### 5/5 — Great GIF storage app!!!

*2024-02-17*

I have several gif storage apps and this is my favorite. 

Review update ; GIF~was without a doubt the best gif storage app. There were 2 GIF’s a GIF and a GIF Pro both were best. It would store Live Photos and unlimited gif storage but something horrible happened and they deleted GIF PRO and updated GIF to the point of nothing special. I don’t know what happened to both Apps GIF and GIF PRO but I pray that both are restored to their previous status as the BEST GIF STORAGE APP EVER. I personally would pay for GIF and GIF PRO if they were brought back.  

WHAT HAPPENED?!!!!

### 4/5 — great app! However make TAGS

*2023-12-29*

Great app I used the paid version. While the ability to make albums is good, being able to TAG each gif and then be able to do a SEARCH to find your tag say for example, search for “hello” and all gifs u tag w hello will pop up. Also be able to give each gif multiple tags. This would make the app peeeerrrrrrrrfect.

### 4/5 — It’s great

*2023-11-12*

This is a simple and great app. The only feature I would really love added is the ability to randomize the gif playback. Or sort on different attributes such as file size. But otherwise a reliable and very good app.

### 5/5 — The Best GIF Apps for iOS

*2022-09-21, version 3.5.8*

Here’s why I believe you should choose ImgBase Apps: 

 1). The Developer is a true professional, he never stops adding features and improving Apps.

2). In addition; he really knows his stuff yet remains open to suggestion. He loves hearing ways to improve performance as well as suggestions. 

3). ImgBase has replied to and addressed every  support request I’ve sent in a timely manner. 

4). They want you to love their Apps and know your thoughts.  

 My Highest Recommendation!!

### 5/5 — It's great !

*2022-08-27, version 3.5.8*

It's the best app around for watching gifs it plays gifs on your camera roll you can store gifs in the app itself and watch them in the app you can convert them into video format you can save individual frames as stills it's a wonderful app.

### 1/5 — Waste of space

*2022-04-11, version 3.5.8*

Every useful feature is locked out by a paywall. Free version is no more useful than using stock photos app. l

### 4/5 — Album Needs Sorting Option

*2021-11-13, version 3.5.8*

You really need to make it so we can sort the gifs in the albums by Oldest, Newest or Custom. It follows the reverse order of the photo roll album. While I can sort manually, I would love for the option to sort according to how I have it in the original album I imported it from.

Otherwise, it works fine.

### 5/5 — Forget the rest. Download the best.

*2021-03-09, version 3.5.7*

They should be paying me for this cause I’ma tell y’all what’s UP. This APP is IT. For the Twitter GIF downloads ALONE this app is the GOAT but it’s the organization, the functionality, the capabilities, the BEST of the BEST. You need a GIF app? Download this!!!!!!

### 3/5 — No longer able to download twitter gifs

*2020-11-28, version 3.5.5*

The newest update seems to have removed the functionality of downloading gifs from Twitter.
