InStories Reels & Story Maker Reviews

by KML1977may

It is misleading to state you are giving a customer a three day free trial. Trial is a deciding period that comes without attachments. Furthermore I was charged for a year subscription twice. I am being charged twice and InStoriesReelsStoryMaker doesn’t seem to be working at all. It won’t upload videos. I’m very concerned that my email account . I am very concerned that the email located on your home page reads as not a valid email when I try to reach out for help. This seems like it my be a decent app and you are experiencing problems, but you really need to work with me and then I will change my rating here.

I used to use InStoriesReelsStoryMaker, and it worked fine before but since getting back on it and getting a subscription that I started the three day trial I’m so glad I did that first because the whole app is messed up I can’t make any stories or posts or anything it keeps bringing me back to choosing a template and a picture no matter what I click on it will keep re-popping back up it won’t let me even go to my profile or anything I’ve deleted and re-downloaded InStoriesReelsStoryMaker to see if that would fix anything and it still doing the same thing.
I like what InStoriesReelsStoryMaker offers but if it’s not working properly I can’t do anything with it. Subscription canceled now. 😕

I would definitely NOT RECOMMEND you to utilize InStoriesReelsStoryMaker because of their pocket unfriendliness to the premium users.
I have been using InStoriesReelsStoryMaker for more than a year, but just in one year the prices escalated tremendously to a point of almost doubling. They justify the high prices to improvements but I believe this is not fair because not every improvement should be translated into higher prices. Their price increase is just CONTINUOUS!!!
There are cheaper apps that offer similar services with good quality that you may consider especially if u intend to have a longer subscription !!!

Absolutely horrible app! I was so excited to utitilize its features after seeing what my peers have been able to create with it. HOWEVER, I’ve redownloaded InStoriesReelsStoryMaker FOUR separate times and restarted my phone multiple times to use InStoriesReelsStoryMaker, but this window suggesting templates WILL NOT stop popping up. Regardless of how many times, I tap Cancel on the tab, IT WILL NOT GO AWAY. This is absolutely ridiculous. I’ve gone through my settings to try different things as well such as disabling and enabling notifications, allowing all access to photos and limiting it, etc. Absolutely nothing seems to work and I’m extremely upset. 0/5 Stars from me. I would include a screenshot video if I could.

InStoriesReelsStoryMaker is honestly mediocre at best. There are basically no free templates available. You have to pay for an incredibly expensive subscription to get any of the good ones. I understand the developers have to make money but they should at least give more features to non pro users. Not everyone has the money to pay for an outrageous subscription just for pretty basic designs. I know of other apps for making Instagram stories and graphic design that can do the same thing (if not 10x better) FOR FREE. I honestly think marketing InStoriesReelsStoryMaker as “free” in InStoriesReelsStoryMaker Store is a low key scam. Also InStoriesReelsStoryMaker is unnecessarily confusing to use. It won’t let you make your own design without forcing you to use one of their templates. Again I can name several other apps that are more user friendly, offer more free version features, are fully customizable, and are just overall so much better. I’ll be sticking with those apps, thank you. Tbh don’t even waste your time downloading InStoriesReelsStoryMaker.

I just downloaded InStoriesReelsStoryMaker today and really like the features! Unfortunately, despite having the most recent version of InStoriesReelsStoryMaker , the most recent update, and the most recent model of iPhone... InStoriesReelsStoryMaker force closes constantly. It’s impossible to export anything. Force closed at 40%, tried again and it force closed at 60%...so on and so on. I tried at least a dozen times and then to add insult to injury it started force closing on me while I was editing in InStoriesReelsStoryMaker as well. Extremely frustrating! The edits look great and it’s easy to navigate, but unfortunately the glitches just make it a waste of time since you can’t download anything. Hopefully something that can be fixed, but I’m the meantime I’ll be looking for an alternative app that functions properly.

InStoriesReelsStoryMaker used to work seamlessly before the recent update. Decided to sign up today with a 3 day trial. But after coming across these bugs, I’m going to skip subscription for now until these issues are fixed.

A note to the developer , I noticed now InStoriesReelsStoryMaker sometimes freezes when you upload a photo / video. I had to force quit InStoriesReelsStoryMaker a few times and to relaunch it to bypass the freeze. It used to work without a problem.

Also, one of the stock vídeo is not playing back in the final exported video. To be specific which vídeo I’m referring to, it is the “2020” stock video of gold candles and a pink background when a hand repositions the candle. On the exported video, the stock vídeo is not moving. It shows moving in the preview, however, it doesn’t move after exporting to the camera roll. I tested it out with a different stock vídeo and it worked fine, just not with the 2020 candle video.

I really like the Wishlist template with the red background and 3 circles. I like that you can move all the elements on the page, however, you can’t move the circle around the image/video. Can you please allow for the circles to be moved and/or deleted.

There’s a lot to like about Instories. It has some great text animations and allows for a lot of customization of it’s templates. I also love that I can import fonts and brand logos. On the other hand, InStoriesReelsStoryMaker suffers from a serious glitch that undercuts a lot of its value: saved work often disappears forcing the user to start from scratch. This has happened to me again and again, and the only solution I can find is to just finish and export the project all in one go, and not rely on saved files. Once this serious flaw gets fixed InStoriesReelsStoryMaker will be worthy of five stars.

This is a great app! I’m a blogger moving into the web stories and Pinterest stories space. This tool has cool graphics design and movement tools, but I need two things for it to be worth the dough.
1. Export as mp4 (not QuickTime movie)
2. Control file size - web stories and servers won’t take 1080p and it loads slowly for users. I need 720p.

Let me know if you’d like to chat more about my specific use case. None of my blogger friends have a good tool, this could meet a huge need.

by ProfessorHines

This is a very amazing app for producing some wonderful Instagram stories, but InStoriesReelsStoryMaker is consistently having bugs and I find that unacceptable for such an expensive app. I now only keep one of my devices updated and use an older version on the other that still actually works. Adequate testing of updates before release is something they need to work on, because it’s what’s killing my enjoyment of InStoriesReelsStoryMaker.

by @jessicajoycem

I really enjoy InStoriesReelsStoryMaker! It allows users to make their stories more appealing and unique. What was once exclusively done with apps like photoshop and premiere has now been simplified and accessible to everyday users! It’s great stuff! My only suggestion for developers and (something future users should take note of) has to do with the limitation on customizing content. Being able to delete and add photo boxes in each template would make InStoriesReelsStoryMaker a game changer. Also having the ability to adjust photo size and animation speed would be choice. I have tried numerous Instagram story editing apps and they all possess the same, or even more limitations. I have yet to come across an app with this many clean template options that also allow for customization! Please consider creating more ways for users to really own and create their own content. I will be suggesting InStoriesReelsStoryMaker on my social media pages to other creatives. I would love to see InStoriesReelsStoryMaker be #1 for Instagram story editors in the near future!

Very impressed with the caliber and quality of this application. I’ve only used it for a few days and I look forward to expanding this. I use this for my upscale high end wholesale gemstone business and a designer jewelry business I rep. There are so many poor, cheap apps out there but this is definitely NOT one of those! If you’re after the highest quality with incredible options (like being able to change the display ratio of images) just jump in and do it! The flexibility of this is unmatched from any other apps I’ve seen.

I strongly want to up my rating of 4 to 5 but I’d like to suggest to your tech department that you make InStoriesReelsStoryMaker sync between devices and definitely have it display horizontally on an iPad! By doing so you would absolutely OWN THIS SPACE! Your app is FAR SUPERIOR to any other out there and you would completely solidify your position in the market! I can almost guarantee that your subscription rate would probably double. Also if you were to expand and add the features of Planoly for posting and make this sync to a desktop it would be astounding! No one would be able to touch you! Thanks again for the nice app, and hopefully a great app in the future!

by Disciplehead

I’ve looked around for apps to help me grow my social media and this one is probably my favorite! I even decided to upgrade and subscribe to the monthly plan! And I never pay for apps, EVER! But this one is worth it! I use it several times a week to help promote my business and it gives that professional touch that I was missing! Love love love! I also love that new stuff comes out a lot for holidays etc! Keep the good stuff coming!

by Apparently All Names Are Taken

I NEVER pay for apps, this one was a must have even though free version was good, needed to upgrade to pro. The ads I’ve made through InStoriesReelsStoryMaker for my business- KarmaKittenCo have helped tremendously! Direct sales have been great! Could not ask for a better app, if you are thinking about it, honestly just do it, you will NOT regret it!

by MissyPoo12345

I use InStoriesReelsStoryMaker so much and pay for the pro version! I LOVE the templates and designs and music. My only issue is that when selecting images to use, it freezes when scrolling and I either have to scroll extremely slow or when that doesn’t work, just wait for it to unstick every couple of seconds. It’s the worst! I hope they provide an update to this! Most times I give up and sometimes head to another app!

by Aakello

So far - terrible app, three days if the trial were spent trying to at least load one pic , but app freezes constantly. Couldn’t do any stories wasted a very precious time, and couldn't cancel subscription ( that part is worked out without any bugs)
Trying to contact the developer about canceling the subscription :
No contacts, no valid email
Will contact AppStore with complaints and will cancel the credit card charges as not authorized.

by JadeJKB22

I love InStoriesReelsStoryMaker and have been using it since May 2020. I haven’t had an issue until the update and i can’t do anything on InStoriesReelsStoryMaker . It won’t allow me to do anything without the pop up of “what’s new”. I have deleted InStoriesReelsStoryMaker , uninstalled InStoriesReelsStoryMaker and turned off my phone. I can’t figure out why it’s not working. I use this for all my editing for my fitness videos. It’s SUPER frustrating. I don’t want to move to a new app since this PERFECT. Please respond and fix what’s happening. PLEASE

I have a paid annual subscription and I try to upload to my Instagram or save to my phone after 30 mins of making sure my screen doesn’t close still nothing happens but if I let my screen go black and cut it back on I see a check mark saying it went through but when I go check ...it not saved to my phone or uploaded to my Instagram!
Please help

Developers got back with me I just had to re start my phone
Now InStoriesReelsStoryMaker is wonderful love the templates very easy to use !

by Mufasie

I love all the template designs available and how easy they are to customize. I also love the wide variety of music options I can select from for my stories. IG took away the music sticker for business accounts but cut stories allows me to add music! So far IG hasn’t muted the music so Cut Stories has been a blessing to use! Thank you for this great app.

by D-E-S

I’ve been using InStoriesReelsStoryMaker for marketing videos for my business for the past couple of months and overall it’s awesome. However, this is the second time I’ve run into the issue of my videos not saving to my camera roll. It says saved on Instories but when I go look for it in my phone photos it’s not there. I’ve tried deleting InStoriesReelsStoryMaker and reinstalling but right now it’s still not working. If there is a solution, please let me know ASAP.
THANKS

There is no “free” version to InStoriesReelsStoryMaker. You download it and it immediately asks for your card info. There’s a free 3 day trial, but the fine print says that you have to cancel 24 hours before it “renews” automatically for a yearly subscription. You can’t try InStoriesReelsStoryMaker without giving them payment information. With the plethora of apps nowadays, this just seems dumb to me to not really give users an actual free version of InStoriesReelsStoryMaker or allow them to use it without committing to a purchase. And yes - giving out your payment info before trying the product is in a sense, committing to the payment.

by Jazzd828

I signed up for the trial which ends in 3 days
But before the 3days are even up, they charge you for the full subscription
When I went to Apple to report the problem it came back right away that they can’t do anything about.
In InStoriesReelsStoryMaker —it keeps asking you to go pro or ask for help there is not settings feature to go to and easily found how to cancel the trial period
Took me 1 hr before I even found that and by then I was already charged and subscribed through August 10, 2020 even though I found InStoriesReelsStoryMaker useless and not user friendly

by T.Chelly

I downloaded and purchased InStoriesReelsStoryMaker because of the music feature that isn’t available on my instagram. I’m disappointed because I paid for this months service and the music feature isn’t even working on the Instories App. Please fix the issue! It is very frustrating because I use InStoriesReelsStoryMaker a lot for business.

I love InStoriesReelsStoryMaker and will be willing to write an updated review once this issue is fixed.

by MyCreativeShots - Deb

I hate to leave a review here but I looked all over for a contact form or info to contact not on here. Couldn’t find one anywhere

Love the look and ease of InStoriesReelsStoryMaker but when I try to save the video, share or put on IG it crashes 1/4 if the way creating the video.

Did the pro version paid for a monthly. Hopefully this is fixed.

by Obiecoalman

After spending time making an awesome creative post I went to post it and the opacity editing and a few color edits disappeared and it ruined the whole thing so I went back and fixed it. I would pay for a full version but never pay for a subscription or anything even near a hundred dollars...despite all that it’s the best app that does what it does it’s just not even close to being worth even a fraction of the monthly rate...

by FacephucMcgee

InStoriesReelsStoryMaker is wonderful but the only problem I am facing is that fact that i am spending all this money but i cant choose a specific part of a song to use. Its just a 30 second clip of a random part of the song. It would be nice to have the option to choose which part of the song you can use.

by Vvmnv

This is a very beautifully made app. There is an option for a yearly subscription that is discounted but there are no discounts for the lifetime option. I don't believe in paying for any subscriptions so I usually go for a lifetime option if available. However, I don't use this religiously but would love to use it for life and the lifetime option is too expensive of an investment for what it's truly worth which are basically just several stories a month. I also am not interested in several of the themes available so I'd actually be happier if I could purchase only the themes I wanted for life. If you could pleaseeeeeeee discount the lifetime option or only provide options to purchase certain themes to save money, that would be GREAT!

Everything I’ve been wanting an app to accomplish for marketing. Being able to design on brand for multiple brands all in the same setting on my mobile is such a time saver/life saver. I think it’s so important as a designer to experience the design as the end user would on their mobile while I’m creating. Real progress in technology here. Good job developers and managers.

by Jr394

Today’s update has crashed me over 50 times as I have been trying to do something for work. It will not download/ export anything and continues to overheat my phone and crash.
Before this update, I’d give 5 stars right now solid 1 🤔... hope it gets fixed so I can give you a 5 star!

by Kev Nyce

InStoriesReelsStoryMaker has been a life saver from promoting events and streams to just telling a story using a few seconds of videos and pics! I loved InStoriesReelsStoryMaker from the time I tried it, and now that I’ve invested money into it it’s been my go to app for almost all my on the go promos and motion flyers. Thanks so much for InStoriesReelsStoryMaker it’s brilliant!

by Trying To Us

I hope to come on here and give it 5 stars. InStoriesReelsStoryMaker won’t allow me to upload photos. I gave permission to use my camera and when I click the plus sign to upload photos nothing comes up. It just sits there.

by Ma.c.Gee

My stories look really good. I wasn t a fan of using instagram stories before because Instagram doesn t give us many options to edit the pictures but now I ve been using it constantly because of InStoriesReelsStoryMaker.

by Wagnermrs

I would not be able to manage or enjoy Instagram for business as much as I do with InStoriesReelsStoryMaker. Instories has allowed me to save time and and money - and have fun. So many options. So easy to use and customize. Thank you for such an amazing app and keeping it update!
Fan for life. Now I need to remember to tag InStoriesReelsStoryMaker on my stories. That something I always forget.
