Quick verdict
If you edit video regularly on mobile and want proper tracks, color and audio control, LumaFusion is well worth the one-time price, especially on iPad. Android users should check that their device runs it well before buying.
Best for Creators and journalists who want a real multitrack video editor on a phone or tablet without paying a subscription

LumaFusion review
LumaFusion is a one-time-purchase video editor that brings a desktop-style workflow to phones and tablets. You get six video or graphics tracks plus six more audio-only tracks, a timeline that can work either magnetically or track by track, keying for green screen work, color correction with scopes and LUT support, keyframing, and layered titles. It suits YouTubers, mobile journalists, students and anyone who has outgrown simple clip trimmers but does not want to move to a laptop.
In daily use it feels like a real editor that happens to be built for fingers. Trimming, layering and audio mixing are quick once you learn the gestures, and you can record voiceover while the edit plays back. On iPad it can show a preview on an external monitor, and on supported Samsung devices Dex mode gives you a bigger screen. Expect a learning curve if you have only used template-based apps.
Why we picked it: It offers multitrack editing, color tools and audio controls for a single upfront price, with no subscription needed for the core editor.
Watch out for: The Android version is rated noticeably lower than the iOS one, and some features listed for iOS, such as the stabilizer and voice isolation, do not appear in the Android listing.
What we like
- Six video or graphics tracks plus six separate audio tracks
- Choice of magnetic or traditional track-based timeline
- Color correction with waveform, vectorscope, histogram and LUT import
- Detailed audio tools including parametric EQ, keyframed levels and ducking
- One-time purchase for the core app rather than a subscription
What could be better
- Upfront price of 29.99 USD with no free trial version in the stores
- Android release has a lower rating and a slightly shorter feature list than iOS
- Takes time to learn compared with template-driven editors
- Some extras are sold separately as in-app purchases
