Can share GIF and short video of iOS input method directly

Riffsy's story is this: Earlier, they released an app that lets users make their own GIF emoticons, and then, with Apple releasing iOS 8, which could install other input methods this September, they thought: "Rub, simply put the previous saved GIF library to make an input method got!"

Thus, a direct share of GIF and short video of the iOS input method was born. The input method announced 6 months after the release of 3.5 million U.S. dollars in financing, the Agency for the Red Dot venture. John Riccitiello and initial capital were also involved in the round.

Now people chat online more and more time, how vivid in the 01 World simulation and restore the frequency screen before the user rich (rustic) more (kinky) color (dang) of the expression became a problem. The GIF picture is clearly more expressive than emoji. But the question is how to make it easier to find the right gif, and how to use these GIF emoticons in all social applications. Riffsy the answer with the input method.

Riffsy has a large user-created GIF image Library, users can directly in the input method search for a huge amount of classified dynamic expression, and then directly in the text messages, IMessage, Twitter and e-mail to send and share. If the GIF is not enough, Riffsy also has a short video with sound effects, imagine, when you want to express the feeling of incomparable pleasure, a section of Pommeron singing "In this smooth ground friction, friction, like the devil's pace" of short video to replace the expression is not to force much!

In addition, Riffsy also provides the ability to save various GIF images. Whether in micro-blogging, Facebook or soup on the site to see their favorite GIF emoticons, short-sighted frequency, Riffsy can allow users a key to the collection, save to input method, so that there is no need to worry about the existence of micro-letter on the map on other platforms can not be used.

What if you can't find what you want in a massive expression library? Don't forget that Riffsy is a do-it-yourself moving map application, and the matching Riffsy creator app lets you easily cut out the short video and motion pictures you want.

David McIntosh, founder and CEO of Riffsy, said in an interview with VentureBeat that sharing maps and short videos on various internet platforms was actually inconvenient, and Riffsy wanted to reduce the cost of sharing. In fact, they did, and after the Riffsy input method was published, the average user sent 5 to 6 maps a day, which was only 3 to 4 a week before.

Riffsy in the form of input method, directly from the root to solve the problem of sharing the short video and motion picture on different platforms. Today's social platforms are more and more, each platform has a own expression library, for users, the use of a certain split feeling, such as on the QQ saved the dynamic expression to the micro-blog and changed a set. Riffsy all dynamic expressions are unified managed into the input method, so that dynamic expression has a cross-platform characteristics.

But what if it's on a different device? In fact, this is also a future development direction of Riffsy, that is, through the cloud storage, so that users directly to the expression hosted on the cloud, in order to achieve the characteristics of equipment across. Simply put, Riffsy want to do is to use the form of input method to create personalized GIF expression management tools.

Riffsy reminds us of a very interesting fact, the input method is the expression of the tool, the use of the frequency is very high, if you can use the input method, filling in the user has the needs of things, may also be a good entrepreneurial direction.
