5/5Animoto is the best
You don’t even have to pay anything! They let you choose out of million kinds of slide shows, then million kinds of songs. It’s all free! If there was such thing as more than 5 stars I would give them a million! Because that is how much songs and slides. You can choose up to 20 photos and videos! Not like those stupid other slide show apps who only let you put 2 or 3. Don’t listen to those other apps. Instead of paying like 20 bucks for a pic, Animoto lets you have 20 for FREE!!!!!!

5/5Worth the money
This is 100% worth the money. I was trying to make a little music video of pictures and videos I’ve taken with my girlfriend over the last 2 years and wanted a nice song in the video while our memories were playing. I downloaded 6 different video maker apps, all let downs. Tried the free version of this for like a small video, and it was perfect. I paid the money for the premium, and made the 5 minute video and it turned out absolutely perfect. So perfect I almost tear up every time I watch it and I’m so excited for her to see it. GREAT APP! Definitely download!!!

5/5Wonderful, easy to use app with very nice free trial version!
I love the app as it’s not only wonderful but also super easy to use for making videos! The free version is already very nice with maximum 20 photos and plenty of background and musical songs to choose or buy your own favorite song! Also love the caption option with 50 characters for body and 40 characters! Once you are done and happy with your video, the app also offers all the options to share via social media, text messaging, email or save in your camera! How awesome and convenient! Thank you so much!!

1/5Great concept but very frustrating
I love the idea of making slideshows both for personal use, ie. special occasions and for Business use, displaying my art line. I took the time to make eight different slide shows each with 20 photos which is the maximum. I emailed some of them to potential clients and posted my personal ones to Facebook. Within 24 hours, all the videos were automatically deleted. I reached out to Animoto customer service and was told “it looks like you are using our legacy mobile app“. My question is, “why is this even available on the App Store NOW if it is old and useless?” I downloaded this version from the App Store on November 8, 2019 and my videos were deleted the next day on November 9. I spent quite a few hours making these slideshows just to have them disappear the next day. Frustrating! Before they were all deleted however, I really enjoyed the app. So much potential!

5/5Love it!
It’s an excellent app to make videos with BOTH photos and video clips. Thank you for giving so many free options. It makes you want to purchase add ons or upgrade when applications give you enough free selections to play around with app long enough to see whether you like it or not. I do wish there was a way to purchase more music, instead of uploading it from your library. I also wish you could have the option to play video clips shorter or longer than 5 seconds. Anyone, on the fence about whether or not you should download it - I highly recommend downloading it! Have fun!

8.5.0
Studies have shown that it is impossible to focus on more than one task at a time...so we decided to give you the ability to have multiple in-progress projects! Also, it's not you...it's us, but this will be our last release for our friends on iOS 8. Any updates of Animoto in the future will require updating to iOS 9 or later.

8.6.0
You know the feeling of being interrupted while you are doing something? Then you go back to whatever it was that you were doing later on, but you can't remember where you left off! Was I adding chocolate syrup to my ice cream sundae? Or was it whipped cream!? We hate that feeling at Animoto too!! Now your in-progress projects remember exactly where you were in the process. We've also added overflow controls in the video list! You know those buttons that look like meatballs? You can now share, copy, or delete videos you've created right from the video list screen. If you hate unnecessary steps, you're going to love this update. If you love unnecessary steps, you'll still love this update too, just not as much. Last but not least, with this release, you can now see (but not edit YET) the in-progress projects you've been working on from the web! Plus lots of pesky bugs have been squashed in this release, along with improvements to overall app stability. Love Animoto? Please review our app in the App Store. If you have any issues with the app, please email us at [email protected].

Prepare for ludicrous speed! Before when you wanted to preview or produce a video, you had enough time to go mow your lawn, take a nap, and build a house before it was done loading. With this update, you can still mow your lawn, but you'll only have enough time to cut one single piece of grass before your videos are ready.

Animoto is bringing sexy back. With this release, we've made some design improvements that will make this app really really ridiculously good looking. We could've stopped there. And it would have been an awesome release. *5 minutes later* But we didn't! Our team went on a vision quest, and we traveled the world for inspiration. We wanted to deliver something extra special for our Marketing Video Builder Customers. We studied thousands of years of ancient history to figure out how people have historically gotten an item from point a to point b. We explored everything from the Pony Express in the mid 1800's, to Drone Delivery experiments today! That's when we realized our users were plugging their phones into their computers, downloading their photos & videos, and then hopefully uploading the correct files to their Marketing Video projects on the web. This sounded worse than the Pony Express to us. We're not promising to deliver photos & videos via Drone yet, BUT with this update, our Marketing Video Builder Customers will now have the superpower of uploading photos & videos from their phone DIRECTLY into their existing Marketing Video Builder Projects on the web! Welcome to version 9.0 people! It'll only get better from here. Plus lots of pesky bugs have been squashed in this release, along with improvements to overall app stability. Love Animoto?
