What’s New

Version 1.5.2

-Fixes have been made to lighten the operation. The opacity of brushes is switched between the previous 1.4 version and the current one from 1.5 after 65. The higher the opacity (closer to 0), the higher the load, causing delays and slowness with the pencil and brush tools. If you want to avoid delays and slowdowns with the pencil and brush tools, it is recommended to use opacity as close to 100 as possible.

-The action of the Back button from the Edit screen has been changed to wait until saving is complete. Therefore, the Back button cannot be operated until saving is completed. Please note that this is not a malfunction.

-The behavior of the screen transition to the edit screen has been modified to be more stable.

-When Duplicating a video, there was a case that the video would not be saved and would be blank, but this has been corrected.

-Fixed some minor issues, such as canceling during video export.

-Safety has been improved.

Shouldn’t be listed as free

If you download this then know that it’s completely useless unless you buy a subscription service.

Not free

Requires a subscription, shouldn’t be listed as free software. Disappointing, as it looked like a good app, but fails to be useable.

Ignore the 1 star reviews, get the trial

At the time I write this, this app has 2 1 star reviews complaining you can’t do anything with it unless you subscribe. This is true, insofar as you need to subscribe to access the 30 day free trial, and you pay nothing until the trial ends. I dunno: personally I think it is worth subbing for the trial and so that is what I have done. And if it proves to do what I think it can, it will be worth the £8.99 per month.

So, what can it do? The functionality is fairly simple, which is just as well because there is no documentation and no tutorial. So you have to work it out for yourself. But once you have - and it really isn’t too hard - it is pretty straightforward and I’ve had no difficulty creating my first storyboard. So it loses a star for the lack of guidance on how to use it, but I am happy so far that it is doing what I hoped.

Finally, it keeps a fairly high score because it has a free companion app that helps export storyboards into Da Vinci, which I am using to edit the video. I have yet to trial that, but if it works as advertised, this is a fairly powerful tool for relatively little money and will save me time as I go.

Get the free trial, have a play, set a reminder to review your subscription if you’re worried it won’t deliver. But let’s not leave 1 star reviews because we’re too lazy even to sign up for a 30 day trial. Would it be nice for the developer to remove that obstacle to the trial? Sure. And I don’t doubt they would have better take-up of the app. But it’s not hard to manage your subs, and the reward is something simple and effective.
