Simply the BEST

Grant Tarredus
I purchased this on 11 April 2014, and I’ve made thousands - not hundreds, but literally thousands- of gifs with it. The interface is as intuitive as you could hope for. On several occasions I’ve written the developer with a question or suggestion, and he’s responded quickly and helpfully every time. The app has worked perfectly for me on every model iPhone I’ve used from 4S to my current 13 Pro (running iOS 18.1). I absolutely love it.

Crashes more often than it used to but still an incredibly powerful free app.Wish it would go back to previous iteration of frame edit view, when I could rotate my phone to change thumbnail size and frames weren’t cropped to fill thumbnail space.

Can’t make gifs with immediate media

I want to make a gif out of a couple pics or video I recently took. Nope. You won’t be able to use media that was taken in the last three hours. Horrible.
