already have - which is now outdated. Once Mojo has been updated to include the appropriate branded icons so we can actually use this for social media cards that pop-up in our videos - I will gladly restore my 5 star rating! Thank you all for Mojo though, it really has made things easy up till now.

Let me just start that I LOVE Mojo, it has helped me create fast and professional looking designs for my clients which is amazing! However, I only gave 4 stars because there needs to be more editable features. My clients are very particular about font spacing and it is impossible to animate and space the fonts out like I want to. Also, there needs to be some kind of feature where you can add pictures/media that isn’t a part of the template. Right now I am using the logo feature to add photos which doesn’t seem very user friendly. this app, please PLEASE give us the ability to kern fonts and to import media!! Other than that, Mojo is AMAZING, but it could be even better!!

Update: why I can add text without any animation?

I am extremely happy with this app app. First, the price and what you get is very fair. Second, it brought my stories into completely different level- It brings endless animation layouts (which is a great for the stories), than you can add text, music and stickers and set up their own timing. I am completely willing to pay for Mojo because it offers all I need.
Actually one more thing would be great. I discovered app "over". Which is really cool too because they have opt, like gold brushes etc and other graphic... I combine both this app and Over together: first in Over I create the template (add the frames, the gold brushes etc.) and Than I go to this app (cherry on the cake) to add the moving text, animation, music etc.
It's a great couple apps BUT wish that I could do all of this in one App instead of switching between two (plus Over is a bit disorganized and pricey.

I’ll just lead with this, it needs the ability to switch profiles just like Instagram! I have two different accounts with different logos and different styles, I don’t want to have to switch out the colors or switch devices to use settings saved for my other Instagram account it slows down the workflow a lot. Aside from that I do love Mojo with everything it has to offer I think it’s well worth the subscription. It’s the one app I’ve found to be incredibly helpful in adding a little extra sparkle or “wow” factor to my posts. I’ve been a content creator going on 5 years now. So tools like these are life savers for someone who only owns an iPhone and iPad Pro.
The templates are helpful and you can further customize the templates to your own unique variation of it with different Combos of text styles and animations. Kudos to the devs for making a wonderful app. The UI is easy enough to navigate and understand but I think it might benefit from a few little tutorial pop ups or like a help icon that tells you what things are or how to change something.

The latest update is such a bummer. They have a delete button that’s impossible to hit when you’re trying to adjust the image. Cannot get any work done. Another major disappointment is the LOGO feature doesn’t properly work. When you export the file, regardless of whether or not the you pull from the cloud, it exports blurry AF unless you blow it up full size. this app has so many great features and I want to recommend it to others but would love to see them fully figure this out.

by Mr Soville

I love Mojo a lot ! This is my go to app that I use when I want to apply animated text to my films. I really would like for you all to allow us to have the option to add our text to a transparent background so that we can export the animated into other film editing apps to use in our vlogs made on the iPad. Or if you would allow us to add video clips into Mojo which you already do but allow to add text throughout the full duration of the imported video clip. When i add my Video clips, it cuts my video clip off instead Allowing it to add texts throughout the whole clip.

by Iamjrdnpineda

Love Mojo , can we have the option to add our own stickers?
Also have the option to delete our fonts we uploaded ourselves? I accidentally uploaded the same font twice and want to get rid of the duplicate.
Also for the text transitions can we have the option of turning it off and simply leave the text effect? I want to use the the glowing text effect but don’t really care for the transition…I wish it had the option to turn it off or choose a different one.

I have been using Mojo for a half hour and I am not tech savvy and was able to Create a professional looking story to Instagram immediately. I wish there were more options to choose from with regards to templates. I also would like to switch between personal account templates and professional. It gives you the option once when you purchase membership but no option to switch Back and forth.

I been creating content on Mojo for over a year now. I manage 8 social media accounts and all my clients are happy with my work and creativity. Mojo has helped me run my business. If are good with photo and video taking that will be a huge plus because after using Mojo over and over you will be able to understand exactly the shots you need and automatically the template will come to mind. I have about 12 logos uploaded. Tons of great fonts. And great stock images...pro account obviously.

by Gamester Chick

I don’t generally write reviews. I click the stars and keep it moving lol! However, Mojo is so good for my business I had to take the time to recommend Mojo to ALL business owners! Makes advertising so easy! I loooovvvveeeee this! I had several other apps that you purchase the pro, and the templates never update. Well not this app they always updating with the latest templates. You must get Mojo. Must pay for Pro. The best 💃🏽

by Thatdudejayme

I’m not going to lie, I’ve had producers come back after a long run with their draws still to the floor! It’s incredibly simple even for those who can’t help a complex go at creative projects. That said, could a guy please get a moment to partner up? I know , I know, time time time — Sounds and feels to me like a fabulous time to embark on something wonderful.

Best,

Would love to see more emphasis on being able to stick a picture of your brand logo in a corner and have it be able to stay there throughout multiple slides without having to fade in/out every time. Please fix or help me understand if there is a way to fix this! I realize I could save the video and upload it again—but it wouldn’t work if the video was longer than 1 minute...

by DevonN16

I downloaded Mojo two months ago, and decided to upgrade to the Pro tier. It promised the ability to upload your own fonts. After multiple attempts, I reached out to their support staff. Three weeks and 8 emails (2 of which they responded to, after days/weeks of silence), they have still failed to provide a resolution. Don’t waste your time with this application and DONT UPGRADE TO PRO - they don’t care about helping their paying customers. I requested a refund from Apple. Mojo had a lot of promise but fails to deliver.

by TinaLax

I just purchased Mojo and recently bought a new phone right after the purchase.
I retrieved all of my old data from my old phone onto my new phone however this specific app is asking me to purchase my subscription again even when I still have my old previous content and still using the same Login information. I am not longer using the phone I initially purchased it on, but I am using the same Apple ID and log in information. Please advise.

by Dytjdyrjdyrjdtydk

No it’s not bad but I just purchased it and deleted in less than a minute ‘cause I simply don’t like apps in which you have 2 buy with money stuff to create the best stuff. I barely even have a few cents! Hey, some people r not rich, whoever made this! How in the world am I supposed to use ur app when I technically can’t do much stuff?! I hope u can stand on my shoes and understand how it feels; like if some people have many money and you don’t have even a dollar. Thank you for reading.

by Bebebeaux

Really great app also so fun to use! I’m only giving four stars because Mojo is SUPPOSED to allow me to link fonts i have stored in my Dropbox, but it will not authentic. I’ve tried every hack on the Internet and still no luck. I’ve emailed support a few times and received back a very odd and unclear response (perhaps English isn’t native language?) that did not resolve my issue of provide a solution. I’ve emailed three times now and still no help. Disappointing.

by Janeé Elaine

I LOVE Mojo. It has taken my content to a whole other level for social media. Resulting in more money and increased engagements altogether. The only downfall of Mojo which is a major one...when ever I try to export the video, it forces closes to a black screen and I then have to uninstall Mojo and reinstall. Sometimes even that doesn’t work. Other than that, when I can get the videos to export. It’s a GREAT app.

by Asassypoet

When I started my photography business Instagram page I wanted something original to use on my stories and even on my page! I love how user friendly it is. The adding of music & different font styles & colors. If you have a business, this app is the best app to take all your photography & videos and make them come together. I said I been was supposed to write this review but just saw the latest update & said oh no girl go write it now! I love it!

by Kiran Wright

I love Mojo! I started using it to design IG stories for a client and she LOVES the results!

I do hope to get more customization in the future such as an undo/redo button, the ability to freely move around or resize photos within a template, and the ability to insert certain lines and shapes on a timer (similarly to how you can insert text boxes). I think features like that could make the possibilities of Mojo limitless.

by MyloKylo

I downloaded Mojo because I wanted to make my Instagram stories a bit more professional looking. Turns out that this is one of the best apps I’ve ever used for my stories. There are so many templates to choose from, if you’re looking for something simple, flashy, business like or something that’s just cool, you’d find it here. I’m really glad I downloaded Mojo!

by JacksonDodd1997

Wow. Mojo is so good. So so good. Ive used so many other apps to make my instagram stories and promote my business, but this one blows the other ones out of the water. I can’t seem to find a single flaw with Mojo. I love it so much. It’s very similar to many other apps, but stands out due to the vast variety of fonts and different customizations. Please keep releasing more content and making new fonts and designs!

by Amfurlow

Mojo is incredible. It takes everything to the next level with little effort. Each story I post using this app at least one person messages me to ask what I used! Sometimes Mojo crashes- but I found as long as I don’t go overboard with videos and text in a single slide it does okay. Truly. Mojo is easy to use. Well worth the price for premium. Just outstanding!

by Muh4mm4d

This apps creates an amazing story presets like after effects. It can satisfy instagram content creators specially if they purchase the pro version of Mojo . Creating an animated story in the after effects almost takes 15 minutes but via this app you can create it in just a few minutes

by Amattox24

Mojo is the easiest version of a swipe up app I’ve used in awhile. It is so easy to navigate and the quality of the videos always look really nice. The best thing to do is to find the template that works for you and Mojo basically does the rest. Love it
