Leave a Review GIF Keyboard
Full Access isn’t necessary, so why are they forcing it?
When you click full access your phone warns you that they can see all your keystrokes INCLUDING the ones made before you even installed the app. Which means if they wanted to they can go through your history and take your PII (Personally Identifiable Information) if you’ve typed in your SSN, date of birth, bank and bank card details, emails, phone numbers, addresses, sensitive personal information, etc. If you’re a parent then they’ll have the information of your children and family. Now I don’t think they’ll use any of your bank information, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be stolen by someone else. Not to mention they sell out your data to other companies and corporations. There’s no reason I can find for them forcing you to allow full access. Too many risks and all it takes is someone going rogue and stealing your identity. I say better safe than sorry; download a gif keyboard that doesn’t require full access.Show lesstraentai
Why do you need full access?
The gifs are fun but a lot of them are repetitive and it doesn't seem like they update them. Ever. The part that makes me uneasy is the "full access" part that you have to accept if you want to use it. To be honest, I've been using it for a long time with full access allowed because I thought it would only transmit what I typed on this particular keyboard, but in the back of my head I always felt concerned and now I'm just not comfortable taking that risk unless they clearly specify that they can only access what I type while using their keyboard bc I never type anything private in their keyboard I just search for gifs. But they don't make this clear so I'm not going to use it anymore. Also I really don't understand WHY they need full access. I'm not an IT person but i've never had any other app asked me for that so I really don't know why it's needed.Show lessninacavini
Ok but forcIng full access now?
had this on my old phone and enjoyed it but installing it on my new phone it now wont let me install without granting FULL access to my keybord which IOS warns me will allow them to view ALL of my keystrokes including card numbers etc. Do they want my credit card numbers? probably not but they DO want to know everything i type everywhere, so they can sell my demographics and data. You used to be able to deny that access and have it ad an app where you could just open it, search for a gif,copy it and then paste it into whatever app you wanted. and it is aggressievly reminding me every time i write ANY text ANYWHERE even as i write this review, with a big popup that encroaches on my keyboard, obscuring my view at the bottom of my input box....it is BLOCKING my predictive text and causing itself to be pressed inadvertently wheb i try and use letters on the top row. the popup will gladly funnel me to allow Full access. ya know what? i will live without this app!Show lessnargalsious
R.I.P. Tenor (Keyboard-Only)
Is Tenor TRYING to kill this app?
Latest update removed Tenor from the iMessage Apps “➕” menu and is now only available if enabled as a third-party keyboard.
The only two keyboards keyboards I use are the native English & Emoji keyboards. Switching between multiple keyboards for anything other than text/emoji is just a clunky user experience — especially since every other iMessage app that I use is already conveniently located in the ➕ menu.
I wouldn’t normally be paranoid about allowing Full Access for a third-party keyboard (if I used them) as long as the keyboard was optional and I could still use the app from the iMessage Apps ➕ menu, but Tenor’s switch to Keyboard-Only feels like a sneaky way to make money off of my data. I can’t see any other reason for this change.
If this truly is an effort by the developer to boost revenue, I wish they would just be transparent about it and make Tenor a paid app/charge for subscriptions while maintaining the iMessage App functionality that I’m used to. I don’t mind paying for quality apps (like Tenor USED to be), but the switch to Keyboard-Only destroys the UX and smells like shady business practices.
I really hope the developer realizes what a huge mistake they’ve made and reverse the changes; but if not — it was fun while it lasted ✌️Show lesssbtokarz
Not the best change (recent update)
Just noticed the recent update today when I went to search for a gif like so many others had been doing, as an app in iMessage.
Don’t get me wrong, the thing still works by switching to a keyboard and searching like usual. However, because everything is rendered in the keyboard area, it’s become far more cumbersome to navigate. The fact that this was all essentially implemented overnight without advanced notice will definitely cause frustration from users.
Between the previous version and the current one, I prefer the previous version. Far easier to navigate and find what I’m looking for. For that alone I have to give a one star rating. To be fair though, I can see others liking the new version. If it isn’t a nightmare to program and maintain, I would recommend giving us, the end users, the choice of what we prefer to use. Either the current “keyboard” or as an iMessage app. Hoping to see the iMessage app return in the future. I’ll be keeping the keyboard installed for now, but will be considering alternatives if it becomes too cumbersome to useShow lessBaaron87
Latest Update broken
Well I have been using this app for years. The last update isn’t working properly on my iphone. Tried sending out a gif and so far my favorites folder is gone. When I do type in the certain gif, it does show a highlighted heart as if it is saved to my favorites but not necessarily there. I checked all my settings, checked my folders or saved folders and favorites just not there. I am unable to send the favorite or other gif’s it kind of boots me out or shut’s down the app completely. I shut it down, deleted the app, re-installed it, signed in and it is the same… buggy and my folders are not there. Problems it never had before. Hopefully another update is required to fix this issue.Show lessJlrio13
Easily the best gif app, could still use some improvements
I’m one of those annoying millennials who uses gifs about 50 times a day, and I’ve tried a lot of different gif keyboard apps. This is definitely my favorite one, with the best selection, most compatibility with Messenger apps that *aren’t* iMessage, and most ease of use. The one thing it could really use is a dedicated list of recent search terms; you can only see your two most recent search terms, then they switch over to show all the trending search terms. I’ve never once needed to access trending gif searches, but I *frequently* have to retype the same searches repeatedly because the app doesn’t keep them listed. It’s frustrating enough to knock a star off my rating, and I’d *love* to see it added!Show lesskittencuffs
This App Has Gone DownHill
Yeah it’s easy to search gifs and whatnot. That’s the /only/ thing it has going for it nowadays. I liked and downloaded this app so I could caption GIFs and it was nice at first… but then it started glitching when I tried to caption certain ones and you have to go through 50 of them before you can finally find one that will let you caption… /if/ you have the patience to find one. (And this particular problem has been happening for years mind you. Since 2017… it is now 2024… 7 whole years and this is still a persistent problem). The app developers will probably not do anything due to the high ratings it receives in the App Store as it makes it look like this app is good and everything is fine. Just be wary if you do download this app, you may be one of the ones lucky enough that this app works to its full capacity, but if you are one of the ones who have had problems with this app… you will continue to have problems with this app. It will be another 7 years and this app will work on and off but mostly off.Show lessMJLoverNerd
The easiest to search gifs!
Way much better than stickers since this pulls up as a keyboard so I can use it with any app (not just iMessages). I have honestly used this app constantly for years now and I love it. There’s just a couple of nitpicks that would improve it: - a frequently used section or recents section would be incredibly helpful - I would appreciate being able to filter out gifs by how big or small they are. It’s quite underwhelming sometimes to scour and find the perfect gif, post it, and it turns out it’s one of the ones that is physically so tiny you can’t really see what’s in it - you can combine gifs in your own “pack” and heart gifs you like, which is great. However, it’s hard to pull these up through the keyboard. (And of course you do have to make an account to keep track of them.) - the keyboard has been randomly crashing a lot lately (like almost constantly). I did just install the latest iOS update, so hopefully that will be fixed.Show lessBeverettt
SOUTH TEXAS BAD BOYS FISHING & HUNTING
This app most definitely has its values it came in extremely useful in my time of need. I lost my son in an auto accident 2 months ago 😢people were calling me from all over, i could not respond at the time I was distraught I needed some time to get a grip on what happened to my son, and I was crying so much I was getting headaches! I needed some time to get a grasp on reality, knowing and understanding I will never see my son again. So I used this app to help me with the burden that I was carrying on my shoulders this app has unlimited data. I’m very thankful for this app for it was presented to me in my time of need, by my son Jay. De Leon (in loving memory Ruben De Leon)Show lessprim6363
