Now gifs created save low res/blurry to the camera roll. It’s the biggest request under “feature requests.” Fix it! ### 3/5 — Good idea, but comes out blurry *2018-01-10, version 3.6.5* Good idea, but final product is compressed and image that started off sharp/high quality ends up looking blurry :( was excited to use but am disappointed that this happens ### 2/5 — import gif from camera roll problems *2017-08-22, version 3.6.2* import gif from camera roll either crashes the app or takes more time than i'm willing to wait to function. paste from url works fine. not sure when this broke. ### 1/5 — Bad quality limited options *2017-08-21, version 3.6.2* There are better free-er apps that can do way more to create gifs. The quality is trash - even on my small iPhone 5s. I like that you can save as a gif or video, but other than that, I would not recommend. ### 4/5 — Thanks! *2017-07-27, version 3.6.2* Took me a few to figure it out but once I did, I've been enjoying it ever since. ### 1/5 — Terribly Buggy *2017-07-20, version 3.6.2* I've updated the app and it's worse than before. Cannot download videos from iCloud that other apps have no issues downloading, and when I try to import a video, the video selection screen doesn't pop up. I have to tap the menu to see it. ### 5/5 — Giffer guy *2017-06-07, version 3.6.2* This app is pretty fn cool ### 1/5 — Not what I thought *2017-05-02, version 3.6.2* It won't animate videos from my camera roll and this App still wants you to buy the Pro version for more features. ### 3/5 — Ok but *2017-04-13, version 3.6.2* Wherever I save or share my gifs to, it's suddenly awful grainy quality! ### 5/5 — Phenomenal *2017-03-26, version 3.6.1* This app is fantastic. Thank you! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Don’t bother.. *2020-09-17, version 3.6.7* Used to be good, but the interface is now hot garbage with a lot more paywalled features... Find something else.. ### 1/5 — What is the point if you can't save anything *2020-03-17, version 3.6.7* When you exit it asks if you want to save -- but then there's no way to access the saved session or export. What is the point of this app? ### 1/5 — Very low quality *2020-02-16, version 3.6.7* The app exports the gifs at such a low and pixelated quality it’s unusable for photos. Poor form... upgraded to the pro version and it’s just as bad ### 1/5 — LOOOOOW resolution *2020-02-08, version 3.6.7* The saves are very low res. Garbage app and waste of money with no option to adjust or increase the resolution of the saves. ### 1/5 — Importing Videos isn’t very good *2020-01-26, version 3.6.7* Only lets you import videos up to about 3 seconds, not really worth it for me ### 1/5 — All you gif are belong to us *2019-08-17, version 3.6.7* My past Gifs disappeared. What the what? ### 1/5 — low quality for a paid app *2019-08-01, version 3.6.7* deleted right after. what a waste of money and time 😞 ### 1/5 — Horrible app *2019-04-01, version 3.6.7* Total rip off. Doesn’t work for crap and not easy to understand. Don’t waste your money like I just did. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t do what it says *2018-10-28, version 3.6.5* I got this because it said it created gifs from my burst photos. Doesn’t. Only works with existing gifs. ### 1/5 — Not worth it! *2018-06-27, version 3.6.5* Can’t even export high quality gifs Without purchasing pro! For the original price tag this should be available. Complete rip off! Don’t even bother! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Cheap, gets the job done *2020-07-06, version 3.6.7* Nowadays most photoshop apps need subscriptions or annoying ads. I only use the photoshop once in a while and will NOT pay for it every month. For $2 (+$1 for pro features), the app does just about everything I want it to. One thing though, I hope the app allows me to make high quality gifs. Otherwise this app is nearly perfect for my need. And higher quality gifs is one of the most requested features, so I look forward to new updates in the near future. ### 5/5 — Great app *2018-09-06, version 3.6.5* Makes gifs easily, 10/10 Can’t really complain!! ### 5/5 — Great features *2018-08-06, version 3.6.5* The features (speed, direction, adding/removing frames, text, filtering) are great! Some are a little unintuitive (finding the yo-yo feature was hard), but this app is definitely worth a few dollars and a little time to figure it out. ### 5/5 — Easy to use and as promised! *2018-07-24, version 3.6.5* Does exactly what it should without any fuss. Perfect. ### 5/5 — Easy to use with lots of options *2018-07-24, version 3.6.5* This app covers basically any GIF I’d want to make. Super intuitive and good selection of filters and features. Recommended. ### 5/5 — Good stuff! *2018-03-14, version 3.6.5* Works like it should! Rarely crashes on my 5 year old phone that I haven't updated the iOS in over 2 years! ### 5/5 — Great value for the money *2017-09-30, version 3.6.2* I am absolutely satisfied with this product. I could offer one suggestion for improvement. The paid version allows you to work on a project with a maximum of 80 frames possible. While using this software to communicate crucial information on a noisy construction site; I always seem to require slightly more that the maximum 80 frames to accurately illustrate that which I wish my recipient to comprehend. ### 5/5 — Simple easy fast *2017-09-03, version 3.6.2* Quick GIF maker. Couldn't be more easy. ### 5/5 — Great app *2017-07-11, version 3.6.2* This is a solid app. ### 5/5 — I love Giffer. *2017-07-01, version 3.6.2* This app is my go-to for saving and creating gifs. Literally works every time. I've had it for ages now and have absolutely no need for anything else like it. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
