## Animation Desk® Ultimate Reviews in United States

### ***-- "It’s alright, but with serious issues"
Personally this is the second animation app I’ve used and I’m quite underwhelmed. Many of the tools I use don’t function in a way that I can quite get comfortable with. The pencil tool is fine, but the pen no matter what I do always fluctuates and is only smooth for a few seconds. 
Also all my work got deleted and replaced with one empty frame so I’m quite annoyed by that
Extra things:
I cannot understand the settings for the different brushes, like seriously it’s all gibberish to me
-- ShadowWorks, 2024-09-06

### ***-- "Buggy"
Getting a weird reflection. The frames are superimposed with a flipped image of one of the frames. Impossible to use.
-- ejanne, 2024-01-27

### *---- "It’s too glitchy to use"
More often than not I get a weird glitch where whatever layer I select mirrors itself. It makes animating impossible and the app unusable. What a shame, I was really looking forward to using it. I want a refund.
-- Dra21012, 2023-11-23

### ***-- "Animation Desk is glitchy"
After 400+ frames, my animation started to corrupt its later frames. At first, I thought it was only affecting newer frames, but not only is Animation Desk not letting me progress past Frame 447 without deleting the later frames, one of my other earlier frames had its Layer 1 replaced by Frame 447’s Layer 1.

Be careful of your animations
-- NerfYoshimon, 2022-11-18

### *---- "Really bad"
Do yourself a favor and just use Flipaclip. It’s software is actually competent and the premium upgrade for it costs half as much as this bad app.
-- DickPeckerson, 2022-06-24

### ***-- "Eh"
It’s a pretty good tool, but it fully deletes some of the frames sometimes, or replaces some frames with other frames from a completely different part.  You can not get the back after that happens and I am very traumatized.
-- Traderbass, 2022-04-15

### *---- "Wonderful design, corrupts animations after creation."
No matter how nice the software is to use, it seems to randomly corrupt layered animations.  Frames just seem to get swapped or go missing or even deleted without any warning.

No idea if it’s a data or interface issue, but it’s fatal for anything more than a toy.
-- Foolishfrost, 2022-04-03

### *---- "Don’t get ripped"
I wanted their best apps to review and compare against the field…didn’t notice the ultimaate till inside the already purchased apps…I sucked it up and went for the ultimate bundle and accident.y chose a 3pack instead of the 4…so another overpay and hours wasting time with an uncaring or poorly programmed support bot. Get adobe cc and any of a million apps free that will serve you better than this obvious plan to gradually trim your pockets sans added value of commensurate worth.
-- Inverted Heart, 2022-04-02

### *---- "Premium No Longer - HARD PASS"
This was previously a premium app that you could buy. Now, though, it’s chock full of in-app purchases and subscriptions. Literally zero difference from the free, standard version. Disgusting and shameful. 

There are tons of better premium animation apps available on the App Store - Folioscope, Animation Creator (the premium version), Flipaklip, etc.

I see no reason at all to rent this app and waste money every month on it,  when there are so many better options available for one single price each. To each their own but I refuse to rent my applications. Especially ones with so little changing and new content. Shameful.
-- Joshua D., 2022-03-15

### ***-- "Laggy and buggy"
It’s a slog to use and feels clunky. You’ll be drawing a line and have it take a split second for it to register. Flipping between panels isn’t all that great either, It keeps getting stuck between the first and second panel when trying to click on panel 1. A prompt keeps popping up to tell me something about my apple pencil and then disappears before I can even read whatever non-issue I have. It’s a serviceable animation application, honestly it’s probably the best one on IPad, but it is in serious need of patches and work before it would even be remotely worth $20.
-- Evameiz, 2022-01-21
