There seems to be a new trend in creating animated GIFs and sharing them with friends. However, it is much of a hassle to create one and apps like Gifture make the process much easier with a simple to use system.
Gifture strongly resembles Instagram in terms of app design and layout. For instance, there is a quick camera access button located in the middle of a band that also contains tabs to other features just like in Instagram.
To make an animated GIF short using Gifture, simple hit the middle button and record what you will like a regular video and the app will do the rest for you. You are also given a free reign over extra features such as the applying of lens filters and whatnot through the in-app console which makes the whole process a breeze.
However, Gifture requires users to link either their Facebook or Twitter accounts to work, though this can be done with a few simple and fuss free taps.
For a free app, Gifture is something that I would definitely recommend you to get. With its ease of use, it is a foolproof way to create that trendy animated short to share with your friends and family.
