### 1/5 — No friendly

*2023-08-15*

Try cut video! It’s impossible!!!

### 1/5 — Honest review here...

*2021-10-23*

This is not a paid review, or a review done by someone who got the app for free.

This app has so many faults I just have to wonder how it made it to the app store.  There wouldn't be a problem if the app didn't do things that go completely against what it's supposed to do.  Makes you wonder if they actually "tested" this app at all.  

No, this app won't import an animated sticker into whatsapp "plain and simple"... To do that you must remove "a chunk" of the image and if you're lucky whatever is left might make it into whatsapp...they say it's the background what they remove, but I wish I could just show you what has happened with my stickers' choices.  A baby that somehow turns into a blob with face and hands (that's not removing the background my friend, that's removing almost everything)... My last few stickers in gif format didn't even have a background... For whatever reason the app can't even deal with that, so it turns them sideways.  I'm guessing it just had to do "something" with those images after all.

Improve this app please.

### 3/5 — Good app but disappointed

*2021-10-10*

I thought this app was all good, until I found a out you couldn't export the animated gif to WhatsApp unless you remove background.
Please make an update where you do the following
 
- give us the ability to put multiple stickers in one folder instead of exporting a sticker after the other

- give us the option to make longer animated stickers

- give us the option to export stickers without removing their backgrounds

Thank you

### 5/5 — Good

*2021-07-11*

Muy bien

**Developer response:** Gracias por los comentarios!

### 5/5 — Good app

*2021-05-27*

Very good app

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. 
I am happy about satisfied users!
Kind regards.

### 1/5 — Wont let me save any sticker

*2021-04-08*

i want my money back

**Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback. The App provides an automatic Stickerpack management. Therefore the stickers will be stored until the Pack is full. Then a new pack will be started automatically. The old pack will stay in your messenger of choice but will be deleted within the app.

Additionally, you can store every sticker in your photo library.

Kind regards, I hope that this answer is helpful!

### 1/5 — Don’t get it’s dog

*2021-03-03, version 1.2*

Waste of time doesn’t even work

### 1/5 — Used to work. Hasn’t in a long time though after various updates.

*2021-02-27*

So yeah.  It does allow creation of gif stickers.  This could be really great if some things were added. Could you allow us to select the portion of video we want to use? It looks like we are able to but doesn’t allow trimming of the clip. Also it sometimes randomly rotates a video. And what about deleting created stickers?  Can we do that? This is the ONLY app that I have found so far that does actually let you make gif stickers. I am really happy about that but the app is just rough looking. Really looking forward to future updates!

***update*** 11-30-20 
Some gif length adjustment has been added but it’s kind of confusing. Can’t we just edit it kind of like we do with the built in video editor on iOS? 
  After this update though none of the new stickers I make will paste/stick into a text message. Every time they just disappear.  
Could we also have the ability to choose to remove or not remove the background from the sticker.

***update *** 2-27-21
Still doesn’t work.  Same thing as three months ago. The stickers just disappear.  They won’t stick into the messages.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your reasonable feedback. Your issues are valid and will be included in future updates.

Currently the user interface is in a complete redevelopment. So stay tuned for future updates.

— Update 02. March 2021 —

The purpose of the app us to get the (animated) stickers as easy as possible. Therefore, we won't offer a video cropping function and as you already explained this is already possible in the iOS photo app. 

If the animated stickers are disappearing the file size is too large. You need to lower the number of frames in the app settings to make them work.

Furthermore, it would be interesting to hear which features worked in the past and stopped working today for you.

Kind regards and thank you in advance for your feedback.

### 1/5 — Export to whatsapp

*2020-12-11*

I don’t know why you add a button to export it to whatsapp if that doesn’t work.

**Developer response:** Solved.

### 1/5 — No funciona

*2020-12-08*

No se ven las fotos

**Developer response:** ¿Podría explicar con más detalle qué es lo que no le funciona?
También, por favor, especifique qué dispositivo está usando.

¡Gracias por tu ayuda!
