This application allows users to manage and sync their GIF collections across multiple devices using cloud services like iCloud or Dropbox. By integrating these services, users can add new GIFs seamlessly and keep their entire collection backed up in the cloud, ensuring they never lose their favorite animations. The app humorously notes that real clouds are too wet to store GIFs in, so it keeps everything digital and easily accessible across devices.
The app features a straightforward sharing option via the bundled Messages app, making it quick and easy to send GIFs to friends in just seconds. Additionally, users can drag and drop multiple GIFs at once into or out of the app, simplifying the management process and enabling bulk operations. Searching for new GIFs is made effortless with built-in Giphy-powered search—simply type in a word or phrase, and the app will deliver popular, relevant GIFs, ranging from animals to pop culture icons.
Users can import various media types such as GIFs, Burst photos, and Live Photos from their Photo Library, and they also have the option to save edited or new GIFs back to Photos if they prefer. The app includes an extension for quick image saving, which, although not visually exciting, makes the process fast and user-friendly. Additionally, the preview feature supports both standard and retina quality, catering to different preferences regarding image clarity and pixel detail.
For enhanced features, users can opt for a GIFwrapped Premium subscription at a cost of USD $9.99 per year, which removes ads, unlocks additional capabilities, and supports independent creators. Premium members gain control over ad removal, bookmarking favorite searches for quick access, and the ability to recycle search history as bookmarks. The app also provides detailed information about each GIF, including frame count and duration. Subscriptions are managed through iTunes, with renewal and cancellation options explained clearly, and privacy and policy links provided for user assurance.
