Animatic by Inkboard

I paid for this application and I like it, so why am I seeing advertisements as if it was free?

It's Perfect.... Perfect. So perfect🤩.

Its ok better than other low quality apps but its not worth paying For it doesn't have the basic things that it should have like the Lasso tool and even zoom-in its good if it was free bit if you put it to were you have to pay the app you at least have to have the basic tools please

Update: asks for too many unneeded and really intrusive permissions just for an animation application. I don’t feel secure using an app for animation that needs my location and email address and name. Seems more like data mining to me more than needed permissions just to animate. I think that this is a pretty decent animation application, well, for basic needs. I just wish that it offered a premium version through in-app purchase. Instead of this ridiculous monthly subscription nonsense. Paying monthly to animate is just wasteful in my opinion. It's annoying that so many developers believe that their program warrants a subscription plan today. When 9 and a half out of 10 times it most certainly does not in my opinion. To me, subscription plans make sense the most for applications/services such as Netflix, Hulu, Spotify and Amazon Prime Video. Using subscription plans for an app like this is just a way for developers to make continuous profit for basically the same and static content. With it never changing enough to warrant that subscription I don't believe. So, as I mentioned, if Animatic offered a one-time purchase for the full app with no reoccurring payment. Well, I think this program would easily deserve 5-stars. But, as it stands now, I think I'm being generous in giving it 4-stars considering the subscription plan. Especially considering the fact that there are animation programs available out there that offer more features and only require a one-time payment for all of the content offered in those apps. Still, though, this app does offer a lot for free. I just really wish that I could pay a single price for everything please, without the subscription. I'd pay a single price of like $5-$10 for this app honestly, if it meant no monthly fee forever. I would ask please and hope that this developer would ditch that unneeded payment model and just make the app premium like it should have been from the start in my opinion. Thanks if you'll consider doing that and God bless.

Horrible app, nothing works. Sometimes it will just repeat random frames when it exports that cover other ones so fo make my stop motion I had to take 130 screenshots and use lifelapse. Also sometimes onion skinning doesn’t work. And let me add that if you do something so minimal as delete a frame it decides it doesn’t like that and crashes. I also spent 2 hours redrawing one frame because it kept deleting it. This app is no where near close to worth $10, they should pay me to use it because of how mentally straining the bugs are, especially when it crashes when it feels like it. DO NOT BUY THIS APP Also I would like a refund.

This is exactly what I have been looking for in an animation app. As a beginner it has made animation very fun and accessible, thank you.

is there any support? the App support link doesn’t work. also, there’s a bad bug in here - when trying to do a simple animation the app keeps deleting multiple frames after trying to cut and paste them onto the end of the strip. why is this happening?? makes it IMPOSSIBLE to finish an animation! Is there some kind of frame limit here?? Please fix, thanks.

Great for beginners and pros! Easy and no bugs! It was worth the money! I recommend using it. Only thing is the colors it doesn’t come out the color it shows.BUT GREAT!

I don’t normally write reviews, but I had to for this app. Constantly crashes, even just by deleting a frame. Frames often times randomnly disappears, whichs means you’ll be losing at least an hour of work very often. Don’t bother making good animations on this app. It’s unusable, and you’ll probably lose your hard work. Save your money and look elsewhere. This app is utter garbage.

[SEE UPDATED REVIEW BELOW] This could be a fantastic app, and from what I’ve managed to bumble around and find out what it can do thus far is fairly impressive. The reason that I am giving it such a low rating is because of the utterly shocking lack of instructions on how to use the app ANYWHERE. And I’ve looked. And looked. And looked. No YouTube videos, no written instructions, no how-tos, nothing on the web. I’ve watched the videos included with the app and yeah, it’s great to watch a Disney animator do his thing, but he doesn’t really go into any specific explanations of how things work and why from a project setup standpoint. For instance, I’m setting up a new project. I imported a .png. The background is solid black, which defeats the entire purpose of having a .png with a transparent background. I want the background to be transparent, and I’ve wasted several hours trying to figure out a workaround as to why the background is solid black instead. This is just one of many instances where I’ve had to waste hours of my time trying to figure things out on my own, when some simple instructions could’ve showed me how to do this in :15 seconds or less. I could go on and on, but suffice it to say that with the potential greatness that this app could have had, I’m just in a state of disbelief that the developers failed to deliver (or simply overlooked) something as basic as a “101 Tutorial” to go along with it. My rating (since you asked over and over and over again): The app itself, 5-stars, Instructions on how to use the app - 0 Stars. * UPDATED REVIEW * After my initial review, the developers reached out to me and provided a link to some really great tutorials and instructions. You can find it in their response to me. This is exactly what I needed. My only wish is that I had it sooner as I wasted A LOT of time fumbling around trying to figure things out on my own. Other than that, I find it to be a near-perfect app, and find myself using it quite a bit.
