I insert photos to personalize greetings. I search the internet for ALL kinds of cards. It appears no updates in several year. I just wish it was improving. ### 3/5 — App doesn't work with Facebook anymore *2016-02-03, version 1.18* Can't use the App anymore on Facebook did the trouble shooting suggested and still doesn't work even though it says it will be posted! Disappointed ### 5/5 — Love it! *2015-11-15, version 1.17* Very fun and many ways to use and make animations. I love all animated things this is a great app for me thumbs up ### 5/5 — Try this! Freak out friends. *2015-08-25* Anytime a friend text messages me a photo, it's fun to use this app to turn their photo into one of the many fun animations and text it back to them. You can do it in literally a few seconds. It blows their mind! ### 5/5 — Awesome!! *2015-06-17, version 1.14* I love this App! It's hard to put down! The possibilities are endless! Please create some with: "Thank You" & "Your Welcome" greetings! ### 5/5 — TROP GÉNIAL *2015-05-29* Enfin un moyen de communiquer différemment Merci ### 1/5 — Broken...... *2015-05-03, version 1.14* Won't open. ### 5/5 — Blessed man *2015-04-25, version 1.14* With six kids and 11 grandkids this animation app and keyboard are a blast. Thank you so much. ### 1/5 — Very bad *2015-04-04, version 1.14* stupid way to getmony ### 2/5 — Doesn't work with iMovie *2015-02-17, version 1.14* It's cute and easy enough, but the animations don't import into iMovie. I was hoping to make intro animations, etc. for home videos for birthdays and such. I don't usually send animations as text messages so I'm removing the app. If the animations imported I would spend the $10 for bundles and $2 for text without hesitation! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Bought Rom pack for $1.99, but not working *2018-11-20* I added a picture to the Google Search “hottest guy,” animation, & it stayed, “This animation is part of the ROMANCE Animations Pack. Would you like to use in-app purchase to buy this pack for $1.99?” I bought the pack, but it did NOT give me access to the “Google Search hottest guy ever.” Basically, I paid, & it permitted me access to other romance animations, but not the one I was on & requested. Seems a little shady. ### 1/5 — Can’t Use a Photo *2018-10-20* I personally don’t like the fact that I can’t use one of my photos on camera roll. You have to take a picture to use app. I’m not always presentable to take a selfie. ### 1/5 — I dunno *2017-05-08* Kek ### 1/5 — Pure crap *2016-06-28, version 1.19* This app is crap and worthless every time I use it I have to purchase it. Totally worthless ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2016-04-02, version 1.18* Select a photo and app closes ### 1/5 — Sneaky little app & waste of time *2016-02-02* I was using clipish pro to make a happy birthday animation for a friend. This app came up within that app as a free option to install. I installed it because animations were cute. Once I created the animation the app said if I wanted to use the birthday animation share it would cost $1.99 and then if I wanted to save or share the text that I added it would be another 1.99. I paid for both then went to share it. It then asked for not only access to my profile, but my friends and newsfeed. I declined the newsfeed because it seemed too invasive. After all that it wouldn't complete the share because it now says "you have no friends". Don't buy this sneaky little time waster! ### 1/5 — Rip off *2015-09-14, version 1.16* You pay for the program and then they want you to pay more to send things no thanks ### 1/5 — Rip off *2015-08-22, version 1.16* The app is free to download but to get the "animation" you have to pay for each type of animation. Ex: sexy animation; which is hands blowing a kiss is $1.99. Party animation is $2.99. It's a buckle & dime you to death app. ### 1/5 — No good *2015-07-04, version 1.15* Don't work ### 1/5 — hmmmm *2015-06-22, version 1.15* I can't use it at all. maybee it doesn't work with IOS 5.1.1 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — My Go To *2025-06-08* I’ve used this app for years and love it. I wish it was still being updated as I’m sure there are new features to add. The CLIPish keyboard is a staple for all occasions. It’s linked to web searches which gives me a vast selection. Try it! ### 5/5 — Fun!!! *2016-12-17* My friends are always very impressed when I send them their own photos back animated. Hundreds of cool animations to choose from! ### 5/5 — Great app *2016-12-09* Cool and fan ### 5/5 — Fun *2016-11-23, version 1.21* Awesome!!' Love this!!! ### 5/5 — Super fun app *2016-02-26, version 1.19* One of my favorite apps. I use it daily to send fun animations with my selfie's. ### 5/5 — So cool! *2016-02-25, version 1.19* Wow, I love being able to impress everyone I know by creating animations out of their images! Awesome! ### 5/5 — ANIMATION BOOTH *2016-02-15, version 1.18* Great App. Fantastic way to personalize a message or e-mail I use it every day. I have two teenage granddaughters and they enjoy the animations I send them. Great work Thank you so much... ### 5/5 — 😍 *2016-02-03, version 1.17* I like it 😍❤️ ### 5/5 — Awesome *2015-12-24, version 1.17* • Very easy to use • Friends love it • I recommend it ### 5/5 — Love this app... *2015-12-06, version 1.17* This is one app that is so cool...
