FAQ
Is RoughAnimator free?
RoughAnimator is not free (it costs 7.99), however it doesn't contain in-app purchases or subscriptions.
Is RoughAnimator legit?
🤔 The RoughAnimator app's quality is mixed. Some users are satisfied, while others report issues. Consider reading individual reviews for more context.
Not only is this app brilliant, it helps me a lot with my animations and overall output! It has features every other animation app does NOT have!
It’s an outstanding app with great animation features from being able to import audio into your project for lip syncing to timed durations for each and every single frame!
Not only the features but the customer support is really well organized. Jacob Kafka, who was the creator of this app replied and gave me tips to all and any questions I had and even helped me through the app! He even helped me fix a personal animation project of mine and for that I’m really grateful. I recommend you all get this animation app.
It’s definitely worth the price.
Perfect
Simple and everything I need for simple animation s with an iPad Pro and pencil
I can’t navigate it
I have used many animating apps as well as video editing tools, and I’m finding this incredibly frustrating. it’s not intuitive in anyway, and when I try to find something to help me navigate it, Im met with more frustration. I wish I hadn’t spent the eight dollars. If I can somehow figure out how to do what im trying to do, I’ll reevaluate my rating and review
I’m confused
Maybe I’m just dumb. But for the life of me, I cannot figure out how the heck to animate things on here can somebody like tell me?😭👋🏼
Great app but it missing more useful tools
Downloading a new bushes didn’t turn out soft what I wanted, it need clipping layers for shading so I don’t jade to erase every single of the outline it would help me finish my animation bit faster. I would also like if it have pixel brush it would be fun as the old days
Best Animation App For IPad
I’ve used rough animator for years. It’s the closest thing to industry standard for an iPad I can find. It also works on Mac. Easy to learn! If you have flipaclip, delete that trash app and buy rough animator immediately. The creator also updates the app! What it’s missing is probably a gradient tool or a blur tool to to give some different texture. Other than that it’s perfect and so much fun to use!
Pretty much unusable
First of all, there’s no tutorial, which is definitely needed cause the functions are confusing and features hidden away so you have to go look for them. Second, it lets you import videos and audios but it’s super laggy when you do that and ends up just crashing. A total waste of money. It also says IPhone friendly but that clearly is a lie and the developers don’t care about iPhone users.
Thanks
Because of your app 10 + hours worth of work is now deleted .
Glad your movie’s working out
too bad the rest are just sacrificial ‘users’
???
I used the Apple Pencil once and now I cannot use my fingers. Any answers?
Perfect, a little buggy.
This is by far the best animation app I’ve tried! Thoughtful settings and a professional clean design. However, it is very laggy. Let’s say I draw a circle. The lines will jitter and zig zag across the circle, so the inside looks like a spiderweb almost. This happens with anything I draw. The little wheel to scrub back and forth is very laggy and freezes.
