Must-have App!

Plenty of Pudgy Penguins gifs to choose from and you can save favorites when you sign up. It’s free and easy. Don’t know how I lived without it until now. Get it!!

Abysmal App

Useless search feature, impossible to find relevant gifs. Terrible app do not waste your time with it. If I could give 0 stars I would.

Glitchy

For some reason now when I create a gif it glitches out and won’t let me finish. I have to constantly restart the process over and over. This problem is primarily happening when I’m trimming the clip.
