In their words
A few representative reviews from the current wave:
"desde la última actualización, sale error al generar video"
"Hola he estado trabajando bien, pero ahora han cambiado de 1080 a 720 la descarga de videos, de que sirve pagar si no vas a poder descargar un video de calidad. espero lo resuelvan"
"encuentro espectacular la forma del aplicativo. pero al momento de generar un vídeo me aparece errores. las fotos perfecto. será un tema de configuración?"
Is Google Flow down or just buggy?
A surge in 1-star reviews is not the same as a confirmed outage, but it is an early signal that something changed. If you are hitting the same problem, you are not alone. Checking the most recent reviews is the fastest way to tell whether it is a widespread issue or specific to your device, and whether the developer has acknowledged it yet.
