Choice to allow the app access to some or all camera roll images.

Cons
You must upgrade to the premium version for the best experience and flexibility in design.
Select music may not be allowed on some social media platforms, resulting in it being removed without warning. (This is not an app defect; rather, it’s something to be aware of when exporting to other platforms.)
Bottom Line: Ideal for novice or experienced story makers, the feature-rich Storybeat app makes it easy to create and share custom content in a matter of minutes.
