## RoughAnimator Reviews in Australia

### ***** "Helps me improve"
This really helps me improve in my animation would 100% recommend
-- $peedRunner, 2024-02-12

### ***** "The best!!!"
This is the best app ever! You may have to pay for it and take a little while to figure it out but it is totally worth it!
-- Windbiter, 2023-09-03

### ***** "Best app for animation on iPad ever!"
This app is just what I needed! It has all the tools I need and more. There are just a few things that could be added to make it better. Overall, this app is amazing
-- honey fluff, 2023-07-20

### ****- "Very good and easy. Cant seem to draw pixel art, brush blurs"
App is very good like the easy of use on iPad. Wanted to zoom in and do like pixel art but it blurs the brush. Not sure how to unblur or if it’s even an option. Otherwise great app will keep using!
-- Vandog101, 2023-06-20

### ****- "Could be Five"
Incredible software. 4/5 Stars. Though if there was a confirmation check when you hit the “Delete Drawing” bubble, that would save from many mistakes, and would warrant a 5/5 Star review.
-- MicosTheMusician, 2023-01-30

### ****- "Quite buggy"
Everything is good apart from the bugs it has where it says some squared are set as white even if you colour than in but overall I love this app
-- rthraditrbgdgh, 2022-02-02

### ***** "Amazing!! Great for iPad"
just started using this app yesterday. it has all the needs, onion skin, layers, camera, and audio scrubbing. So far its a very great animation app!! One thing i really like is the transformation tool and how precise it is. if you accidentally animated a bit off centre, you can still move all your frames back to the middle precisely, and moving it doesnt lower the resolution of the drawing like other apps. The only issues i have is that it lacks overlay layers that are great for shading (such as multiply or add, but i guess i can workaround that by porting the finished animation into CPS and adding shading from there).... and that theres no dark mode 😂 other than that, this is a very good app!! and thank you dear friend corey for gifting me this app DAWG
-- flounks, 2022-01-15

### ***-- "pretty good! just one thing"
this app is probably the most professional animation app I’ve found so far, but I’m bummed you cannot use your mic to record audios, or import audio from your camera roll. that would make this app an instant five stars for me.
-- Sonic flash girle, 2020-06-19

### ***** "Great... But Audio"
Big oofs
-- ObliviousOrca, 2020-05-17

### ***** "Everything you need!"
I’ve come back to hand-drawn animation after a long absence and this app really brings the joy.

I used to work with pencil on a paper. If you’ve worked in that medium or with 2D software on the desktop, you’ll feel right at home with this app.

Unlike other iPad animation apps I’ve used, this one enables you to plan your shot by easily allowing you to choose the duration of the drawing on the timeline. You can also change the order of the drawings as you like.

The branding could perhaps use some polish, but apart from that this is the app to go for.
-- Zarusoba Koala, 2020-05-03

### ****- "Really good app!"
I really enjoy using RoughAnimator. As someone who cannot access desktop programs, I really appreciate the effort that has been put into this app. A few little issues but overall really good. Thanks!
-- ohheyitsjustme, 2020-04-11

### ****- "Incredibly useful app"
I’ve enjoyed using this app it is one of the best on the AppStore,

BUT

Some improvements could be if a camera feature was implemented, I know it’s hard, but please try. I also wish we had the ability to move drawings outside the white box to allow for things to come into frame with use of the cycle tool, or this can be done by simply making the box larger but the camera being a small portion of the box.
-- Saviour Nerlock, 2020-03-12

### ***** "Great for 2d animation"
This is a great app. I hope it will further develop with more features in the future.
-- charbou91, 2020-01-21

### ***** "It’s the most helpful animation tool on the App Store"
Being able to use infinite layers with separate timings help a lot! The tools it gives are all great! The only thing that would make this better would be to add a select tool like photoshops wand!
-- Itscyblock636, 2019-11-27

### ****- "Please add more brushes"
This animation app is pretty limited on brushes, I’d also dislike the fact that when you rotate a picture it adds a pixelated texture. 

But it’s a good app in total
-- Ughelliman, 2019-10-14

### *---- "Definitely not worth the money"
There are far better ones for free
-- klfem kom, 2019-09-01

### ***** "Fantastic"
The only missing feature is some simple camera functions ,other then that ,what can you want more for this price point.
Good for student and professional alike it changed the way I work more than I can express with this short review.
In this universe of giant software companies this is how software should be 
Way to go!!!
-- Lestoescarpa65, 2019-06-07

### ****- "Massive potential"
I love this app. It’s the best animation app out there for mobile devices, hands down. The developer is constantly making it better without making it more complex and it seems they are listening to feedback and implementing. I would like to be able to insert drawings BEFORE the selected frame. At the moment I can’t figure out an easy way to add drawings at the head of the x sheet. Keep working on this app, it’s amazing. No issues with paying upfront, it was worth it.
-- Joshua S Freeman, 2019-03-31

### *---- "Annoyed"
Tried to import a song and it crashed
-- Live life1234, 2019-02-16

### ***** "Okey..."
This is the best animation app on the App Store but, can ya fix the bucket tool? It leaves white lines that are as clear as day.
-- himespringtrap, 2019-01-25
