The Animator’s Survival Kit

This is a great app of an amazing and inspirational book, please update it and don't let it die with ios 11

I have the book and this app is a BIG PLUS! A must have for any animator

Now after an update it’s working and I’m a lot happier it helps to see the animations!

It took some getting used to at first but it's a good mix of video and reading material. Sounds kind of obvious but make sure you take silent mode off of your iPad to listen to the audio.

08/22/2021. Update: This app has been updated recently, so I repurchased it. All seems to be working good now on a M1 iPad Pro . Note that the iPad purchase price of $34.99 US, does not work on the new Mac M1 computers, looks like you would have to pay for it again on the M1 Macs for it to work. DO NOT BUY! As of 10/07/2020 Does not load after the intro animation, the skip button does not work, does not go beyond a black screen! Tried restarting iPad Pro, deleting app and reloading, but nothing pass the intro animation of the books cover. Will be requesting a refund from Apple, because this app does not work as advertised. It’s unfortunate that Apple knows about this, and other apps that don’t work, but still allow them to be sold to customers, wasting our time and money, because sometimes they don’t give back refunds. Richard Willams would be extremely disappointed that this has happened to his work after his passing.

The book is excellent. The app used to be, but it’s now unusable, at least on iOS14. Update: the latest update fixed the crashes, and it’s back to being invaluable. Thank you for updating the app!

This app was a great reference when I was in school. Now none of the videos play making the app almost useless. This is a travesty that Richard Williams great work has been left to the hands of amateurs. I think I speak for all animators when I say ‘Fix it’ please this is not rocket science here. You are denying future generations access to this masterpiece.

The star I gave it is for the opening animation. It’s the only thing I can judge, because it’s the only thing that worked. Upon further reflection, I might deduct this star for the insulting sexism of the Jessica Rabbit bit in the animation, but at least it worked. Nothing happens after the intro. Buy the book.

Keeps freezing on the intro. Running on a 2020 iPad pro

Total crash failure. Last update 3 years ago. They do not care about their customers. Do. It waste your money on this or them.
