Would love to get an update to fix the issue. This was actually a pretty cool app. ### 1/5 — ???? *2023-12-16* I’ve downloaded and deleted the app 5x now !? After download when I try to open the app it opens I quickly see the app opening page and is disappears and this is all it does over and over again ? After asking for camera and mic permission this is all it does ??? It’s inaccessible!??? ### 1/5 — Needs A LOT of fixing *2023-11-19* When I download this app, it asked me for camera and microphone permissions, but when I opened the app, it closed immediately. I found out that is I turn off microphone permissions, then the app will open, but the camera part still won’t work for some reason even though I still had on permissions for the camera. Giphy, if you see this review, please fix these issues because I really want to use the app but I can’t because it won’t work correctly. Thanks ### 1/5 — This is not one of those reviews you skip over *2023-06-18* I kept trying to open the app but it would not let me Thanks for reading this far ### 1/5 — Crashes *2022-10-31, version 1.0.4* It doesn’t work or get past the introduction ### 1/5 — Glitchy mess *2022-10-23, version 1.0.4* Very confusing to use. Stickers dont stick. Just not a good app. There’s better apps like this on app store. ### 1/5 — It’s broken *2022-07-23, version 1.0.4* Since the first time I operated it it has only allowed me to choose between two stickers some black dude and a pair of lips with a metal tooth smiling , both animated does not allow me to search for gifts or stickers if I open the menu it only has a few options for stickers and like two or three for premade scenes… That’s it it will not let me select anything else it will not place anything else. I don’t even see the point of the button that is supposed to look for a flat service because there’s nothing to put on that flat service but even if there was that button doesn’t seem to do anything this just seems like a broken rushed app or a dead one I would love to give it five stars cause I love GIPHY but I can’t right now ### 5/5 — Can you fix this *2022-03-15, version 1.0.4* On my iPhone 11 every time I open it closes ### 1/5 — Kicks me out whenever I open the app *2022-03-13, version 1.0.4* I’ll give 5 stars until you fix this ## Frequently asked questions about GIPHY World ### What does GIPHY World do?
