### 3/5 — Adds Black Border

*2026-07-02, version 1.2*

Easy to use, but most of the time the resulting GIF has a black border on the top and on the right side.

### 3/5 — Average app!

*2023-03-14*

Could be great ! But it’s not! 
Most times it crops image and adds weird black border on two sides!

### 1/5 — Very Buggy

*2022-04-17*

I know you get what you pay for, in this case don’t pay for, but this is nearly unusable. Color palette for font won’t close. You can delete stickers but they’re still there when you press play.
I deleted it immediately.

### 3/5 — Color palette glitch

*2021-10-05*

I see someone wrote about it 5 years ago. Still glitching

### 3/5 — Gif

*2021-08-31*

It is ok, better if u pay for it I hope

### 5/5 — So much

*2021-03-16*

FUN

### 5/5 — Nighty

*2020-10-04, version 1.2*

Güzel

### 1/5 — Needs fixing

*2020-08-15, version 1.2*

Automatically crops video.  Cannot adjust.

### 1/5 — Deserves zero stars

*2020-04-03, version 1.2*

Bought this to post GIF’s onto Instagram when I click the IG save button all it does is pop up with an error message. Not worth the $3

### 1/5 — Paid for upgrade and it won’t let me save

*2020-02-17, version 1.2*

I get an error message every time I try to save, no matter what the file type.
