Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Looking at 114 reviews, most reviewers were somewhat happy with their experience overall. Many customers appreciate the ease of recording and editing gameplay clips, finding the process smooth and simple. The ability to post full 10-minute videos without a premium subscription is seen as a significant benefit, and the editor is often praised for its user-friendliness and available tools. Reviewers consistently highlight the excellent and responsive customer service, noting quick replies and effective problem-solving. However, a significant number of users report issues with the application's stability, including frequent crashes, lagging, and problems with clips not rendering or being lost. Some also express frustration with the app's uninstallation process, its tendency to open a browser in the background, and unexpected changes to settings. There are also complaints about the app requiring frequent updates and sometimes interfering with game performance, causing crashes or input delays.

worst clipping app in the world

worst clipping app in the world. the application always glitches, you need to buy stuff to actually upload them, and its overall just complicated. additionally, it takes forever to just clip stuff

Sorry to hear that, glitches how? And you definitely don't need to pay to upload clips, only screen recordings due to safety concerns. Feel free to reach out to support and we can take a look at the issues you are encountering! https://support.medal.tv/support/tickets/new

Great app

Great app, captured lots of moments with it. It does require lots of updates though, which can be annoying sometimes, but overall it's great.

Clipping Issue

Had some issues with my medal not clipping randomly one day (unsure to why this occurred) but I reached out to medal on discord and created a ticket, a couple hours later Tim (who had helped me before with some issues) emailed me back and sent me some steps to walk me through the process. It took a minute to figure out since I’m not computer savvy but ultimately purging medal and reinstalling helped with my clipping. Out of everyone that tried to help Tim did the most my far and is the only one that responded back, so I am very grateful for his help! Thank you again!

This app is amazing

The clips are greatly made, quick to upload and is perfect when you need to record something instantly. There are even quests for the games you like who makes medal even more fun. I highly recommend.

Very easy to use, Very helpful

App is easy to use and very customizable to what you need. Had a relatively major issue at some point and they were super helpful with resolution advice and following up emails to make sure I got the issue fixed.

Initially I had issues with medal

Initially I had issues with medal, where it wouldn't launch or recognize the game I wanted to record.

I'm happy to say with diligence of the medal teams, the issues and bugs are no longer an issue. It's by far the best game recording program I've run across. Easy interface, lots of editing options, plus a cool social media aspect to follow, like and comment on other medal creators. I highly recommend!!

From decent to terrible without an update.

Although I have some drawbacks, I will be uninstalling this program.
The Good:
- Efficient clipping program that allows for me to review and store many video game clips at a time and records at all times.
The Bad:
- Premium restrictions, although lessened over time, allow for the favoring help-wise for people who pay money and not for the many others who do not.
- Major performance reduction and memory take-up that does not balance out compared to its use.
- Clips can commonly break or perform at painfully low performance.
- Certain games physically cannot be run with Medal on as they require enough resources on their own.
The Ugly:
- SUPER buggy oftentimes, with many of my complained issues having no real source of identification or clear fix.
- One day (when the program did NOT UPDATE and I changed NO settings), I woke up to find all of my clips that I make at absolutely terrible quality and performance despite game efficiency. The clips worked perfectly normally the day before and nothing changed at all.
- Shows up as your "Played Game" on Discord instead of your actual game.
- Despite the many attempts, the "Help" section failed to address the problem correctly, and I still experience this issue.

Medal has become one of my my favourite…

Medal has become one of my my favourite desktop apps the past year, being able to edit and upload fun moments with my friends to share with others, or just keep track of memories with unlisted / local clips has been a really fun experience.

There's a great abundance of talented people that make use of the built-in editor, or import feature to give you some fun things to watch even if you're just browsing. I find myself sometimes opening medal just like any other social media to browse and actually having fun!

There are clearly some big bugs that need ironed out, with things like the "currently unsupported" editor (according to support emails, but specified nowhere else) crashing or breaking clips permanently amongst other general errors in the app like the screen going black on lower-end devices when a game is open.

I will say though, Medal has an amazing support team and every time I've had any significant issue they've been very friendly, professional and helped me through it to the best of their ability.

In my opinion, they clearly care about their community, consistently rolling out updates - sometimes even multiple per day. The team really doesn't feel corporate like many other big companies (at the time I write this review), & you can chat to many of the devs in the discord server if you wish.

Overall I highly recommend Medal 👍

I remember trying to look for memes on youtube and saw nothing great, but medal had this nice little niche list of trending stuff and i knew what to use. Pretty much helpful, great editing "software" sometimes, if you dont have stuff like CapCut or wanna use any of those.
