1. 4/5Lags and freezes

   In all honesty, I love this app wholeheartedly! I’ve been using it for years, I’ve gotten the subscription and I haven’t been able to find anything else like it on a mobile device! My only issue however, is the massive amount of lagging, crashing and freezes that happens. After a few years of having the app on the same device, it started to run slower and slower until eventually it would just crash every time, I tried reopening the app, clearing storage (which wasn’t an issue in the first place), restarting my device, everything I could think of! Eventually I simply deleted and reinstalled the app, and for about half a month, that was working out well, and I thought it would take a while at the most until this issue arises again, but after about a week of not using the app, the same lagging, freezing and crashing started up again, even though my device storage is clear, and I haven’t made many projects on the app yet. I don’t know why this has been happening, but I can’t find many solutions aside from deleting and reinstalling the app around once or twice a month, which one could imagine, is a very tedious process. I love this app very much, but the crashing and lagging issues make it really hard to progressively use the app when I have to not only get rid of all my data on there, but also to do it so often that I can’t be comfortable using the app on a regular, whatever this issue is, I hope it becomes resolved, thank you for reading ^^

2. 4/5Alight Motion Fills Me With Rage

   Ah, Alight Motion. It has a nice layout, clean transitions, good motion blur, and is easy to use— you’ve spent multiple days working on two different edits, both of which you were very excited about sharing with social media. Your edits have smooth transitions and cute voiceovers from your idols and favorite characters. Everything is on beat because of the time spent making it such way, and you are enjoying your day when suddenly— BAM! There is an odd loading screen that has popped up and it glitches you out of the app while you’re editing. You frantically open the app again to make sure your most recent changes were saved and... Oh, would you look at that? All of your edits have been deleted. Now you don’t know what to do because even if you could collect the rare motivation to edit, your edit wouldn’t be safe in the hands of this app. Not only this, but you have no where to turn because you only know how to use Alight Motion and spent a long time watching tutorials where nothing went wrong. Alight Motion gets everything an editing app should have right— except for the fact that it may just decide one day to delete all of your progress. I would continue to use Alight Motion if it weren’t for the overwhelming fear of my work being deleted and lost forever. I’ve had malfunctions in editing apps before but this is worse than any other, especially considering that in all other cases of my edits being deleted, I clicked something or made a mistake by myself.

3. 4/5Great but somehow got worse

   I’ve been using alight for 2 and a half years, and before that i would somewhat make an edit here and there in alight so I’m not just saying this happened all in one update but over time. I love the new effects they add, it’s really nice and allows me to be more creative!! However, its gotten incredibly more laggy over time. It wasn’t as bad back then, add too many layers itd be a problem but now it gets laggy over little things like any of the blurs and if I’m going to be honest, if I overlap keyframes, it also becames laggy. Sometimes it doesnt render my edit correctly and has it lag the clip itself however it’s only happened on my ipad so maybe that’s not Alight’s fault. Another thing that I’m pretty sure was actually in an update was the way overlays/colouring looks and acts different than before. It doesn’t make it look “bad” but I had a set colouring routine for a whole year and it always stayed the same because it did the job and fit what I wanted the edit to look like. But in April 2021 when I tried to use the same colouring, it was very different, more saturated, less transparent and it felt like the settings were completely different. I can recreate something similar to what it used to be but it’s never the same and I personally wish they kept the colouring and overlay settings to work the same as before. I’m unaware if any other users feel the same as me so maybe it’s just me. Now while I’ve been talking negatively, I really do love Alight and have been an original user since the demo ages. There’s more good than bad, I just felt like addressing what’s been bothering me the most.

4. 5/5exceptional!

   alight motion is a great editing software! despite people saying that they find it difficult to even start something on the app because of how complicated its layout looks compared to their usual editing app (e.g. capcut, blurrr, or vsp), its actually very easy if you follow tutorials and get used to it. ive been using alight motion for maybe a year or two and so far? its great. although it is very laggy and crashes whenever i edit no matter how simple it is, the outcome is always what i expect it to be. theres also a lot of ads, but im used to it by now. for you editors considering to use this app, i advise you to PLEASE follow tutorials instead of downloading presets and xml files. following tutorials lets you get used to the layout, effects, tools, and just everything in general, while only using presets and xml files from other editors come with you not learning ANYTHING. if you want to get used to the app and learn how to create things yourself instead of being a lazy bum and using others premade effects, then learn by the tutorials other alight motion editors create for YOU guys. no, im not saying that using presets and xml files are nevessarily bad—im saying that if you depend on it too much, you wont learn anything. aside from that, this is a great editing app for people on mobile and i highly recommend it if you cant afford vsp or ae! (i hate capcut dont keep using it)

5. 3/5A few problems, otherwise good

   Hi Alight Motion! I enjoy using your app even though I only use it for the video movements. Although, I have a few concerns. One thing is that it constantly gives me ads. For example, when I click to like projects and then I create it, I get an ad as soon as I do. Another thing that bugs me is when I have to watch an ad to export, when I finish watching the ad and I press go to press save, it gives me another ad again! Very frustrating. And ANOTHER thing that is awful is the constant lagging and inability to load. My WiFi is always at full bars and my device is an iPad Pro 4th generation with plenty of storage, so there’s no reason for your app to have such difficulty. After watching the ridiculous amount of ads, your app constantly tries to offer me to pay $7.99 A WEEK just to get no ads, export freely, etc. It’s not necessary to charge people that much per week, it would be more understandable is you put it to a month, for example. You should have the option like “don’t ask again” like other Apple apps do. Last thing I was dissatisfied about is when you removed the feature to watch an ad to remove your obnoxious water mark. I understand you have to make money for your app, but there’s plenty of other ways to! I’m probably better off switching to CapCut, since they added better features to their app for free. Otherwise, your app is good. Thanks for reading -Margaret

3. 5/5

   Great App! it may look difficult but its not really that hard, if you're used to editing app with prebuilts then yeah. expect editing manual. but its got decent effects and its not money hungry (except for the ads when i try to export) but overall its good app that comes closest to After effects.
