5SecondsApp - GIF Maker

Latest Review: (03-01-2026) With the latest version the quality of GIFs has gone down quite a lot i think. Not sure what has happened but it’s very disappointing I think. I’ve used this app since it first released abcs have always appreciated and loved it a lot. But there are new changes I’m not a fan in the interface and just like I mentioned, the quality of the rendered GIFs seeming to be worse really stinks. I hope the developer would please just revert the app to how it used to be. It was so much better in the past in my opinion. Thanks if you’ll look into that please. iPad Pro 13 inch 2025 (M5) Updated Review: I still find this GIF creation tool to just be the very best of the best available on the App store. I have never come across another app that even rivals the top quality on display here in my opinion. I have also found the developer of this app to be very kind, helpful and super attentive in regards to maintaining this brilliant application. Oh and, I also really would like to thank Eric for adding the "Yo-Yo" effect/feature that I requested, it is very much appreciated, works wonderfully and I am just very grateful for its inclusion into the app. Unfortunately, though, with the past two or three updates I have noticed some new, not so nice, issues with this application. One of those things is that app in my use now has a tendency to crash quite a bit. This crash can take place when I am performing various actions in the application or it even sometimes occurs when I first start the app up. I always clear out my temporary memory before I start to use this program, by killing all apps in the background (which I highly advise that users do regardless of what app you are currently using). Also, the render times, app startup and just the app in general feels a lot more sluggish to me. Not sure why that is, of course, but just wanted to mention that as well. Oh and, I am using 5Seconds on an iPad 4 running iOS 8.1.1. So, I still feel that this great application deserves the five stars that I have always given it, my original review is a good indication of why. But, I just felt that it was important to alert the developer to these bugs that I was experiencing. I have found that the dev., Eric, is always hard at work improving this already superb app and exterminating any bugs that pop up. And the frequency of meaningful updates to the app is quite often. So, even though the app is misbehaving for me, I still highly recommend it and feel confident that the developer will get everything sorted out on the technical side, in due time. Thanks again, Eric, for your continued support and dedication to this application and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. God bless and thanks. Original Review: I am very happy with these two most recent updates to this application. Honestly, though, I do not think that I have ever been disappointed with an update from this top-notch developer. I really appreciate the new red outlined popup notifications of progress in the app. I also really like the new Password Protection feature that was added, thank you. In regards to that feature, I especially appreciate the fact that you can enter characters besides just numbers when creating your password and also that it cannot be recovered if you forget it. Because, in my opinion, that makes this feature that much more safe and gives the user the satisfaction of knowing that it cannot be undone through any outside servers or any other means. Others features that I am grateful for, well, not features per se, but the fact that many former bugs have now been squashed, thank you. I did notice one new bug/glitch, though. It pertains to when I make duplicates of my Gifs in the application. I haven't used the app since this most recent update and I know "Bug, UI fixes" were listed in this most recent changelog. So, this may have been addressed already. But, when I first went to make a duplicate the app crashed. My duplicate was there when I returned to the app after that, though. The second time that I tried to create a Gif duplicate, it appeared for a second then dissapeared. Luckily the app did not crash again. But I just repeated the duplicate action again and it worked fine and stayed there after that. So, hopefully this has been corrected in the most recent update, but, if not I just wanted to make the developer aware of this issue. Thank you for all of your hard work and continued support and maintenance of this wonderful Gif creating application. Thanks again and God bless. iPad 4, iOS 7.1.2

I’ve made dozens of gifs. Never crashed and easy to use.

atleast it isnt "free trial" only!
