Cinemagram has finally arrived on Android this week after living an idyll on iOS. It is a animated GIF maker app using the video camera your smartphone or phablet. It also behaves like social network being able to interact in different ways with your contacts, which you can import from Facebook, Twitter and between the contacts on your phone. Is very similar to Vine, with the only difference that this is already multiplatform and you will be able to exchange videos with your friends regardless of the platform they use.
Besides the opening of this app there are other aspects in which it surpasses Vine. First of all they can edit videos using filters to Instagram and, later, applying video editing effects very interesting. We can generate loops, adjust the speed, and use a mask. This last resort consists of using the first image of the video in a fixed way and then, where we pass the finger or brush, a window will be created to the rest of the video.
Once we have created our animated GIF or Filmmaking CAN decide to share it by Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr or by email. Of course, it will also be published on our profile, being accessible to our contacts and other users, since it has public access. With the rest of Movie theaters and with its users we can interact by following their channels, sharing the videos that we see that we like or simply indicating that we liked them.
This will also configure our home page that, together with the Explore section, helps us to view and learn about new videos.
The application is fine although it can still improve a bit in design, since the finish is not very fine. Some functionalities are also missing, such as sharing on WhatsApp, downloading your own GIFs and solving some bugs when sharing on Facebook.
For the rest, it is a highly recommended application, completely free and surely with a good future.
You can find Cinemagram at Google Play
