This is a terrible app for even $1.39.—So long being kept in the main displayed announcements as a great app with lots of animations.—Zero animations. No Packs of Nothing.—It is just nothing else to buy as nothing else is in it to offer.—Deceiving & misleading developer (s).—Just collect images and without any control whatsoever, just speeding images as fast as ever, No Filters, No Motions, No Nothing.—That it is. —It is up to you to spend the $1.39.—I did it.— And I am disappointed ☹️ I Just wasted money & space.—-☹️ ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work on iPhone X *2018-07-10* Tried selecting photos to put into a gif. Doesn’t work. At all. Deleted. ### 1/5 — Crashes and freezes. Never got one thing to work with it *2018-07-02* Videos cause it to crash, imported 4 photos and it gave me a circle on the screen and stayed there for 3 min and nothing happened. Worthless. ### 1/5 — DON’T get this app! *2018-06-06* I purchased this app to make gifs out of photos on my phone, only to find that when you import photos it completely jumbled the order with NO way to edit it! I figured it must be a bug so I went to the “Send Feedback” option, only to find it wouldn’t let me with an error message saying I need a ‘mail account’ (whatever that means) and no options to make said account to be found. Very disappointing, these people just want your money by making you pay upfront. Get GifsArt instead— it’s free and lets you edit the timeline, and doesn’t screw up the order in the first place! Complete waste of money this app was, pretty sure the other reviews must be fake. Don’t get this app! ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2018-01-29* Paid $0.99 for it and I can’t even import. I select the pics and then the OK check mark doesn’t do anything. Crap ### 1/5 — Uhh hard pass *2017-12-29, version 1.2.2* Haven’t been able to use at all crashes immediately upon importing video or photo and I’m using iPhone 6S plus. Like it’s basic as f, why would apple put this in featured apps? Your better off just using Tumblrs built in one this can do like three things jeeeze ### 1/5 — App crashes (iPhone5) *2017-12-16* App crashes after I choose a video from my gallery. What a waste. ### 1/5 — Crashing issues *2016-06-30, version 1.2.1* Crashes when uploading video ### 1/5 — not great *2016-05-04, version 1.2.0* app can't do much... used to be free, have to pay for filters. major yawn fest. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Thanks for app *2017-07-16* Hello to all my friends and family and I hope that you have the same name as well I love you so beautiful thanks love love it love you all love love and freedom love love and art for apps ### 5/5 — Awesome sauce *2017-06-23, version 1.2.2* Love this app!!! ### 5/5 — Best Gif app *2017-02-24* None other like it!
