New app

**Videa: AI Video Maker, Effects** is a mobile app developed by **PURE APPS** (a company based in Istanbul, Turkey) that uses artificial intelligence to generate fun, viral-style short videos primarily from photos. It's available on both **Google Play** (Android) and the **App Store** (iOS), released around early 2025.

### Key Details from the Store Listing (as in your screenshot):

- **Rating**: 4.5 stars (based on ~29K reviews on Android)

- **Downloads**: Over 1 million

- **Content Rating**: Everyone (E)

- **Monetization**: Free to download, contains ads and in-app purchases (credits/tokens for generations)

- **Developer**: PURE APPS

### What the App Does

Videa specializes in **photo-to-video AI effects** — you upload one or two photos, select a template/effect, and the AI generates a short animated video. It's designed for quick, entertaining content perfect for social media (TikTok, Instagram Reels, etc.).

Popular features include:

- **AI Kiss**: Upload two photos → AI creates a romantic kissing scene.

- **AI Hug**: Blend two photos into a heartwarming embrace (great for family/friends).

- **Superhero Transformation**: Turn a photo into an action-packed superhero video.

- **Dancing Videos**: Animate a still photo to dance realistically.

- **Other effects**: Animated overlays (Pikadditions), cinematic filters, artistic styles, and more trending templates (e.g., baby effects, flying, etc.).

- It also supports basic slideshows, reels, and some text-to-video or image-to-video generation.

The app emphasizes **fast, intuitive creation** — no advanced editing skills needed, with results in minutes using advanced AI models (it integrates services like Kling, Pika, PixVerse, etc., behind the scenes).

### Pros (Based on Description and Positive Feedback)

- Easy for beginners.

- Produces polished, shareable viral-style videos quickly.

- Wide variety of fun, emotional, and transformative effects.

### Cons (From User Reviews)

Many reviews are mixed, especially around monetization:

- **Credit/Token System**: Most generations cost "coins" or tokens. Free users get limited starter credits; additional ones require in-app purchases.

- Complaints about subscriptions being misleading (e.g., annual sub gives a one-time batch of credits, not unlimited).

- Some users report inconsistent AI results (may take multiple tries/credits for good output) and no refunds.

- Limited free trials — hard to test extensively without paying.

- Overall, it's praised for quality when it works but criticized for being paywalled heavily.

If you're into creating quick meme-like or sentimental AI videos (e.g., animated kisses/hugs from photos or superhero edits), it's a solid option in a crowded field of similar apps (like Ginly AI, PixOne, etc.). Just be aware it's not fully free for heavy use.
