GIF Keyboard 1.7.12
One of such applications is GIF Keyboard. It's packed with funny GIFs that you can edit and then share with your friends on Facebook, WhatsApp or Kik Messenger.
Intuitive UI with lots of features at hand
The app doesn't come with a tutorial or any kind of instructions, which is quite inconvenient considering that new users could always benefit from some guidance when launching a new app.
Still, you shouldn't really have trouble navigating inside this app, as it's rather straightforward with all tools at hand. The first thing that you should do after launching this app is to install Messenger, if you don't already have it on your device.
Once you've done that, you can start exploring the app for all sort of nice GIFs, that you can also edit. It doesn't use material design or a side menu, but you can quickly access its features by using the toolbar at the top of the screen.
Browse through all sort of nice GIFs
The home screen is filled with all sort of GIFs that you've recently used or the ones that you've favorited on the network. All GIFs are arranged into categories, that come with a hashtag in front of their name.
You can explore the network and check out GIFs on the fashion week, back to school, birthdays, fail, funny and many more. The search bar at the top of the screen allows users to search for various GIFs inside the app.
More features and tools
It comes with a section filled with trending GIFs and one with music. The app doesn't have a settings menu, which means that you won't be able to make any changes to the app's UI or features.
It would have been nice if users could adjust notifications, as they can get really annoying. Sharing with Facebook is quite easy, simply pick the GIF, add a caption, a group of friends and hit send. You can also save GIFs to your device, so you can check them out whenever you want.
However, sharing them with WhatsApp is a bit more complicated. You'll need to cut the video and be very patient until it completes the send process. Unfortunately, the file may be corrupted at times.

Design / UI8
The interface doesn't use material design or a side menu, but it does come with a toolbar that allows users to quickly access features. |
Function7
It has trouble when sharing GIFs on WhasApp, so be patient with this especially since the app is missing a settings menu. |

It only needs access to a few areas of your phone, which are connected to its features so you don't need to worry. |

As expected, consumption is quite high so keep an eye on resources when using this app as it may drain your battery. |

It doesn't come with any ads or in-app purchases, which is quite nice. |
