It used to be a better app, now it's just buggy. ### 4/5 — Its a great app BUT *2026-08-22, version 3.37* The app is overall 5 stars but can you add a rainbow mode which makes it rainbow and a constant flip one? Its honestly a amazing app but i think these can be added to the app for a small difference but may or might make a big impact on the app. If not, its not a death sentence or anything its a wonderful game and if you do it could really make a day! No hard worries on the app and please don’t pressure yourself on this, take your time on this beautiful app. Thank you! ### 4/5 — Would love Developer response *2026-08-16, version 3.36* Great app but you have to pay to do the cool features 𝕋𝕙𝕚𝕤 𝕨𝕠𝕦𝕝𝕕 𝕓𝕖 𝕞𝕠𝕣𝕖 𝕝𝕚𝕜𝕖 𝕒 𝟛.𝟝 ### 2/5 — iPad *2026-08-07* Разраб вообще не слышал о функции «отменить» действие. Я почти час потратил впустую. **Developer response:** Здравствуйте, спасибо, что поделились своим отзывом. Нам жаль, что это вызвало у вас разочарование и потерю времени. Хотя отдельной кнопки «отменить» нет, в приложении есть простой способ сделать это. Пожалуйста, свяжитесь с нами напрямую через приложение через Settings > Send Feedback/Crash, и мы с радостью проведем вас через все шаги. Спасибо за ваше терпение! ### 1/5 — Insert creative title *2026-07-09, version 3.36* I updated the app just now and suddenly everything is premium and AI related oml. I wanted to create a gif but now I have to go through the hassle of deleting this app and trying to find a new one that isn’t money-hungry ### 4/5 — Been using for years *2026-07-08, version 3.36* I have made some of my best memes and GIFs using this app ### 1/5 — Pay for Everything *2026-07-06, version 3.35* App is useless unless you spend $10 for a monthly subscription. Save yourself some time and do it on your computer where you don’t have to pay. Zero stars if I could. ### 1/5 — $ HUNGRY. *2026-06-17, version 3.35* Used to love this app and was able to use it before, now I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO PAY if I want to use it lol. Everything is basically locked behind a paywall, might as well not be a free app on the App Store. ### 3/5 — Tula *2026-06-06, version 3.34* The weights are really annoying I just got started to this app but it’s really pain in the butt how do you spell Tsukasa ### 2/5 — Gotta pay *2026-06-02, version 3.34* How are you gonna make a gif app then make everything free except for the gif features ? SMH. ### 1/5 — Pay walls *2026-05-31, version 3.34* Paywalls on paywalls. Only feature it offers is photo to gif so it would work well for Live Photos but that is all. You could pay 8 dollars a month to use all features but keep looking for a better app that can perform a simple task like this for free ### 1/5 — ai slop *2026-05-24, version 3.34* not everything HAS to be ai, like WE just want to turn videos to gifs, AS EASY AS THAT. even the dev responses are ai LOL, this generation is ruined by losers like these ### 1/5 — Not free *2026-05-20, version 3.34* Disguised as a free app but it costs more than Netflix. ### 1/5 — Don’t buy pay to use app *2026-05-15* One of the worst app I have ever used you can’t do anything without buying subscription **Developer response:** Hello there, thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. We’d like to clarify that you can still use the app without subscribing. The free version allows you to create up to 2 GIFs per day from photos, and you can also create unlimited GIFs using our Moments gallery, which is designed to make GIF creation easier and faster. Some advanced features are part of our Premium plan, which helps us continue improving the app, maintaining performance, and adding new features.

We’ll be happy to help. ### 4/5 — GIFs, gifs, gifs *2026-05-10, version 3.33* I’m too busy to write! Quick thank you to the app. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Do not even download *2026-08-31, version 3.37* This doesn’t do what it claims to do. Then claims the premium will do it but it doesn’t! And they don’t issue refunds even with proof! ### 1/5 — Makes no sense *2026-08-29, version 3.37* You even have to PAY just for you to create your first ever gif. It’s even too overpriced if you want the lowest subscription. I was super excited to download the app but turned out you can’t do anything unless you purchase from them. Disappointed ### 1/5 — Misleading and AI slop *2026-08-07, version 3.36* The app is free in the same way it’s free to park at a pool, but you can’t do anything unless you buy a ticket/the apps subscription. Also just AI slop which is how you know it’s low quality and they don’t care. ### 1/5 — Money Hungry *2026-08-05, version 3.36* Took $7 from my account because my siblings signed up for a subscription without my permission. I didn’t know but immediately when they charged me I went ahead and tried to return it but they rejected my request. ### 1/5 — In app purchases *2026-08-01, version 3.36* Seems a bit misleading to not have the “in app purchases” tag in the App Store. Deleted straight away. ### 1/5 — Payant *2026-07-31* Inutilisable à peu de chose près sans l’abonnement quasi aucune fonction gratuite **Developer response:** Bonjour, nous sommes désolés d'apprendre que l'application n'a pas répondu à vos attentes. Nous comprenons qu'il puisse être frustrant de constater que de nombreuses fonctionnalités nécessitent un abonnement.

Nous vous remercions d'avoir pris le temps de partager votre avis. Vos retours nous aident à continuer d'améliorer l'application.

Deleting. ### 1/5 — Nah, never download this one *2026-07-26, version 3.36* 2 free photo to video samples with ads and everything else only for subscription, this app is so bad ### 1/5 — just make it 5.99$ *2026-07-17, version 3.36* pay for it like always when other free ways exist our economy is doomed ### 1/5 — Have to pay for everything-including main purpose. *2026-07-11, version 3.36* Pretty much everything requires paying for the subscription, not just the advanced features but even the most basic. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great App *2026-08-05, version 3.36* Easy, Fun and Great Results! Border options, add text, everything easy! Super great! ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-07-21, version 3.36* For my purposes it’s great. Making gifs. ### 5/5 — Good *2026-07-07, version 3.36* Good but can u add gifs back I can only see githy ### 5/5 — GIFs *2026-05-28, version 3.34* This is good for my stories in Wattpad. This app is amazing. ### 5/5 — GIFs *2026-05-16, version 3.33* This is good for my stories in Wattpad. This app is amazing. ### 5/5 — Great! *2026-04-30, version 3.33* Love it ### 5/5 — ok but unpredictable *2026-04-19, version 3.33* speed tool does not work ### 5/5 — Fun, Easy to use *2026-04-10, version 3.33* It’s fun and easy to use. ### 5/5 — A great set of tools *2026-04-08, version 3.33* This is a great set of utilities ### 5/5 — Core Vital App *2026-04-08, version 3.33* I’ve been a paid subscriber for several years. I’ve never once had the app freeze up or glitch out or lose my work mid creation. Has every feature necessary and more. Great stickers to add, including animated ones in well known anime. Multiple compression levels and even export to video, which can actually be useful. Sometimes I wish it would save projects, and I really wish there were a “replace video” option so that u had format and sticker templates to use for multiple videos. Otherwise, I use this many times a week and have gotten a reputation for making them. I’ll often create the GIF here and then create collections in Sticker.ly with them…sometimes naughty ones 🫣 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
