PicPlayPost: Video Editor Reviews

by Sillywabbit

I paid for PicPlayPost YEARS AGO and I hardly ever used it! Now I actually wanted to use it for features I PAID FOR ALREADY and it’s been changed to a subscription service? Really? SMDH!! It’s not worth it. The free features are available on all apps similar to this one which is why I paid for PicPlayPost to unlock the split screen features YEARS AGO!!! It’s too many other apps out there to do what I need PicPlayPost to do for less than $99! The idea that they want you to pay $99 one time fee is shifty considering that I paid a “one-time fee” a long time ago when they were “small potatoes” and now they’re asking me to pay again? I mean who is to say that in a FEW MORE YEARS, I won’t have to PAY AGAIN?!! That’s bS!!! The fact that you can’t even hold these “app” companies responsible for things like this is sad which is why I won’t be spending anymore money with them. Buyer beware.

I have found a few apps that started to so what I needed it to, but again, the most basic tool for making a video of pictures is being able to extend the timing per slide. It states in the information, that if you subscribe, you can extend your videos to 30 minutes. That’s extensive, and I didn’t need that. But it lead me to think I could have some of my slides up for 20 seconds—I need it for a project I’m working on. Some of my pictures have text on them. And low and behold, after paying money, I find out the longest amount of time you can have is 7 seconds. Waste of money. Not much better than over apps. Cheap. It’s not that hard. I have edited photos with text. I just want an app to display them, with the function to be able to choose how long I need each one on the screen. Guess that’s too much to ask for at this time. Maybe in 2019.

I really do like PicPlayPost, but I make a lot of slide shows. When you upload from your device, that works great! But by my 4th of 5th slideshow project, I had almost 400 photos in PicPlayPost photos., you cannot delete them. And to make it worse, when you upload a new group of photos for a new project, it mixes them in with the already used photos! It’s not like they are at the beginning or the end, they are mixed throughout the 400 photos! It takes forever to try & pick out the new photos for the new project.

I even deleted all of my projects off PicPlayPost just so I could start fresh, but nope, I went to the photo section of PicPlayPost and they were all there. And now I cannot retrieve my past projects, I assumed they would stay saved to my photos.

Another issue is, every song I’ve tried to add from my downloaded music has the licensing issue. In other apps, I could at least find a few. What’s the point of offering uploaded music if I can’t get access?

Lastly, I did contact the company for help. They wrote back that that feature is not (yet?) available.

I am very unhappy, it has all of the makings for exactly what I want, but too many time wasting problems!!

I have mix feelings regarding PicPlayPost.
The free version is too limited to even take into account. I can understand the fact it doesn’t not offer 1080 resolution but the fact that it comes with a huge and ugly watermark turns it unusable.
The paid version is very good. Better than a lot of other apps for this purpose that I have tried before. But it still feels too expensive for what it offers. For the price of 6.99 a month I would expect not to need any additional apps, more color filters and some other features to make it more user friendly.
I really enjoyed using PicPlayPost for a while, but with no option in between that allows a user to unlock certain features (the watermark for example) for less money it’s hard for me to justify that spend with PicPlayPost as it is. Perhaps if they keep improving it, my view regarding the cost/benefit will change.

I ama social media manager, and I use PicPlayPost every day. It’s really useful for putting together nice videos and collages really quickly, and is intuitive to use. My only real complaint is that as an app that requires a monthly subscription to fully use, I wish they would add more commercially licensed music and update the transitions to keep things new. The music selection is extremely limited, so I usually have to take whatever I make in PicPlayPost to another app to add better music. Would be great to do it all in one app.
If you’re going to have people subscribing, and paying $4.99/month, you need to keep adding new things and keeping PicPlayPost fresh. Thanks!

by Gamelover❤️❤️😂

now dont get me wrong i loveee PicPlayPost but the transitions can be a little choppy. i wish the translations were smoother. we also need more transitions! some of the transitions are really ugly like the 2 step up, right, down, and left and the ccw square (the ccw square could be fixed by making it smoother). some suggestions i could make having a 3D transition section. for example one where the whole picture/video is flipped into the next picture/video in a black or picture filled backround (it can flip right left down and up), or having a cube full of 1-3 pictures and it spinning in the next picture/video on a black or another picture filled background. another idea i have is for the picture/video to zoom out spin the photo and have a choice of how far you want it to spin around (1°-360°) and then zoom back in and while its zooming back in change the photo. i make my “instagram” edits on here for people and i wanna make your and my content better! idk if the developers are gonna see this but if you do please consider these suggestions!❤️

PicPlayPost really came through in a pinch. I’d been using another app Flipagram, and was very disappointed to see that it’s no longer available. I downloaded a few different apps before I finally settled on this one. And I’m SO glad I did. It’s absolutely amazing!!! I created a slideshow with photos and videos and it came out perfect! I could easily add music and adjust the video audio and music audio! I just can’t rave enough about it! I thought my annual slideshow was doomed after the previous app disappeared but this one is way better!! I can’t wait for all to see it!!

Update: app is still great.. but once I exported the slideshow to my phone or usb, the volume is lower than it sounded in PicPlayPost . I hooked PicPlayPost up direct to the tv and it was louder inside PicPlayPost than we I viewed the version I saved on my phone. So I ended up having to play it direct from PicPlayPost for people to be able to hear, which reduced the viewing size of the pictures on the screen. Not quite was I was envisaging for the grand reveal of my slideshow at my daughters birthday party. Deducted one star.

I’ve now had about a month under my belt with PicPlayPost, and it’s a good solid app for my needs, which are mostly biz social media. It allows the average person to make quick, pro videos with ease, and on the go. Support is usually responsive and good to work with. So, great job on that! 👏🏻 A couple of tweaks would make this 5 star for me: 1) Colors/ fonts/ designs
/music are limited. It would be great to model Canva and allow biz users to import their brand colors, fonts & designs, and offer free stock images as well as the option to purchase stock images and music right from PicPlayPost . We need one stop shopping! 2) Pricing: based on the current model, I feel it’s better priced at 4.99/month... if it had the additional bells & whistles, I would totally agree that 6.99 was the magic number. Or maybe have a low priced option for recreational users and higher for biz account? 🤔 In any event, test it out and see if it’s right for you! I haven’t found one yet that meets all my needs, but this one has come the closest. 🙏🏼✌️

I absolutely LOVE PicPlayPost. I take so many photos at family get togethers and this is the best way to share with everyone all the photos! It uses the LIVE PHOTOS as video clips and it’s just amazing how the final product looks! I’ve been playing with PicPlayPost all weekend. We went to World of Illumination around Christmas and took way too many videos of the lights. Nobody wants to watch all those... but this puts it into a fun video that everyone enjoys watching! And you can easily text it to your friends!
I just can’t say enough how much I love PicPlayPost!

Originally, I gave PicPlayPost a bad review, because I didn’t realize it was going to be a subscription, which I hate. It can be purchased, but it’s very, very pricey for a mobile app. Then I actually tried using it, and it is a really good app for what I will use it for. It allows me to use iOS “live” photos in collages and videos without converting them to video first.

I hate subscription software, but I’m concerned that if I spend the big bucks and buy PicPlayPost , that it may not be updated to stay compatible with any future iOS changes.

I really appreciate the creators of PicPlayPost. They made it perfect. I wanted to make a slideshow for my Mom’s memorial, but only had experience with PowerPoint. After having unsatisfactory results with that old clunky Windows’ product, I found PicPlayPost after a short search in PicPlayPost store. this app made it easy to arrange all my gathered digital photos, and create a lovely tribute to my Mom. Right on my phone. Complete with music in the background. And professional looking transitions from one photo to the next. Plus every photo slowly pans in and then the next photo slowly pans out, almost like they’re breathing. It is a beautiful effect.
Another app that I used, was called Photomyne, which I used to scan in my old physical photos into the slideshow. Both apps worked together seamlessly if you have a storage library accessible to both apps, like OneDrive. All in all it was a pleasant experience creating something so beautiful and fulfilling. Thank you for making such a great app.

After looking up so many options to do a video montage which I’ve never done before, got frustrated with all the must pay from day one apps. I wasn’t even sure I could figure out how to make it what I pictured in my head, so when I came across this one to try for free, I was happy. Not everything is free and to get it perfect I would have to pay for upgrades, which I may do in the future but for this one project, it didn’t make sense. Many features available even in the free trial. Would highly recommend to my friends!

by Mamaabcdefg

This is by far my favorite app for making videos! It is so easy to use! The results always look professional. I’ve tried so many other apps and this one is the best (and easiest to use) by far! So glad I found it.

I mainly use it to make videos from special events (our vacations, birthday parties, etc.), and I also use it to make a video scrapbook for each calendar year. I love that you can easily combine pictures and video clips and that you can add music (more than one song) and voiceovers! Just when you think PicPlayPost has it all, they keep adding new fun features. PicPlayPost is so much faster and easier to use than other apps or computer programs I’ve tried! The finished product looks like I spent so much time on it, when the reality is the videos don’t take a long time to make. I also love how intuitive it is! You don’t need to be familiar with editing software to figure out how to use it.

I recommend PicPlayPost to all my friends (and to you)! So worth it!!!

It's pretty straightforward for using as a slideshow builder and looper or even a video looper that's got simultaneous separate video windows of different sizes. the ability to add just as much of whatever audio you want is effortless.

there is no learning curve here. it's simple. maybe too simple.
that being said, I think my goal will be to make my approach within PicPlayPost much more difficult... maybe combining screen grab videos of making the videos that are screengrabbed in such a way that they become ambiguously transcendental, accidentally..(*cough*) but not until I’ve screen recorded the screen grabs as they are being made, not to mention screen recording the process of this app which will be placed into a video mosaic and screen recorded again.

This is a no nonsense great app. And if you need any leads into how to use it or other apps that will integrate with it, those are there as well. Don’t remember what I paid for the IAP, but whatever it was (less than $5) it was worth every soul sucking penny.

I tried several slideshow apps with zero video-making experience because I needed to submit a video entry to a talent contest. One site was simple, but incompatible with my phone, one crashed every time I used it while demanding weekly payments, and one really got me in over my head with editing an timing.
This one was simple to use, made it really easy to work from my camera roll directly, and unlike a lot of apps that lock essential features like saving or sharing your work behind a paywall, actually functions, and the things you can buy are interesting or useful extras, like more text, more photos per slide, ect. I’m happy with it!

(Here’s my reply to the email I just received from Lisa regarding an issue with PicPlayPost I had today. I submitted to the team thinking I’ll never hear back, NOT! I heard back within 2 hours. ) Lisa, THANK YOU so much for your reply which also gives me a solution. You have no idea how impressed I am. What OUTSTANDING customer service!!! Subscribing to PicPlayPost gives me so much joy! 5 STAR app and customer service all the way!!!! The free app is amazing and I’ve been using it for years. A couple of years ago I decided to upgrade and do the reasonably priced version. I can’t say enough about the reliability and how easy it is to use. Thanks, CIN919 @ IG

I’ve used PicPlayPost for a while now and it’s amazing for mirroring videos for editing. I haven’t found a better app! But I have noticed some things that could be added to improve PicPlayPost . For example, when going to select a video I have to scroll to find it. It would be a time saver if you could select videos or photos from albums saved. Also when I go to mirror videos, I have to scroll everytime back again to select it. I suggest putting in a copy button, where I can copy the video I selected and paste it onto another frame. I really hope you consider my suggestions, it would make using PicPlayPost a whole lot easier! Thank you

I seldom rate apps in PicPlayPost Store because I just don’t take the time. However, this one warrants my attention. I LOVE PicPlayPost! It is easy to learn, has an incredible UX/UI, takes most of the guesswork out of slideshow production, has a lot of different choices for making collages, changing colors as well as AWESOME transitions (although I’d like more, please!). I downloaded this today and have already made one feature video for an important anniversary as well as made a movie montage of my sweet dog....I see many different and useful purposes for PicPlayPost and will continue to enjoy it for a VERY long time. The cost is a little steep but if you’ve tried to use one of these in the past with the similar results to what I had, it’s tolerable. Keep up the good work! (BTW - One of the transitions I would like is an explosion where the letters explode off the screen as an ending. Hint hint. 😁

I am well over half a century old and have been taking pictures around the world since I got my first 35 mm auto rewinder Minolta at 15 years of age. Prior to that I travel the world and and Instamatic 110 camera was my first obsession! I grew up watching my father with his lenses and how he had such a beautiful eye for everything around him take pictures and it inspired me so much to become a photographer myself. Because I don’t like technology and being an older person, having easy programs really helps. Ones that are very similar to the format of Adobe or such. Time will tell on whether this actually comes through the wagon out but so far I’m extremely satisfied and did actually update to the pro. I will keep you posted if you are curious as to what I think in the future. But I do highly recommend this as far as I have experienced it at this point. Well done and great app! thank you

Update: just found out you can’t paste text from another app. You create a text overlay, click edit, click paste, and nothing happens. 😐 this is a $100 app.

PicPlayPost is really good for small videos. But if they start getting too long (10 minutes seems to be an issue), weird things start happening. I made a 2 part video with text and a watermark. I’ve had to export the video several times because either the text or the watermark disappears during export. Wouldn’t be so bad but it takes 5-10 minutes to export each time only to find out something went wrong. It’s more convenient to shoot a video on the phone and edit on the phone, but as expensive as PicPlayPost is, it’s not very intuitive and seems to get confused for anything other than small clips.

Users will find that many of the free tools are laughably bad and is just meant to strong arm the user into buying more tools from the company that will actually do the job properly. For example, the standard gif you are able to create is purposely missing giant areas of pixels essentially ruining the gif. Of course you can fix this by getting the "high quality" option which doesn't look any better than the default and doesn't gut pixels from the gif by only coughing up a some cash. TLDR: App is scam and the bulk majority of the "positive" reviews are created by the company, if you're looking for an editor this is not the one. This one may look "free" at first but you'll end up paying more on a disfunctional app than coughing up $0.99 on another editor app somewhere else on PicPlayPost store.

Whenever I try to make a collage there are ALWAYS black lines even if i’ve made it where there is no border and it ruins the look of the collage or sometimes I will use it for an edit and it will ruin the look of it and it is incredibly frustrating, before I download the video, which is usually in the three by three collage, it will show two black lines, between the second and third video on the top row and then the second and third videos in the very right column, then after I download it it will show a black line between the first and second row. I know it’s difficult to do this but it is incredibly annoying and if you could fix it that would be appreciated

An amazing app for Social Media effects and creating advertising videos. Solid and never crashed on me. My friends keep wondering how do I creat such amazing posts 😆 However I have two questions that sent to the team:
A) I have a monthly subscription right now. Will I have more features if I purchased PicPlayPost one time which will cost almost US$100/-?
B) Noticed when I create my projects that I can not change the image sequence. For example if I have an image at the middle, I can’t move it to be at the start of my project. Why is that?

Keep the good work guys

I really do love PicPlayPost. It makes creating picture collages fun for the inner child in me. I rarely use the filter selection for the pictures. But there are options for wallpaper & color backgrounds to custom your pic collage just how you like. The free options are great for me & you can upgrade/purchase PicPlayPost , should you prefer. I purchased PicPlayPost so I can have the "Euphoric YoGi" on my picture collages.

If I have a "bad" comment, it only allows music from iTunes library & not from others apps on my phone but that's possibly an iTune restriction. Other than that, its great!
