Coub
Coub is an app that features GIFs, but the GIFs that you select and send to other people have sounds. Most are also animated. You can use the mobile app to make videos with other sites or to make a video with several GIFs together that you can share in an email or share on a social media page.

Each Coub that you choose is in HD format with sounds and music sticking with the original material that it's retrieved from, such as a movie or realistic noise. The resolution of the GIFs is impeccable for a mobile app. Colors are bold and brilliant. The sounds associated with the GIFs are also of a high quality. However, keep in mind that the clips are rather short, so you're only going to get a snippet of a song, sound or noise that you want to hear. You can turn the Coubs in any direction when you send them, such as horizontally or vertically, instead of only sending them in a general format. There are a few themes available, such as movies and television shows, making your selections rather interesting depending on what kind of GIF you want to send. Most of the time, you can find some kind of theme that you're interested in by entering a keyword or two. The app allows you to make a theme yourself if you don't see what you want.
