### "Video Blogger"

January 7, 2020

5.0

I no longer need a videographer for any of my needs. Creating a great video is easy!

Pros

I like that it is affordable and that there is a free trial. It is also easy to use and with a professional account you can use commercial licensed music tracks!

Cons

I didn't like the limited amount of templates with the free trial. Wish there were more color options as well.

### "Awesome slideshow app!"

July 29, 2019

5.0

Pros

I have been using Animoto for a few months now and I love it. I use it to create a slideshow of some of my favorite wedding photos at events. Simple to use and a great way to display my work!

Cons

I don't have many negative things to say about Animoto but I do think it is a bit overpriced compared to other apps on the market.

### "Easy to use micro video editing"

August 2, 2018

5.0

Pros

So easy to create something. You add some images, videos and voila it comes up with a nice animation slideshow with music.

Cons

It has its limits but for most users, its a quick way to produce video that looks decent, without spending a fortune.

### "Quick & painless marketing videos"

September 5, 2017

5.0

Easy to create & share marketing videos

Pros

they optimize their templates & layout to reflect what works & doesn't based on research & data - the drag & drop interface makes editing the layout very easy. Also love the premade transitions & templates.

Cons

There could be more sales related templates for B2C and square option for slideshow - also could use a few more options for transitions, but easily see them building more options over time.

### "Easy videos on a budget"

June 12, 2019

4.0

Pros

The free-version of Animoto is a great option for people who want to get their feet wet with video content but who only have access to images.

Cons

Once you create a few of them they begin to look pretty much the same.

### "Create easy videos!"

September 8, 2019

5.0

It has been great! Animoto has been always a great alternative to create easy videos.

Pros

Animoto is a great product to create videos in minutes. The AI, take all your pictures or videos and generates a beautiful video with music. You don't need to be an expert editor or even have editing software.

Cons

You are limited to the templates they offer. So if you want to create more complex videos, there are other options in the market.

### "Animoto"

January 31, 2021

4.0

Definitely fun to use for personal projects, and have a ton of really cool templates to make the project look really cool

Pros

Love the available templates and the ease of use that comes with the way the templates and the site is set up.

Cons

Sharing the videos once created was difficult, and it would be helpful to have a bit more customization in the creation process.

### "The app has \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] :))"

August 24, 2020

4.0

I create videos to introduce my team for school project, I don't need any super-professional app, so I am satisfied with Animoto.

Pros

Very wide choice of music for the videos! The resulting videos have good quality! The app is comfortable to make videos as an advertisement.

Cons

The app is slow, sometimes takes about 40-60 seconds to load&open the page.

### "Unethical Company, below average product"

Pros

Nothing really. Its a very basic video editor

Cons

It is a highly unethical company that has an auto-renew feature and no refund policy, even within 24 hours of the coerced renewal.
