Ratings and reviews

It works, but when I load an image, the size of that initial starting square is only usable as the first frame, after adjusting the zoom it will never let me return to that starting small size. All I wanted from this app was the ability to zoom into that small size (or even smaller if possible), but in order to do that it would require me to use the tiny box at the only time it is available (frame 1, no zoom, pan only), export the video, and then reverse it in another app. Fix this for 5 stars.

Pretty easy to use. Just really wish it had finer pan/zoom speed control when using high resolution images taken with my phone. The speeds are in ms/px when it would probably be better to do as some kind of percentage of the whole image so that the speed scales with the resolution. Also sad to see that they don't have 4:5 aspect ratio for portrait orientation Instagram posts. Would be nice to break out of the box (square) when dealing with more portrait images.

Straightforward app that does what it says. Perhaps it's simply my error, but the only suggestion I'd make is to allow the keyframe shapes to be resized even smaller than they are currently. Nevertheless, it's the only free app I could find that was uncomplicated yet offered (almost) total control of the ken Burns effect for free.
