GIPHY: The GIF Search Engine for Negative User Reviews
✓ What happened?I have used Giphy for some time now with no complaints - it has been great. Over the last 2 months I have noticed it hasn’t been working as well and/or was slow and glitchy at times. I am on iOS 17 and exclusively use giphy through iMessage when texting. When I tap the + icon in a text conversation then tap the giphy icon, the giphy plugin/app opens inside of iMessage as it would normally, but I can’t search, I don’t see a field that I would enter text to search, even tapping the magnifying glass doesn’t open search and/or bring up the keyboard. This basically renders the app useless and kills my giphy game :( Please help!.Version: 4.8.5
✓ Everything is amazing butIt’s just one thing that makes the whole app kinda useless It’s the plus or create gif button it doesn’t work I’ve tried everything nothing please fix that for devices :/.Version: 3.8.12
✓ Some great memesThis is a great app to share memes with friends on many platforms. However, I wouldn’t allow this app full keyboard access. As they will have to everything you type and previous key strokes including bank details and search history! Why do they need all this access, who are thy selling on to???.Version: 3.8.10
✓ Browser is much better than this application.There’s a lot of things/features to see on the browser than in this application..Version: 4.6.5
✓ Why ? :(Always make my iPhone 7s frozen every time i open it.Version: 2.7.2
✓ Can’t rest passwordThe app requires you to remember the password you forgot to reset your password. When you go to type the keyboard on your phone covers the text boxes you are entering information into. Not impressed with the layout or ability to use this platform. Have similar issues on the mobile browser as well..Version: 4.2.8
✓ Doesn’t work. Tried 10 times to make a gifYour Gif creation is so horrendously awful. I tried like 10 times unsuccessfully to create 1 gif. Couldn’t do it, the app can’t even handle text right. It crashes practically every time I add something new or it just won’t let me cook. I can’t copy and paste, I can’t move text around, your text size and shape is stupid and bad. All around it seems that your gif creator is nothing but a joke used to annoy potential customers and drive them away from your service. It was an awful frustrating experience and you would need to fix it and pay me to change my opinion and my recommendations to Friends..Version: 4.7.6
✓ Can’t see my gif on giphy searchCan’t see my gif on giphy search.Version: 4.8.1
✓ Hard to give a good review when it’s lack of controlSo apple forces app control onto developers and gives control to the user. Gift apparently fights this, I want access to photos and not camera. I won’t ever take photos directly to the app..Version: 4.7.5
✓ Can’t upload YouTube videosThat’s the whole point of downloading the app is easy and quick gif creations from YouTube and it more like Snapchat. So disappointing..Version: 4.7.4
✓ What is going on?I’m rating this app a 2 star because I can’t even create a gif, I’m on an IPad and whenever I tap “create” and I try to select a photo or recycled gif, then press “use” it doesn’t let me use anything. It doesn’t transfer me to another screen to edit my gif or do anything. This is an annoying bug and I’ve tried everything to try and fix this stupid glitch..Version: 3.9.1
✓ Terrible updateNormally I would’ve rated this for a five star but they’ve made some ridiculous update which is made this app from a great source of Gif files John idiotic navigation system to try and get what you want. Once you change this back I will change my review to a four or five star that this app used to be justifiably rated at..Version: 3.8.13
✓ Ok but has left-leaning biasThis app isn’t bad, I can usually find something similar to what I am actually looking for. But I’m noticing that in recent months it’s been pushing BLM, and now “women’s history month” like I’m supposed to feel like some oppressed person or something. I don’t need reminding that females used to be oppressed - it’s 2021. Thinking like that died in the 80’s and 90’s..Version: 4.1.3
✓ FOLDERS PLEASE!!!!I love the gifs, but it it so hard to find a specific one when looking through my favorites! I end up scrolling forever, it uses a ton of memory, and then most of the time, the gifs don’t load so I can’t even find what I was looking for in the first place. It takes way too long to remove a gif from my favorites, too. Unheart one, and it takes you back to the beginning of your favorites. I’d love to unheart half of my favorites, but that would take forever!! Please make it easier to organize and edit your favorites!!!.Version: 3.7.4
✓ OkOk 😶.Version: 2.6.3
✓ I’m Confused...I will edit this review once if figured out what to do but as of right now, I’m kinda lost. The app won’t let me change my profile picture, I’m not sure if you have to have a verified account to be able to change it but it isn’t showing me an option to change my profile. And on the other hand, the app crashes A LOT, I’m not sure if anyone else is experiencing this problem or if my iPhone can’t handle the app. So, could someone please explain to me why I can’t change my profile picture? That would be very helpful, -Tsukimi.Version: 3.9.2
✓ Update pleaseI have read many times that this is a great app however i have tried loading a gif to Instagram but it just shows a screen asking me to post to either ‘my story’ or ‘my feed’ I cannot do anything after that. Neither button lets me click on and doesn’t go through to my actual Instagram. I have tried saving to my phone and uploading that way however I just get a still image. Please fix!!!.Version: 2.7.1
✓ Can’t upload .gifsThis is so annoying!!! I go to upload a .gif I’ve made and NOTHING happens! I’ve uninstalled so many times and it has the same problem! Please fix!.Version: 3.8.5
✓ Cant delete accountI signed in with my Apple ID and I can't seem to delete the app despite following the instructions given. How am I doing what you suggested but it's unsuccessful?!?!?!.Version: 4.3.5
✓ Poor ServiceToday was the first time I ever decided to use this service. I was referencing my favorite film of 2019, The Lighthouse, when I decided to search up an appropriate gif that would compliment the conversation on an Instagram group chat. Like I said, it was my first time using the service, so I had no expectations going in. What I discovered was a horribly unpolished gif of Willem Dafoe and Robert Pattinson dancing together running at something like 5 frames per second. This was truly atrocious, especially because I’ve seen gifs of this same film on Twitter running at an adequate enough frame rate to get the job done. But Giphy here, they don’t care about their customers satisfaction in the slightest. Very disappointed. Ignore if you can..Version: 3.8.1
✓ Broken iMessage appThis is for The iMessage app not the actual app. So what did y'all do? This used to be amazing now I'm removing it from my apps. For the better part of a month, the icon has not had the giphy logo but rather that white schematic/blueprint like background that's more than likely a missing image. But it gets worse. I deleted the whole app entirely, redownloaded and went to add it back to iMessage and there's now an inexplicable "message extension plugin" that toggles in with the iMessage app. Even reset my phone but nothing would change it. Clutter and ugly. Please fix, this is the greatest app for gifs. Will update review when fixed..Version: 3.8.1
✓ Does anyone have this problem or know how to fix itI had this app recommended to me and it seemed really good the main reason i got it was to get a live haikyuu wallpaper but when i converted it to a live photo and saved it as my lock screen it would not move so i tried tapping and holding my finger down and again NOTHING still can’t get it to work if anyone else if having this problem please write a review to get it fixed!.Version: 4.2.8
✓ It’s averageI liked GIPHY for a while cos I get to save all my GIFS but now it’s not allowing me to save them in live format and it doesn’t allow me to login into my Facebook account one so I had to make a new one. It still doesn’t allow me to save in live format however the gifs provided are good and have a variety.Version: 3.5.3
✓ Experience issuesI’m reluctant to update after reading so many seemingly valid issues regarding the most recent update as I already had issues (from time to time) with “prior” version.(many times copy-paste leaves gif “flat”/& non animated etc.) So I’ll wait for improved comments on latest update b4 I attempt to update bcuz too often lately updates in general (from all apps) have completely ruined how the app worked & its user-experience awa its tendencies to create glitches to my iOS phone as well the app itself for unknown reasons🤷🏼♀️. Therefore I think I’ll wait to “update” until reviews on current update improves resolving all concerns. Sorry—but tyvm..Version: 3.4.1
✓ I’m a little confused?I downloaded this app so that I could manage my giphy uploads on the go but I don’t have access to my dashboard to see any views? Either on my profile or individual gifs? A bit odd considering the mobile site shows me this but the app does not.Version: 3.7
✓ CensorshipNot even good censorship, just has the worst results and stupid seo and you get nothing close to what you are searching. Tenor is way better..Version: 4.7.0
✓ Needs moreNeeds more content.Version: 4.8.3
✓ Gifs don’t animate when sending via AlloUse allo messenger with some mates, if I send a gif using giphy app it doesn’t animate on recipients phones even though it does on mine when I’ve sent it, if I send the same gif through allo built in gif search it works fine so must be something to do with this app. It used to work up until a few months ago but now I can’t really use it.Version: 2.8.5
✓ Slow LoadingIt took a while to load even when the connection is so strong I got this app from Johnny and Mackenzie #WhatIf and I thought I would try it out.Version: 2.8.5
✓ Deleted.. too politicalNegative images for conservatives. I’m all for a laugh but not one of lefties. I don’t appreciate your slant. When will you learn, stick to what you’re advertising. I don’t trust you and I certainly don’t want you to have access to my info and camera. No thanks.. deleted..Version: 4.1.2
✓ Where are all Hitler GIFs?Did Giphy join the PC hysteria?.Version: 3.4.0
✓ Don’t bother! It won’t work!I’ve resized video clips, resaved clips to different formats, I’ve made gifs on another app and tried to upload the basic gif to use here , it won’t upload ANYTHING. Lets me select what I want then goes back to the upload menu. I’ve tried it on desktop and the app, done everything mentioned in the troubleshooter, it just won’t work anymore. Only twice it has worked in about a year, and I didn’t even make what I planned as they were only to try out the app when I first got it. . I’ve deleted it, reinstalled...nothing. Rubbish..Version: 4.1.3
✓ Simple search doesn’t workFirst: can you disable autocorrect on the search field? It’s always wrong and really not helping. Search fields should not have autocorrect. Second: when a search term is autocorrected incorrectly, then it’s impossible to change it back. Editing the search to something else just keeps showing the same results. At some point it reverts the text in the field to the very first search term. It makes search completely unusable. It’s been like this for months, so finally decided to give the feedback here. Please fix this, it’s unusable unless your first search is correct.Version: 4.8.3
✓ InappropriateSex people.Version: 4.4.3
✓ DisappointedLost years and years of assorted fun GIPHY's with the latest update Previously it would have received a 5+ Now I can't even access my old "Library" Hate the NEW LATEST UPDATE Did we really really need it ????? Nothing has changed still ALL OLD LIBRARY HAS DISAPPEARED AND I CANNOT ACCESS YEARS AND YEARS OF WONDERFUL CAREFULLY SELECTED GIFY'S VERY VERY UPSET AND COMPLETELY DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS APP NOW SAD VERY SAD.Version: 4.3.6
✓ Doesn't open?It just shows the logo loading screen for a second then closes....Version: 2.6.1
✓ Was great, recently problematicThe 4.8.6 update on 3/5/24 fixed nothing. GYPHY used to work great but updating the app and/or iOS has made stickers difficult or impossible to size and place where I want them. Please fix these problems. Until the 2 stars and I’m using other similar apps. I would like to see folders added so I can group similar GIFs that are spread out through my one big collection that isn’t necessarily in an organized fashion. Or allow us to group similar GIFs. It’s perfect for making texting more fun and imaginative. Thanks to the developers who keep the app running smoothly and problem free..Version: 4.8.6
✓ Upload Bug with iPad?The app works fine on iPhone device, but when I try to upload a GIF or sticker with my iPad, it just doesn’t work. I am able to search my photos, but when I select something to upload it doesn’t do anything. iPad is new.Version: 3.8.13
✓ Converting to Live PhotoThe entire point I downloaded this app is because I wanted to be able to convert gifs to Live Photos so I can make them into wallpapers but whenever I try to save gifs as Live Photos it just doesn’t work I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling again and that hasn’t worked either, neither has restarting my phone, I’ve given it all the access needed to do it but every time I try to the little green line will pop up for a second then just disappear and no photo was saved, kinda disappointed ngl but there’s some other features about it that are pretty cool, I hope someone can come up with a solution but for now it’s a solid 3/5.Version: 4.3.6
✓ Crashing with latest updateSince updating to the latest version the app now crashes on launch and the message search function doesn’t load (the icon appears as the apple temp icon) Great app apart from this so looking forward to it being fixed. Crashing on iPhone XS 13.3.1.Version: 3.8.5
✓ Great app, but…..I don’t know what happened, but since switching over to the 13 pro max it doesn’t work well in messages. I live by the group chat. With that being said every time I come up with something witty, and I want to follow it with a gif, or when I want to react to someone’s message I’m having a hard time to do so. I tap on the GIPHY app in my messages and nothing loads. Just a black page. I gotta exit a few times till eventually it loads (doesn’t do it all the time, but enough times to be unhappy to write a review). By that time the group chat has sent 50+ messages and my gif will be irrelevant. Do you know how much of a loser I feel like when I’m being roasted, and I can’t add a gif to whoever I’m about to burn!? Please help me emotionally hurt these suckas in the group chat!!.Version: 4.3.2
✓ Screw you for taking over my keyboard on my phoneWhy is GIFY able to basically withhold my ability to have access to a keyboard on my phone unless I read their info and grant full access!!!??? Apple smarten the heck up!.Version: 3.4.0
✓ Can’t upload stickers at allI have tried everything to fix this problem for a month now including contacting the support email. After over a week of emails the problem still isn’t solved and it doesn’t seem like it will be. Every time I click “use” after I have selected a sticker it just goes know where land. I love the app I’m just feeling frustrated that no one seems to know what’s going on. I’m really sad since I was going to try to get verified as an artist. Update : customer service is crap. after emailing for 2 weeks they can’t tell me how to fix the problem and basically told me to use my computer instead. I’m sorry but that’s ridiculous when I create my gif stickers from my iPad. I have never left an angry review before but this is infuriating. My iPad is brand new and I have not changed anything. It is a problem with the app but no one knows how to fix it apparently..Version: 3.8.4
✓ Recent Update for iphone is malfunctioningThe Giphy keyboard does not work at all.Version: 3.6.3
✓ Freezes, glitchesA lot of basic stuff in the app requires looking into such as being able to zoom in to videos, rotating videos etc. It also needs to add more features, such as having the option to select which album you want to upload your video from to create the gif. It’s an inconvenience scrolling up and down through 13,000 photos and videos..Version: 3.5.3
✓ Great on iPhone, terrible on iPadSlow and crashy on iPad, great on iPhone..Version: 3.8.1
✓ Always crashes** update - still crashing/freezing. It’s getting super frustrating when I’m in the actual app bc I have to continually restart it. ** LOVE this app. But with the last few updates he app loads then freezes so I have to restart the entire app. I tried pausing the gifs hoping that would solve the problem and it doesn’t. The person that mentioned how all of the favorites are linked into one list is on point. It’s hard to go find the gifs I’ve favorited bc I have to scroll through hundreds of them AND wait for them to load to see where I am in the list. A way to sort them would be awesome. But the biggest gripe is the fact that it always freezes unless you’re in the iMessage app. 6s+ iOS 11.0.3.Version: 2.6.8
✓ Updated app just now - crashes on loginJust a heads up - tried to send some Valentine’s Day gifs to some folks but decided to finally update the app… updated… it crashed after download so I killed it, redownloaded and it worked “be animated” (with scrolling gifs). Then tried to login and it crashed - twice. Killed and downloaded again. Went to login and it crashed. I’m on an iPhone 12, running 16.0 (I will update to version 16.3.1, which may be the issue, but just a heads up). When the app works and I can use it, I really like it - but this seems kind of critical. 🙌.Version: 4.6.2
✓ Where’s the Fish Slapping Dance ???Seriously I’ve just been trying to find something that used to work on this app. Finding funny Monty Python gifs. Where’s the Fish Slapping Dance ??? So they’ve been removed or something. Now finding lots of not so funny Gifs. Makes me have to go around and get it straight off the internet. This app is rapidly becoming devoid of any interesting content..Version: 4.8.5
✓ No Longer Worth The TroubleThis app used to be great, but it’s no longer worth you trouble if you’re intending to use it to post gif reactions or images on message boards. The last update broke the “copy image link” feature. Now, when a link is copied, the entire link is no longer copied to your mobile device’s clipboard. You are now provided with a partial link that lacks the latter portion, including the actual image’s name and file extension. The only thing that you post on a message board when using this app is a big, red X indicating a broken image link. Furthermore, when you compare the partial link that is provided by the app to the link that is provided by the site when visiting it from a laptop or workstation, the links are noticeably different. Save yourself a lot of time, headache and heartache, and choose a different app for your gif needs..Version: 3.3.1
✓ Favourite Tab has stopped workingThe favourite tab has stopped working aonce last update and a delete doesn’t fix it. Makes the app useless when you have a library of saved Gifs. Pity it was good..Version: 4.0.3
✓ Doesn’t do what it saysAll over the internet, including on the GIPHY site it gives detailed instructions to make gifs from multiple pics (slideshow). It cannot be done on the app it linked me to and gave instructions for..Version: 3.8.2
✓ UselessMakes you setup up an account with your email. Typed in the exact verification code they sent to my email. Said it was invalid and now can’t sign in with my email or get a new verification code. Absolutely stupid. Moving on to another app..Version: 4.3.5
✓ Old ladyLots of fun stuff and, using Search, you can find anything you want! 🐾 Sept. 5/17 - Ditto!!.Version: 2.6.3
✓ Loading IssuesBy far my favorite app for GIFS, but for some reason there’s LOTS of ISSUES when launching the app in general or in iMessage in order to use it. Had this app for 2 years. Not understanding how every time I update the app, this issue still isn’t resolved. Rather annoying honestly. It’s like you guys aren’t really fixing the issues or “bugs” this app has. As for customer complaints/reviews that I’ve read, I see there are many other people who’ve rated this app below 3 Stars. Well unfortunately, I’m rating you guys a “1 Star” review, and I’m most likely thinking about uninstalling… but it’s not like you guys care about your customers reviews/complaints anyway, so, why not uninstall right? Just ridiculous….Version: 4.5.2
✓ Takes too long to be verifiedAsked to be verified and able to post gifs to Insta this time last year … still waiting.Version: 4.4.3
✓ Wish it worked with Kik as wellWorks great for iPhone message but doesn't work with kik.Version: 2.6.4
✓ UpdateLatest update keeps crashing on me for some reason when I try and create my own Gif. I was able to make one successfully but since then once it selects the clip from my collection it then shuts..Version: 3.5.0
✓ Fix the bugs please?I upload a great deal, but i always have to restart the app completely between uploads because otherwise it crashes itself after i upload one and go for the second. if i change my profile on my pc is takes ages so be updated on my app. i can’t even edit my profile from the app. there are also no analytics? or ways to follow people etc, just posting gifs that no one finds because i’m just a random user. i make gifs for me to use but also anyone else!! if i wasn’t so obsessed with making gifs i probably would’ve rated it less :(.Version: 3.8.7
✓ Great app but a few Annoying issuesI like using this app to turn my animations into gifs so I can easily upload them to devientart but recently it won’t let me upload videos and it says “upload failed” I’ve tried it in multiple locations for the same result, I’ve tried different videos to no avail. Would give a higher rating but the issues make it annoying especially when making gifs.Version: 4.8.3
✓ AghKeeps crashing on iOS 10.3.2!.Version: 2.6.1
✓ Seniors apartmentsGreat.Version: 4.8.1
✓ Changes to GIPHY (& messenger)Since I can no longer send GIPHY by messenger & have had to resort to the main GIPHY app to get my GIPHs I’m finding the search on there infuriating and unsatisfying. I had my favourites pop up all the while before now I can’t find any of them 🥺.Version: 4.7.1
✓ Chance for improvementIt would be great if you had a kid friendly switch that would block adult content without parental approval. Perhaps a password protected option that parents could opt for their children..Version: 3.6.5
✓ The Newest Update Is Bad (November 2018)They recently changed it and copying links to gifs from the app makes them appear as links, not gifs when put in websites and blogs :( Gifs are supposed to be .gif not /gif/.Version: 3.3.1
✓ Very low quality since last updateGIFs are very low quality since last update. Downloading and/or uploading result in terrible pixelation. Turning off the “optimize GIFs” setting makes no difference..Version: 4.3.5
✓ S L O W !!It provides gods---IF you're willing to wait forever for them to download. Maybe it's because I have an iPhone 5 but I find it painful to use..Version: 2.6.7
✓ EekI have this app on my iphone and it works perfectly fine. I re downloaded it onto my ipad and now the create gif doesn’t work? I tap the upload from photos and press use then it just goes back to the create a gif screen. If this is a glitch or bug please fix it..Version: 3.8.13
✓ CreepyIn order to use you have to give this app “Full access allows the developer of this keyboard to transmit anything you type, including things you have previously typed with this keyboard.” Nah that’s just suspicious asf..Version: 4.7.4
✓ Hostage taker appThis is a great app with one exception, that makes it unbearable. If you don’t let the app have full access to your keyboard it takes the keyboard hostage. It pops up a message over the keyboard that says allow full access with a button for MORE INFO. If you click the button and don’t allow full access it keeps the message over the keyboard. If you force close the app you are trying to use the keyboard in and reopen it still has the keyboard hostage! This is a ridiculous feature. If there is some way the developer can change this I would re download it..Version: 3.4.0
✓ Good GIF solution, but animation speed is wrongI’m on an iPhone X with iOS 13.3. For some time now, I’ve noticed that when using the GIPHY keyboard to send texts (by just tapping the GIF image you want to use, and allowing it to automatically add the image to your text message), the animation-speed of the GIF that gets sent is noticeably slower that what the GIPHY keyboard showed, and the sent GIF usually ends several frames too soon. The only way I’ve found to send GIPHYs that play back at regular speed is to open the GIPHY *app*, and from there, I have the option to save a GIF to my camera roll. THEN I can go to my camera roll and attach THAT saved GIF to a text message. It’s a few extra hoops to jump through, which is why I deducted a couple stars. As far as being able to quickly find appropriate and funny GIFs for my needs, it’s great..Version: 3.8.1
✓ No more than a search engineI got this app specifically because it was promoted that it posts to Instagram. Easy search function if you know what you’re looking for. Try and post it and it does nothing. Sits on the posting screen, none of the buttons work, have to close and restart instagram. If this is fixed than this app might be ok..Version: 2.7.1
✓ BUG* - check your photo albumsBeen years and still haven’t fixed this bug that creates empty photo albums called GIPHY when use the app. Super frustrating as can’t delete more than one at a time… takes awhile to delete them all. :( Please fix!!.Version: 4.8.4
✓ Absolutely TerribleIt doesn’t even work! I’m sending this from my iPhone 5c and no matter what I do I can’t open the app and I can’t get it to access the keyboard too! My friend who has an iPhone 7+ says that the gifs aren’t even very good! This app is bad!! I 100% do not recommend this to ANYONE! 😡.Version: 2.8.8
✓ After update, app glitchesAre we no longer able to select a sticker by holding it and dragging it into a message? After update it doesn’t work for me anymore. When holding to drag a sticker to message or adjusting the size, the sticker just disappears and get deselected. Previously I was able to select a sticker by holding it down, and dropping it on to the message. I also could pinch out to enlarge and drop it into message. Now anytime I hold a sticker to drop on a message it disappears. Are we no longer able to change sticker sizes and drag & drop them into messages?.Version: 4.8.5
✓ Images Missing from AppAlthough all the gifs appear on the website version, only about a third appear on the app on the iPhone, or iPad. Frustrating to say the least. Nor does the text editing work as well in the mobile version..Version: 3.0.1
✓ Crash.Crashes everytime I try to save a GIF..Version: 1.2
✓ BuggyEvery time I want to upload a Gif the app freezes and shuts down, consequently deleted the process and starting it all again. Very frustrating.Version: 4.6.6
✓ Constant freezingBest selection of giphy’s but the constant glitching and freezing is beyond annoying. Most of the time my phone freezes for minutes before i am even able to restart it..Version: 2.7.1
✓ Not what I expected at all.I wanted to be able to save and access giphys to text or email. Now I’m trying to figure out how to delete my account..Version: 4.7.4
✓ Wish I could use more than one imageI wish I could use more than one image and not have to use stickers to make a gif but some of the stickers make me happy.Version: 4.3.5
✓ Abysmal ChangesI’ve been (very happily) using the Giphy web service for the last few years to make gifs that I feel are high quality and are fun to post. I felt very positively about Giphy until one day I logged in to continue my pleasant gif-making hobby and - suddenly - the ‘create gif’ button (a + at the top of my page) no longer directs me to where I make my gifs, but instead to an uncloseable screen that tells me to download the app. At first I thought I could click through this - I don’t like downloading a ton of apps, I keep my phone neat and storage relatively low - but when I tried to skip past it and reopen the page I found that I couldn’t. Now this is very frustrating, as I’ve been (and might I add again, very happily) using the web page for awhile - and suddenly the only way to access my ability to make gifs is to download the app? An app I was to find out works completely differently, much worse, and is way too busy? An app that takes up too much space on my phone? An app that I, by all means, do not want to download? I deleted it immediately, I didn’t even make a single gif. One of the worst changes I have ever seen to anything, ever. I want a working and accessible web page - not some ugly redirect to an app that doesn’t work in the way I’ve been using Giphy this entire time. I literally wish I could rate this lower than a one, but I unfortunately can’t. Do not download, it’s not worth your time. There are better..Version: 4.7.4
✓ What happened to GIPHY keyboard??I use GIPHY keyboard almost daily, and it has really gone downhill. Ever since iOS 15, it is a struggle just to get it to load in Messages. Try over and over and over and over and hope it eventually loads. But now something has happened this week where the gifs it sends are much smaller than usual. What is going on here? I double checked and I do not have low-quality images enabled in Messages. Yet using the #images keyboard app, they send just fine. They even say “GIPHY via #images” and the same exact gif is much bigger than when actually using the real GIPHY keyboard extension..Version: 4.4.6
✓ Please update again to iOS 11GIPHY used to work great across all apps until I had to update to iOS 11. Now it won’t download to Facebook and keeps asking me to ‘Log in’ when I already am. Please do something quick! I miss be able to use it..Version: 2.6.3
✓ Can't send feedback, can't modify past searchesI was going to submit this as feedback via the GIPHY iOS app > gear menu, but received error "mail services not available" (I am presuming this may be because I was logged in via Facebook app. If so, I was unable to use the app to modify my GIPHY profile to add an email address. Another annoyance). The only feedback I was wanting to submit was that after enabling the GIPHY keyboard in iOS, although the keyboard will display recent search history, you cannot add/change words in the query or else it clears the text and starts a new search. Very frustrating for fixing typos, changing keywords, doing a narrowed down search, etc..Version: 3.4.0
✓ Gifs are not loadingUnusable, at least on ipad, search only yield loading gifs.Version: 4.2.5
✓ Half aren’t animated anymore when sharedGifs are meant to be shared. If they’re no longer animated then you might as well just be a meme.Version: 4.8
✓ Wont let me make a gif??Seems like a great app, but when I try to make a gif and I tap on “select from photo library”, the screen won’t load. It either shows just a white screen or freezes. I cant make a gif at all. Please fix this, other then that great app but I only downloaded it so I could make gifs. Disappointed :/.Version: 4.1.8
✓ Wow, that’s a lot of 1 starsThe first few reviews that pop up smear this app, and after reading developer responses along with other reviews, I am not going to get this app, I do not want an app that a lot of people have plenty of major issues with, and just to list a few repeating ones: Login not working correctly, asking for access to the camera, political stuff, etc. These issues don’t seem to have been addressed properly as almost all of the developer responses say something along the lines of “Sorry for help email us at (support email)” and all of the responses give a robotic feel, and to me it feels like the developers are not listening to the feedback they receive, I’d also love to see a developer respond to this..Version: 4.5.0
✓ Delete AppSince last update, there’s a popup every time the app is opened. Delete..Version: 4.8.2
✓ Overrated!Way too over rated! Not worth the download..Version: 4.8.3
✓ Waste of time, does not work.....I was looking forward to using this GIPHY application to create free Gif’s for myself to use on Social Networks, but unfortunately once I signed into Facebook to download the application was just stuck on processing for over 1 hour. So I gave up by stoping the process, logging out of Facebook and deleting this waste of time application which does not work!.Version: 3.1.0
✓ I can’t even make my own gifs anymore..I wanted to make a gif of my friend from this funny video of him but it NEVER shows up every time i try to go through with it no matter what i did (i even turned my phone off, closed out & reopened the app, updated the app, and even got it on my iPad to see if it would do it) but NOTHING! i really used to love this app but now i can’t even make my own gifs anymore. also not only can i NOT see the video i’m trying to turn into a gif, but WHY should i be forced to put a sticker on it before proceeding??! IT’S FUNNY ON ITS OWN! i literally NEVER leave reviews for apps so this is really telling something with how unhappy i am with this app that i USED TO love and be able to USE. PLEASE FIX THIS APP 🗣🗣🗣🗣.Version: 4.2.3
✓ Keeps glitchingIt’s good to have lots of choice however the app keeps glitching, won’t load gifs or the link to share doesn’t work, have to close the app completely & start again for it to work smoothly. It was fine for the first couple of weeks..Version: 4.7.1
✓ IrritatingI got this app for one reason- to convert gifs into live photos on my phone. However, when I opened the app, my battery rapidly started dropping. Then the gifs were jerky and weird. Then I tried to convert a gif into a live photo and guess what! It never converted. I waited at least ten minutes and nothing happened. I was so mad. I deleted the app and I’m never getting it again. The app is probably decent for other stuff but I wouldn’t recommend getting it at all..Version: 3.5.3
✓ Does Not Work Well on iPhone 13 Pro/No App SupportThis used to be so easy to use, but, ever since I got the iPhone 13 Pro, the app is difficult to use. After I make a gif, I have to delete the app and re-install it to make another one. If I don’t, it just freezes and nothing works. Reinstalling doesn’t always work on the first try either. Sometimes I have to delete the app and reinstall it multiple times in order for it to work, and heaven forbid I decide to change my mind and change the photo/video I’m trying to make a gif with, cuz the app freezes and then I’m back to deleting and reinstalling! And occasionally it’ll be working just fine then inexplicably freeze, and it’s back to square one. Also, app support is non-existent with this app..Version: 4.6.6
✓ Recent update = deletedLoved giphy but now every time i click the symbol to change my keyboard, giphy doesn’t like the fact that i don’t give them full access. i don’t want too, and i don’t find it fair that i’m being pestered to do it every time i want to use an emoji. (uses the excuse that they don’t have access to the internet) this is the first time this has happened to me and i’ve been using this app for a over a year..Version: 3.5.1
✓ Won’t workI’ve never been able to log in. I created an account with an email and it keeps giving me “Authentication error” even after verifying my account. I also tried by signing in with my Apple ID and it still gives me “Authentication error” and I am unable to use the app..Version: 4.7.4
✓ Wasted my timeGot it so I could use the live photos feature so that I could have a moving background of some of my favourite movies and series, it doesn’t work, I hit save and nothing happens. I can only save the gif to my photos and not save Live Photos..Version: 4.3.7
