It's a very cool app, and is perfect for customizing my android, (since you can't just do gif widgets without an app.) I'm only giving it 3 stars because the gifs only run if you leave the app open. They will run for about a few seconds after you close the app, then randomly stop. It might just be me having the problem, but it is very annoying, as it consumes so much power to leave it open. However, everything about the app besides that is great. I recommend it for android users. It's awesome.

I keep getting a pop up since I upgraded my phone saying that the app stopped working. It's a bit annoying since it'll pop up randomly throughout the day. The app continues to work but it'll randomly stop and then continue. It could be my phone, Galaxy s23+, but I am not sure. I really like this app and would like for this issue to be fixed. It's still a good app, but with the issues, imo, it goes from 5 stars to 3 stars. Hope it gets fixed.

So, before I updated the app, it used to run perfectly fine. Now? All my gifs run at like 5 fps and it looks REALLY bad. No matter what I try to change in my settings, it runs really slowly. I'm gonna find a way to get a previous version.
