“[CapCut] ★ 1/5 (v19.7.0) — Have to pay for everything cant even use the app without buying there subscription”
“[CapCut] ★★★ 3/5 (v19.7.0) — If you want to get a real idea of what people think about apps go look at the reviews on google play or sort through recent. Anyways im not impressed with this app, they refused to give me a refund, getting ahold of customer service is impossible, I…”
“[CapCut] ★ 1/5 (v19.7.0) — If your app is free, KEEP IT FREE! It’s the only reason I downloaded this. Stop trying to charge for unnecessary bs. Deleting this all until you fix your problem.”
Several posts express dissatisfaction with CapCut, citing concerns about adult content and the introduction of paid features. Users want a return to the previous free version.

[CapCut] ★ 1/5 (v19.7.0) — Very Disappointed with the Latest Updates Why do you advertise CapCut as a free app when almost every feature now requires payment, even basic face retouching? These…

“[CapCut] ★ 1/5 (v19.7.0) — Have to pay for everything cant even use the app without buying there subscription”
“[CapCut] ★ 1/5 (v19.7.0) — Told me I could create a free video to see if I wanted to pay for it. I added the photo I wanted to use and the audio and it kicks out a video of some middle age white guy that looks nothing like my picture. Then the app tells me “sorry, please pay me and I’ll do it again and make the person look more like your picture”. 10/10 would not recommend”
“[CapCut] ★★ 2/5 (v19.7.0) — Your app use to be amazing before you had to pay for everything.”
“[CapCut] ★★★ 3/5 (v19.7.0) — I love capcut don’t get me wrong but I just feel like it’s not fair that you have to pay to send Your video key word your to your phone”
“[CapCut] ★ 1/5 (v19.7.0) — i first used this app like quite a few years ago, and back then pretty much everything was free, now we have to pay for the most basic things ever, what’s next, are we gonna have to pay for the speed setting ? but let me not give them ideas ,, moral of the story don’t be a glutton and make something free maybe then people will use your app more”
“[CapCut] ★★★ 3/5 (v19.7.0) — I miss the app this used to be. Everything was free easy and simple, but now even the old free features cost money. It’s giving greedy corporate type stuff. Anyways it was good while it was old”
“[CapCut] ★ 1/5 (v19.7.0) — I paid the $20 pro pack started a video. Video wasn’t what I wanted, made the correction, changed me more money. The corrections were not applied, charged me more money the final creations were dubbed over the original. Deleting app and down 25 for nothing. Save your self”
“[CapCut] ★ 1/5 (v19.7.0) — I will not give this a 5 star because they do not deserve it. I don't care weather this gets attention or not, unlike some reviewers. Nearly everything is locked behind a paywall. The templates also suck. This app is extremely laggy.”
“[CapCut] ★★★ 3/5 (v19.7.0) — Everything used to be free until 2025 or 2026, and the app has began to become way more expensive and buggier now, please make everything free again or make the app work normally again, thanks for reading this.”
“[CapCut] ★ 1/5 (v19.7.0) — This garbage app forces you to pay and purchase the subscriptions even with highest limitations of free version it make big problems for your projects to buy their subscriptions and they send hundreds of Ads and wasting time people must not use this App and pay to these slaves 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻”
“[CapCut] ★ 1/5 (v19.7.0) — Ive been using this app for many years but after all these years its just gotten more greedier you wanna use a normal effect that many apps have? 20$ paywall”
“[CapCut] ★ 1/5 (v19.7.0) — This used to be a great app to edit and create cool videos but they have become so greedy and will not let you use any features previously available without having to pay. Even using a simple template will sometimes make you have to pay. It’s such a shame.”
“[CapCut] ★ 1/5 (v19.7.0) — It made the quality worse and some how good when you pay”
“[CapCut] ★ 1/5 (v19.7.0) — I use this feature absolutely every single time I open the app. And you guys made it a premium? You guys better bring it back before me and everyone else who uses free features deletes the app. Especially the chroma key that's crazy”
“[CapCut] ★★★ 3/5 (v19.7.0) — If you want to get a real idea of what people think about apps go look at the reviews on google play or sort through recent. Anyways im not impressed with this app, they refused to give me a refund, getting ahold of customer service is impossible, I hate that the app opens on a video automatically playing sound, I hate that the design of the app and how hard it is to find customer support, i much prefer edits because it’s more intuitive to me and they don’t charge me”
“[CapCut] ★ 1/5 (v19.7.0) — I used to love capcut because you didn’t have to pay for anything. But now even things that were free before cost money now. Disappointing.”
“[CapCut] ★ 1/5 (v19.7.0) — If your app is free, KEEP IT FREE! It’s the only reason I downloaded this. Stop trying to charge for unnecessary bs. Deleting this all until you fix your problem.”
“[CapCut] ★ 1/5 (v19.6.0) — This app is embarrassing and should be ashamed with the stuff it produces. It takes all your credits and produces garbage. Then to fix it, it asks for more credits. Horrible app, definitely finding a better one.”
“[CapCut] ★ 1/5 (v19.6.0) — Downloaded this app and paid for a subscription based on the good reviews. Thought it would make my project of creating a video montage of a family trip much easier if I could just use a pre-made template from someone else’s account. Search bar doesn’t even allow you to find profiles or the template you are wanting to use. You can’t save the progress on your phone to continue editing on the laptop. It only gives you options to publish, not save on your phone. Couldn’t”
“[CapCut] ★ 1/5 (v19.6.0) — CapCut used to be a chill app where you could make edits and let people see. But now it’s just sexual stuff I can’t do anything now because of these people.”
[CapCut] ★★★ 3/5 (v19.6.0) — The app is amazing I swear I would totally recommend!, but.. I don’t like the fact that CapCut is making their most used features premium for more…
“[CapCut] ★★ 2/5 (v19.6.0) — Honestly, it’s really good if you can get over them adding random things to be charged I had it for about two years now and it’s almost impossible issues without paying for”
“[CapCut] ★★ 2/5 (v19.6.0) — Yo i lovee this app most of my day is this app but i have been getting the same videos over and over and over agian its coming to the point that now i have to write a review”
“[CapCut] ★ 1/5 (v19.6.0) — You have to pay to use it and it’s not cheap $19.99 a month”
“[CapCut] ★ 1/5 (v19.6.0) — I used to use this app for everything, but what you all just did made me hit my final straw. The fact that the fade out animation is now premium only is insane. You’re way too money hungry, I’m gonna have to find another app to make my videos in. And on top of that, the animations REQUIRE WiFi to load! That should not be the case, at least for basic animations.”
“[CapCut] ★ 1/5 (v19.6.0) — I was loving this app for the editing abilities and it’s allowed me to make some fun videos and share them. However, recently it always wants me to purchase a subscription that I already have and when I go to the health center with this issue, they never resolved it.. I really enjoy this app however the in app subscriptions are starting to ruin the whole experience.”
“[CapCut] ★ 1/5 (v19.6.0) — I used to love this app, but now it feels likeI have to pay for everything, which is really unfair. I already paid for the standard plan, and now it’s telling me I have to upgrade to Pro just to download my video. I didn’t use any pro features nor special effects. I only used my Photos. It’s frustrating to pay for a subscription and then be asked to pay more just to save something I created”
“[CapCut] ★ 1/5 (v19.6.0) — Absolutely horrible experience. I’ve been TRYING to give CapCut my money and get Pro, but the app literally will not let me. I’ve tried multiple times and instead of giving me an actual useful explanation, it just keeps blocking the purchase. This is insanely frustrating for an app this popular. If you’re going to charge for Pro, at least make the subscription system actually WORK. I should not have to fight an editing app just to buy its own premium plan. Fix this.”
“[CapCut] ★★★ 3/5 (v19.6.0) — I really enjoy this but to post we shouldn’t have to pay for storage. I get very upset when I try and it doesn’t let me”
“[CapCut] ★ 1/5 (v19.6.0) — I used to love this App. Then the CEO decided to charge with various plans. So, the free version started to lose options. If you want to filter you need the paid version. The free options are being turned down. Today the “Extract audio” gave me 3 more free uses. The final nail to the coffin is that I have now only 4 uses to export in 1080p (HD)!!!! Can you believe that? The 2k only in the paid plan! After those 4 uses I will only have 720p!!! That’s greedy. They wan”
“[CapCut] ★ 1/5 (v19.6.0) — the "standard" thing is utter bs why do i have to pay to save a clip i just put music over in 1080p and put on some filters and text? at least that should be free? it was better in 2023 when the app wasnt money hungry 😪”
“[CapCut] ★★★ 3/5 (v19.6.0) — Since there’s no background removal I don’t need to keep paying for this. It was cool while it lasted.”
“[CapCut] ★ 1/5 (v19.6.0) — Bro the app always is asking your to buy the special edition of it and it gives you barely anything and it also takes up so many ggb”
“[CapCut] ★ 1/5 (v19.6.0) — I don’t see the point in this app. From what I could see, it gives “credits” to allow you to do a limited amount of activity then when you hit that you can pay for more. Meanwhile I can do the same stuff for free in unlimited amounts so I don’t understand the point.”
“[CapCut] ★★ 2/5 (v19.6.0) — Man what happend to having 4k and 60 fps now we can only have less then that and we have to pay?”
“[CapCut] ★★★ 3/5 (v19.6.0) — It used to be the best editing app, but now even short videos can't be done well without a paid subscription. Okay, you did it for free 3 times a month in 1080p resolution, and now you've removed it altogether and you can only export videos without a subscription”
“[CapCut] ★★★ 3/5 (v19.6.0) — Make it or else I’m gonna report this as a one star I mean, I love this app! But why are you doing this to us? Why the FUH subscription?:( I’m tired of this. This app would be much better if you just get rid of this sub subscription is sub subscription for money? If they are, I’m pretty sure you’re rich right now so you please get rid of the subscription PLEASE AGREE WITH ME IN YOUR MIND!! BECAUSE I’M TIRED OF THIS STUPID THING WHAT IF THERE’S KIDS ON THIS APP AND T”
“[CapCut] ★ 1/5 (v19.6.0) — CapCut used to be super user friendly and more importantly, usable (!!!) for completely free, with only some features behind the paywall. Since they did a massive overhaul of their free vs. paid features as well as their privacy policy (which you should look into, because few companies care SO LITTLE about protecting their users’ data and rights), the app is pretty awful. I’ve had tons of issues simply uploading content, and when I used the app for the first time since”
“[CapCut] ★ 1/5 (v19.6.0) — Yall charge before a person can experience your app this is why iam definitely deleting this app and leaving a review. I am not going to pay for anything that I can’t explore before deciding if I like it or not. And yaw don’t give refunds. Not for me!”
“[CapCut] ★★ 2/5 (v19.6.0) — Bro I had this app before but why do I already have to pay I just got it today it’s so pricey I thought you only pay for pro not the templets.It was free when I first had it in 2023 and 2025.”
“[CapCut] ★★★ 3/5 (v19.6.0) — I've had this app since i was 7,and my FYP keeps resetting and giving me these edits that i HATE.”
“[CapCut] ★ 1/5 (v19.6.0) — App used to be awesome until they added templates and almost every other video is something sexual. I don’t recommend this app to anyone until they remove the templates Forgot i wrote up this review but i redownloaded CapCut today and it’s almost worst than before lol amazing editing app don’t know why you feel the need to turn it into a more degenerate version of tik tok. I just want to find templates for my work videos not to see ai boobas”
“[CapCut] ★ 1/5 (v19.6.0) — As a content creator I use CapCut all the time. It’s industry standard if you ask me. Over the years they’ve been pushing the paid subscriptions and I’ve never felt subject to pay it until recently. The app was telling me I had to pay to export in 4K so I bought the pro membership and it went back to regular a week. So weird how an app tells you one thing then another. Fast forward to September 2026, I use cut and paste a lot. Every time I try to paste I have to spam i”
“[CapCut] ★ 1/5 (v19.6.0) — It makes me pay money and makes its not good for beginners frick this app”
[CapCut] ★ 1/5 (v19.6.0) — Money hungry app that hates you for not paying
“[CapCut] ★ 1/5 (v19.6.0) — Let me guess, you're gonna make exporting projects pro next?”
“[CapCut] ★★★ 3/5 (v19.6.0) — I feel frustrated as I have been a loyal user for many years, I pay for subscription and have difficulties using some of the features (for example, background removal). Please, get it back as the absence of some features makes this app unusable for me and other creators.”
[CapCut] ★ 1/5 (v19.6.0) — This app ruined my life
[CapCut] ★★ 2/5 (v19.6.0) — Forced me into paying something
“[CapCut] ★ 1/5 (v19.6.0) — There has been other things then stuff that is supposed to be on a editing app there’s been vents on this there is kids on this is app there’s been some weird stuff on this app and the fact that this is an app other people been posting anything but edits”
“[CapCut] ★ 1/5 (v19.6.0) — I really wonder why maybe the fact that they make it harder to do what I want to do and make my stuff less prioritized and make “fineshihub” ON THE DAMN RUNWAY LIKE DAMN YALL MAKE IT IMMPOSIBLE TO EDIT BUT LET PEOPLE BE ABLE TO SEE CORN LIKE YALL SOME EPSTEIN TYPE SHI”
“[CapCut] ★ 1/5 (v19.6.0) — i’ve had this app for so so long like around when the pandemic started and this app was maybe one of the most used apps for people when they were bored and wanted to edit something or even make fun story times. it was very fun while it lasted until they started adding all of the features where u have to pay to even use the app. at first, it was just some of the effects that u had to pay for and it just kept getting worse. recently i saw u have to legit pay to even put”
