Boomerang from Instagram

Its ok. It works pretty good and it does what it says. All I would have added was a timer. Because its hard to take the boomerang hands free without a timer. Also whenever I'm offline it struggles to save my boomerangs and it usually stops. Otherwise its a very good app and i would recomment it to everyone.

The usa is the only one to blame for the property he dwells is the property of egyptian all the 500,000 propertys around the world and management teams of OSIRIS AND KING SOLOMAN AND ALL SHALL REMIND WHO IS THE OWNER OF WHAT

Crashes too often. How can the rating be this high lol. I used this app on multiple devices. It worked great for about a week. Then it started crashing after it saves and before its shared, problem is i didnt actually save them

Worst app.. Have reported this app a lot of times but still they don't fix it.. Keeps crashing on the lenovo vibe x3.. Cannot save the videos.. Crashes everytime we save a video.. No fix yet from past so many months.. Disappointed.. Would give it zero stars if there was an option..

Im confused. First the auto focus gets locked at a particular point but when you start the GIF, the focus starts running around, blurring and refocusing on the image. Im pretty sure im not the only person experiencing this.

It's ok. I don't suppose the majority of the users will have a tripod on hand. I thus think it's vital to have an AutoFocus lock and some sort of digital stabilization. Apart from the rebound effect it would be nice to have an option to simply loop or fade to the beginning. Increasing the recording duration would be nice too.

i'm unable to save the videos. In the beginning i was able to save the videos after 4-5 videos now I'm unable to save the boomerang in my phone i can create it and share it that's all.. when i click the save button it's says saving but that is saved now where. I'm using One plus 3 so there is no storage problem in my phone.pls fix this bug

It was a good app until the color stopped working. It saves in blue and white mostly. It will capture the video in the right color and format, but it won't save that way. Its not my camera ,my pictures some out fine. I have re-installed this app several times all with the same outcome. I tried contacting boomerang but they won't respond.

Great app. Just wish it gave you one more second. Also the video thumbs don't show in my Boomerang gallery. I have to play them to know which one it is which is mildly annoying. Easy to use and upload your Boomerangs at the click of a button. Overall so much fun.

Should be part of Instagram. No need for two apps.... Edit: you need to record with this app to make a "boomerang?" No way am I going to record things with this app just to do that. Why can't I make one from existing videos?

Hi boomerang, i really like ur app, but I keep wondering why android don't have hidden settings menu tap display four times using four fingers function like the iPhone? I really really love it if you add the function in android too. Pretty pleaseeee

On a Samsung galaxy s8 plus the app started creating corrupted files with inverted looking colors. I want it to start working again!!! Looks fine after video was taken but once you save it the colors don't line up with the video and it looks faded!! It's been broken for 3 months so far!!!! Help fix this problem!!

Why isn't there a rotate option?? Such a basic tool to have. I hate it when my video decides to play flipped the wrong direction and there's nothing I can do about it. Also needs more editing options.

For horizontal video, it crops out a huge chunk of the top and bottom of the video (yes, even when I try to use the option for the video to be fitted) when I try to share it on Instagram. Which doesn't make sense to me. Isn't this app supposed to work cohesively WITH Instagram?

There's no way to use this app with videos you've already taken. When my phone takes a picture, every photo has 3 seconds of video recorded before the photo was taken. Sometimes something really funny happened there! IG gives me an error message that those videos are too short to share, so I thought I could upload and share them on this app--nope. It really sucks that this app has to be opened and recording to catch something because the best content are already little parts of other home videos!

Just like every other galaxy s8 user, this app has become unusable. Videos appear fine when taken, but once saved the videos have their color distorted (some kind of misalignment). Tried reinstalling and still experience same problem.

It always refocuses in the middle of a boomerang so you get this big, blurry jump in the middle and I've tried to counteract this by tapping to focus before hand but it never works.. Also now it stops working half way through so you get the beginning and the end but in the middle, there's just a jump and it won't go away.. This has only started happening lately tho. But when they do work, they're very nice

Doesn't delete Booms that I've discarded and when I come to record a new one, either keeps the original or appears with a blank screen. Love the stabilisation and speed options. Be nice to be able to configure number of shots taken to make a Boomerang

Yes, it only records a video snippet, but U can slow down the playback in editing as well as trim. Maybe if you had a few more seconds recorded to trim, it would be something I would consider a "GoTo App".

It automatically closes when i try to use it. And so many times when i captured a superb boomerang, i felt glad after that. But it automatically closes and doesn't save my shot anywhere in my redmi 2...... plz do something guyz.... if this bug would be fixed, than i'll give this app 5 stars.... plz plz...... plz

What a way to ruin a moment. My birthday cake disappear after I left the screen to sleep. WTF why can't you make it auto save? Now I had eaten the cake the moment won't be there anymore

Something is wrong with the app. My Boomerangs look normal when previewed, but once their saved and ready to lost, they're ALL glitchy, pixelated and in black & white. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the app 4 times, restarted and powered off my phone, and it STILL is acting up. Happened out of nowhere too cuz it was working fine up until a week ago!

Too simple, no functionality, a gimmick better recreated with a simple video editor. You can't rotate videos, you can't use pre-existing videos, the re-focus issue is horrible causing hundreds of re-shoots and when you finally get it perfect instagram crops half of it out.

I already have a short animation made from pictures in my own gallery, yet I can't use them on here and/or upload them directly to IG. Seems like a lot of people are having this problem. Maybe someone should look into it.

Have a problem. I've used this app before with no issues. New phone Galaxy S8. The blues, reds, and greens are separating into three different positions within the saved boomerang with the rest being black and white. Everything else on phone with find, boomerang directly within Instagram works fine. Solution Please.

Great app but IG seems to pay it no attention. It doesn't seem to be actively developed and still has no new features since launched. How about up to 3 second videos, adding music, etc?

I downloaded when instagram had a button/link for it. It seemed like a cool idea to take a moment of a pre-existing video already taken, then loop a key part of it, at least that was the idea I assumed since it was linked from instagram. Unfortunately, this is not the case. The only way to loop is to take video at the given moment and you can't use pre-existing videos to post. This went from what I thought was an additional tool app for instagram like their layout app, to basically what now looks like a 2 sec loop ripoff of snapchat.

Really great app, it's cool and original, but I really want you guys to enable a front-flash option so that when it's dark out or you don't have good lighting, you can still look good and have a crisper video. Another thing you should add is an option to choose how long you want your Boomerang video to last. Add those and I'll rate 5 stars!!

I like it it's fun. But i only downloaded it from a link on instagram thinking i could use it to edit a video i had already captured only to find out that i couldn't and i would have to capture the video again through this app. I like the idea of taking a few seconds from a pre existing video and editing it into this. Please add a feature where we can edit pre existing videos I would get a lot more use out of it if it had that feature

This app isn't working on my lenovo vibe x 3.. tried making a lot of videos with friends and we all were so disappointed as it wasn't saving or uploading anything. Error occurred every single time. I reinstalled and emptied quite a bit of memory for it. Still it isn't working, please check this problem.

I really like boomerang but to really be integrated with Instagram there needs to be either a square layouts, a grid for square, or the ability to move your video, or the ability to crop. After you take the shot it says you can crop your video but it decides where the square is and you can't move it. So you have to keep trying the shot so that it's in the frame how you want it. Drives me crazy!!!!!

Bad News: The short length of video makes it hard to use with any free video editor app. If you were too make the length of the video optional and more compatible with video collage editors it would be 5 stars for me. GOOD NEWS: it works great with my Samsung s5

Its very good and i really like it but. After do boomerangs, The video crash and its to many flash . Its became like that if i try to save. Evey time. Pls fix this. And the other problem is. If i want to share to instagram, Its not turning well. The video of boomerangs a bit dissapoint me. I cannot share. Thus, I use to edit ma video to balck and white bcs of to many flash after i do boomerang but the problems still the same. U cant share it. The video is crash at badly. Pls fix this, ❤

I've installed, used, deleted multiple times over the past 3 days, the reason being is that every boomerang I take produces discolored results. The videos color is gone and creates over lay type snippets of the original image in color. Odd and unfortunate. My device is galaxy s8 plus

I like the idea, but the app is frustrating in that there are no options or menus of any kind. Plus, when I tell it to save, it says it does, but those 'saved' videos never show up on my phone, so I effectively lose whatever video I shot. Very frustrating

Videos too fast and Jerky. Would be great if some minor adjustments could be made to frame rate and other things. Apparently the function is there so why not make it accessible instead of hiding it behind some impossible four finger tap command?

The quality goes down after posting. It's not very clear and I'm very particular about the quality of my videos and photos. I hope this gets fixed soon. EDIT: This has not been updated since October and nothing has improved.

I wish we could edit these after saving the file. I try to save them quickly when I'm making boomerangs of my daughter so we can keep going, and then when I go back and look and it's not perfect I want to slow it down or trim it, etc., and I can't. Or at least I don't think I can. If I'm missing something let me know, and I'll happily change my rating to 5 stars.

Terrible quality video, especially when you crop into square (can't even select where to crop into square). Limited editing options (only can add a filter and crop video through app). Can't tag users or even geotag either. You've got something good here but it needs more investment. Come on!

Pls fix this problem. I've been trying to upload my old and newest vids from boomerang app but it doesn't work. I was trying to reinstall the instagram app, and not a thing has changed. It could be the problem from boomerang itself
