Please read this before writing anything else (only ppl with lag issues)
Oct 8, 2020 If you’re on an iPhone SE you will have some lag on apps same with the i phone 6s There call lag and it’s rare to happen. Or most of the times it’s an replace battery which didn’t happen because some on bought it in the Apple store so if you got the same lag issues on one of these phones such as 6s if will lag a LOT (only for mini ones xd) if on low battery so charge well not quite the same with the iPhone SE. se has an small lag (the only reason I know I been use the two and now I’m using the se (screen broke 6s)). I was playing “Roblox” and didn’t have a HUGE OR A BIG WHICH ANNOYS PEOPLE AND THE EST DRUMS MIGHT SUFFER FROM PAIN AND AGONY BuT a small not so annoying and very peaceful (yes they do rq just for lag (rq stands for rage quit)) so if you have low battery or it’s over heating (which imma talk about later it’s night time for me) iPhone 6s will L-L-L-L-L-L-L-L-a-a-g-g a lot a bit is not the same with the iPhone SE hope you people have a great day and not making comment of lagmore -
Mar 4, 2021 Hope the update dont change this, but I actually like this over Adobe. An old VCD program on Windows XP called Arcsofts Showbiz 2 that had this format of video editing for alot more basic everyday things was very nostalgic to find out of this app here. The affilate subscriptions to B-Roll is a great idea. Hope more affilates come to work with this development and possibly considering a freemium area to service other creators as seen in some UIs like Unity 3D market for all. Overall great app!more -
Mar 4, 2021 I love this app it helps me do amazing edits to my videos. The only reason I gave it a 4 star instead of 5 because the new visual update that came out this month just makes everything look tacky and not great, maybe some improvements and I might give this a 5 star?more -
I love it but..
Mar 30, 2020 Hey just to start off I love this app and I am so happy that you put it on iOS! I make gacha life videos and I personally think that power director makes my videos so much better. The first think I don’t really like is the watermark. I’m just a kid so I can’t pay like 40 dollars a year for the premium membership, so I would like it if you could be able to remove the watermark for free. The second weird thing is that when I try to add a picture or something it says like “unable to place video/picture see if it is in your library” and I do check my library and the picture/video is there so I’m a little confused I really want to know what’s up with that it might be sort of a bug or something and I just want to know if you can maybe get rid of that. But other than that I LOVE this app I would really recommend this app. Bye and keep up the good work! ✌🏻❤️more -
Mar 5, 2021 Gave it 5 stars after i purchased it in December 2020 for a full year, but when i went to open it this morning, it was telling me that i had to pay again! What is going on? Used it only 2 months and now i have to pay the full year again? Could you guys please update me? Very disappionted! UPDATE: GOT IT FIXED MYSELF.more

Timeline and chroma-key
Oct 29, 2020 This app is supposed to be compatible with my ipad pro, but the chroma key is not available. I bought this app primarily for the chromakey. I have other movie making apps that I like as well, all I need is basic editing. I really wanted to explore a little more with chromakey and its ability to mask and blend, but the chromakey feature is NOT AVAILABLE as indicated. The timeline feature is annoying. If you have ever used CyberlinkPowerdirector desktop version, it is a little bit different. I wouldn’t say it is a lot better. Each version has its ups and downs. So far, I am not completely satisfied with either of them. Each has features that are annoying to use. The videos make it seem so simple but it really isn’t. In order to add a layer, I’d have to add the content in order. If I were to add it after I had already made adjustments and edit the footage, I can’t just add content without everything getting moved and adjusted out of the order I previously placed them. Too bad I paid for the whole year instead of just trying it out for the month. I want a refund!more -
Mar 3, 2021 Great software if it worked, it will not let me save my work and crashed every single time, over 100x, oh and I paid for this app and I cannot get in touch with anyone to help! Avoid -
Mar 4, 2021 This app is great but there is one thing abou the new update 9.0 Can you please respond? Can you please help? When I click on the overlay button And go to videos and I click on a video It says " video overlay maximum exceeded" What should I do?more -
Feb 28, 2021 This PowerDirecor Mobile App is 100% not working properly! I have paid HKD269 for yearly subscription, it's not let me use premium services & once I open the app, it's asking for subscribe now!! Rubbish -
Great! But a problem
Dec 27, 2020 Ok so I got this app I love the new update I really like the new stickers, easy to use. but when I did a test, it blocked my video the media was not found. So I was very sad but I’m not judging, or trying to be rude. But I was..And this was when I gave it the last chance. To not block my video, but..its not change science 2 years ago, So I would want some Changes to not block your media. But keep the updates uploaded, The only change I want is to not block your media/Photos. If you could you don’t have to. :) it’s just fine! You don’t have to do that I think I started using it when 2017 I think and I really liked it, but 10 months ago I did vlogs inside, The house. But it was private so don’t try to ask the user 😅. And it blocked it. Black but it’s ok, so that’s the only problem I want you to change remember you don’t have too. And thx for reading!more

Mar 3, 2021 Wow! Great app especially with the new update its a lot smoother experience. Great app, I recommend you get it if you want! But I recommend getting the premium version its really cheap in my opinion. ^^ -
Something I needed but needs more sounds and effects.
May 15, 2020 This app is actually very cool, everything seems to work fine. Though the things that I do wish that it had are new accurate punching sounds and more swords basically more accurate action sounds, I don’t like that the punching sounds, sounds kinda cartoony, if you guys can add a more cooler/ accurate punches and kick or any related to combat that would very much be helpful, and if you can add some spider man web effects please 🙏🏻? I am trying to make a short film I am 19 years old and I really hope that you guys can add more cool things on this app, if you guys are looking forward to editing and filming this app is a very great app to start with. Thank you so much for taking your time to read this and I hope you can add more combat/ action related stuff and web effects that would really help a lot 🙂have a great day!more

Review
Mar 20, 2020 I love using the app, it’s almost perfect for the things I do. Make a few tweaks and I’ll drop 5 stars. 1st is the price, it’s a little pricey for the premium edition, I know you guys have to recognize that, a few transitions and sticks don’t justify the price to me. Make some real changes and I would gladly pay $40 a year. I would like to see 3 things added. 1, controls so you can change the pitch and tone of voices on video you create. 2, some filters so you can kinda hide your face a bit. I know that’s a strange request but I do Indy wrestling and I wear a mask, so I would like to make a video and be able to add something to hide my face, if that makes since to you guys. 3, blank title blocks, no design, no nothing, just a blank screen so you can add text to. That’s it. Think you guys can pull that off, if you can, I’ll buy the premium. Thanksmore -
Great, but just one problem
Nov 5, 2020 I love using this app to edit my videos, and it is super easy to use. Everything is easy to find and the amount of things you can do without paying is just awesome. But there's one small problem. Audio. The audio has so much lag and glitches. Sometimes the sounds don't play, sometimes it plays only a couple milliseconds of the sound, sometimes the sound is delayed. These are problems that I wish could be fixed, because it really makes it hard for me to add sound effects to my videos. If you could do something about it that would be awesome, and for now, it's just going to be 4 stars from me. But again, it's a great app, so I recommend it to anybody looking for an editing software.more -
Mar 1, 2021 I'm giving a 4 star rating because it's good, but not great. Here are my pet peeves: Every once in a while it forgets that I have already purchased the full version and wants to put ads and a watermark on my video. So I have to close and restart the app. Also, sometimes after I cut a video, the audio keeps playing as if the video were uncut. And lastly, when I try to line up two video layers, Power Director wants to SNAP them into place, and I don't want that. On the plus side, it's easy to use.more

Feb 27, 2021 Look i want to give it a five but my videos are freezing constantly and it's taking me forever to do anything now. I recently subscribed and that im not having 6a good experience so far. I've done everything you suggested and still the same problems, hard to find a rhythm with this now. I got a brand new tablet with all the goodies so I hope you guys fix this. And now I can't even get the tools I paid for! This app seems to be dying. ONCE AGAIN IM HERE TELLING YOU NOTHING WORKS! Fix the app!more -
Great but not my type
Aug 28, 2020 Ok so you start off good. As usual we have tutorial and you start off good. You can add text and videos and photos and others like that and that’s good. I’m starting off really good but I have seen a thing that needs to be fixed. I bet everyone has thought about this. It would be nice to add some transitions to it because all you see is a plain transition. If you have already did this than thank you. I gave this rating a 3 star because no transition and like the others say, kind of laggy and to much adds. Tip in adds unless it’s online. If there are adds than its best to turn off your WiFi. If it’s online than the creator needs to get rid of adds. Thank you for making this game! I’m impressed as always for other games. I bet everyone enjoys it and has problems with all apps including the best apps. I’ll make sure to review again on this to see how it is now.more -
Mar 4, 2021 Very good app.. would of gave 5 star rate.. but I noticed you chipped some features out ! Like reverse and take a snap shot.. etc.. I purchased the full app in 2016!! My full purchased app should be still a full app right? -
Works relatively well. Tricky use of files though.
Nov 7, 2020 This works well for what it does on mobile. I did have a lot of wasted time scrolling and I deleted files from photos to make space to download the finished edit. Then the app said that some files had gone missing been renamed or removed access. So the files that I brought into the app have to stay in Photos in order to produce the edited video. That’s fine except I spent tons of time down converting them into the app and it didn’t tell me this fact ahead of time. I spent hours more RE-downloading the clips from the could back into photos and then RE- down-converting them into the app then recutting them into the finished edit (which alters the timeline for audio overdubs needed for a cooking video) then realigning all the ADR and effects.... hours of wasted time due to the app not saying up front what was needed.more -
Feb 26, 2021 Today when i went to record some videos, it would only show the begining part even if i recorded more than 1 min. It wouldn't let me save my videos, in the main screen where my projects are shown it shows them just a black sreen with 0.00 record times like nothing was recorded.more

Prices are crazy for an editing software on mobile
Jan 25, 2020 Recently started using power director to edit videos but realized theres a stupid watermark there every time you save a project. So I knew I had to get the premium version. I see the prices and you can't permanently buy the program?? Now what sense does that make. Who in their right mind would pay almost 40 dollars a year for an editing software that they will probably use a couple times a month. The premium version does give extra efficient features but nothing really worth buying. I just wish you could buy this software permanently because I really enjoy using it with all it's catches.more -
Confusing and not useful!
Aug 12, 2020 Hi there strangers and possibly power director employees! As you can read by the title I do not recommend this app. It’s very confusing to maneuver and I don’t find it to be useful. I suggest using kinemaster, or cute cut. You may be asking why I think this app is so bad? Well I’ll tell you! 1: The green screen. I have never seen a worse green screen then PowerDirector. I am a gachatuber who only uses green screen and did not find this helpful at all. But I can see other people being able to use it..? Because it leaves a really annoying green outline that’s really big but if you’re going for a bright green neon stroke then here you go. 2: Yes there is good effects but I feel as if they are not good effects and they are to intense I just want something simple! But I do use it to put in gifs because I hate the stupid cute cut logo and this one is easier to cut out. Thank you for taking the time to read my review and I hope you have a fantastic day whoever you are ❤️more -
Ehhh…
Mar 31, 2020 So I see that a lot of YouTubers have this app and it works for them very well, so I’m excited to download it. I search it on the App Store, and there it is. I look at the ratings just Incase this isn’t the app I’m looking for. It is. I download it onto my phone, and then I mess with it just to see how it works. My reaction was: Really? I have very limited options unless I get premium, which I’m not gonna get when there are more editors out there that have more options, and I don’t wanna buy the premium! I saw that the developers often responded to other people’s complaints/responses. So, if you developers are reading this, please more options.more -
I like the app but...
Apr 15, 2020 I like the app but of course there’s always a but lol. It’s a great app and all but the only problem I have is that whenever I put more screenshots that I take on Gacha it tends to lag and start acting up and I don’t like it. If this can get fixed then the app would be amazing and I’d rate it a five 😭.( This is an update). The app is always acting up and lagging terribly after a certain amount of screenshots imputed and I hate it! It is very annoying and I can’t even make a gacha on it! Please fix this! I have an iPhone XR. Is it because of this that it keeps acting up?!more

Feb 27, 2021 I don't know what's wrong with this app... I have paid for 3 months subscribtion in this February due to April 2021, but after updating the apps, it's like a new one... and asking me to pay again! VERY SAD! Please refund my money back!more
What’s Groovy
Very convenient and useful! Especially when on the go and you want to edit a video. Offers enough of what we need to edit a video adequately. So much to the point that as of now I actually use it as my main video editor. I would love to be able to change the color and designs of the title caption themes they offer. I don't want to use their color backgrounds all of the time. I would also love to be able to create our own caption animations!

What’s Subpar
So happy I paid $40 for this... not. I’ve had nothing but issues with lag on every single thing I do. For example, I go to split a clip & it freezes for a good 8 seconds before it actually clips it. Try to undo that? Another 8 second freeze. Now it crashes and kicks me out whenever it feels Ike it. OH ALSO! It will delete your clips & say it’s because you deleted the media off your phone when you never did. Literally anything I do, it freezes. This app is trash, don’t waste your money.
UPDATE! App still continues to lag if you try editing a video over 10 mins in length. I’m coming on here to update this review because this happened just now while trying to use app again.
AS I WAS EDITING, (which mind you has a good amount of splitting both video & voiceover recordings from my mic and being sure they match up in sync perfectly.. A LOT of effort put into this) the media goes red MID CUT & says it cannot be found... the media is still on my phone like it was when it initially pulled it. Ruined & Ridiculous! It’s just so unfortunate that you pay for an app like this with all it has to offer... and you implement multiple things like music/video/text/voiceover and it can’t even keep up with using all of them without such lag.
