Just watch a quick ad at the end and they give it to you. Except recently the ads are broken. The X to close it never pops up, or if it does you can’t click it and you’re stuck there. Waste of time every time. ### 5/5 — Great *2026-05-29, version 3.9.19* Works as intended couldn’t ask for more or less ### 5/5 — Easy to Use *2026-05-06, version 3.9.19* Great app - easy to use ### 5/5 — Quick and easy *2026-04-05, version 3.9.19* Great app for making GIFs . Quick and easy. ### 4/5 — My fave video-to-gif app *2026-03-16, version 3.9.19* Makes good clear gifs, allows frame editing, gives me a good estimate of the output file size. The only nitpick I’d have is it doesn’t have a way to put text that I can have show up starting in specific frames. But otherwise, this is the gif maker I use most often. ### 5/5 — My opinion *2026-03-13, version 3.9.19* Love it love it love it ### 5/5 — My go to video to Gif app *2026-03-07, version 3.9.19* Love this app been using it for years. ### 5/5 — great app for gifs *2026-02-16, version 3.9.19* love the easiness but hate the ads and ui ### 5/5 — Tuff *2026-02-08, version 3.9.19* Does what it needs to without annoying pro subscriptions i think I lowk forgot ### 5/5 — easy to use and helpful *2026-02-06, version 3.9.19* simple layout,, and nice features ,!! ### 5/5 — Nice *2026-02-01, version 3.9.19* The process is easy and simple ### 4/5 — it’s tea *2026-01-26, version 3.9.19* it’s work on twitter ### 3/5 — Review *2026-01-20, version 3.9.19* Slow loading pictures ### 5/5 — Perfect *2026-01-05, version 3.9.19* Wonderful ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Ads won’t close *2026-07-09, version 3.9.19* It’s frustrating that you can’t close the ads even after you watch them. Please fix the glitch so the ad page isn’t stuck and you can’t do anything in the app. ### 1/5 — Annoying and Clumsy *2026-07-05, version 3.9.19* Ads, ads, ads, and yes … MORE ADS. Stay away. ### 1/5 — Does not work if you don’t pay *2026-04-24, version 3.9.19* Does not work if you don’t pay. When you are done with editing and want to export/save the gif, you have an to watch an ad (which is standard for free apps), but you can’t go past it. So take a subscription, or find something else. ### 1/5 — fix it *2026-03-28, version 3.9.19* fix the glitch where theres a error on the “create URL” feature ### 1/5 — unusable *2026-02-05, version 3.9.19* wont stop crashing. worked for a single gif and then doesnt let u exit out of ads to finsih the process and just gets stuck there. crashes if u try to remove the ads by paying the fee ### 1/5 — Irritating *2026-02-01, version 3.9.19* Well done. You’ve turned something that worked well into cr*p. I used this a lot. And I don’t know what you’ve done, but now when I try to use this, the advert comes up & blocks the entire screen. I could deal with this if the advert then disappeared. But it doesn’t. It stays there & the app thus becomes 100% useless. So now deleted. ### 1/5 — Woeful UX *2025-11-16, version 3.9.19* Buggy and incoherant UI ### 1/5 — Sticks on Advert! *2025-11-11, version 3.9.19* Sticks on advert and doesn’t move off screen unless cancelling the App and then doesn’t retain the work! ### 1/5 — Keeps crashing due to ads. *2025-10-09, version 3.9.19* This app used to work great, but now it just keeps crashing when I watch an ad. Gotta find another app now. (Iphone 16 pro max / 1 TB) ### 1/5 — Massive problem with ads. *2025-09-24, version 3.9.19* Cannot restore my purchase for ad free experience. Cannot exit ads when I make my gif. Needs to be fixed, until then DO NOT USE THIS APP. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Pretty goated for a few app *2026-08-09, version 3.9.19* Yeah ### 5/5 — Best GIF Maker. *2026-07-22, version 3.9.19* App was extremely easy to navigate and use.
