Really?? *2025-03-28* Sorry, but paying $39 a year for this is crazy. Not sure I would pay that much for a permanent license. Deleting now from my computer…… **Developer response:** We appreciate your feedback! Giftr offers a subscription to provide continuous updates and improvements. However, we understand that subscriptions may not be for everyone. If you have any questions or suggestions, feel free to contact us at hello@giftr.cool. - The Giftr Team ### 2/5 — Plz read this! Ur app needs a serious update! *2023-03-11, version 2.1* Well, this app is very well made and is easy to use, however, can u add a button that just instantly saves gif to photos and also whenever I try and save my gif it just crashes idk if this is ur problem or my iPad’s. Apart from the fact I have got no gifs from this app it is very well made just needs some bug fixes. ### 2/5 — WHERE ARE THE DIRECTIONS? *2021-07-23* NO LUCK GOOGLING QUESTIONS ABOUT GIFTR.

It said I’d get a free trail so I did it but you took my money 😞 ### 2/5 — Was fun, stopped working *2021-02-27, version 1.8* I found this app and at first found it very useful, even in the free version, very easy to create gifs without much of a tutorial. However for no reason it stopped working and continuously says I need to add two or more pictures in order to work, when I’ve clearly added 5 or more! Thought it was a bug so deleted and re downloaded it but same thing happens. Tried on another device and my friend did the same on hers and both same results which indicate there is a bug or flaw in the system. Contacted app makers and supplied screen shots and video but no response since or any updates. Edit Revisited this app to see if any bugs had been fixed but no you still cannot save anything unless you go pro, which is sad because it had a lot of potential. Same sad story several week later ### 1/5 — Trash *2021-02-04* WASTE OF TIME! App doesnt work Reply to developer: Are you going to pay me to troubleshoot your app or for the time I've already wasted? **Developer response:** Thank you for your comment, Michael. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you. Please contact us on hello@giftr.cool and send us a screen recording of the issue you are facing so we can help you solve it properly. We will surely compensate you with free Giftr Pro subscriptions for the time you couldn't use the app. Giftr team ### 1/5 — So mis leading, should be illegal. *2021-01-23* Pro doesn’t do anything that it Advertises, at all. Trying to get my money back now. What a scam app. **Developer response:** Thank you for your comment. Please contact us on hello@giftr.cool and give us your detailed feedback. We will appreciate your help and will try to make the app better. Also, please contact us if you need a refund. Giftr team ### 1/5 — Literally does not work *2021-01-21* Downloaded it, opened it, and all it did was pop up a window that had a "continue" button that did nothing. 0/10 **Developer response:** Thank you for your comment. Please contact us on hello@giftr.cool and send us a screen recording of the issue you are facing so we can help you solve it properly. Giftr team ### 1/5 — Terrible *2020-12-09, version 1.5.4* Straight away when I get in the app it says to pay and I don’t wanna do that when I didn’t even see the app. There is no button to continue without paying so I do not recommend this app :( ### 1/5 — متحرك *2020-11-08* مقاطع خره متحركه صوره ### 1/5 — Misleading APP *2020-11-03* None of it works. Total waste of money. I feel like a fool :( They have deleted my review 4 times now, what are they trying to hide… Read their “Terms of Service” for more insight on this company. There is also a reason reviews keep disappearing... ### 1/5 — If Saving Only Worked *2020-10-28* This App is awesome, all the way up to saving your creation. Then it fails with some error about: Something went wrong! Do you still have enough storage on your device? (160.3 GB #5442) Why yes I do have a ton of storage on my laptop... Would have rated this app 5 stars if saving worked, but since it doesn't the app gets one, because now I have to look for something else that works. ### 1/5 — Useless. Don’t download *2020-10-14, version 1.5.1* Got this and it wouldn’t let me do anything unless I purchased it for a year, month or life. Couldn’t get out of the app with any screen touches or buttons. Had to use Siri to get the Home Screen and then delete it. Frightening that it can do that. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not a GIF MAKER !! *2025-12-12* First I signed up for the 3 FREE DAY TRIAL AND YOU CHARGED ME $16.22 !!! And what exactly is this????? What am I paying for? I’m so angry right now you have no idea. Nothing pisses me off more THAN WASTING MY HARD EARNED MONEY!!! This app is not a GIF MAKER !!! I WANT MY MONEY BACK ! **Developer response:** We completely understand your frustration regarding the unexpected charge. Because the app is downloaded via the App Store, Apple manages all free trials, subscriptions, and billing directly. Developers do not have access to your transaction details and cannot issue refunds on our end. To get your money back, please request a refund directly from Apple by visiting reportaproblem.apple.com. Regarding the app's functionality, Giftr is definitely built to create GIFs. We are very sorry it wasn't clear how to use those tools right away. If you would like assistance navigating the app, please reach out to us at hello@giftr.cool so we can help you get started. The Giftr Team ### 1/5 — Not a gif maker unless you already know how to use the app *2024-03-15* Nope nope nope. I don’t know what this app does that Canva doesn’t. It’s not worth your $40 bucks. I had a photo of a bluebonnet. I added text. I could not manipulate the size of the text. No gif was created - just a still photo that I could make with my iPhone photo app. Call it user error or call it no tutorial. Try the app and if it doesn’t work for you right away, delete it. **Developer response:** Thank you for your comment. Please contact us at hello@giftr.cool and send us a screen recording of this bug so we can help you fix it properly. Rest assured that we will do whatever we can to help you. Giftr team ### 1/5 — 황당 *2023-02-09* 무조건 돈을 결재해야 하네요 무료버전으로 이용이 가능하다고 답변을 똭‘’‘ 적어놔서 속아서 설치했더니 ㅠ0ㅠ 속었어 속았으~~~~ 리뷰작성자님 말씀처럼 결재없이는 절대 한발자국도 나아갈 수 없음 절대 Never Ever 넘어가지 않음 **Developer response:** 당신의 의견에 감사드립니다. hello@gifr.cool로 연락주시면 설치 후 과금이 된 경우 환불 도와드리겠습니다.

Mais je me suis dit, restons positif et donnons une chance à cette application. Très peu pratique et le résultat n’est pas utilisable. C’est mal fait, on se retrouve avec des visuels bizarre (photo qui se superposent, se coupent voir un cadre noir pas du tout sélectionné..) bref, j’ai redu 40€ et pas mal de temps à essayer de boire le verre à moitié plein. Fuyez tant que vous pouvez et joyeux noël ### 1/5 — 환불해주세요. *2021-12-12* 어이없네요. 설치해보고 나니 49000원 결제 알림이 띵!?? 당장환불해쥬세요. ### 1/5 — 결재했는데 안됨 *2021-08-18* 이거 뭐죠??? 헐 **Developer response:** 당신의 의견에 감사드립니다. hello@giftr.cool로 연락하여 문제를 올바르게 해결하는 데 도움이 되도록 현재 직면한 문제를 녹화한 화면을 보내주십시오. 우리가 당신을 돕기 위해 할 수 있는 모든 일을 할 것이므로 안심하십시오.

I made some cute gifs of my family and plan to make many more! ### 5/5 — Creative *2020-01-30, version 1.0.1* I like the creative potential of this app, there are a vast array of tools and the effects can be very surprising. Unleash your creativity ✅ ### 5/5 — so much love *2020-01-22, version 1.0* gréât play on photos! must try ### 4/5 — Needs individual frame speed *2024-10-20, version 2.2* Speed control limited - can only slow to 1 second and no individual frame duration control. Also thumbnails need to be viewable bigger to help reordering to get 5 stars. ### 4/5 — Really good 👍🏻 *2020-09-23, version 1.5.1* Its really good so much u can do but there are a few downsides like you cant type on your gif and constantly asking 4 pro but other than that it has potential --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
