    Ai ruined yet another good app :( — It used to be a pretty good app for video editing but then they went ai-first and now every other feature is something ai related that doesn’t really enhance videos in a meaningful way. Also most good features are behind a paywall. I wish they hadn’t made these changes and gone ai first. Now you can’t even open the app without getting recommended the newest ai f

    Requires full access to my photo library?? — I don’t give full access of my library to any app. I was super bummed that the app required full access and wouldn’t let me start a simple project with limited access. Ended up just deleting it.

    One of the worst experiences — I know I’m learning, but when the ai help feature can only tell me what the solution to what I’m trying to to accomplish IS GIVING SOLUTIONS FOR MICROSOFT EXCEL AND GOOGLE SHEETS, you can understand my frustration. It’s limitations are incredible, and I barely played with it for an hour. Table features were useless. Having to go elsewhere to build a calendar, and nev

    CRASH DUMMY — I pay for this app every month…I’ve been a paid member for over 2 years and I’m about to cancel. CapCut desktop crashes 90% of the time I try to use it. My Mac never lags or runs slow but CapCut has my computer running like it has Limewire viruses on it. Fix this app now this is not worth $19.99 per month I’m sick of it. May really be time to learn Davinci cuz this ain’t worth it.

    Do not waste your time on this app — I thought this app was awesome but no it is so hungry for money and it’s so slow also I cannot login

    Overlay bug — When downloading video, edit shifts overlays significantly, rendering videos unusable. I had to waste a lot of time shifting around graphics to account for this

How this is counted

Every number is arithmetic over the reviews we hold, re-counted weekly: nothing modelled, nothing scored. Themes come from a frozen pattern classifier rather than a model reading reviews, so the same review always lands in the same bucket. A market rate is pooled across every app here; the store rate is the same count across 12,743 apps. A complaint is only called a gap when at least half the market carries it, at least 20 reviews are behind it, and the market’s rate is elevated above the store’s, the same cutoff used everywhere on this site, because a problem concentrated in one app is that app’s bug, and a problem every app on the store shares is nobody’s gap. This market has no full report yet, so the per-app notes are absent rather than estimated. The anger axis is counted either way: mean star of the reviews carrying each theme, from the same classifier as the counts above.
