If you have photoshop it's pretty easy. If you were looking for a free app, sorry, haha
Shoot photos as straight on as possible, contrasting background color is helpful. There is a setting on iphone where you can see a grid and crosshair in the center of the shot, I used this to shoot things dead on. I also tried to shoot my photos in the same location and time of day so the lighting was similar, but ended up photoshopping things a bit to help consistency.
Import photos into photoshop. Use "Object Selection Tool" to select, then mask out the background (this is where the contrasting background helps). Stack each photo as it's own layer in a single document, with the first image at the bottom in ascending order, and align them as closely as possible. Delete any unnecessary layers.
Then go to Window>Timeline. and in the window that pops up click "Create Frame Animation" There you should see each layer as a frame in the animation, where you can set the timings. Each frame can be set to 1 second, looping forever. Then go to File>Export>Save For Web. Save as a Gif (around 1000px wide is good). And that's it!
