  2. 4/5To ELR4224 and Developers...

    Reading the reviews visual left makes 100% sense. There is no way to categorize and save without having to go through each individual gif. I’m sure you guys are hard at work trying to resolve the problem and come up with a decent solution in a timely manner while trying to for fill the needs of the every day people but just because the people don’t make requests and leave feedback that doesn’t make us part of the every day people either. Because without us there wouldn’t be the improvements that are needed to make your app that much more success among The crowd. As GIFs become more and more popular and sustained in modern pop culture, it is apparent that they are here to stay. So in hindsight..any requests that come through that are for the developers to make a change.. this is something you should have a section in your department ready to go at a moments notice. Look at it like this, the quicker the algorithms get put together the quicker you can get more customers and consumers however you would like to label it..."Users" there you go...(If only we had a cure for the common brain fart LOL). But make sure your "think tank" over there is putting themselves in the shoes of the common 17-year-old 22-year-old 30-year-old what have you. That way you can stay ahead of the curve and feedback will be needed, but maybe sometims less to make better...just to tweek I guess lol. If you fix it before we think of it..I’d say you’ve done your job. Nonetheless you guys are very thorough and quick to fix problems please don’t ever lose that edge...Gracias!

  3. 5/5Best GIF App Out There!!!

    The GIPHY app and website is by far the best GIF app available. It's extremely user friendly, easy to use, and simple navigate. It is widely available and easy to set up an account. Also, any GIF you are looking for, if you can't find it here, it's probably not out there, because GIPHY has all the GIFs you could possibly want or need. Whether you're trying to upload or download a GIF, or maybe you're trying to save or copy a GIF, and paste it somewhere, like in text to a friend or group chat via iMessage or WhatsApp.. there is absolutely no better GIF related app out there than GIPHY!

  4. 2/5Acres of Incredibly Lame GIFs

    While there theoretically may be GIFs in GIPHY's database that aren't terrible, you are not going to find them using the app's "search" tool because it can only look up existing tags, and only one tag at a time at that. If the word(s) in your "search terms" aren't an existing tag, you will get 0 results. This also means your "search" results will be the most boring and/or unaesthetic GIFs from decades ago that you would be embarrassed to send to your aunt that still forwards Nigerian Prince chain emails. If you do manage to find a reasonable GIF in their database by searching with Google, attempting to 'Visit' said GIF from Google's search results will force you to open the app, and instead of showing that GIF, it uses the GIF's first tag and does a new look up on it. Your GIF might be in the results or it might not, but you will be presented with a slew of other awful GIFs that might be relevant to what you were looking for. And don't attempt to copy and paste animate GIFs as all you will see is the title (key) frame. TL;DR: GIPHY is the primary reason why most people think GIFs are lame.

  5. 1/5One of the most Inconvenient Systems I’ve ever had to Work With

    The design of this app is terrible. Uploading images is painful and buggy, and if I close out or open another tab for one second then the whole app stops working and the photo stays without actually doing anything, forcing me to restart the app. No reason to make it so that you can’t upload still images either. Another thing is the incredibly limited editing system. You can’t upload anything yourself, and the stickers and effects that ARE in the library barely work. You can’t resize them, move them around, etc. so they’re utterly pointless. Also, every time I try to upload a gif, it says “upload failed” but never says why. I’ve looked into it, fixed every potential problem, and still have no idea what I’m doing wrong. Maybe if this app was created by decently competent people they could’ve taken 5 seconds out of their day to make it so that users can actually see what the hell they’re supposed to do.
