Great app to practice your animation on the go.

Gabriel Harlequin on

Great App to learn animation, also on the go. No need for any other app. Best you can get for this price. The pencils are not at the level of procreate, but the app is one of the user friendly apps there is. So no need to waste time in trying to figure out other stuff, while you are trying to understand animation.

Love this app + feedback

First off, this is a really great app for 2D animation, easy to use and it feels very intiuitive. I would love to see a project folder or stack system. Would also be great with a quick preview option.

Good but still need improvements.

It’s the best out there that I know about. Still there is space for improvement. When making a new frame it would be nice to have it put where you are in the timeline. The looping feature is hard to understand when you try to repeat it and how it works on the timeline when you have different layers. When in full mode you should still have the frame forward/backward in the UI. Turn sound on and off feature on the Sound layer. Would also be nice to select what region to play. And the UI could need a upgrade to maybe dark mode.

Perfect

Simple and everything I need for simple animation s with an iPad Pro and pencil

I can’t navigate it

topDJinSeattle on

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’
