Boomerang Video Maker Reviews

I read one of the reviews that said if you don’t pay you can’t save a boomerang and it’s true you have to pay even when you don’t use any premium features just to save a simple video. BoomerangVideoMaker is trash. I wish it were better🤦🏻‍♀️

One of my least favorite things: an app that is free to download, appears like it will do what you need so go through the whole process of creating you video, only to find out your paywalled at the end and can’t do the one thing you needed to do without paying for some subscription.

I purchased the full price for BoomerangVideoMaker and now I can’t restore my purchases. Come on, I gave you guys a five star back then. Now, it’s down to a one star! Can you update it, so for the people that paid the full price can actually restore their purchases.

A year later I’ve lost the features and am being forced to pay to subscribe. To others experiencing the same, please Report this Scam/Fraud to Apple by scrolling down on BoomerangVideoMaker’s App Store Page and click “Report a Problem”.

I was trying to make a boomerang as soon as I got BoomerangVideoMaker and didn’t like how it turned out the first time, after trying to make a second attempt it already was asking for money. if I’m only going to be using BoomerangVideoMaker for this once it’s stupid to be paying.

What is the point of downloading this “free” app when you have to pay to save your videos? Wasted my time trying to make a video only to realize that it won’t let you get past the “boomerang pro” payment option.

Can’t unsubscribe through Apple settings. No way to adjust it in app. No in-app link to the website where you would unsubscribe. I’m not about to google the page and walk into a phishing attempt. I could name at least 3 other apps that offer the same if not more robust functionality. Absolute waste of time and money.

Can’t save without paying. Useless.

Update: I download BoomerangVideoMaker for the first time yesterday (May 31) The “save” button has a premium icon next to it. When you click on it, it asks you to pay. For me, being able to save, is a primary basic function, not premium in anyway. Don’t want me to use your app for free , just make it a paid app to begin with, instead of making me go through a bunch of screens and then put a pay wall up.

So let me get this straight many of us paid for a lifetime payment giving us access to all of the features now BoomerangVideoMaker is forcing people to subscribe weekly for something we’ve already paid this a rip-off either fix it for people who paid already or take this off BoomerangVideoMaker store cause this false advertising and a totally scam for customers and is there a way to contact the team

I downloaded BoomerangVideoMaker and they automatically subscribed me to their plan. I suspended it; however, they’ve been charging me $3.99 every 7 days for the last months. I haven’t opened BoomerangVideoMaker , nor use their service. When I realized they were still charging me, I suspended the subscription again, yet they are still taking money from my bank account. I’m absolutely upset and I feel robbed. App Store shouldn’t allow apps like this one

Not a lot of features but it works. You can use videos and Live Photos. There is also a camera where you can take videos live. No where to watch other videos.

Maybe boomerang doesn’t want me trying out the full features of BoomerangVideoMaker without committing to the entire year. There’s no way to free up room by deleting projects. 🤷‍♀️

User-Friendly- had a Boomerang in under 2 minutes from initial download.

I have found that nothing is ever easy with some of these apps… But this was! Thank you so much! Use it DAILY!!

I use for Instagram stories. I wish the output frame rate was smoother on the highest setting when choosing a time that is not exact multiple of the original clip.

It is pretty Good but it could be better. So what I like about it is I does make it loop . but
why I could be better is it could be free to all people

I have downloaded & played with numerous boomerang app for my videos. This one is by far the best & easiest to use. It also lets you view the finish product before you save it. Definitely a 5 star app.

I chose the 3 day trial because I only have 1 gif to make, but I won’t hesitate to subscribe if I need another gif at some point, just because BoomerangVideoMaker is so great. The subscription is 3.99 per week, which is definitely worth it if you post a lot on insta or pinterest. Details: BoomerangVideoMaker is pretty streamlined. When you open it you’re immediately choosing a video to edit, no menus to find your way through or anything, just right to the point. BoomerangVideoMaker doesn’t store previous edits, they’re saved directly to your phone, so there’s absolutely no clutter when choosing your next edit. You can only choose VIDEOS from your camera roll (not gifs). Or you can take a video in BoomerangVideoMaker with your camera. Pretty simple overall so you can get right into editing. After choosing your file, the next screen lets you trim the video. You can’t cut parts out of the middle, but you can choose where it starts and ends so you have precise control over what plays in the final gif/video. On the 3rd and final editing screen, you get a few nice options. You can choose for it to play forward, in reverse, or both (boomerang/bounce). You can also choose the precise speed, from very slo mo to very fast. Lastly you can choose how many times it repeats before the file technically restarts (useful if you’re saving it as a video). Those 3 editing screens go by pretty fast, and they work smoothly! The last screen is where you save and/or share it. You can save/share as a gif or video. It’s worth noting that you get to see your changes made in real-time through the whole process, which is super helpful. Overall it’s a good balance between simplistic and precise, so you can create something quickly while also making sure you get exactly what you want. I only made one boomerang gif, so I can’t tell you if there are any bugs. I didn’t experience any, and tbh I’d be surprised if there are bugs because BoomerangVideoMaker is pretty simple (in a good way). DEVS!!! A few things it could use to improve: 1) A small indicator somewhere on the screen, saying what the final video/gif length will be if it’s saved with the current settings. Nothing fancy, just a tiny “00:00” somewhere that updates in real time. BoomerangVideoMaker is perfect for creators, and often times the video length matters. The speed editing can change the file length a lot, so people would definitely benefit from the indicator. This is the only recommendation I’ll make for a UI addition because you have kept it really simple which is good. 2) Ability to choose export file type. This is a bit more technical but I don’t think BoomerangVideoMaker will feel any less streamlined if you add it. File type is super important for uploading certain things like profile pictures, which I guarantee is one of the main things your app is downloaded for. 3) Let us edit gifs from the camera roll! Even if only to quickly re-edit a gif we just made with your app, but also just editing any gif. This definitely feels like a part of BoomerangVideoMaker that’s missing. Besides those three things, I highly recommend that you keep BoomerangVideoMaker as simple and straightforward as it currently is! In the future I’ll probably just pay the $4 for a subscription even if I only need to make one gif. But ONLY because of how straightforward BoomerangVideoMaker is. No unnecessary bells and whistles, simple and responsive UI, getting straight to the point on the opening screen, etc. Keep it simple! Thanks devs :)

First app I see and it’s a good one, everyone should give it a try

It never worked, paid for it and it seems stuck or just doesn’t work at all. I clicked the video, picture button and nothing.
