  • Amazing ❤️

    Absolutely love it. I’ve been wanting to make a gif for my favorite mobile game, Celtic Heroes, but I couldn’t do that without showing the hotbar, healthbar, and the minimap. So I was specifically looking for an app that had good reviews and I could zoom in with. The other apps I tried/looked at had neither. I thought that this app didn’t have that feature, so I’m SO happy with this app! Now I have some really awesome gifs of my Celtic Hero on her black steed with her white wolf beside her while a dragon glides behind! Plus, I could add a beautiful text with my toon’s name. Love it! ❤️
    Only thing I’d suggest is making the trimming more accurate. I’d trim it at first and find it just a little off when I went to crop it. But that’s not too big of a deal.
    Wonderful app, love it, download it, have some fun with it! 👍

    Hello, thank you for your support and awesome review! We will consider the trimming feature to more accurate later. 😘
  • Few missing features, Compression seems inefficient

    I really like this app overall—it has lots of features and allows conversion from and from numerous formats. The user interface is also really good. Now, I'll list concerns/missing features in order of importance:

    1. One additional feature that I would really appreciate is the ability to set the output specs of the GIF during the save process, for example: resolution, frame rate (I realize this can be set globally, but I would very much prefer to be able to manipulate it during the output process), index palette (number of colors, perceptual, adaptive, custom, web, etc—similar to the GIF options in Adob Animate), and dithering (error diffusion, noise, halftone, none—again, similar to Adob Animate).

    2. Output GIF compression seems off (possibly due to background choices being made in '1.' above). When comparing the output file size to GIFs generated with other tools, it seems really large on high or medium quality (and there is a huge and noticeable drop-off on low).

    3. It would also be nice to be able to adjust things like sharpness/noise, contrast, brightness, saturation/vibrance, shadows/highlights, tint/temp,

    4. Frame-by-frame GIF editing, ideally as layers similar to using GIMP.

    Thanks again for a great app, and I hope to see continued development.

    Hello. Thank you for using the ImgPlay and we appreciate your detailed feedback. Haver you ever tried our updated version(newer than v5.0, currently v5.0.3)? Please check our comment as following: 1. In the updated version, you can change frame rate and index palette. We will consider to add other output spec too in the future. 2. We improved our GIF compression on the updated version. Also, next version, you will be able to save the file in the desired size. We will keep improving the compression. 3. In the updated version, you can adjust the effect such as brightness, contrast, saturation, warmth and sharpen! 4. In the updated version, you can delect the frame or reorder the frame. But we do not support the layer feature yet. We will check if we can add this feature in the future. Thank you so much for your feedback 👍
  • Best GIF App

    Edit 2: Thank you for the help!! I got it to work, I just had to update my iOS version. :)

    Edit 1: I’ve been trying to restore the pro version but it keeps saying that it failed to connect to the iTunes Store? So it only worked once and now I can’t unlock the pro features again.

    From past GIF maker apps I’ve downloaded, this one’s probably the best. It’s just what I was looking for (btw I got this app months ago) and everything about it is great! But sometimes, the frames don’t work properly. Like, I use the back and fourth button so the GIF’s frames can go from the first frames to last, but it can get a little messed up, idk. I recommend this app though!

  • One of THE best tool apps of all time.

    Okay I don’t leave reviews often but I had to leave one here. I’ve had EVERY SINGLE gif app on the AppStore (even foreign ones that I taught myself how to use) and then FINALLY this one came out. It is by far the best gif app that exists. Please take my word on this. It does literally everything I could ask for and more. (Seriously the features are endless. I can’t stress this enough.) PLUS the export quality is PERFECT. (You can choose lower quality too)

    Thank you SO SO SO much for this app.
    It saved my life. This app is seriously everything.

  • Display problem

    If adding the same frames/pics, there is a problem with the display. It shows them in a mirrored order of the frames that were already there. I.e. it shows them as if you were making a back-and-forth animation a bit more manually. I.e.even if that isn't how you added the repeated frames. This causes some majorly frustrating confusion. But after you add the repeats of the frames, immediately click "done", then go back to the frame display, and they'll appear in your order.

  • Almost perfect BUT...

    Firstly this is a great app with an intuitive design. You can easily turn your burst photos into videos or gifs. Lots of great options and effects, etc. BUT unfortunately if you have a burst over 200 photos you cannot use the entire burst, instead you must select a portion of the burst to work with. I hope the developer updates to allow us to use for bursts over 200 photos. Also would be nice if there were an option for exports to retain original location & date EXIF data.

  • Almost great...

    I wrote this yesterday before the update today, but let’s hope these are still eventually fixed. Thanks.
    I think this app is 1 of the best apps in the App Store, but I want to say it’s the greatest, but I can’t just yet... I only have 3 problems with it.
    1) it wouldn’t let me edit a video over a minute. I think it should let’s edit a video far beyond a minute. Maybe like 30 minuets or an hour.
    2) I tried to crop it and it would only crop out 15 seconds of a video that’s a little over a minute.
    3) My last problem was that after I edit a video, the sound is drastically turned down for some unknown reason. Thank you & I hope you guys update this very soon.

  • Good but...

    I paid for this app and I really dislike buying apps. I saw the reviews and decided that the full version was really worth it after much consideration. However, lately the GIFs i make a choppy and not very “smooth flowing” the GIF itself does not play smoothly and the quality of the “high quality GIF” is pretty bad compared to the actual HD video I would start with. Other than this I really do love this app and it is very easy to use! I would also suggest text animations like the app “Legend” on GIFs for this app if its possible!

  • Amazing Animation App Easy/Powerful

    I am a UI designer and barely ever write reviews but this app is so good, so worth it that I wanted to commend the developers. It does what you want quickly and easily. I have Adobe subscriptions living in Photoshop/Illustrator and have tried some of their online iPad/iPhone offerings and this app kills it. What I really like is how u can choose if you want MP4 or GIF at the end since GIFs frequently don't auto play on FB/Instagram.... You guys are the BEST! Sometimes with 500 image bursts it crashes though... Try and fix.

  • Pretty good app.

    *EDIT* Ah, thank you. I must have missed the buttons.

    I use this app with Ibispaint to make animations, and I'm satisfied with what it does. Especially that I'm able to view the gifs I save with this, since I have no other app do that with. My only two complaints so far is that the bar is very sensitive, maybe add + and - icons to up or lower the speed by 1 or 5, and that when I add a drawing with a transparent background it's very dark.
    I rate this app 5 stars because of how useful it is to me.
