MovStash - Blur Video Editor

(Take a gander at all of the five star reviews for this app... you just might notice a trend. Just sayin'.) I know a ton of work goes into these apps, and that the majority of apps fail for one reason or the other. However, I rarely feel compelled to write a negative review. I limit those to apps that have essentially failed to achieve some basic functional standards. This app is replete with these kinds of deficiencies, including the ability to save mid-edit, basic save-as functions, ability to select from all available file/video locations including the Hidden Album—an album that may contain media where blurring is especially desired by virtue of the fact that they are stored in a hidden location, dependable app stability, clear pathways to support when needed, the ability to save projects at any point in the editing process, and finally the ability to save projects at any point in the editing process. Oh! Did I mention the ability to save projects at any point in the editing process? (You get the point.) The culmination of these and other issues with this Half-baked Slop-cake©️, it wastes users' time. And I mean a LOT of users' time. Time equals money. Forgive my cynicism, but it almost seems like this app was deliberately designed to be as obtuse as possible in order to garner more minute$ that the endless ads are in front of users' frustrated faces. Hard to say, plus, I know absolutely nothing about his these things work. What I DO know is that this app doesn't work. Aaaaaaand DELETE!

Well, I was skeptical at first because of the negative review but I gave it a try anyway since I can’t find other app that will do the job. But turn out just as I wanted it to be. Did it’s job and very easy to navigate. It’s a little pain to go frame by frame to blur the specific area you wanted to blur but I’m taking my time anyway. It’s not as bad and I’m not deleting it anymore like my first plan because it may come in handy or for future use. It’s a little difficult to find app like this.

As the title states, this is the worst app ever. It doesn’t allow you to move the blur, and you can’t just blur a tiny part. It makes you have a blur on the screen at all times. I wanted to blur 2 seconds out of a nine minute long video and since you can’t move the blur, I had to go frame by frame moving the blur out of the picture. Then, when I had finally blurred what I wanted and was about to push done, the app crashed!!!!!!!! I went back in and none of it saved. I am not going frame by frame through nine minutes just to have it crash again. I would say this is better than nothing, but it really just isn’t. Also, I wish there were a rectangle shaped blur because I was blurring a text message but the closest thing is a square and you can’t just have part of it on the top without it being a huge nuisance. Thank you for reading and I hope this review was helpful.
