3. Tap to split text at the right time in the video.

Needs work

whocares4ever on

United States

Just subscribed only to find out that it’s a daunting task to add subtitles. It has a great simple format that should work. But it doesn’t allow quick video creation. Unfortunately there is no auto correction for time limits which delay the creative process tremendously. Till the point where you’d probably just set it to the side and forget this app even exists on your device. I’d add an update to correct this defeating problem. One that auto corrects the time reading length of the text for the videos and allows for a more instant experience. Only right to pay for something that works for you and not the other way around. I’ll change my rating when ever this is addressed and consider cancelling my subscription if not.

Perfect for adding captions

This has been a handy tool that saves me a bunch of time. Free version is everything I need and is simple enough. The hardest thing other tools don’t do well (particularly the AI ones) is cadence. The first two attempts, I had some growing pains, but then I checked out the help section which cleared up my issues. It was easier than I had presumed and now can get the timing perfect. Would have loved to see a sample on first open to show core workflow.

The best app for TikTok captions!

This is the only app I’ll trust for my reels and TikTok content. I prefer manual captions since AI tends to cause more work than it’s worth. Assembling captions is easy and there’s a TON of customization options. Plus, this app is Apple-centric and supports all the features you’d expect like iCloud and HDR.

Super useful

I had only ever captioned videos through Instagram before, but if I’m not sharing a video there, this fits the job nicely. Well done.

Yup, it’s good.

This app popped up on my radar because of it’s simplicity. The captions are super easy to make and time, the exporting was quick and high quality, and the free version is perfect for my needs. The only things that are missing for me are keyboard shortcuts. The ability to undo with CMD + Z or pause with SPACE would make working in this app even more intuitive. But overall, it’s definitely going on my iOS editing toolbelt!
