I'm having a lot of fun with these especially the free downloads. But I have had a couple of the free daily downloads not work, freezing up in the processing or not at all. The app offered me a dollar off of the 82 pack special but then after I went to purchase it a few minutes later it didn't. Good app! I purchased the 80 app pack and look forward to more coming available. But how do you delete some downloaded fx that are taking up storage space?

I happened to remember this app after 10 years when I first installed it and even bought a few filters, which restored just fine. The app doesn't work fully on my device (Galaxy s24). If I bump up the motion match accuracy to "high" and click start, the app freezes after a second and shuts down. Android pops a notification requesting I clear the cache because the app has errors. (Didn't fix the issue) I hope the developer can fix/optimize the app for newer devices. I'd love to use it again.

LOVE FxGuru!! Loads of fun to use with friends, family, and pets to make hilarious short videos to share with others! FxGuru includes some free efects to get you started, and additional effects are fairly priced. They have such a huge variety of effects that it's hard to choose just a few. So easy to use! You've GOT to try this app!
