Boomerang from Instagram Customer Insights

1. The app is totally unusable right now!I had the same exact issue as one of the other reviewers, where I took many cool videos and when I went to look at them this weird green screen strip was there as well as this weird orange and black shadow effect almost like an old film effect.

2. Sometimes it seems to play the clip too fast and/or makes it too short to edit, which is frustrating, but that happens rarely; when it works, it's great: clever and witty and imaginative... one of the best.While the app has always worked on all of my Samsung Android phones, I've noticed lately, the videos that are saved can't even be recognized by my device.

3. I've emailed boomerang support with examples but the message has not been responded to.Edit: They finally fixed the issue where it would double film the video.

4. Not anymore and is taking up space on my phone, so I guess I'll delete it since there doesn't seem to be a fixed as this has been an ongoing issue for months.

5. The video looks like it separates with a black and white version at the top of the screen and a colored version at the bottom.

6. Not a 5 star because of the quality of the video once uploaded and because it took so long to fix the problem, but all in all still a good app.

7. My videos are saving either all black; therefore, I can't see the video or all green with lines through the video.

8. I have to open up boomerang through Instagram in order to use it properly, which takes about 5 extra steps, which is annoying when you're trying to capture a fun moment via boomerang.

9. When I make a boomerang through the app, and save the video, it does not play back the way I recorded it.

10. Previously, it didn't look discolored if you took the boomerang through the Instagram app, but I did it yesterday, and that's discolored too.

11. Boomerang used to have its own gallery within the app, to see what you've saved, but I don't even see an option for that anymore, very bizarre.
