RoughAnimator - animation app

RoughAnimator is not just an animation app, it’s also a thing that let’s you make concept art! 1. Drawing some character designs 2. Save the project as an image 3. Save to files 4. Find the file and save it to your device

As an animator, this app has everything you need and nothing you don’t. All the tools and features are places that make sense, like a previous reviewer said, nothing gets in your way. Everything this app has just makes frame by frame animation simple and seamless. I’ve tried a lot of animation programs, both free and paid, including Procreate Dreams, and I have always preferred this one. (I used Procreate Dreams, about 4x the price, ONCE and went back to rough animator haha) For the price it’s a massive steal!!!! and if you animate on your iPad, it would be a mistake NOT to use rough animator. I can’t stress enough how pain free and easy it is use. I especially love the flip wheel feature as I do often like to flip through my frames. Thank you Jacob Kafka! I will definitely be buying for Windows as well! Note - if you are looking for vector / editing features this is not that, this is a frame by frame app done perfectly.

It’s a simple app but works so well, I use it almost every day for 2D animated doodles. Absolutely perfect for beginner 2D animators and intermediate animators, and animators generally!

Rough animator is great and I totally recommend it for frame to frame based animations. I use it a lot and have never crashed it or lost any work. I used it on two award winning music videos as you can easily add sound/music. It’s brilliant, real easy to learn, very well designed and laid out- its one of those apps that I can’t believe it’s so cheap. I am not affiliated with the developers/makers, I bought my copy like everyone else so this is a genuine review. I’m very happy with the possibilities that this app brings. Thank you Rough Animaror- 10 out of 10 A+

I love this app it’s meant I can actually animate for my TikTok on the go. It’s missing one or two things like - dragging keyframes around or grouping layers, copying frames, and soloing layers. But really other than that it works so so well.

I personally love RoughAnimator, but there are a few features I’d love to see: 1) A Colour Gradient tool 2) Control over Camera/Cycle easing (For example, Fast in-Slow out, Slow in-Fast out, or just no easing at all) 3) Layer Modes, like in Procreate and Flipaclip (Multiply, Darken, Overlay, Screen, etc) 4) A Text tool. I hate importing text by copying an image, it ruins the quality. You’ve mad a great app, but adding these features would make it even better! Thanks!

Is a good and strong app but I wish it had more powerful painting functions, such as the ability to blend colours or adjust the hue of the image, the ability to mask and paint in the selected area :D

Great app, easy to understand, easy to animate things, and unlike flippaflip doesn’t force you to have a watermark and let’s you copy and paste. It also has no micro transactions, my only gripe is that you need a pencil of sorts to use.

Hi! Best animation app I’ve found for an IPad. It has so many great features and definitely deserves 5 stars. However, when using the lasso tool, I’ve found that the button (or whatever it is) too small, meaning it often takes a few tried to be able to drag it to a new position. Also, it would be helpful if you could export each individual frame as an image, and be able to remove the background of an animation (although maybe it’s just me who needs that). But these are just suggestions, and overall, amazing!
