It always gets ads, but when I enter the app, ads! This app has a lot of ads ### 1/5 — Video to Gif crashes *2024-05-30, version 1.0.3* Video to Gif crashes when trying to open any folder of the photo gallery and makes it impossible to choose a video to start editing. ### 1/5 — Crashes *2024-05-14* As someone else stated 2 years ago, the app crashes when selecting video to GIF. They never fixed the problem. Don’t waste your time installing. ### 1/5 — Awful ads and unusable app unless you upgrade *2024-04-30* I tried to demo this app with the free trial just to make some simple GIFs from videos, but it’s an impossible task because the app uploads to full screen, full volume ads, over and over rendering the entire trial version of it completely useless. I tried turning off my Internet and other things just to attempt to see what the app was all about before I spent the money to upgrade the no ads version, but the experience is so awful. You can’t use the app. ### 1/5 — Crashes *2024-04-26* Just crashes, basically an ad machine and nothing else, don’t waste your time with it ### 1/5 — DONT TRY THIS TOO MUCH ads CANT WORK BCOZ OF AD *2024-04-16* Ads only ### 1/5 — Does not work don’t buy *2024-01-03* Utter junk wont work just crashes and Apple wont refund it if you buy remove adds so just stay away, apple and this app are ripoffs! ### 1/5 — Kinda bad *2023-04-09* It crashes quite often, and the ads they have placed in the app are in the way of editing a gif so most functions you can’t use due to that. Don’t waste your time with this app. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2023-01-16* Just ads ### 1/5 — Too slow *2021-11-18* The processment was too slow and wouldn't process my products correctly ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — just use the ezgiftmaker website jfc *2026-01-15* youre INSANE if you think im paying a subscription for an app to make gifs??????? want me to pay you for this review as well while i fondle your balls? i hope everyone who okayed that decision dies terribly you cheapasses ### 1/5 — This app very bad *2025-09-09* This application very bad not proper working only for ads ads ads only ads ### 1/5 — Dont download *2025-07-30* Ads ads and then export failed ### 1/5 — Sakın indirmeyin *2025-03-15, version 1.0.5* Gif yapmak için 50 tane reklam izliyorsunuz onu da sini olup yapamadan kapatıp uyulamayı siliyorsunuz ### 1/5 — Crash *2025-02-13* App crashes after ads. ### 1/5 — Advertising App *2025-02-08, version 1.0.4* Just Advert ### 1/5 — Werbung *2024-12-24, version 1.0.3* Viel zu viel Werbung ### 1/5 — don’t waste your time. *2024-12-06* the app itself is pretty rudimentary, very bare bones which might be okay for a free product BUT. there’s a glaring issue. every single button press results in a five second unskippable ad and that’s IF you’re lucky. i myself lost about three minutes of my life just trying to test it. that’s three minutes i could’ve spent petting my cat. painting. racking some weights. having strange talks about whether or not a hotdog is a sandwich with the homies. but no. instead this app took that from me. my time. precious moments lost for nothing. don’t be like me. avoid this hunk a junk. ### 1/5 — Sucks *2024-09-08* This app sucks ### 1/5 — Over saturated with ads to be annoying *2024-08-30* Unbelievable amount of adds. Clearly they weren’t getting enough people playing for the add free app so they made them intrusive and they were filling my total time in the app probably close to 95% spent getting pass the ads to just 5% to convert the actual content… ## Most praised reviews (7 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Excellent app *2024-10-12, version 1.0.3* App tạo gif rất mượt và không bị dính logo.
