Cons
App crashes or stalls frequently when importing content from phone’s library.
The app requires a bit of a learning curve similar to any video editing software.
Bottom Line: Though the app still has some kinks to work out when it comes to functionality, VlogIt is a full-featured editor with all the bells and whistles YouTube creators need. It’s perfect for those who shoot content on the fly but with the import and crashing issues, creators may prefer to stick to the native YouTube editor to create and edit videos for now.
