Fleksy

When it comes to GIF messaging apps, Fleksy remains one of the best. While the keyboard can leave something to be desired (it really likes to autocorrect), the GIF selection is phenomenal. Use the handy search function to hunt down the GIF you’re looking for. Stickers and even cards will also pop up in the mix; but don’t worry, they are carefully contained within their own categories. Choose the GIF you need, send it to a friend, and voila! Done!
