It's fun and easy for everybody from kids to grandparents to tell your story frame by frame, featuring your favorite toys. Turn the time spent with your children into a great creative experience and wow friends and family at your opening night.

iStopMotion is also used in hundreds of classrooms all over the world in all disciplines, honing creativity, problem-solving and communication skills in students of all ages.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS

Camera Overlay – Overlay the current live camera image with the previous one and see the changes unfold before your eyes. Animate more quickly and with a higher degree of accuracy.

Instant Playback – Being able to play back your work at any time without a long wait leads to instant gratification.

Beautiful Timeline and Navigator – Never get lost and quickly navigate through your movie, even if there are hundreds of frames.

Import or Record Audio – Easily animate to a prerecorded sound track like the pros or dub your movie after shooting. A waveform view helps you recognize significant events in the sound track making it easy to match sound with the animation.

Theater – Be inspired by what other people create with iStopMotion or share your own masterpiece with the world.

Flip Book Printing – Create a PDF that contains the key frames of your animation to print out and assemble into a nice flip book to show off to your friends and family.

## iStopMotion Reviews in United States

### ***-- "Share sheet glitch"
Since updating to iOS 26, after sharing via airdrop to an unknown device or via email, the app’s UI shifts upwards, requiring a total restart of the app to reset. We depend on this app for our curriculum, and this had made it difficult to use. Not sure if updates are still being made, but we would appreciate this being looked at!
-- CCM Exh, 2026-05-18

### *---- "No longer works"
App crashes to the desktop, no longer works with current iPadOS.
-- pffft......, 2025-11-10

### *---- "Please refund"
Does not allow taking stop motion videos in portrait mode. This should be a no-brainer feature but the app actually prevents you from doing this and always defaults to landscape view even when rotating the phone. Very bare bones app with poorly designed UI/UX. Not worth $10 👎
-- meat2323, 2024-08-30

### *---- "External Camera Has Flipped Image"
I connected an external camera for a stop motion project, but the image was flipped. There is no way to have the image flipped the right way....like how you see the world. Instead, everything is a mirror image... Say you want a image like this ⍃ but when you take the picture, you instead get an image like this ⍄

Another example, you want this ⬅️ but you get this ➡️

Fix this! The develepors need to look at using an external camera!
-- Camera Image Is Flipped, 2024-02-09

### ***-- "Still a good app, but v4.0 won’t run on an iPad running OS 12"
I purchased this program quite a few years ago, and v4.0 appears to run just fine on an iPhone running iOS 14 as well as an iPhone 6 on iOS 12.5.1. However, I have an older iPad that also can’t upgrade beyond OS 12.5.2 and it is unusable on that device. The app crashes on the iPad whenever I attempt to open a clip.
-- aj_denver, 2021-04-05

### ***-- "I can’t look over my videos"
When I bought the app, I was very happy. Everything was fine! Then, after my 4 video, when I try to re watch the video, it will stop the frame and delete the work.
-- consto465, 2021-02-18

### *---- "Was great - Now not usable"
This app used to be great I used to use it all the time now it crashes whenever I try to use it.
-- Gftgj8(876, 2020-05-11

### *---- "I'm going to be blunt..."
- no undo/redo options!
- you cannot reorganize frames
- drag and drop is useless, only function is to delete, which already exists as a button
- cannot add new frames between frames
- forces you to work linearly!
- in app playback sometimes flickers, must render to video for accurate playback
- not student friendly, doesn't let you correct mistakes

Not worth your money. This software feels unfinished. Get Stop Motion Studio Pro instead which is a complete software for less with all of the essential features this one shamelessly leaves out.
-- $EVERE, 2019-03-28

### *---- "Failed rendering"
The video on the foto library is doesnt exist every I render it.
-- Harry Haryono, 2019-03-23

### *---- "Multiple Crashes"
Spent over $30 purchasing Mac and IPad versions after recommendations from design professionals. Was highly disappointed that after hours work the program started crashing on both the iPad and the Mac. 

To make it worse, I spent a great deal of time setting up a studio with props, lighting, camera’s and like. Attempted to re download app after app stopped working all together...in the mean time I lost all of the work that I had done. After reopening continued to crash without even getting to home screen.

Very displeased with the product being that I spent so much on it. 

I would like to know how to request a refund as nothing came out of the downloads at all and I am going to have to take the products off my computer and iPad all together to avoid it ruining my computer.
