Though is is still a great app! ### 1/5 — Too Many Photos *2020-11-21* Asks for too broad photo permissions, and won’t operate with limited access **Developer response:** This is due to a limitation of limited photo access. Burst frames cannot be fetched in limited access mode. ### 1/5 — Zero usability. *2020-07-05* You know what would be helpful? A way to import an burst image. Unknown if this app can actually do as it claims and convert files to gif or video since it seems to lack any obvious function to allow the acquisition of files to manipulate. Fail. ### 3/5 — Can’t Disable Loop/Bounce *2018-10-09* Works, but the video is a loop or bounce of the burst on repeat. I just want a video of the burst from beginning to end. Hard-coding a loop or bounce into the video makes for a long video with a large file size. **Developer response:** In version 1.2 you can long press on the “Video” button to get the option to only loop once! ### 3/5 — Doesn't work *2018-05-04* I tried this app on my iphone x 11.3.1 and no pictures/video appears at all. I can't do anything with the app. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Produce the gif with no quality, making gif distroys the quality *2023-12-09* Dont install this app ### 1/5 — Too invasive *2023-06-20* 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. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2022-10-25* No point downloading because it just plain doesn’t work ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2022-07-05* 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. ### 1/5 — Couldn’t get it to work *2022-04-22* Worst app I’ve ever downloaded ### 1/5 — Am I missing something? *2022-01-30* I’m trying to use the app and wanted to only allow access to selected photos. There seems to be a loop within the app that hat I can’t get past where it is showing options to allow access to selected photos, all photos, or none. I tried choosing the option for selected photos but the check mark then moves to the all photos option. After trying several times to get past this step without success I was willing to let it have access to all photos but the app still won’t move on to the next step. Why give the options of using selected photos if they the app won’t work?? Also, why won’t the process move along now that I’m allowing it to use all photos?? ### 1/5 — Not working on 6s *2021-12-07* Looked promising and simple, but does not work on iPhone 6s. Gets stuck once Photos are selected, even restart does not resolve issue. Deleted it instantaneously. ### 1/5 — Crashes when I press GIFS *2021-10-04* I’ve used burst before and when I press video it will not get rid of my last photo I used so I can’t make another one; it will just bring me to the screen where I can save the old burst. Also when I press GIFS the app just crashes. I really liked this app so hopefully it can get fixed and I can give a better rating. The app is updated & still does the same thing. ### 1/5 — Jammed* *2021-09-25* Doesn’t want to create a burst without access to all photos. Given an option of selecting particular photos, it doesn’t allow the software to advance ### 1/5 — Useless app *2021-02-27* Only like one of my bursted photos will load on the app and it’s not even the one I wanted to turn into a video. Even after deleting and downloading the app again nothing changed. Major fixes are needed for this app to be enjoyable. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Simple and Effective! *2024-04-06* Straightforward app that does exactly as promised. Very easy to use. Turned my burst photos into a GIF with one tap. Thanks! ### 5/5 — Very simple to use *2023-08-25* It would be great if you could adjust the FPS of the output. Currently the video seems a bit sped up. ### 5/5 — Love this app!! Thank you so much! *2021-12-24* 💕 One of the best free photo app! ### 5/5 — BEST & EASIEST APP!!! *2021-04-09* For ME, Only using the burst mode can you get that 1, amazing shot out of hundreds.. for example, trying to make newly born granddaughter laugh, out of 400+ burst.. there was only 1 perfect picture where she not only smiled, but she opened her eyes which is priceless.. Not wanting to delete all the other pictures or spend the time deciding which ones I want to keep, I can keep them all in a video.. 2 ideas though would be nice.. 1) having hundreds of bursts, it’s a pain having to click on video & then click on the button to STAY HERE.. if a user doesn’t want to stay there, I’m sure they know how to get out of the app.. for me clicking STAY HERE 500 times is a pain & waste of time.. 2) Speaking of converting all ones burst to videos.. it would be GREAT to set the app in a mode where it CONVERTS ALL BURTS INTO A VIDEO instead of clicking 3 buttons each time then sliding over to do the same over & over again.. Still.. Great App! Saved me hours if not days going through them all.. I’ll be using the app for life as I create bursts.. thank you ### 5/5 — More features *2020-11-04* Dope app man but add a feature so you can alter the speed sheit ### 5/5 — Fun! *2020-10-21* This has been really fun to play with. It works best in burst photos with many shots not just a handful (which makes total sense). Some of my very very old burst mode photos don’t seem to work, but that is probably an issue with old burst photos not the app. ### 5/5 — Simple and Powerful *2020-07-30* Great app to convert burst captures to animated GIF and video. Let’s you see the file size before you decide to save the animation! ### 5/5 — This is a neat app *2018-09-06* Super neat, clean and intuitive. Whoever made this knows what they are doing! ### 4/5 — Great, but *2023-07-02* 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 ### 3/5 — Easy to use but doesn't do much *2019-10-11* The animation is too fast and there is no way to control the speed. I dare say that different phones take bursts at different rates. I have an iPhone XR --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
