Ratings and reviews

This is an updated review from 1 to 2 stars. At 1st, there were problems creating a valid mp4 format, but I won't waste precious space on why. After hours trying to get that far (no instructions), the text+mp3 plays ok during recording, but after saving, there is no audio in the mp4. It's silent. I wish this would work because there's nothing else like it.

This app s rubbish why cant you copy stuff over from other apps or at least duplicate the credits, if you use this for the end of a movie it must take ages to write everyting in, if it coulf be written somewhere prior then put it that would make it a whole lot easier, I'm doing a series with more that 100 components per episode and I can't deal with this waste of time, especially since the credits have to change completely after each episode.

It's kind of mostly there but for some reason when I put the word government in it cannot put the o after the g. And I tried to change the font maybe to get it to pop up with an o but that seem to be really awkward. For some reason it just misses some letters. And an awkward availability of fonts. Look forward to Future versions. Not currently useful
