Kizoa

I'd no major issues for the past few years with Lifetime Membership - but now it's suddenly stopped working - the Kizoa.com web URL is invalid to access the program, and without notification, it appears that you cannot upload music files more than a few seconds long anymore - what use is the program in that condition? I paid good money in good faith for my lifetime membership. My emails to customer service are being rejected via Google, so i'm completely in the dark - as one other disgruntled purchaser remarked, 'we need to be informed about things like this' - urgently.

Kizoa - When will these functions be restored?

I'd been using web. Photodex for a few years to make quick slideshows for clients but it was a bit too automated for me. I wanted to customize more without paying an additional hefty fee since it already costs several hundred dollars a year. Kizoa is more flexible in several areas but it's difficult to precisely edit video segments, select and time music, control music volume over video clips, etc. I've used it less than 5 times so it was a real money waster to get the lifetime membership since I've gone back to editing on my computer.

I am unable to log in and view the program from my iphone. I could view movies on a link but not by going directly to the website. I would hope this is resolved since I have a lifetime membership. The only other issue was sound was not able to be heard on my iphone for a collage. I was told this is a known problem. Possibly creating an app would even be better. Overall, the app itself seems to be fairly to be creative and I'm happy with it.

I have created some slideshows already and overall I had a good experience.

The good:
- lots of animations / backgrounds / templates / transitions / effects to choose from
- photo editor
Allow you to do basic or advanced photo editing
- impressive collage tool
- ability to save and share videos

The bad:
- missing search function
If you want for example to search for "star" in animation
Or for "fade" in transition you have to browse through all categories to find it
- occasional glitches (possible due to cacheing of images)
Some parts of the application are able to rotate pictures based on orientation / exif but other parts not (mostly editors) so occasionally some pictures will be presented rotated.
- missing support ticketing system
All requested are responded but you don't know if they will solve your issue and when
- while editing slides one by one you have to remember to save frequently or you will lose your work.

I use Kizoa on a weekly basis for my microbusinesses. It is a reliable product at a reasonable price with excellent customer service. I have a lifetime subscription for my business... but... here's the problem: Kizoa is Flash-based, it has been down for several weeks, and we all know Flash is going away next year. What we need to be looking for is companies that can do the same thing with HTML5. I haven't found any yet. I certainly do hope Kizoa is able to get back online, because of all the options I tried while it was down, it's still by far the best - when it works! FWIW per Mike's review I was able to access my account via kizoa.it and make a video, so thanks for that, Mike!

Surprisingly fun, easy, and very customizable way to make slideshows. Just what I was looking for.
Was led to this site from google claiming it to be somehow free but found their rates were $30 for a lifetime download access. There should at least be a one-time presentation purchase as an option.
Still, I went on and completed the presentation because I enjoyed its flow.
The presentation is annoyingly buggy though, with some slides randomly taking more than the specified time. I hope for a free one-time dl of my Jacobs presentation please.

I am also in the same spot as you guys. Looking for the site to up for the last 48 hours and already talked to that lady for multiple times and she is promising that it will be back within hours but not yet. I am also frustrated about the situation, all my work is there and i have an important presentation this Saturday. I already told the lady that if the website is not coming back soon they will be in trouble. Hope it will come back soon...

I liked the program a lot in the past... but what to do now...

Offers lots of Variety and is easy to use. Could use a wider variety of animations. It's heavy on the love/wedding theme. I use it for real estate videos and wish there were more things on it related to home. But other than that, I love it!
