Minvo reviews

DO NOT BUY until infrastructure issues are resolved

Purchase History:

Acquired through AppSumo Tier 5
Later upgraded to $XXX/year Pro+ plan via direct offer
What Works:

Intuitive cutting/editing interface
Basic trimming functions as advertised
Critical Failure Point: Export Processing

4-second clip export: 15+ minute queue time minimum (multiple tests confirmed)
Real-world impact:
Makes even a 60-min monthly export limit theoretical (physically impossible to reach)
22.5x longer processing time than video duration (vs. <10 seconds on mobile apps)
Key Concerns:

Throttling Evidence:

AppSumo users report identical issues across all tiers
Paid subscribers on other platforms face similar constraints

Final Verdict:
Until export benchmarks match 2025 industry standards, this tool actively costs more time than manual editing. Proceed only if you enjoy subsidizing beta tests for broken infrastructure.

Minvo (Minute Video) is an absolute joke with almost no developer support these days. Expect weeks of downtime each month and repeat issues. More importantly, expect this service to not exist by the end of 2025.

I've been using Minvo for over a year now, and while I really like Minvo as a platform but it's achilles heel is the insanely long export times.

So much so that I have to write a review about this because it's NOT acceptable.

I consistently see the message "export in progress but delayed" whenever I'm trying to export a video to download it.

As an example, today, I've been waiting for over 2 hours for it to render a 2 minute video. And it's only at 25% rendered so far.

This happens *ALL* the time. I have to wait hours for my short videos to export and fully render.

Minvo, you need to do WAY better on this. This type of delay is not acceptable.

I recently had the chance to use this software, and although the download times were a bit long initially, the company has clearly addressed those issues. Since then, it has been running smoothly without any problems. When I noticed some pixelation in my videos, I reached out to their support team. They responded promptly, acknowledged the issue, and fixed it by the next day.

I’m really impressed with the caption graphics and how effectively the software generates them. It’s far superior to adding subtitles with other programs I've tried—much more engaging and visually appealing.

Minvo and their customer support definitely deserves 5 stars! I’m so glad I purchased this software when I had the chance!

I appreciate the company’s commitment to quality and customer satisfaction—keep up the great work!

I really like the interface and editing the videos is easy, I like the fact I can save formats to apply across all videos.
Massive downside however is that I cannot get the actual videos out of the platform. The exports take hours (literally hours and hours for a short vid) and then sometimes you just then get the 'fail' notice.
Update 17/5/2025 - now the entire screen has gone black, on both Chrome and Edge. Support is just not there to fix it.
All in all, this has potential but the platform is unreliable and support is not responsive.
I'd have given this 5 stars if I could actually get the videos out.

Worst ltd i've bought

App no longer works- pushed me for a lifetime deal - i bought it just in time for the app to crash.

App just continues to not work. And it appears from other reviews that this is not been addressed and it seems like this company has gone ghost...

Product support is very poor as no agent is available for chat support and AI is responding to quaries everytime which is not effective and giving proper solutions. Also vernacular language captions are not available. Support tickets are never addressed with any proper solution. Big no for this product.

You have to wait hours for a video to download. Horrible support service.
Waste of money

one day i worked and completed that page. the next day i'd been logged out, and when i logged back in the interface was different and all my work and edits and changes from the last few days have been lost.

Videos get removed from your work without your warning, then asking you to find new ones?? The MAGIC MOMENTS, feature has been reset to limit the amount you can add. The export feature is awful, it doesnt make for good workflow.

The customer support is non-existent, and the dubbing service has stopped working.

I had even purchased the lifetime version for Dubbing, but it no longer works.
Occasionally, someone responds to the chat on the website, telling you to wait for the process to finish: I’ve been waiting for 27 hours for the processing of a 35-second video.

It was working decently until a few days ago.

It’s ridiculous that people like this exist and that Appsumo can’t keep them out of the professionals on their platform.
