  • Love this app!! but…

    Loads of creative and original gifs along with the standards people love. I do wish they’d go back to the old way of categorizing gifs so it’s easier to find the newer more original ones. Currently, the same tired ones you see all over the internet are prioritized and hat includes ones that are personalized for specific people (UGH, most of us can’t use those!!!). Also, FIX the save function!! I find unique gifs, save them using your folder function and when I go back later, the folder is empty. EMPTY!! Meaning I just wasted my time and even worse, I can’t find those super cool gifs now, because you’ve changed the search function.

  • Full Access Just Isn’t Acceptable

    So I’ve used this app for a while and it did its purpose. It was a little slow to load some images at times, and it’s not organized very well, but the search feature got me what I needed. The problem is the app and I guess other keyboards require full access to your phone and see everything you type or even have previously typed if you re-install. This is a crazy security risk and just too much for my liking. The company tries to downplay the significance but this is a big deal. I can’t have a random developer seeing everything I type like credit card numbers. 3 stars at first because the app generally did what it needed to do despite this huge security risk, but dropped to 2 because the app brushes past this issue and doesn’t mention it at all when instructing you to download and allow full access. It would be better to address it head on. Shady

  • Mostly good

    This is my favorite Go-To keyboard for gifs when texting, and I can always find at least something close enough to what I’m saying. It’s easy to search through and use, and updates regularly.
    The only thing that bugs me ALL THE TIME is that I can’t disable the “Trending” or “Suggested” searches. I don’t want them or need any of them, so I shouldn’t have to be forced to have it listed in my recent list, when I’m trying to get back to my previous conversation banter. It never goes away, and pushes out my recent searches, putting that crap list there, that doesn’t pertain to anything I want.
    Do me a favor, give us an option to disable the trending suggestions list, so that our OWN recent search history can be provided accordingly.
    Thanks 🙄

  • Real review, from a real person, about a real good app.

    First off I am an actual person doing an actual review. I didn’t get paid or receive anything for this (it would be cool though devs!) just kidding guys. But honestly, this is the best app for .gifs out there!! None of the others can touch this app! I’m into a lot of underground and lesser known media, and I’ve found a gif for it all. If you don’t believe me, I bet you don’t know who Old Gregg is, I do, and there’s over 20 gifs of him and lines from the skit. Guys, I’ll be downloading this on every phone I have as long as I possibly can. I love it. I have not one single negative thing to say!!! KEEP IT GOING DEVS!!!

  • Easy to use

    It’s Free and Easy to use and quite useful when I am messaging my loved ones. Especially when I am in dire need of that right gif or motion sticker to express myself visually. The keyboard and it’s user interface are easy to use and it’s easily accessible directly from the message being created at the time. This app plays a pivotal role in daily messaging and social networking habits. My favorite feature used in the app is having the ability to generate a word search of the precise media your looking for, allowing you to organize and store content found into categorized folders and sub-folders for future use. Oh yeah best of all have I mentioned that the app is ENTIRELY FREE TO USE!

  • I love Tenor but I don’t love being “forced” to give permissions

    I installed the Tenor app b/c I use it in desktop a lot. It was great at first—Easy to install and setup, easy to use in texts, etc. But now any app that allows any form of messaging has a giant banner that says something about enabling full access, instead of just access to my Messages app. According to Apple forums, there’s no way to get rid of the banner (and it’s super easy to accidentally click it and have to back out and go back to what you were doing due to all the real estate it takes up on the screen) unless you give those permissions. Tenor says it’s “not as scary as it sounds,” but when you’re someone who uses privacy apps like Signal, you don’t want to give 3rd parties ability to read all of your typing! So I deleted it. Gave it 3 stars b/c it’s very fun and functional, but not enough to be willing to be coerced into doing something I’m not comfortable with. I will definitely redownload if they rectify this in the future.

  • App is disorganized

    1) there’s 3 different instances of the app. The keyboard top bar select, the actual selectable keyboard, and the app itself
    2) all 3 instances are missing features from one another. So if there’s something you want to do or settings you want to change, good luck finding which instance to use...
    3) stickers will only show up in their own distinctive category if you use the top bar select version, However you can’t use your account version. If you use the keyboard itself you can’t really tell what a sticker is from just another gif. If you use the app itself you can only manage your library but cannot search for stickers at all.

    The app does what is advertised but it seems any effort to streamline or improve is absent. So overall annoying most of the time but if there could be any feature I’d like to see added would be the ability to view only stickers.

  • Let’s just say I have not yet....

    Let’s just say I have not yet deleted this app because I found it pretty useful, not to mention when you sent it it’s someone they don’t expect it and it cracks them up because it’s a great expression of how we actually feel without trying to explain it. You just known. Lol. It cracks me up. Because that’s exactly how be feeling. Into read about how they are working together with Google while improving their product they’re brand. This is great for advanced technology and I look forward to seeing other products and services from Tenor. Great job cause I know this isn’t even the beginning yet. Watch what I say Tenor will be a major household name. L. Chatman

  • Appreciative Husband and Father

    As a husband and a father, in our world of rapidly expanding social media with its scary pitfalls (some of which, I believe, purposely lure youth and children into inappropriate subject matter), I appreciate being able to quickly find and send appropriate images to my wife and family. There are some images which I do find unsuitable, and others that are clearly raunchy and disgusting, and I can ignore them. However, my children are often allowed to use my phone; I am concerned that your images/gifs may be too easily accessible by children: are there filters available to set on devices to which children have access?

  • One to two steps too many

    I like the GiF’s very much. However it would be nice if they would sub-categorize further I didn’t put emoji separate show me the photos as well as any stickers, animated or not. Takes a lot of time to go through all of them to think the exact one you want. I would like to be able to cut and paste into something other than an actual message but somewhere in that messenger app itself. So that it is easier and closer at hand. Perhaps if it could detect a word in your text a GIF or two from your favorites would pop up and are you have to touch it a couple of times for it to go onto the message
