User Reviews

The Burst App is praised for its simplicity and one-tap GIF/video creation with file-size previews, but user feedback highlights significant reliability and privacy pain points. Repeated issues include a broken permission flow that demands all photos and stalls progression, frequent bugs/crashes and looping behavior, and inconsistent burst handling (loading failures for some bursts/older bursts). Overall, it shows strong concept and usability, but reliability and privacy flow need fixes to achieve broader appeal.

Pros

Very easy to use and straightforward UI.
Turns burst photos into a GIF with one tap.
Offers GIF and video outputs with a file size preview before saving.
Strong concept with a neat, intuitive design.

Cons

Broken permission flow: asks for access to all photos, loops between options, and blocks progress.
Frequent bugs and crashes, including crashes when creating GIFs and loops that prevent use.
Inconsistent handling of bursts: some bursts won’t load or older bursts aren’t supported.
Limited ability to import bursts or external images (missing or unclear import capability).

Recent reviews

Straightforward app that does exactly as promised. Very easy to use. Turned my burst photos into a GIF with one tap. Thanks!

It’s a bit hard for one person to use, turning ian object, while manipulating the camera button is impossible, a little timer to let you get set up would be helpful. It’s a cool app nonetheless
