Videoblast - Titles & Intros 4+

Uh why on earth do I have to get credits

So when I saw the app, I was like “Wow I can make sick intros?!”
But then I scrolled down to the reviews and I saw some good ones, but then BAD ones. Even tho I saw the bad ones, I was like “I did not try it out so I’m gonna download it.” And when I downloaded it, I straightly went to the app. When I went to templates, it had all these amazing templates! I pressed on one and it wanted me to get credits. I didn’t want to get credits. Four stars.

Great

Im rating this app 5 stars because even though you have to pay for their templates it’s still worth buying. An easy way to use intros with no watermark and it’s very creative, plus if you download their second one which is even better they give you some to start off with so you can use that to buy one of their templates just with the points they gave you. I’m currently using one of their templates and I love my intro and I will be buying more templates cause they are simply worth buying. Thank you guys for the easy way out. 💕

Its just not well designed

The intros look cool but you can’t even get a preview of what your text would look like so choosing one you want is a crap shoot. I decided to buy 2000 credits and try it anyway and then after you want to make a logo they ask for email & password. It seems scammy or at least like they did everything out of order. It should be 1.) create an account, 2.) see previews, 3.) buy credits and 4.) downloadable logo to your phone. Mirroring others on here, there’s no reason it shouldn’t be able to be saved locally to your phone. Why do they need my email? Anyway, I should have read the reviews, my bad for buying the credits before checking this. Lesson learned.

Developer Response ,

Thank you for your feedback. All your points are valid but also will make sense once i explain the app architecture. The app can not give previews since all renders are handled by cloud servers and take a lot time to be rendered so it's not real time.
The app does not ask you to create an account unless you need to create renders, how. many apps ask for account creation without you knowing whether you will use it or not?
An account is needed only so that you have a user on our server where renders from our servers can be sent to. We collect zero data besides what's needed to make the service available. Your email is only used for logging in and customer support. Furthermore our app has always had the ability to purge all data and remove email and accounts. So the reason we don't ask for a sign up up front is because we do not want to add friction for users.
Best,
