Simple and Effective!

Straightforward app that does exactly as promised. Very easy to use. Turned my burst photos into a GIF with one tap. Thanks!

Great, but

It’s a bit hard for one person to use, turning ian object, while manipulating the camera button is impossible, a little timer to let you get set up would be helpful. It’s a cool app nonetheless

Too invasive

There’s is no reason for this app to require access to all photos and videos. If you only provide the selected burst, you’re unable to use the app.

Doesn’t work

No point downloading because it just plain doesn’t work

Doesn’t work

Seems like a great concept. But I’m stuck in a loop trying to view my photos. Can’t get past that point. Delete and move on.
