### 5/5 — Revolutionary

*2016-06-13, version 1.8.5*

amazing, useful, great layout, customizable

BEST APP EVER!

### 4/5 — 4/5

*2016-05-30, version 1.8.5*

Best GIF APP ever,
why I love it the most?
1/ has it's own capacity.
2/ can make a lot of folders, and naming the image。 
3/ can share with Twitter 。
4/ has cute styles and passcode。 
it will be awesome if we registration and do backup。
sometime the GIF image doesn't animated and turn to unanimated image I don't know if the problem from the app or from the iPhone 。 
4/5 because nothing perfect in this world 。

### 5/5 — Perfection

*2016-04-03, version 1.8.1*

A very well crafted viewer, with all the features I wanted - TouchID, categories, speed adjustment, frame-by-frame viewing, and a clean interface.  It actually makes me happy each time I use it, which isn't something I can say for most apps.

### 5/5 — Easy to view all animated GIFs

*2016-01-24, version 1.8.1*

Excellent! View camera roll animated GIFs in an easy to use and free app. On start it searches your camera roll and displays thumbs of every animated GIF. It's nice to swipe through and view every animated GIF on my phone, and directly within the app--send GIFs via text, email, etc. I love it!

### 4/5 — Great app!

*2015-11-11, version 1.7*

Full screen view, variable speed, frame view and save frames are what makes this app great. What would make it even greater is if it has the ability to pause on a frame and export from the gif library to the camera roll.

### 5/5 — Best GIF viewer and overall great app

*2015-10-30, version 1.7*

Best GIF viewer, with a simple interface, smooth play and hi-res presentation of GIFs. Easy to use speed control and zoom. Also, will load GIFs by wifi from PC on same network. And excellent support for questions. Highly recommended!

### 5/5 — Happy Camper🎣🏊

*2015-10-23, version 1.7*

There are very few reviews I give that are even positive. Never 5 stars. And this app pisses me off because I can't find anything wrong with it. But I'll keep looking and eventually I find something wrong. I'll let you know.

### 5/5 — Best for viewing saved gifs

*2015-08-31, version 1.7*

Which can not be shown by ios photo app. It does what it says.

### 5/5 — Super easy to view and manage your GiFs

*2015-08-22, version 1.7*

Does exactly what its supposed to.  Quick.

### 4/5 — Very good!

*2015-07-27, version 1.7*

It would be excellent if I could select gifs to make a "slideshow", so they play in a sequence--- and be able to set the number of repeats of the gifs. 
It could be that each plays 3 times (or 2, or 5) before the next one in the sequence. That would earn 5 stars!

### 5/5 — Best GIF app I've used

*2015-07-08, version 1.7*

I've tried several apps for viewing GIFs, and all of them crashed whenever I tried to play certain GIFs. I was a bit leery of this one at first due to the grammar in the description being a bit wonky, but I gave it a shot anyway. Turns out this one works perfectly. This is the only app I've found that has no trouble playing any GIF, even the ones that make all the other apps crash. 

I'm a huge fan of the organizational system as well. Most of the apps I've tried have almost no ability to organize images within albums, and some don't even have albums; this one, however, actually allows you to move images around in albums. Just tap and hold then drag to where you want them, no messing around with changing file names or anything. On top of that, when adding images to albums you can actually see which images are already in albums. That's something not even the default photos app does!

The way it plays the GIFs is better than any other app I've tried as well. It doesn't take ten seconds to load each image, it plays the GIFs at the right speed without needing to tweak the speed, it can tweak the speed if you want to anyway, it can even look at each frame individually.

Unlike basically every other GIF viewing app, this one actually does what it should.

### 5/5 — Does exactly what you need it to do!

*2015-06-11, version 1.7*

Collects all the gifs I've saved to my device and puts them in one spot for me to find.  Perfect for viewing gifs.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2015-05-20, version 1.7*

Highly recommended.

### 5/5 — Crucially helpful

*2015-04-28, version 1.7*

The best app I ever used to watch a GIF, couldn't praise more.

### 5/5 — Must have App

*2015-03-20, version 1.7*

What a great app!!
Why doesn't Apple make photo app play gifs??

### 1/5 — Don't trust the fake reviews

*2015-02-14, version 1.7*

These generic fake reviews are getting tiresome. As for the app, crashes constantly and does nothing safari or even other apps that are free can do better.

### 2/5 — Wish it worked.

*2014-10-05, version 1.4*

I can only imagine that there's a glitch or compatibility problem, because AppsGoneFree featured this app, and they don't feature apps that they haven't reviewed themselves. I'm using an iPhone 5C running the latest iOS (8.0.2).  I allowed the app access to my photo library. The wait icon showed up, and then the app told me that there were no GIFs, when I know for a fact that I have several in my camera roll, one of which I added just the other day. It's unfortunate that I've had this issue, because it seems like a great app in theory.

### 3/5 — Good App, But

*2016-05-19, version 1.8.5*

It needs split screen for iPads, other than that it is a decent app.

### 3/5 — Excellent while it lasted.. Until iOS updated

*2015-12-31, version 1.8*

Stopped working altogether after recent 2015 updates to iOS. Developer please upgrade! Good app.

### 3/5 — Decent

*2015-01-23, version 1.6*

Doesn't see all the Gifs I have on my phone. Will be looking for something better

### 3/5 — Decent, slight issues

*2014-11-09, version 1.5*

Works well enough, however it won't play some of my gifs at all. Also it takes a while to load up the gif gallery. Other than that works as intended.

### 3/5 — Ok, BUT

*2014-09-29, version 1.3*

Only lets you view gifs in the camera roll...it doesn't allow you to select any other albums.

### 4/5 — Gif tool

*2018-03-25, version 1.92*

Nice tool to view gif’s.  I hope you add a feature to speed up or slow down a gif.

### 4/5 — Nxmillenia

*2018-03-12, version 1.92*

Cool app, would have given it 5-stars if only it had its own storage for images! But it is dependent upon ‘photo stream’ for storage ... if you delete gif from photo stream... it also disappears from the app.

### 4/5 — Great app!

*2018-03-06, version 1.92*

Wanted to say a quick thank you to the developer for adding iPhone X support. Great to see the ongoing support for this app 🖖🏻

### 5/5 — 不错

*2021-07-27, version 1.92*

好

### 5/5 — Very nice

*2021-04-14, version 1.92*

Works perfectly and has a good, clean design.  The only thing missing is for this to be a universal iPhone/iPad app

### 5/5 — Great selection of GIFS!

*2019-03-03, version 1.92*

The title says it all.

### 5/5 — *S*°*O*°* USEFUL for Snapchat, and the like…

*2019-01-28, version 1.92*

This App’s Share>Copy feature is one of the ONLY ways I can paste a gif into Snapchat on my iPad with certainty that I am pasting the *FULL*, animated gif, and not an *automatically sent* still image which inevitably feels like it’s spoiling the follow-up *animated* gif. 
It’s a blessing if you want that confidence, which as a disabled veteran who depends on digital communications to maintain important friendships, and with a touch of perfectionism with regards to creative communication using various forms of Art, this App offers me peace of mind when “delivery is everything,” and ensures one of my few sources of joy and a sense of accomplishment goes off without a hitch❣️ 
Peace, And Please Show Support for this Developer!¡!

### 5/5 — Best GIF App ever!

*2018-09-26, version 1.92*

This app gives fantastic options. First, u can lock the app with passcode and 2nd, u can still save gif images without remaining the original image in your camera roll. How wonderful!!

### 5/5 — Initially app was dead in the water.

*2018-03-14, version 1.92*

A reboot got me up and running.  Will evaluate and then update.

### 5/5 — Good Quality for Animated Pictures

*2018-03-13, version 1.92*

I enjoy this app because it has a user friendly interface, and it's easy to use.  In addition, the animation and picture quality is great.

### 5/5 — Nice

*2017-07-09, version 1.8.5*

This App is Very Nice Easily To Use Thank You Very Much

### 5/5 — Best app to view gifs on your iPhone.

*2016-07-19, version 1.8.5*

The app auto detects and loads saved gifs from your photos. No special folders or importing one at a time. It just works.

### 5/5 — The Best😄!

*2016-07-05, version 1.8.5*

Very Nice! It Works too😊🎼!
