* Increased frame limit to 60, that is double what we used to have! Also you can take pics as fast as 30 frames per second (might be lower on older devices), and you can speed up your gifs to 30 frames per second. Make some HD gifs and tell @gifboom!
* Fixed a bug where GIF speed is slowed down when using Looping mode.
* Other bug fixes.
* Also, if you're posting to tumblr, please be aware that tumblr does not allow uploading big gifs. So if you see a static image on tumblr after sharing, please try reducing number of frames. Or ask Tumblr to give us a bigger limit!

Version 3.0 (Apr 22, 2012)
GifBoom 3.0 Is Here! Faster, Prettier and Better. If you liked GifBoom, you'll love it now! We have revamped our Look and Feel, added tons of new features and made it smaller and faster.
★ New look & feel
We have improved our graphics to a streamlined, modern look, with the same ease of use
you have experienced before so you will not feel strange but will feel more pleased to use GifBoom.
★ Import GIFs
Do you have some GIFs saved on your computer or your website? For the first time you are able to
import them directly into GifBoom! Simply send/save/sync them to your Camera Roll and we will do the rest.
★ Add Text to Your GIFs
Now you can add free text to your GIFs. You can choose different types of fonts, sizes,
colors and you can scale, rotate and move them as freely as you want. It's simple but powerful.
★ Real time Filters & Frames
We completely revamped our filters and frames. Finally you have some best
effects available to pimp up your GIFs. Better than that, all these filters are real time so you don't have to wait to
see how they look.
★ Flip your GIFs
Besides rotate left and right, we added flipping as well so you can make sure your GIFs look
right.
★ See who liked your GIFs
A long time asked feature, we finally enable you to see all likers for your GIFs. Not
only that, we also automatically show the first five likers on a GIF. Think about that as a special award to your most
enthusiastic fans. We hope the feature is worth the wait but you can tell us if it is or not.
★ See the original GIF on reboomed GIFs
Have you ever wanted to see what the original GIF is when you see a
reboomed GIF in your feed? Now when you view the reboomed gif, there is a small snippet from the original GIF and you
can tap the original author's name or see exactly how many likes/comments the original has got. Tapping on that you will
be able to view the original as well. Talk about giving the original creator some credit he/she deserves!
★ See more than 100 followers/followings etc.
Before you can only see up to 100 followers/followings. Now we
have infinite scroll so you can take a look at them all. Never miss one person behind!
★ Onion Skins
We improved our onion skins in the Manual mode. It's more precise than ever.
★ Edit Username
Lots of users wanted to change their username but had to email us. It took a couple of hours but
admittedly a long process in GifBoom. So we made it available that you can change it yourself in "Edit Profile"
section.
★ New Icon
Last but not least, we gave our icon a slight artistic touch. We hope you enjoy it as much as the
app itself!
★ Speed
We also made the app much faster and snappier than before. More than that, your GIFs will automatically
be saved to GIF Gallery before publishing so you can always view them later on your phone.
Thank you for your awesome support. We'll unleash even more exciting things soon.
