Giflay is all about simplicity. It automatically grabs all of the GIFs from your photo library and presents them in a large scrollable grid. GIFs can be imported from your computer over Wi-Fi as well. You’re able to play GIFs, zoom in, and view them frame-by-frame. Your GIFs can also be gathered into albums and passcode protected. The app also includes eight color themes, the ability to open GIFs in other apps, and the ability to share GIFs.

Start the creation process by choosing one of the 29 built-in themes. You can then add your own photos, music, text, and voice-overs. You’re also able to choose from the 14 built-in music themes in case nothing in your library meshes with your presentation. You can then adjust the playback speed before previewing your presentation. Your final projects can be shared via email, Facebook, or YouTube.

At first glance, Universal Zoom may not look like much. But once you dig in you won’t be able to stop exploring. The app includes more than 200 objects that are presented in high-resolution and completely to scale. Simply swipe in any direction to move through the objects and see how they compare in size to the rest. The scale ranges from Planck Length to 93 billion light years, so there’s a lot to see. You’re also able to choose objects and compare them directly against others.
