Stayfilm for Messenger 0.7.6
Fortunately, there are many applications that help you create all sort of nice files and share them with friends on Messenger. One of those apps is Stayfilm for Messenger. It lets users create nice videos using their pictures and then share them with friends.
Sleek interface with some features
It's always nice to come across applications that provide users with some instructions, to show them how to access features and tools, at the expense of the app's size. Stayfilm for Messenger comes with some tips that you can use but before you can actually access the app, you'll need to sign in.
Users are allowed to sign in only by using their Facebook account, so if you don't have one you might want to access your computer and create one using your email address.
Have fun with the app
The home screen provides users with the option of choosing a style for their videos, pick from the many options provided on the screen. There's also an icon that assigns a random style and one for accessing films that you've already created.
Next, you'll need to select pictures from your device or your Facebook account. In addition, the app lets you access the camera and snap images. It opens all pictures inside the app, so you wouldn't have to access your picture viewer. This is not necessarily a good thing, since you'll need to scroll a lot to get to your desired images and it doesn't arrange them by folder.
Create videos
Once the pictures were selected, you need to have patience until the app will produce the video. This may take a few minutes and there's no option to speed up the process.
You'll get a preview of the video and the option to send it through Messenger or pick another style. The duration varies depending on the style and the app adds a lot of effects and overlays to your image. Sound is also available.
Unfortunately, you won't be able to save the film to your device or share it on other social networks. In addition, you can access previously created videos only if you send them to a friend on Messenger, otherwise the app won't save them.

Bottom Line
Design / UI8
The interface is quite fluent, with some tips and options but it could use a side menu with settings. |
Function7
It works just fine, but it would have been nice if it let you preview styles or make some changes to videos. |
Security9
It shouldn't pose any privacy issues since the app only needs access to areas of your phone that are connected to its features. |
Battery6
Consumption is a bit high, keep an eye on resources when using this app as it can drain your battery. |
Price10
It's completely free of charge, it doesn't have any ads or in-app purchases. |
Compatibility7
It only works on devices running Android version 4.1 or later, making it inaccessible to some users. |
It's a nice app but it needs some improvements.
