“[Canva] ★★★ 3/5 (v4.231.0) — I wish more things were free to use without a watermark!!!! 😭”

“[CapCut] ★ 1/5 (v19.6.0) — Everything costs money, horrible graphics, and horrible bugs! I’m Dissapointed that this is called the “best mobile editing app” very very Dissapointed!”
“[CapCut] ★★ 2/5 (v19.6.0) — Ok so this is a good editing app in my opinion since I have some experience. But I’m BEGGING to make you effects free again. For example, Pixel Stretch, doodle diary, pudding bounce, etc. I don’t want to pay to use them. So pls fix your app I’m editing on video editor since the effects are free.”
“[CapCut] ★ 1/5 (v19.6.0) — Used to be free… Now, even to export without watermark, we have to pay”
“[CapCut] ★ 1/5 (v19.6.0) — Used to be the best editing app ever. Now you have to pay to export.”
“[CapCut] ★★★ 3/5 (v19.6.0) — I hate it the pro ruins everything I want it to all be free I swear it suck because I have to no post them because your stuipd pro uses please get rid of it now I am done I will stop using your app if you don’t and I will quit and use video star”
“[CapCut] ★ 1/5 (v19.6.0) — CapCut used to be good but now EVERYTHING costs money and even AUTO CAPTIONS costs money now people can’t even edit anymore because of this app”
“[CapCut] ★ 1/5 (v19.6.0) — Capcut used to be really good, now literally EVERYTHING is pro. Chill on your users and let us edit bro.”
[CapCut] ★★★ 3/5 (v19.5.0) — I tried to export it but I had to pay 29 ¢ .
[CapCut] ★ 1/5 (v19.5.0) — It’s baaaad. it keeps messing up!
“[CapCut] ★★ 2/5 (v19.5.0) — I love to make edits with this and templates for my guinea pig videos, but 4 annoying things, 1, I have to pay for like EVERYTHING!!! I can’t even use 1 font text without having to pay. 2, The pop ups are annoying, its like “try capcutpad” and stuff, and there is too much types of CapCut, so basically on this one, I can’t really do anything, 3, so MUCH lags! I would love the lags to be fixed or something, it’s very annoying. 4, there is really annoying bugs, everytime”
“[CapCut] ★ 1/5 (v19.4.0) — Horrible, absolutely HORRIBLE. Keeps deleting my clips, making me pay for pretty much EVERYTHING THERE. And I can’t even export because it says I’m using an effect that I’m not even using and it’s trying to force me to pay for something I’m not even using and wasting my entire project just because it’s too stupid to actually look for the problem.”
“[CapCut] ★ 1/5 (v19.3.0) — Capcut used to be my go to editing app but literally almost every single feature is paywalled now. “3 audio extractions left this month” yeah right lol. Definitely will be looking for a new editing app”
“nah capcut is dumb af. won't even let you add a non-music audio track without extracting from a video, and even that is limited to the free trial of 9 uses. fuck that.”
“[CapCut] ★★★ 3/5 (v19.3.0) — I have been using CapCut for well over a year plus now and it has been great for me with one exception. Recently they have moved a feature I use daily from the standard subscription (which I payed a year for back in November of 2025, and it is September 2026 when this review is being written) to then now the PRO subscription. For the past 2 weeks I have been in contact with live support (who uses all ai generated prompts btw) asking for a refund of the months that wi”
“[CapCut] ★★★ 3/5 (v19.2.0) — it would be an amazing app if it weren’t for people being money hungry😣😣 i use this app the most for editing and it’s pretty simple but literally every single thing is premium and i can’t do nothing that i REAAALLYY want to do bruh”
“[CapCut] ★ 1/5 (v19.2.0) — I did an 2 or 3 hours edits and I didn’t put any and it says I have to pay”
“[CapCut] ★★ 2/5 (v19.2.0) — This app is not really good 1st the watermark how your supposed to do it does not work so you have to put a screenscreen and put you name on it and overlay it on your project and splice it but instead nope when I try to click splice the options show up and then I click overlay on splice and then my whole project turns black only the name is visible and 2nd this this so pay to win like when it comes to getting something actually useful it has to have plus and it’s anno”
“[CapCut] ★ 1/5 (v19.1.0) — This is the worst software in the world. Don’t even think about downloading it. It’s a total waste of time. Nothing is free—every editing feature asks for credits. If you’re going to spend money anyway, spend it on some other video editing software, but definitely not on this useless software.”
“[CapCut] ★★ 2/5 (v19.1.0) — For Gods sake, please fix that blue highlight glitch, we shouldn't have to see in in a final file after exporting, it really doesn't make sense how they haven't publicly acknowledged this bug.”
“davinci resolve is not free. you can download a demo where they put all sorts of restrictions, including a watermark you have to pay to remove. that's not free, that's not fair, that's bs and you know it”
“[CapCut] ★ 1/5 (v19.1.0) — I am on Pro. I asked for exports without the watermark, the app said it generated without one, and it was there every single time. That alone is a bait and switch. The rest is just as bad. The AI ignores your prompts and returns something unrelated, then charges you credits again to regenerate its own mistake. Renders are slow, accuracy is marginal, and the price is nowhere near worth it. And I am not alone. The reviews are full of billing errors, charges people neve”
“[CapCut] ★ 1/5 (v9.3.0) — First of all they added a watermark that nobody asked for, you’d be better off sticking to the older version of the app. They’re forcing you to get Pro to remove this watermark. The crazy thing is I have Pro and the watermark still won’t remove! I would’ve been better off on the older version.”
“[CapCut] ★★★ 3/5 (v9.3.0) — CapCut is an excellent tool but latest update force you to upgrade in order to remove the CapCut watermark, that is a very bad move from the team. If they forcing this, they should create a cheaper plans maybe $1.99 or $2.99 just to remove the water mark if you are not interested in any other features.”
“[CapCut] ★ 1/5 (v19.1.0) — (I made this 5 stars for people to see but if I could I’d give it one star) ok first of all WHY ARE YOU MAKING US PAY FOR SIMPLE VERY SIMPLE EDITING EFFECTS LIKE A SHAKE GLITCH OR BLACK FLASH?? i get that there can be a subscription for actually premium effects/anything but for simple editing effects? Ridiculous. ByteDance is greedy af and do not pay for their subscription so we can get more simple editing effects free. I love this app but the prices and subscriptions”
“[CapCut] ★ 1/5 (v9.2.0) — Deleted as soon as I saw they updated it to force you to pay to remove the capcut watermark. I will find another app.”
“[Claude] ★ 1/5 (v1.260813.0) — Take off the watermark and I’ll use Claude again and move up the rating. Was five stars before this is dumb.”
“[CapCut] ★★ 2/5 (v19.0.0) — I love to make edits with this and templates for my guinea pig videos, but 4 annoying things, 1, I have to pay for like EVERYTHING!!! I can’t even use 1 font text without having to pay. 2, The pop ups are annoying, its like “try capcutpad” and stuff, and there is too much types of CapCut, so basically on this one, I can’t really do anything, 3, so MUCH lags!

“[CapCut] ★★ 2/5 (v18.9.0) — This app is advertised everywhere but once you use it, it’s not worth it. It makes too many mistake mistakes on the videos and it charges you 200 credits to edit everything you will use up all your credit credits on your pro subscription by the time you finish one video. Not worth the money.”
“[CapCut] ★ 1/5 (v18.9.0) — years of using capcut just to turn into a money hungry corporation that now makes you pay to remove a watermark on your videos all of the good transitions, effects, etc are all hidden behind a paywall.”
“[CapCut] ★★ 2/5 (v18.9.0) — Mostly everything you need to pay for, if you wanna remove background you gotta pay, if you want that cute filter for your edit you gotta pay. You need to pay for literally everything on this app.”
“[CapCut] ★ 1/5 (v18.9.0) — honestly capcut was a nice 4 stars until you thought it was okay to add your own watermark and on top of that you have to pay(like always) to even remove it. i never get why people like to be so money hungry like genuinely we already use it for tiktok so why keep going???”
“[CapCut] ★ 1/5 (v18.9.0) — Since I’ve been a editor back in 2022 they have gotten even greedier now with the new update sucks even more switch to alight motion or after effects don’t ever waste ur money on here”
