“It would be a five star app IF you were able to add it to your keyboard on samsung.

2★It would be a five star app IF you were able to add it to your keyboard on samsung. It doesn't appear as a keyboard in the phone's "manage keyboards" settings, yet iPhone users are able to add it to their keyboard. And there aren't any real settings in the app itself. I hate to say that it's inconvenient to switch over to the app to find a gif...wait for it to load into your text, and have to type out who you're sending it to....but it is. Make an update!

5★Okay, SO- Instead of getting the stickers when you tap on the option, when you enter what you're searching for, you now have to add "#stickers" to find the stickers. Explaining this to us when the app was updated would have been nice. The glitching others have complained about is easy enough to fix- reposition or resize the sticker, or add a few stickers, save it, then add the others. Still a FANTASTIC app. I couldn't find a replacement & I TRIED.

5★I disagree with the reviews that complain about having to sign up for something or requiring a keyboard to download a gif. I've never been required to sign up for anything in order to use this app. And I'm unfamiliar with the keyboard function someone wrote about, but there's no need to exit or copy/paste in order to use it where you want to. Just like any image you would want to download from a website or someone's page, hold the image and then choose save or share. Btw, ❤️ this app!

4★I like it very easy to navigate. I just wish that there was an option to delete a gif that you have made and uploaded to your account In the uploads but when you choose a gif and press the three dots I was very disappointed, that there was no option to delete. Surely it would be very easy to include that option, with an update
