Opinion: The app is extremely easy to use, and I found that navigating through it to grab images and videos off of my device was simple and fast. Ambivo does exactly what it says and does things pretty well. Creating slideshows is easy and fun, and I enjoyed the ability to easily add the voice overs and captions, the captions especially.
