## Review summary

The app is praised as a free, easy-to-use GIF editor with solid editing tools (cropping, captions) and no signup, making it a popular go-to for basic tasks. However, widespread complaints focus on intrusive ads (with no paid removal option), stability and loading problems (crashes on save, frames loading out of order), permission prompts and unclear UI, plus a caption character limit. These issues detract from its usefulness despite strong core functionality.

### Pros

- Free app with no sign-up required.
- Easy to use with a simple interface.
- Rich editing options including cropping and captions.
- Widely considered a reliable go-to GIF maker for basic editing.

### Cons

- Intrusive, excessive ads with no option to remove them via a paid version.
- Stability and loading issues: crashes on save and GIFs failing to load or display correctly.
- Usability/UI problems: not always clear, including a caption character limit.
- Permissions prompts that can block use (e.g., 'No permissions allowed' screens).
- Ad-focused workflow interruptions (ads gaining focus and resetting work).
