Aloriam review for Promo.com ‑ Promo Video Maker

Aug. 25, 2021

Promo is a very easy app to use, so I definitely give it a thumbs up for having virtually no learning curve. The reason for my 3 star rating however is that there are severe limitations to its functions. Here's my take: -- the character limit is too short -- does not allow user to add more text lines -- does not allow user to change text location or text size -- does not allow user to add more photos to feature more products (most of the templates only allow 2 or 3 photos - why so few?) -- does not allow resizing of video -- does not allow download of video (a dealbreaker for me because I couldn't get my Instagram to connect to this app, so the only way for me to post it is if I can download the video and then manually post it) -- does not support posting to Pinterest -- very limited selection of templates ------------ Overall, I think the developers have a good idea here. The templates have a polished feel and the paired music is good. It makes content creation relatively painless from existing photos in your Shopify store. I hope they will make more improvements to allow users a greater degree of flexibility in editing text, adding text, resizing and downloading video, and making longer videos to feature more products.
