1. 5/54 1/2 stars... bumped to 5 because it is priced well for a good-quality service.

   Overall easy to use and nice quality clips result. I like the option to save as a GIF or a short video clip. Only feature I wish it had (or, maybe it does but I can’t find it?) is the ability to condense video clips longer than about 20 seconds. I can go in after the clip has been selected and remove individual frames to condense the movie into less frames, but I can only do that after the 20 second (max) section of the original video has already been selected. If I could remove frames before that point, I could condense longer videos than what I can using this app. Still, even with that limitation, the app has a lot of tools to allow you to manipulate different aspects of the length, speed, contrast, color effects, and to add in text to some or all of the clip. Also, the text options are great, especially the ability to change the background color and opacity where the text is, so that the text is easy to read (some apps don’t have that option). I very much appreciate that this is a one-time purchase rather than a subscription. This makes it a good bargain for a relatively high quality app that is somewhat comparable to some of the subscription-based apps, but a much better investment. There is a small watermark that remains in the GIF images even once you’ve purchased the app, but it is much smaller than the free version. It doesn’t bother me, but some folks might appreciate knowing that purchasing the app results in a much smaller/more discrete watermark, though there still is a symbol present in the lower right corner.

2. 5/5Worth Paying For

   I want to preface with saying I am usually not a fan of apps with subscriptions models with no option to buy a lifetime license nor offer a “pay-once” option. *For the developer(s) who is/are reading this*- please understand I can appreciate why subscription models exist to support your business and allow you to continue with keeping bugs at bay & updates active. *For others looking to potentially download this app*- Hopefully my candor with this quick review helps others know that this is not a bot/astroturfed review. That said, I found this app leagues above other video->gif converter apps for a few reasons! (1.) The UX/UI is clean & intuitive. (2.) The fps of the gif is up to the user (lovely!) with a range from 15fps to 30fps. (3.) There is a “weekly” subscription model (as well as the usual monthly & yearly you may see on other apps)…. so while I’m usually not a fan of subscriptions (I’m more of a lifetime-license/buy-it-once fan), I am grateful to the dev for making this “weekly” option available for folks who only want to use their app for once-in-a-while situations

3. 5/5Features suddenly locked behind paywall

   *updated* I wanted to update my review after the response from the developer. I appreciated them listening to my frustration and I checked the app and the option to max out a file size when saving is back to being a free feature. Thank you for not only listening but also deciding to reverse that paywall. I really missed being able to use this app. I really liked this app and used it frequently but suddenly the feature of choosing the max file size to save the gif as is locked behind a paywall. It's really frustrating. Many times the gifs save in such large file sizes even with low quality selected so that was a great feature. Resize is already locked behind the paywall so why is something so simple as a file size choice suddenly a pay only feature? I'll be trying to find an alternative unless this decision gets reversed which I truly hope you'd consider doing.

4. 4/5Great App, Could Use Some Further Options

   App is fun to use. However, I wish it had a few more options available: - MPEG-4 AAC, H.264 Codec for Video - when exporting video, the codec for the MP4 files are HEVC. I can't upload to some websites like Pixieset because they only accept H264 or MPEG4k codec videos. So what I've been doing is exporting video files using this app, then reimporting and exporting using Adobe Express online so that the video could be converted to H264 codec. Kind of a long work around but it works. - Sort By Filename option. I wish there was some way to sort file names of the photos to be used as a GIF. Sometimes importing the files into the app makes it out of order and it's hard to discern which one goes first etc. If there was a way to implement that option, that would be awesome. - Seconds input & slider. At the moment, when choosing the duration of a gif or video, you can only use a slider but sometimes it's annoying because you move a little and you go over what you're trying by .01 seconds. For example, if i'm exporting a video and I know that I want it to be .09 speed, the only way I can do that is with the slider and sometimes I'll miss the mark and make it .10 or .11. I wish there was a way to just type in the duration with my keyboard in addition to also having the slider available. Hopefully in an update they can do both. Other than those few quirks, this is a very powerful tool and I'm glad that I purchased the full version.

5. 5/5Best editing app! For gifs and photos.

   For the longest time, I’ve wanted photoshop to do fancy edits with transparent backgrounds and being able to overlay gifs on top of each other. For about 6 years, I’ve tried multiple apps and they all couldn’t even come close to the capabilities of Adobe. However, I was recommended this app by an editor that I like. Ever since I’ve opened this, it feels like my hobby as a gif/photo editor has changed completely. Any apps made on this app benefits you and doesn’t seem like just another cash grab for money by people that think you’re stupid. It has so many capabilities such as stickers, filters, and my favorite— the ability to change the canvas. It is so, so useful and I honestly recommend that everyone that either doesn’t have photoshop or a desktop download it. Because it is worth every single five star review given on here and will save you a bunch of time and energy in exchange for fun.
