No sound
In space? That’s because space is a vacuum, and the lack of matter means that sound has no way to travel. Sound is actually vibrations, which reverberate through the air and other matter, and are then picked up by your ears. Without the matter to vibrate… no sound!
On the GIFs you’re downloading? That’s because the GIF format doesn’t support sound. It’s just an image format, not video (like movies, Vines and some Instagram posts). That’s why so many GIFs have captions added to them, so you can understand what people are shown as saying.
Sure, a few people have had some issues with the last couple of updates, and yeah, ok, there was some loss of GIFs involved, and SURE… Ant Man turned out to be a pretty average movie when compared to The Winter Soldier, but I mean, it’s not ALL bad, is it?
Anyway, my latest update definitely solves those first two problems, but look, you’re on your own with that last one. Two out of three ain’t bad, right? RIGHT?
Come one, come all, to the unveiling of this illustrious new version of GIFwrapped! The app has all of your favourite features, and has even learned a few new tricks, so why listen to me talk about that fact when you could be reading other, more detailed information about the tricks and their specifics?
The library has been rebuilt from the ground up, and features a host of improvements that help it stay in sync with Dropbox faster and better than it ever could. Plus, with new features like background downloads and the ability to sync your GIFs on-demand, it would be forgivable to ask the question, “Why the math wasn’t it always like this?”.
Well, because… uh… HEY! Look over there!
The version also introduces the first GIFwrapped action extension! Save GIFs straight to your library with a touch of the screen in a specific area that has the appropriate button on it, which you’d have previously switched on in the “More” section of the bottom row of icons in an action sheet. Hey presto, isn’t that grand?!
The search tab has also had a little makeover, and now has the addition of a dedicated button for using the contents of the clipboard to find GIFs! No more manual pasting into the search bar, you can simply tap a button and any text or URLs in your clipboard will be dropped in for you.
Settings has been moved out into the open from it’s hiding place inside the library, allowing super quick access to all the settings you could need. Also it has a new icon… and yeah, look, there’s not a lot to say about settings, but at least it’s a lot easier to find now? WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME
There are a whole slew of other tiny fixes, from an improved feedback screen to more useful shortcuts when you tap the tab bar buttons multiple times. This version of GIFwrapped is one of the best I’ve had the pleasure of releasing, and there’s even more to come.
When the big guy released my v1.1.1 update a month ago, he overlooked some massive issues like not being able to share from my Photos tab. This version (v1.1.2, which is rolling out as you read this probably) should hopefully fix that so we can all get on with our Very Important Tumblring™.
Here it comes, here comes version 1.1.1, straight into your hearts and also iPhones, I guess. I’ve had a few little fixes done here and there, so theoretically I should behave myself now.
HAHAHA let’s go on a bender and not tell the big guy. POST ALL THE GIFS
