DataMosh Deluxe 4+

Won’t work

Why is this glitch app so glitchy. I couldn’t get it to work. Shutdown after trying to import. I’m reinstalling to see if it will work.....

Moving my rating to three stars as reinstalling worked. Still just ok. I think a tutorial would help but some things I’d like to see are the capabilities to edit your photos in app to create the video instead of having to import a video into the app.

Developer Response ,

Hey there Bananasg great ideas! Thanks for your suggestions :) Anymore just shoot us an email. We really listen to everyone’s ideas. That’s what makes this app better with each update. ohhihello@destroyallcircuits.com

This App Rules!! -Like seriously

Immediately out the gates this was both fun and nostalgic with the retro-wave graphics. Turns out I love merging the compliment of old videos I’ve taken with my phone and moshing them together with random stuff. The filters are easy to use, however the options are quite vast if you get deeper into the functions so it was mind blowing when realizing how many options I had but it can be used more basically if you don’t wanna get too deep into the fine details. It’s refreshingly easy to use and the results are totally wicked. Overall, I’d say it’s fun and leaves you with a final product that is both intense and professional looking. Hands down, this is my new favorite app. One warning though... it’s kinda addictive as I just couldn’t put it down once I started. Otherwise, well worth the money and then some.

Needs some UX work.

I know “real data moshing” can’t be real time. But why not at least render a small sample of what the what the output could/would be.

It’s a huge usability issue not being able to actually see what the sliders do.

>The knob on the “select datamosh” screen seems very wonky and should be revisited.

> once i rendered a video and it was put into the “saved videos” screen, I found they were hard to tell apart from others i previously rendered. you might want to have some type of automatic naming convention

> if you’re responding to reviews with “email us and we’ll walk you through the app!” you obviously have a usability issue that needs to be addressed. your app should walk a user through the process.

> Your ad/intro screen seems a little misleading from what the app actually does. maybe create an ad/ intro with your app instead of using after effects or whatever you used ?

> also was bummed the tutorial section is legit a “coming soon!” lol

Hopeful for updates, it seems you have the skeleton of it down, just need to start focusing on the UX side of it. I hope the devs see this as constructive.

We used our app in the advertisement. If you play around with the app and get to know it you’ll find some settings that will match the ad. All videos and audio files behave differently. Did we use after effects to edit the videos hell yea! Love that program.

A lot of what you are saying is covered in the FAQ. With the next update we are putting the FAQ in the description. Maybe the way we have the FAQ button is ambiguous we will take a look We can’t have a preview. Please read why in the FAQ. We wrote a reason and the point of the app is no preview.

You have a lot of great suggestions.

The reason why we are asking to be emailed of people are confused is not because we think the app is confusing but because most people do not understand what DataMosh is or how it works. The app is very linear and walks a person through. People are also confused on the controls. They are random accept for the threshold. Also covered in the FAQ.

People have emailed us with a lot of suggestions and constructive criticisms and that have helped us address them in the updates.

We are fixing the jog wheel. This has been a major complaint.

We created this app because it takes hours to DataMosh and because there are not very many chaotic apps.

*** If you want something that is more predictable we can give you a refund. This app will never be that.

Thanks for the comments!

There are lots of great resources on the net explaining what DataMosh is and the history. We are writing a comprehensive blog Please kindly use our email for suggestions or questions to make the app the best it can be!
