No, don’t worry, we are not going to introduce you another short clip making app, there’s already enough to choose from.

Rwnd is a simple yet fun new app founded by Australian Andrew Cunningham. While named Rwnd, the app does not simply play videos in reverse. Instead, the app allows users to take a short four-second video, upload the video to the app and watch it play in its own unique style- first forwards, then in reverse, then forwards and so on. It’s like having your own personal gif that you can also upload onto your other social media accounts or save into your phone.

The moment you enter the app, it instantly begins to give you ideas of the kinds of videos you can make based on trending hashtags. #icebucket interestingly is still on the list, along with #dsmoke (people breathing in smoke instead of out) and even #carcrash.

As people’s attention spans seem to be shorter nowadays, the idea of Rwnd is to keep the video short – four secounds -and users could replay their videos anywhere and anytime they want. Once you make the video, you have the option of sharing it on your social media accounts such as Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, and Vine. You can follow your favourite accounts, keep track at the trending loops, and get the latest videos. The Rwnd website has a sneak peak of their best videos if you’re curious.
