Animation & Drawing by Do Ink

I really love this app, it’s my primary animation app now since frame-by-frame animation and tweening can both be done here. However, I would love it even more if the images and videos imported into drawings/frame-by-frame can be visible and color-pickable rather than just being invisible references. It would also be a great help if compositions can be exported with transparent backgrounds or if videos can be imported into compositions. Aside from that, this app is absolutely incredible and underrated. Loving the new dark mode, by the way! I wish you all good day and good luck with your future endeavors with this app. I’m looking forward to the new improvements if you consider my suggestions!

This is exclusively useless app. There is no editing way of layer and animation properly. I am very disappointed.

I’m writing this due to your most recent update. You claim to have fixed some bugs and issues, but in reality it caused more harm than good. When I opened the app I noticed a feature was missing, the arrow next to the backspace button is completely missing. Which means I won’t be able to reverse my decision on backspacing. And the second issue I’m dealing with is if I draw something on one frame, but make another frame then delete the previous frame it still stays making it rather difficult to draw and clean things up. Please fix this now!

I used this app for years but recently my redo button has just disappeared. I need to know if this has happened to multiple users and if so, how I fix it.

Since today’s update, app crashes when my students open the app. My iPad Mini 2 are old operating, but have worked fine until today. Please fix and update.

I have an animation I’ve been trying to export for some days now, & every time I try to export it, once the export is close to being done, the app crashes and closes. Please fix, I love the app, the crashing is the only problem.

I’ve been using this app for years, and unfortunately there has been some issues and wishes, the personal one I would like is exporting videos with clear backgrounds, if this isn’t a feature already, I’d love to see something like that implemented, another feature is audio while I animate. Very helpful, and as some other reviews have said, it would be helpful if the ‘inside’ pen option overlapped the whole drawing, not just one section. All of these ideas could really make this app better and life easier. Hope you’re able to read this.

I looked everywhere for an easy animation app – this is the best I’ve found. While there are some clunky aspects to the animation process, I find it easy to use and easy to work with. I use it to animate Bible stories for my YouTube channel.

Like if I wanna put in my drawings in composition I want there to be audio I could import :)

I really want to like this app. I DO like this app, but it's being held back from really making decent animation by one key thing: 1. Lack of audio import and scrubbing capabilities. Of course, there are other things that can be improved, like others have said, animation folders would be really useful, as would custom color palettes, proper layers for the composition editor, as well as maybe more options for the brush like smoothing lines since they're vector. Animation is already a labor-intensive activity and this app has already claimed to ease the process, so why make it even more difficult by not enabling audio or other basic features other apps already have? The main selling point is that it's a vector app, so while I can just use RoughAnimator or FlipaClip instead, they can't do half the things that this app can. I understand this is meant to be a simple app for learning and education, but truth be told, it already has features no other app has ever seemed to figure out, save for maybe Animation Pro, which IS meant to be a heavy duty app with a steep learning curve. Meanwhile, Do Ink's way of tweening is even BETTER and much easier to use than Animation Pro, and even Flash/Animate itself. They even added the ability to import video and ROTOSCOPING over it before adding audio; it just seems like such a large oversight. I honestly hope that if not now, it will at least be in the pipeline for future releases. Overall, this really could become a powerhouse animation app if the developers allow it to reach its full potential. As it is right now though, I can't help but be a bit disappointed, to say the least.
