Review summary

Users broadly find GifStar fun, easy to use, and capable of producing funny, convincing face swaps with a large GIF library and strong social appeal. However, reliability problems—spinning/loading, GIF selection glitches, and onboarding history losses—undercut the experience. Pricing is a frequent complaint, with many preferring a one-time purchase over a subscription. Performance can be slow and inconsistent across devices. Overall, great concept with solid appeal, but reliability and pricing need improvement.

Pros

Fun and hilarious results that users enjoy sharing
Easy to use with a large library of GIFs
Faces swap results look convincing/accurate
Strong social appeal and addictive to use
High praise from some users calling it the best GIF app

Cons

Subscription pricing is a turn-off; many want a one-time purchase
Reliability issues: app can spin, fail to load, or not complete
Onboarding and GIF selection problems (can't pick GIFs, onboarding gets stuck)
Interface can feel slow or laggy at times
Device-related history issues (history forgotten after switching phones)

2025-05-17	DB*****	The app seems to work pretty well on a majority of gifs..and they have a lot. The interface is a little slow, but when you figure it out it isn’t a problem. I cancelled after trial period, not because I didn’t like it (contrary to that), I just could not justify $8 a week for a joke thing. $20 one time or like $2 a month would be fair in my opinion.
