REALLY Annoying to use. When I first downloaded this app as someone who just wanted to make simple flip a clip animations for free time, I thought this game was okay. It had most if not all of the basics of what I need to draw, and the options and buttons to select stuff weren't all over the place. But as I played with this app a little further, it began to crash way too much and would make me lose a lot of my work. Sometimes, many of the frames would replace eachother for no reason and would overwrite a lot of the animation. After exiting an animation, the drawings get a little blurred out, which is irritating to work with with I'm trying to make accurate stuff. And this app doesn't let you use shapes for free; they only give you pens and markers. If the crashing were fixed and they added shapes, maybe I would rate this for more then two stars. Edit: The computer version is a lot better, but you can send mobile animations to computer but not vice versa?

This is the best animation app you will find!. I have found many great animation apps, including FlipaClip, sticknodes, this one, and even more. After all that, Animation Desk is, and has always been-in my opinion-the best one out there, and the easiest to use. Thank you to the creators of this app. I might get Animation Desk ultimate one day. Though this is one of the best animation apps there is, I have a few suggestions; sometimes I want to loop one part of an animation, so I copy the frames, but each copy goes after the original frame. I would really like the copied frames to go to the end of the animation. This would make it much easier to do that function. Another thing that isn’t necessarily a drawback, but would be a nice addition would be a v-cam. One final suggestion would be to make all the animations arranged as thumbnails, and you could be able to scroll up and down, to find things more easily. Thank you for reading my suggestions, and I hope you consider adding them. All in all, this app is awesome, and I really recommend it. Sincerely, a really happy animator.

Some REALLY helpful updates that can really improve Animation Desk:. I thought of some really helpful updates that would really help the drawing community. The first one is the pen. The pen which draws a circular line is to small at max size, and should be bigger at max size. Its hard to draw stick figures with such a small pen, and it would be amazing if it could be bigger. Also, the majority of animators who animate with this application animate on an iPad Pro, like me, and drawing with one hand on the screen and an Apple Pencil on it at the same time interrupts the drawing that were drawing. I think their should be a setting to make it so that the screen doesn’t sense my hand but only the Apple Pencil. Many other applications already have this and it would be great if this did to. Stabilizer: If you’ve ever used Paint Tools Sai, you know what I’m talking about. In Paint Tools Sai, they have an option called the stabilizer which makes lines more smooth by giving what your drawing a delay to make the drawing more curvier. In Animation Desk, my circles always turn out straight and not round. A circle looks lie 7 lines put together and if Animation Desk hade a stabilizer tool, that would be AMAZING! I really hope you read this, because it took me a long time to type, and if you did, please please please add these things to Animation desk in the next update! Thanks! 🙂

It’s an okay app PLEASE READ THE EDIT. this was the first app i used for animating and it’s a pretty good app but i have a few suggestions. 1. maybe try to make an option to import a video background. when i was working on an animation the background was no longer there and i couldn’t import it back. i had to start it all over again. 2. can you make it so that we can zoom in more. that’s really all the things that you need to fix. but overall its an amazing app and i would recommend it to beginners :) (edit) Hello i would just like to ask if you can update the app soon as i said before my background got deleted and it has happened again when i was at least 80 frames in (all that took about 2+ months btw) and i would like to get it back so i won’t have to start it again for the 3-4 time :)

Kept deleting frames. I really loved this app, and used it as my primary place to animate for a while. Granted when I wanted polished drawings a would draw them on a different app and just move them over, but either way I liked it a lot and it was a solid workspace. However a bug arose where I had a set amount of frames that I would be moving through and tweaking. Suddenly one of my frames would double, and delete another one in the process. It would leave me with the same number of frames as before, except two were the same. I would delete one and be left with less frames. It did this at random and made my working more stressful as I knew I was losing random frames the more I worked on a file. I ended up deleting the app. I might download it again and see if the bug re-appears, because I really do like this app and I haven’t found another one I’m happy with. Please look into whatever’s caused this bug or how to fix it. Thank you!

Where’s the eraser HELP!!. Everything is nice I like that it’s not over burdened with too many brushes, they always intimidate me, however I CANT FIND THE ERASER FOR THE LIFE OF ME,,, I have used other animation and drawing apps so maybe this ones a bit different. I also remember seeing it mention the tutorial/where it showed all the brushes and gadgets, but I guess I didn’t look hard enough? Anyway if I could get some help finding it or maybe I’m wrong and there is no eraser I would very much appreciate one, thanks keep up the good work everyone! Fighting! (Edit haha I found it my bad I have an iPod I didn’t relize I needed to scroll to find it haha well if anyone has this issue I hope this review helps? Just scroll down XD) great app

Could be better. Ok so it has potential however it does not cover the basics. 1st: The canvas!! I can’t stress this enough but how you have it set up does not work. I find it too small and the when you zoom in it is nearly impossible to move, and it is clearly not meant for details. You also can’t rotate the canvas which I personally like to do when I draw. 2nd: You don’t have a nice fine liner. This is a basic thing. You have a pencil like thing with texture, you have a brush which has an uneven flow to it, you have the calligraphy pen looking tool which can be used as a fine liner however you can not make it very big, and then you have the chisel thing which can be funky, none of these are very good for outline and other things. You need a flat and versatile marker which can be big and small. 3rd: This is the last problem I have found with it. On smaller screens some do the controls are too small to press easily. It is more of an inconvenience then anything however. Hope this helps.

Fantastic animation tool. I’m a professional artist that’s always wanted to get into animation, and I’d highly suggest this app to anyone looking to do any level of animating. It’s easily the best animation app I’ve found for iPad Pro. My only problems are superficial ones. Seems like I have to click back and forth to make the smallest changes. If you want to change layers, you have to click a couple menu buttons back, then click back over to the colors section, then click over to the brush section to adjust size, etc. If you’re used to a program like procreate, this will take a bit of adjusting, because the way it’s set up, everything is kinda all over the place. I look at this app like I’m trying to animate on a messy desk where I spend time trying to find my things - as opposed to an app like procreate where everything is just right there in front of you. Having said that, this app is so much fun. If you’re looking to scratch the itch of animating on your iPad, look no further. Thanks for such a cool app!

good app but audio aspect is frustrating. [this review is for the iPad app, single device subscription] Convenient to be able to upload images from device as frames, so you can draw your frames in another app (like Fresco) and import them to put together in animation desk. However, adding usable audio has some glaring issues. Having to upload audio thru iTunes is an unnecessary chore, especially when the file isn’t music. It’s also extremely frustrating that the iTunes upload menu within the animation desk app has no search feature or playlist options - you have to scroll thru your ENTIRE library of songs (I have a LOT) to find the file. If you remove the one you have and need to import it again, gotta repeat that scrolling. It’s also frustrating not to have access to the audio while scrubbing thru frames for lip syncing to be able to add or remove frames as needed. Instead, it opens an export window when you go to add sound. This will let you see how the audio pairs w the video, but it won’t let you adjust frames in that window. If you don’t have enough frames already in your project, the audio will be cut off and you have to reupload the file - adding extra frames after the fact does not fix the issue. Being able to easily upload non-iTunes audio files and then scrub thru and edit frames with audible sound without having to exit to an export screen would make things a lot easier, especially for animating over voice acting.

Good, but could be better. I agree with all the top reviews, I just have to complain about the glitches. When you do even a simple pen stroke it automatically saves. Even if you exit the app randomly, the drawing or animation saves. Sometimes for no reason at all, it decides your hours of work should get randomly deleted. It’s some weird bug. I’ll be drawing and it randomly crashes and the animation is gone, not even a frame saved. Other times, it won’t let me zoom out, and I have to pray it saves and am forced to exit the app and go back in. These are detrimental bugs/glitches that make or break it being an amazing beginners animating software, basically my only complaint. Other than that, extremely easy and simple to use, with amazing animations that can come from it.

great app, but can be frustrating due to a certain bug.. Watch out! There’s a serious bug in which when you duplicate frames, theres the possibility of those frames duplicating over other frames, deleting them from existence. There is also one where sometimes if you cut a drawing and try to paste it, it will say its saving and to not exit, when you go in to paste it will then show it as if you never copied it,essentially erasing your drawing. these two bugs are detrimental to the overall experience of this app. I’ve deleted this app many times throughout the months out of frustration over these two bugs. This is a great app, the communication from the developers are very communicative, which shows their genuine care for the community, and never once have they been overly intrusive on their users. I really hope they read this review and fix it in later times. This is a great app for people trying to learn to animate, but it can be improved. I think the best way to start is fixing this main bug.

Hah! This is a disgrace!. Developer(s), Hello. Your game has completely ripped me off. This is my first time animating anything, and I’m so disappointed it had to be this app. I’m just learning the ropes, of course, so my animations are not perfect, but your game is definitely not satisfactory. I can only make three scenes, unless I PAY. I cannot add subtitles or sound unless I PAY. This is what I’ve feared. Another ‘pay-to-play’ app. And even worse, it’s an animating app; one of my dream jobs. I think you have possibly crushed my dreams with this app. My first animation was a dump. Thanks. Maybe I should just become an author when I grow up, instead, so I don’t have to deal with crappy animation games. I’m so very sorry if you took this personally, but PLEASE don’t make pay-to-play games. My mother won’t allow me to get Procreate because it costs money, and I’m sure that app is much, much better than this rip-off. Please do not take this personally, just please try to make an animating game that DOESN’T crush the dreams of an aspiring animator by making her pay for every little thing. Thank you, Catelyn the Warrior Cats Fan

Amazing!!!. I loooooove this app! I love how you can still use a lot of helpful tools on the free version! A few thing I recommend to make this app even better, though, are: -able to undo a mistake you made on a frame after you leave that frame. It is annoying sometimes when I have to delete a frame because I left the paint can tool on and I accidentally paint something and then I go to fix another frame and I can’t undo the mistake. -automatic line fix. It would be lovely if, say, I tried to draw a circle, but it comes out sloppy. It would be soooo easy and less hectic if it just automatically fixed and became a circle. It could be added to the settings? -no hand. It would be nice if there was a tool in settings so when I placed my hand on the screen (except for zoom) it didn’t make and marks. -back to zoom... more zoom. The zoom only goes up to 500% but sometimes I need to zoom more than that!!! -screen turn. It would be nice if I could turn the screen without having to turn my device. Other than those things I would add, ten out of ten would recommend, especially for new animators like me!

Things Always Change.... Hey, I just wanted to say that I remember 2 years ago I was still a crappy animator, and a furry, that wasn’t good at animating until I got this app, it was a great thing! But as soon as I starting drifting away things changed, in a good and bad way... There are now multiple brush options which I do enjoy... but there are now things I find annoying (or always have.) the 500 zoom isn’t that good.. I wish we could rotate the frame around so if your doing a upside down picture or animation, you can turn it 180° degrees so you can draw it. Just a suggestion.... Now there’s only 2 frames (not including the background) that you can animate with. Maybe it’s just for the phone version but I found this annoying.. and so far those are my only complaints.. thank you and good day. P.S. Thanks for adding the paint bucket to the phone version!

Not good for actual projects. I need to be able to merge layers and change settings on brushes to get things done really. I spent 30 minutes on a frame that could’ve been done in 5 because the bucket is a million worlds of broken and had to very carefully fill in a detailed area. I don’t have enough layers and can’t merge them to get more so I have to do 5-10 layers of work on 4 without the ability to make more room. I also can’t zoom in far enough to work on small detailing and things of the sort. It would take the help of multiple other apps to get anything done on here. It’s got some really good potential I think if some of the smaller details were added or changed up a bit it would be really useful for me and my colleagues. It’s really easy to navigate and would be good for beginners and all that. But it needs some work. I feel like after a few bug fixes and updates, it will probably be one of the best animation apps I can use on mobile.

A good app but just one kind of big issue.... This is the first animation app I have ever used to make cartoons and its good but there is one problem that is kinda big camera panning with all the cartoons I have made they all seem kind of lifeless with how stiff the camera is like in cartoons like on TV the camera can move like when a character moves the back ground moves with them like even when there is a fight the camera shifts you know what I am talking about? But with this app I can’t seem to get the background to move and with the cartoon I’m planing to make if I cant figure that out I may have to switch apps but I have seen you can do that from looking at the cartoon in the tutorial on animated story boards and the horse cartoon they show but there is nothing I can do to find a guide on the internet so if someone can clear that up it would be a HUGE help.

A Frame of a Bug. Hi. I just wanna say you’re app is AMAZING and I always use it for my animation. But it could use some adjustments. Usually when you complete one frame and move on to the next, it usually shows a faded but clearly visible image of the last frame so you know what to draw next. But when I made one frame and moved on to the next, there was no image of the last frame at all. So let’s say there was a white background and I’m animating a Pikachu walking. I finished one frame, but then when I go to the next one, there is just a white background and no faded image of Pikachu what so ever. This bug really gets me and I’m hoping you could fix it, because I’m getting tired of having to delete the app when it happens and then re-download it and do it over and over. So can you please fix that? Sincerely, Animator Luke.

Could be a lot better. Alright, first of all, the video in the App Store is misleading. It doesn’t show what the app actually looks like. Also, it is hard to find everything. I have yet to see the option to insert text. I apologize if it IS in there and I just can’t find it, but if it isn’t that needs to be fixed. It’s annoying having to write in my terrible handwriting in my animations. Another thing I dislike is the fact that you can only have three layers. Three! I can’t get anything done with only three layers, and I’m not about to pay money for them, even if there are other things included in the subscription. Maybe a limit of at least five would be better? If the developer(s) are reading this, I apologize for complaining. But I would really enjoy the things I talked about to be added/fixed. Thank you!

Good but I deleted. The app is pretty good for animations, the tutorial was useful and it is nice and easy to understand all the different things you can do. However, I had just got the app and I was trying out the different things, and I made a few frames of a snake, then I pressed the undo button a few times and the whole frame that I was working on got deleted. I don’t really know what happened here, but if in the future I am making a lot more important animation or something, I don’t really want to always worry that this will happen.. again I don’t what deleted it, but I’m just gonna try a different app. Other than that though, this is a pretty good app for animating, and if they fix this bug, I will definitely download it and try it again ^-^

Honestly, it needs improving but i love it. So first of all, it's not fair that you cannot make more than 3 sequences. It's always asking you, "Get infinite sequences" or someting along the lines of that, it gets really anoyying having to delete my animations and export them to my photo library so I can make more. Second, it is laggy. Whenever I copy and paste, it lags a lot. And it gets to be annoying because then I have to duplicate the frames and erase the parts I don't want. Third here it comes...the offer again, the brush types! Oh we have to be pro...I MEAN this is also annoying because I want other types of brushes TOO and the fact you have to be pro is just so inaccurate. I am sorry if I am offending you, I love this game, these are just my opinions. Bye bye! -your friend ( I am using a 10.3.4 IOS update thing but I need a new iPad for it to update, also a two year old I also don't know the model but I think it's an Apple iPad)

Disappointingly awful.. After reading all the comments I decided this would be a great way for me to get into animation. Once I actually got started I got the hang of it pretty fast but it was very clunky and slow. Which isn’t really surprising and wasn’t a huge deal to me just as long as it got the job done. Well after spending three hours working on a short animation towards the end something randomly glitched and corrupted every single frame erasing a large portion of it. This ruined the whole Animation and I just immediately gave up. I’m pretty sure this doesn’t have anything to do with an actual function in the app itself that I accidentally miss used and I know it’s not my iPad considering it’s a new iPad Pro and procreate runs just fine. I’m letting future users know that if you’re looking for reliability this is not the place to go. Honestly there aren’t really any good animation apps available right now so your best bet is pc. I hope this is a good warning to those looking to download this app.

Procreate instead!!. If you’r looking and app just for fun and practice the basic principles of animation, this may be the app for you. On the other hand, if you are serious about learning drawing and enhance your animation skills, this is definitely not the app for you. After two years using this app, came across serious frustration. The poor brushes offered with bold tick doesn’t allow you to create a smooth sketches. Palm rejection need to be enhanced, every time you touch the screen either skip the frame or increase the tick of your pen. The limited interface waste your valuable time and steal your creativity. It’s also buggy, randomly mixed the frames of your animation. You can go from frame 1, 2 and 3 to 3, 1 and 2 and so on. It force you to maintain a track of each and every frame and frame specific order. I have reported this issues severely times and supporting team bring no corrections. Here’s one good advise, try procreate instead. You won’t regret it!!!

App is okay, but the bugs aren’t. I’ve been using animation deck for a hot minute now and it’s… okay, I guess. It’s nothing revolutionary, but it does get the job done. It also doesn’t so blatantly heckle you about getting premium like flipaclip or other popular animation studios do, so that’s definitely something it has over its competitors. However, the reviews aren’t lying. This app has a HUGE issue with deleting frames and it’s horrible for learning. It normally deletes the newer frames near the end, so it’s typically not the really important frames you need to worry about, but it’s not viable for making small animations (because the majority of the frames will go bye) and it’s not good for large animation projects like thesis films or feature length films, because the time lost working on the missing frames will make it completely unworth it. It’s hard to tell what target audience they’re trying to market to, when it’s both beginners and intermediate level animators that get held at the sword. They need to fix the app before I can feel comfortable coming back and animating, because I’m tired of losing the progress I made the night before.

Pls fix this. The glitches in this app when I was selecting my drawing to move it it kept deleting my selection and I got so mad and irritated like I’m tryna make an animation and when I don’t need the selections any more I can’t find a way how to uniquip the selection I try so many like clicking on the brushes so I can select another one instead of that one but no matter how hard I tried IT KEPT DELETING EVERYTHING this is staying a 2 star until you FIX it edit: it is me again and by this what I mean is that one of your tools ya know the selection tool that you guys have and I understood that you didn’t understand me because I was bad at explaining but so anyways when I was using your guys selection tool it wouldn’t let me move my drawing and I tried so many way to make my drawing move but it just end up deleting my drawing when I use your guy’s selection tool let me now if you need more information just let me know with another developer response but I think this is enough information just let me know if you are going to fix your selection because meanwhile I will continue working on flip a clip until you fix this

Needs some adjustments. This app is very useful, when I first purchased it (for free) I was excited, then the app tried to show me how to use it which wasn’t exactly very helpful. It is very hard (at least for me) to use it because when I try to draw something I forget how to use it at times and I think..what do I do? It’s not like I have any problems remembering! I wish it was less complicated, but once I got the hang of things (kinda) it was a little easier to use (kinda) nowadays I don’t use it often I think I will delete this app. This app is useful and I would recommend it if you love to draw and it’s something your good at. You can make it a movie ish.. and that’s where it gets fun! I love to draw and it’s so fun also challenging, but I am a horrible drawer..so for me it’s stressful to use this app! Please just try and see how you like this app you never know! It could be a hoppy someday or even more! And I only rate it three star cause I wish it was easier to use and I’m horrible at drawing which makes using it boring and gives me a heart attack not that it will give you one I’m just saying...

Great for beginners but has one main issue... One of the reasons that I love this app is because it is so easy to use! I had never animated a thing in my life before I got this app. It had great reviews, so I got it. There are only a few features you have to pay for. The app works perfectly fine without paying anything too though. There are some glitches when it is saving and has kicked me out several times, losing my work. This isn’t a very big issue because most of the time, I am just playing around with the features. For people that wish to use this every day or for big projects, I suggest another app. Don’t get me wrong though, this is a great app and I recommend it to all beginners.

Not Bad. It isn’t bad. I like that the Apple Pencil 2 is integrated. It sometimes doesn’t register the pencil input when I make a stroke. So I have to make multiple strokes. I don’t know if that’s app or pen related. Also the onion skinning is still rather dark. I wish there was a way to lighten it a little more—I can barely see the drawings I’m making on the overlay. I’m drawing using the paint brush cus the line quality is nicer. However I am limited to size 12 as the smallest. I’d like to go even thinner if I could. The video is also exporting in low quality. The lines I drew look twice as blurry on the video output. Not sharp at all. The only way around this is to use my phone to record the video playing back on my iPad. Pretty ghetto though. Anyway, it’s an okay app. I’d rather buy the app and have these robust features included than have to subscribe and pay monthly since I’m a casual user.

Good for learning the ropes, BUT way too glitchy. I’ve encountered multiple issues while working on an animation. I’ve spent over a month working on an animation, and given that it’s my very first one, I’m extremely frustrated. I will only be talking about the most recent major problems I’ve had. Earlier today I was working on my animation and it was perfectly fine. These problems occurred after a couple of hours. First of all, while I was working on adding to each of my frames, the background for one of my frames became the background for all of my frames. I was nearly finished with the line art for all of my frames when this happened. This is incredibly frustrating because I was using the background as references for the character movements, and originally each of the backgrounds were the person in different positions. Secondly, soon after, I saw that the line art for all of my frames became a previous version. What I mean by this is that I spent the last week or so darkening all of my line art, but the current version is how the line art looked before it was darkened and before I added heads to the person I was animating. The last week or two of my work are now gone. I have also filed a ticket through the app and hope to receive a response soon. I have been working on this animation since December 22nd. It is now February 2nd. I have put countless hours into this and have gotten too far to see it go to waste.

Horrible. Not recommended if you want to make actual animations.. My first complaint about the app is that you have to pay for everything. More than one storyboard, over 3/4 of brushes, ect. There are little packs you can try out for 3 days at a time, but I don’t want to have to change my brush set if i’m trying to create an animation for days or weeks at a time. The only thing close to a blend brush is a watercolor kit, which i’m not patient enough for.. the kid is called the patient artist kit. Literally just give me a blend brush and i’d be more happy. Also, you can’t upload audio. It’s so hard to line up dialogue by eyeballing it and adding it with an editor afterwards. Other than the fact you need to pay to even have a pleasurable experience, there aren’t any bugs that i could complain about. Other than the zoom in function being wonky (you needing to put both your hands on the frame in a very specific way and needing to try multiple times to get it right), there aren’t any bugs and the app runs smoothly. I just wish this app wasn’t just a method for quick cash and actually worked as a flexible option for beginning animators and experienced animators alike. If you want something better go look up Flipaclip, it’s way better overall.

AMAZING. So I just got this app, bought the subscription, and it is AMAZING. Tysm developers for making this!! I did notice one thing, though. You can’t add text to the videos and leave it there. The second you touch anything else, poof. It’s gone. This is really annoying, but I just write it. It’s annoying to have to write, but this is still a really good app! 😊 I found another thing, too. It’s SO hard to save the videos to your photos on your device. Not to the app, to your device. Saving to the app literally takes nothing. You just exit your video and it saves. You just can’t save it to your photos. This is really annoying because I have to screen record, then crop, then I can save it. Other than those 2 things, this app is really spectacular!Btw I know everyone thinks the reviews are made by AIs/robots, but just to let you know, I’m not an AI. AIs are programmed to make no mistakes in grammar or anything. Just to show I’m human:kusydbfkvhysbrkufyvgliysdhfgulyerbflivyherfliy

Pretty good!. This app is pretty great! All though, I’ve only been using the app for a few days and have not discovered every feature about this app. I’m not sure if there are any tools such as a ruler, a circle maker, and maybe a cut-out. Maybe I am just not looking hard enough. (That’s probably the case.) But yes, I do recommend this app to anybody. Maybe even starters. I do recommend this app over FlipaClip. In FlipaClip, you can’t really draw straight lines. So basically everything just looks rough. Congrats to the developer(s) who made such a great functional app! You did so good! But, I do feel like this may be confusing to some people just by reading the reviews. Also, I’m glad you are commenting back to others in need of help. I was wondering if maybe you could tell me we’re the tools are if there are any. If you see this comment and respond, thank you for reading this. Once agin I do recommend this app. Please do download this if you are into animating and drawing. Thank you!

Not very good. For a while I’ve been looking for a nice 2D animation software for iOS and this isn’t the one for me. A big problem I have is the fact that turning is kind of weird, often one of my fingers is outside of the box and I create lines instead. Also whenever I push undo theres a 50/50 chance it will or will not work and is very frustrating. The lack some basic features is pretty irritating for me also, like the fact that there isn't a stabilizer tool as far as I know. There are also tons of small things in the app that annoy me like when you play your current project and end the playback, it brings you to the last frame you watched during playback and when I turn most of the time a line appears for example. Overall I dislike this app due to what I’ve listed, it’s too finicky and doesn’t certain basic art features, maybe given some time and maybe my opinion may improve but for now, not very good.

Good, but could be better. So I love this app. It’s useful for making tiktoks, and just fun animations. But there are some things that I think could be better. For one, I think you should be able to zoom in more. It’s so hard trying to color inside of the lines (I have really shaky hands so that doesn’t help). Also I think you should be able to make the pens/brushes bigger. It would make it easier to color in backgrounds. Third, I think that you should make a tracer, so you can not worry about filling in the blanks (which is a struggle for me). Lastly, I think instead of having to tap the color button and then tap the select color button (the one with the drop icon I don’t know what it’s called) I think you should be able to just hold the screen, and then boom. The brush turns to that color.

Very Buggy. I like this app a lot, but I am very deterred from purchasing any upgrades because the base app loses frames, layers, and is very inconsistent in exporting sequences. I use the iPad Pro 2018, so I know my hardware is capable of far more complex operations than exporting 100 frames of lineart into a video. If the weird bugs were to be gone completely, I would probably give this app 4 or even 5 stars (the learning curve is high but it’s a very capable free app), but with the time I’ve lost redrawing simple frames and losing layers/toolbars (the left toolbar started disappearing and I can’t bring it back, even closing the app. It might come back on a hard restart but it shouldn’t be an issue in the first place), the effort to make even a simple animation warns me that trying anything more detailed will cost me far more time. I will update my review if the stability issues are resolved, but as it stands I cannot recommend this app for anyone besides those learning the fundamentals.

A little laggy but so far I love it. Honestly I Love it’s really fun and cute I love how it’s really calming to look at the only problem I have is that it is pretty laggy, I recently just saw that 3 days ago you guys had fixed the problem but in my case after literally after a minute the app would stop and freeze and I try to push random buttons but it would still be frozen. Other then that I do have a few suggestions I would definitely give this app 5 stars because I love how the canvas is small and cute it honestly makes me want to animate with big canvases it’s really stressful for me because it makes me feel like I have to add more to the Animation. But On This App I feel very comfortable and very chill when it comes to this app but the suggestions that I have is * stabilization* It would be grate to have a stabilization pen or tool so we can have more of clean lines as I do have shaky hands it would definitely be very helpful to have. *Vector* and last is vector it helps whenever I want to scale my drawing big or small without loosing any Resolution (won’t get blurry) every time I change the size of my drawing. Other then that I really love this app if these things get fixed and if my suggestions actually go into planning this will be total Five star!!!

Disappointing. The app seemed very promising at first but it really is just a let down. Note that I've only tested it on the iPhone and was surprised to see how well it is rated given how bad it was. The number of frames is only adjustable upon the creation of a project which makes it annoying since you probably won't know in advance how many you'll need. All of the import functions (expect for video) are broken which ruins it for me since I won't be able to import my art. Using it pulls up an empty menu which doesn't nothing at all. The stylus support is also glitchy and will crash the app. The button assignments will not apply your changes either although there's only 2 options. There are annoying ads in the home view. Overall, it feels that this is a poor port of the iPad version which could be convenient for those who use both device but just isn't usable at all. I won't be buying the $20 version to see if it is any different. I cannot trust this product based on my experience with it.

Great! Best thing ever. Can’t use it though zoom tool needs redesign. The zoom tool should be an on screen button you press and hold to drag around, and then when a second input hits the canvas the zoom/scroll/rotation begins. Instead of how it is now, where you need to press and hold two canvas inputs within a very tight window of time. If your too slow the zoom/scroll/rotation doesn’t happen and instead the tool starts sketching between the two input locations. The floating draggable button idea I mentioned above is the best way to fix this problem as it would not require the user to adjust the way they hold they’re device (needing to use the index and middle fingers) but instead would allow for the zoom/scroll/rotation process to be done with your thumb and stylus. Plus it would solve the (having to get your timing perfect) problem which starts that sketching between two spots glitch/feature I’d much prefer to use my phone for animation then getting a laptop with blender on it. so please contact me if you have questions! Im willing to put time and energy into optimizing what you guys have here

It’s not great, but it’s not horrible.. I’m not a fan of this app, it is very difficult to use, and it’s not very good quality. I’m not very happy that most features (circle tool, layers, ect) are hidden behind a paywall. I believe that this is a fairly decent animation app for someone who is just getting into animation, but it can be very frustrating to use at times. It’s not particularly good quality, but I do appreciate that it does have the necessities to create something great. My other issues are how laggy the app is, it is ungodly laggy and I have also been having issues with the laso tool, I'm not sure if that’s a glitch or not. It’s not horrible, but it’s not that good either. I honestly do hope that it improves with time and ages like a fine wine, This is still a fairly new app and there is likely only a small team working on this. I hope that this helps you improve the app.

Change it back. I really liked this app a lot until the most recent update as of writing this, they moved all the buttons around in a way that I think is inferior the the previous layout and added s scroll thing that shows you all the frames on the bottom that takes up way to much of the screen. You used to be able to draw on the whole screen and could make the toolbars disappear if you needed to draw something there, but now you can only draw on a small section of the screen in the middle which really bothers me, this is somewhat remedied by being able to zoom in. Furthermore the interface is almost unrecognizable and I am having trouble finding all the tools again and instead things that I don’t need in my face while animating are taking front and center, for example the share button is now always in the upper right corner. You used to have to upload from the home screen which I thought was fine as you would be done by the time you did that, I am sure I will feel better as I get more used to it but if anyone knows if there are some settings I could change to make it go back to the way it was please tell me.

Great app, but lose the glitches. I have been using this app for a while, and the tools available from the start (without the pro version) are enough to create some decent looking art. The app does also offer optional layering for your animations, which will also enhance your drawing’s appearance. As a final pro for the app, it does pretty well tracking your finger and other makeshift pens, if you do not have pen device available for use and lag is rarely a problem. However, there are a handful of major problems with the app that should be looked at. First example, you may experience a bug that causes a section of drawing to be completely erased for no particular reason, and when the user tries to reverse the bug (with the back button) it does not work. This is a rare occasion, however it is still a major problem I have come across. To expand on the back button, I don’t understand why the button only offers a certain amount of times you may go back when it is pressed. This is a problem, because when you have a background already drawn, and you run out of back button uses, you have to erase the portion you don’t want. But, along with the erasing of the unwanted portion, it will erase the background portion as well. Please adress these problems, because I love to use this app.

It’s not bad..... I’ve been using this app for a while now, and overall, I think it’s pretty good. It’s not an app for professionals, (which I am not,) but still gives you a wide variety of tools to work with. The screen isn’t always responsive though, which makes it difficult to draw a single frame. When I draw, I have my pencil, (or whatever drawing utensil I’m using,) in a sideways position, to where the side of the graphite is pressing down against the paper instead of the tip. However, when I use this app, the screen doesn’t always react to the side of the pen when it is pressed down against it, and it just makes digital drawing quite frustrating. I know you get a lot of 1-star reviews from little kids who rage on you because they’re just mad that they can’t draw, but I’m not trying to be one of those people. Actually, everything negative said in this review isn’t really even your fault. I just wanted to let you know the problems I was having. If there is any way you might be able to fix this please do. Thanks! :)

Liked it until it deleted 150 frames.. I was recently trying to do an experiment with animating on this app. For a while, things were going pretty well. My animation wasn’t more that a bunch of pink dots on a white background so progress went fast. I’m sure this isn’t the main purpose of the app but it actually came out quite cool. Over the course of about two hours, it made it to almost 185 frames. I was just about to stop when suddenly I noticed a bug. One of the frames got switched out with a frame further down. I thought that I would just delete that frame and recreate the old one. Then, the app crashed and nearly the entire thing vanished. I’m glad that I’m not like one of those guys who’ve been working on this for days but I wasn’t necessarily pleased with this to say the least. I’m not sure what caused that to happen but I believe that either it’s a problem with the app, like many of the other glitches I’ve discovered or if it’s something else. If you can, can you please try to fix this. I’m not the only one who’s run into this problem and it the app would be much better if you put some effort into fixing it.

Love the app.. BUT.... Every time I go to watch one of my animations I have to go through and delete a ton of randomly out of place frames that seem to just jumble themselves up every time I start drawing new frames. This is super frustrating especially when I go to show somebody my work and any smooth transitions between frames are interrupted by some random out of place frame. And then when I delete them I’m not sure if they just make duplicates of themselves and then just jump to a random spot in my animation or if I’m actually having to delete frames that I worked on. Please fix this because it’s honestly ruining this app for me as it happens so frequently and is such a drastic time consuming problem that I have to fix every single time I want to watch my scene from beginning to end.

Love this app, have some suggestions. I love, love, loovvveee this app! It’s the best app for animation in my opinion but I have a couple suggestions. The tools offered are great! I just wish there was a brush that was completely smooth and did not shrink if I move it fast and a normal opacity. I also would like some spray paints for shading. There has been this glitch that keeps happening to me when almost every time I zoom in, a dot appears and it’s a little annoying because I have to hit the undo button. This glitch just started recently and I would love if it was fixed. Anyway, thanks again for this app its really helpful and easy to use! Keep it up! :) Edit: ok I will let you know if it continues! Thanks have a good day! :)

Good! But..... So far I love this app! It works just as it should, except for some reason on my iPad Air 2 I have a different version from what is shown in the AppStore. I’m not sure if this is because of the version of my iPad is old or what but it’s a bit disappointing. I think it would be so helpful to have a setting to sketch and have the ability to copy and paste it on a different piece of paper so that I can create my animated characters without having to redraw it all. This also would be easier to do if I was able to flip my drawings, like the eyes so that I don’t have to draw the eyes two different ways while trying to keep it all even which I struggle with. It occasionally lags but it’s the least of my concerns at this point. I would love it if you would take into consideration my ideas and help out us character animators.

Great fun until it deleted hours if work. Initially I was very happy with this app until after spending multiple days and dozens of hours on one animation, the app froze and when I reopened it, hundreds of frames were just missing without explanation. As you know, if you’ve spent any time animating, it is a very slow and tedious process so to have this happen after hours of work is totally unacceptable. Why would I ever commit to another project again knowing that at any moment all my hard work could just vanish? There are multiple other bugs too, that make this app annoying to deal with and obvious that it never should have been released yet, but the fact that hundreds of frames can just vanish from a project should be reason enough for any serious animator to want to steer clear of this app. I reached out to the company about this issue and wanted to give them a chance to explain before I wrote a review but their response, which came a week later was very dismissive and for some reason assumed I was using an old outdated version of the app, when I was in fact using this, their most updated version which I har only downloaded a couple of weeks ago. I very much regret downloading the app and especially laying for the annual subscription. Totally useless.

Wonderful app! +advice on the UI. This app is probably the best animation app I’ve ever used! It’s super easy to figure out the controls, and the few pens it has are precisely what I need for what I’m doing. The difference between frames and layers is genius! When I use firealpaca, I often confuse my final layers for my sketch layers, but Animation Desk is like totally different art pieces overplayed instead of just sheets of paper. My only critique is on the user interface. The buttons and tools are really easy to find, but it’s a bit difficult to draw. Another app I have, IbisPaint, lets you zoom in to pixel by pixel levels and lets you rotate the canvas just by touching it. Overall, the zoom precision and rotating canvas are what keeps me drawing on IbisPaint. Another bit of advice is to add a way to undo/redo using your fingers instead of finding the undo button and then the place you were drawing again. IbisPaint used two finger and three finger taps to undo and redo, respectively. I don’t mean to say that you should make your animation app like a different drawing app, but the UI for IbisPaint is so smooth and clean, it’s hard not to take notes. Even the greatest artists reference other art to make theirs better. I hope my review was helpful!! Ari

Frustrating. Every decision in this app is designed to get you to spend money and frustrate the user so they look at tutorials. Developers have to make money. And users want to make sure they aren’t wasting their money. Professional apps that deserve to cost a lot should have reasonably impressive trial periods so that users can decide if the app is worth it. Limitations can be set up so the user can discover the cool things that paying for the app would bring. This app does a terrible job of conveying every little thing and doesn’t focus on the core experience but rather shows you all the tertiary things that don’t make for a compelling app. I was happy with something I animated and was looking to export it but when I went to my projects it was blank. I lost 3 seconds of animation I was proud of and I still have no idea what went wrong. There was no save button I missed or warning when I went back to the home screen. The basics of this app aren’t here.

Best App for Tablet/Mobile. Of all the animation apps I have tried, Animation desk is hands down my favorite. The interface is user friendly, especially for beginners, there are layers and a pretty solid set of brushes. You can get more out of this app than most other apps. My only complaints are that 1) the fill tool has a very high tolerance. If there is even a tiny little gap in your lineart, the fill tool will fill up the entire canvas. 2) (this is an important one) you can’t add sound, at least, not while you are working on animating. This is really crucial to many animations and it would be the only reason not to download this app. I hope the devs add sound capabilities to Animation Desk so that people don’t have to consider that as a setback. Please consider adding sound capabilities to this program. It has so much potential!

Deletes my work after every single update. As fun as this is, there is a Huge flaw in the updating system because every time this app updates all of my work is erased into a single frame which is very heart breaking because I was making something because it’s the end of the school year here and I wanted to do something to so the memories of that class will still be there and so when I went to download it onto my iPad and the app updated by the way and every frame was gone and all that was left was a single blank frame and I was very heartbroken and it took me a long time to create that and I got the audio for that animation and I was planning on surprising my class too with some of those people in my class going onto high school Until the company that created this fixes this major flaw everyone’s work will be erased after every update.

I'm speechless. This is one of the most awesome app that I have ever downloaded that's not a game, it's really fun to make animations, just one suggestion can you make a button that can make individual animations go slower because I think it's a bit too fast but other than that absolutely amazing app!!!

Great. Its pretty good, i love using it but the thing is, i wanted to use my drawing from sketchbook and I’m not able to, i understand that people may make a copy of someone else’s art, but still. Its a bit has for me to draw because i don’t only need tools, i need other helpers like a mirror line and stuff like that. But still, the app is extremely good and useful.

Amazing. I’m very happy with this app. Most things u can do are completely free. I love the simplicity of it. I love seeing all my hard work pay off and look really good. Just one more thing to make it better. The marker and pen option are basically the same is there any way you can make the market option a little bit different. Otherwise this app is one of my absolute favourite apps. ❤️❤️

Love the app, but a pretty major glitch. Absolutely wonderful animation app, I can create great pieces with it, but I can’t help but notice a pretty serious bug that would duplicate the previous frame onto the frame I was on in a different layer. For example while I was drawing an animation, the frame before the one I was working on, duplicate itself onto layer 2. It’s a shame that an amazing app like this has a pretty bad bug.

Love this app! But could use some more options. I love this app so much! I’m obsessed with using it, there’s so much to do and create it’s really simple but so many complex things you can do with it. I really really really want to be able to add an image in so I can animate from that too! I know there is other apps for it but I think it would make a good fit with this app! Thanks so much 💖

Meh. Needs improvement.. This glitch ALLWAYS HAPPENS! If u use the snipping tool one to many times the program crashes and deletes the frame, since I spend a lot of time on animation this is not very easy to work around, also it sometimes just deletes things that snipping tool has been used on. Plz fix it is very annoying!!!

Good animation app, but don’t like new updates. I’m annoyed because before this update I was allowed to make as many sequences as I wanted to, but now I can only make 3, and I made many animations before this, so I have to delete most of them if I want to make more Please make it so we can have infinite sequences, or at least more than 3

Excellent App. Very easy to use and one of my favourite apps to start with. It has heaps of features that I find useful such as the copy & paste, the fill and the ruler tool. Only a minor mistake though, and it is that a faint spot appears on the same place where I scroll to change the size of the brush. Therefore, it is an amazing app and I would recommend this to anyone making digital art.

Good but little glitch. This is an amazing app and I use it all the time to do animation. So I know if there’s a problem. Sometimes when you go into the app, and select a previously made animation, there are slides from parts of your animation that duplicate and move to the start of the animation. Please fix this as it is mostly unexpected when you show it to others, and it looks ugly and unprofessional.

Why???. Two years ago I downloaded this app and it didn’t work at all. Then I downloaded it a week ago this year to see if it would work because I want to become a animator and it worked! I made two sequences The I tried making a third but I forgot to save so I tried making another but all it said was; “you have already made three sequences get this to make more” now let me admit I had been using the “new sequence” for all of them because the tutorial never showed anything about Camera roll and all the other stuff I usually drew then randomly got another little page to do another drawing mostly because the tutorial also never mentioned how to do it without a iPad Air or iPad pen and was just showing off their work and I got really confused, I was really proud of my work and now it’s wasting space on my iPad just for some animation and I don’t want to pay money for something I can get from another animation app but other then this I’m happy you made this because it’s helping me on my dream.

Great and easy to use but.... A month or two ago, I had downloaded the app onto my iPad Air to make an animation showcasing the process of my science project instead of doing a regular slideshow of pictures or video collage. It was really simple to use and the result was great but I recently downloaded the app onto my iPhone and noticed the difference in format which threw me off at first but I got the hang of it after a few minutes. I had downloaded the app because a recent school project required me to make a stop motion film or animation (due to unrelated reasons I couldn’t use my iPad) and I chose the latter. I had just started creating my animation when I noticed that there was no cropping tool. On my iPad there was a cropping tool that allowed me to crop the drawings from a frame and copy or paste them onto another frame. The cropping tool was what helped me create an animation more efficiently and now I have to redraw them every time I want to reposition my drawing and/or put it in another frame. Please help, this is such a great app that is fun and useful and adding onto the mobile format a cropping tool could make it just that much more enjoyable, easy and efficient.

:). Hi! I have used this app a lot for my videos and I wonder if maybe you could add a recording and editing tool. Maybe you could also add in a few shape tools as well.i tried to use the bundle where you could record and I have to download an app and screen record and cut the video it’s very annoying. But other than that it’s great.

Tips for this crazy awesome app. I absolutely love this app but plzz plzz make a shape bar so we can instantly draw shapes and lines also if you could this would make this app awesome if you add symbols so we can easily save like an arm or something that would be soo cool. I don’t know if you can do this but can you add an art part of this app so you can make really cool designs then turn them into symbols and use them to animate and add slow motion animation. Thank you 😊

I love the new update, but... It’s my first time writing a review, but I have been using the app more than 2 years already, I think it’s ok, I do alot of animations on it. I also love the new features in this too. But I never used pro before and the new update said I need to pay to add more sequences, and I’ve already saved more than 20 animations on the app. And I’m making a new video for my social media, but I can’t because I can’t make another sequence. I like the app, but I liked it when we can make more than 3 animations without paying for pro. If you see this please change it.

Very nice app but it sometimes glitches and crashes. I really love this app so much that it inspired me and took me to the next level. But there was a slight (and annoying) problem. Every time when I was editing and drawing each frames, sometimes it suddenly crashed. After that happened, I went back to my current frame and it sometimes isn’t saved, and I sometimes have to edit and draw it all over again.

Omg i love this app too muchhhh. This app is just too perfect even though it has 1 problem, I hope it will be fixed in the future. It does not delete the selected frames. One more bug has appeared, when I export the video, some hidden layers appear and hide another layers, it's pretty annoying, please fix it.

Only one issue. This is a fantastic app but I have one issue that infuriates me. I used to be able to draw with my Apple Pencil and zoom with my fingers easily, but now every time I zoom, my fingers draw over my work. I use the zoom a lot so it’s extremely irritating finding small lines all over my work, sometimes taking so long to fix that I want to give up. Please fix this one issue and have touch turned off for drawing

It is amazing and easy to use.. I have tryed many animation apps including flipaclip and others but this is the one that is best. It was so good i asked my teacher if we could learn animation and she told me she used to be an animator and made books so we used this app to learn animation

I hope you guys can see this. So first I made a animation and put the color on it but when I check there is a lot of pink on the background I try to delete it and draw it again but it still happening sometimes pink sometimes purple ,can you guys fix it please? I try lot of times already I use the rubber too but it just keep coming back!

Good but Fast. Hello, This is a great animating app its just when you watch the animation it goes at 100 miles per hour so if you could slow it down that would be great. I’m still learning and love the app and its really great, it’s just annoying how fast it goes when you play it. I do recommend this but make sure to copy your scenes like 5 or so times so you can actually see whats happening!

Not my kind of App. The App isn’t as easy to use as it looks, for somethings anyway. While it might have Okay-Level brushes and an Alright layout, it makes animations feel rough to some degree. You have to pay to animate on an app that’s calling itself Free. You get some features without payment, but a lot of the problematic ones are locked — such as the ruler. For animation, it’s an okay start in animation and goes fine as an animation app, many flaws, but fine at best. I know you probably won’t improve on it, or have time to. There’s reviews similar to mine from years ago and some even present, yet I feel nothing has been improved or changed. I’ll continue my search for animating apps, but I just wanted to get my opinion out on this one. Download the app and try it yourself, maybe it’ll work for you, but I know for sure, it’s not what I’m personally looking for in an animation app. Thank you for reading. Goodbye.

More style than sense. I bought this app expecting it to be good, but it’s actually terrible. Without the paid version you can only make THREE animations, which is stupid. The developers are just blatantly trying to make money by pretending this piece of garbage is free. There are also adds. To make it extra dumb, the brushes are limited and hard to use, you can barely draw a straight line and sketching is almost impossible. Even with the paid version being able to make more than three freaking sequences is extremely limited. This app is so bad that even apps that are not specifically tailored to animation such as Procreate are a mile better. At least in my opinion, there are much better options available. The only thing good about this is that the interface looks good, which is just proof that you shouldn’t judge a book, or an app, by its cover.

Too expensive. When I first started, I though everything was good, and it still is. I really like this since it’s not like other animation apps, my only concern is that it is too expensive. The thing I was most shocked by was needing pro to use a ruler. I might as well delete this. Mostly, people who draw in an anime kind of style use these kind of apps, including me, and having to not be able to use a ruler is a lot of trouble. I would recommend to decrease the amount of things that can only be accessed by pro. Thank you for your time.

I can’t change my profile pic. The app keeps glitching....and then it just crashes and whenever I click the profile picture it keeps crashing...Anyways good app and pls fix the problems :3

Really good.. but it would be better if....... I really like ur app. It is pretty cool and I think it’s very useful for animation. There are no glitches or anything unlike other apps and it’s mostly free too. I would suggest that u have a thing where u can add speech to ur anime.(I draw comics so it would be real useful). Also I would appreciate if you would add a thing where u can add shapes. The eyes I draw are mostly dots but it is hard to draw because sometimes it doesn’t feel my finger. Also please have a thing where u can choose which animation u use to trace. Again I think ur app is great and it would be good if u could add the features I mentioned above.

Amazing. I only got this app yesterday, and I have done a full animation already! This is a great app and I totally recommended it. Now I wish that was all I had to say, but it’s not. The only thing that is not so great are the costs to make more animations. It is pretty expensive and I would like to have more room to them than having to pay for it all. Other than that, amazing!

Great, but.... I love this app! It’s good for both experts and beginners, with easy-to-use tools, plus a community of animators! I’m only 12, so I don’t have much experience with animation, but even I can create some decent works within an hour! It seems too good to be true, and unfortunately there is a bug that proves this point. So I was working on an animation which I had spent two hours on last night. When the morning came, I got up immediately and started working on it again. I was nearly done shading when I tapped on the button that goes to the next frame, and it started to glitch. I flicked back through the four or five frames before and after that glitched frame, and I saw that the glitched frame had been cleared and replaced with the drawing on the frame before it. The hair (which was on a separate layer) was off to the right, which was where the head was before. I was pretty angry that I had spent all that time, even on that one frame, then it just glitches up. I hope you can understand what I’m saying. This isn’t the first time this has happened. But the last time it happened was a while ago, so I thought it had stopped. Please fix this glitch! I want to animate safely! I hope you see this, and if you do and you fix it, thank you!

Why can’t I put my video in to animate it!?. I tried putting a video of me acting to animate off of and it’s not showing up on the recent animations so I can’t delete it to make more animations please fix this (also this might just be a problem because I don’t have the “pro” version)

Why. I have multiple items I would like to address. On the positive this apps “paint like” brush is nice and I like using it because it has realistic textures. But 90 percent of this apps features are locked behind a paywall. I also hate how the layer are linked. I did a simple animation and each frame used layer 1. At the end I drew something more complicated and used layer 1 as a sketch and drew the picture on layer 2. When I went to lower the opacity of the sketch it lowered all the other frames layer 1s as well so I decided to delete the layer and it deleted all the layer 1s losing my entire animation. The undo button does not kick in for anything but drawing so I couldn’t fix this.

Needs one more thing. I like to draw each frame on a drawing app but it is really hard to put it into your app. I have tried stop motion apps but they don’t have the same freedoms as your app has. If it were possible for you to allow users to create an animation by selecting images from the photo gallery and make each picture an individual frame, that would be great.

Amazing apart from one thing.. This app is great quality, easy to use, and all around amazing. There’s just one thing, it isn’t major but it’d make the app that tiniest bit better. Anyways, I had coloured my whole background grey and continued drawing, when as usual, I made a mistake. I went to press ‘undo’, but I could hardly see it due to it being the exact same grey as my background colour. If you could somehow fix this inconvenience, It’d be greatly appreciated ;)

Great game but.... This is a great app that allows you to animate with specific features. The one thing that is wrong with it is that you cannot fill in a large amount of the screen with one colour without running a line at the bottom of the screen to the nearest corner

Itty bitty note to devs. Loving this app guys but just a teeny weeny problem with the background layer. Only noticable when the background’s colour is changed but when flipping between frames it flickers back to it’s default white canvas for just a second. It’s only a small thing but it can be harsh on the eyes if working with darker colours and what not.

Just the best. I’m just loving this app,super easy to use and fun to make up little cartoons. Definitely recommend.. After using this app for a good while now, I still love using it. I love making funny little animations for my friends when they feel a bit down, it’s great.

One problem. Hi, I just want to address a problem with frames. Whenever I use this app I always set it to a certain amount of frames and then end up needing more. Could I suggest adding the ability to add more frames after you originally make the project. Thank you anyway for this app!

Great!! Just one problem.... The app is awesome and easy to use, just one problem. I was doing a dance animation and then found that I should loop the frames so it would not take so long to repeat the frames over and over again(for the same dance move). I found a repeat frame option so I tried that. It didn’t go so well, it doesn’t loop the frames, it just holds that frame of a lot longer. Because of that, it ruined my whole two hours worth of effort. Please add a -loop frames- effect. AND, be able to select the frames you want it to loop. (Do the selected frames, once there over do them again. Thanks for your time.

Predicting Awesome!. I haven’t entered it yet because it’s taking a while to download. I’m predicting it will be great because if it’s taking a long time it means there is loads of data. This will help me with my animating skills because it will be my first time animating.

It was good but glitch problem. For a mobile app, this animation program is relatively high standard (one of the best as there are few animation apps that do function well). One thing that ruined it for me however was a bug that kept messing up the works, seemingly for no reason. Upon exiting (and sometimes with pieces that haven’t even been touched) there would be different scenes/drawings that would “teleport” to the wrong places often overlapping with other parts, sometimes even clearing entire layers. These mess ups happen about 80% of the time and are hard to fix. This makes it very risky to play with any previous products. It would be great if this could be patched up as otherwise the app functions well for its purpose.

Potentially one of the most frustrating apps ever. The app literally froze multiple times when I was drawing. I waited a couple of minutes before turning my brand new iPad back on to see if it loaded but no. Still frozen. So I had to refresh the app itself and lost majority of my progress. I’m really frustrated at how many times this app freezes and does not save my work. Even if there is a manual save button, it freezes before I can even save.

Good app!. This is an amazing app, features are simple and easy to use and nice interface. However, I cannot figure out how to delete multiple frames? If this feature does exists please let it be known and if not it would be a very handy feature to have! Other than that, awesome job!

NOT ON. Very good app prior to the update, would’ve been 4.5 stars but no this is not the case is it. I like the new interface very nice and whatnot but whoever updated this has essentially given me the middle finger to my animation process of rotoscoping. When starting a new project and selecting the open file option, I select video and nothing opens, nothing happens, thus stopping my projects continuing. I’m not mad, I understand app developing is a difficult and tedious process, and the simplest mistakes are the most difficult to fix sometimes. But I am disappointed, disappointed that I cannot continue my work because of this ridiculous mistake. I just want to upload a video again! Thank you for your time reading this and I look forward to resolving and moving on with this issue so I can continue using this app.

Umm.... I am thinking of deleting this app because it is not working and I definitely think you can do better. Plus I don’t know how to make an animation anyway. But it was good that I finally found a free animation app. I am not trying to be mean I am just saying that I cannot understand this app. Please try to make this app less difficult. thank you. P.S there needs more advice, hints and tips as it’s difficult to navigate without them.

Great until.... I love animating and this was the program where all of that started. It was easy to use and fun! Until this new update... I wanted to animate my dogs eyes and talking with that import video option, but apparently I’m only allowed 3 sequences? What? That is not at all okay! What happened to the fun, easy, FREE app I used to use!? Now I have a different app for animating that is actually free! I did give you 5 stars last time, now it’s gonna be 2.

It is good but. I love animation desk because you can do anything you want to animate. The downside is that you have to pay to make more than 3 animations and my parents will not

Great app but.... This app is really good but the fact that I can only make three animations kind of annoys me. For someone who loves to animate this is a big downer. Could you make it so that we can make more than three because this is the best app I’ve come across and I really want to be able to use it all the time. Keep up the good work!

Really good, but there’s a glitch. This app is really good, but recently it’s been acting really buggy. There’s a specific glitch where it won’t let you draw and will constantly tick back to a space between the 2nd and 3rd frames. The only way to stop it is to exit the animation and go back in again, but after a few minutes the same glitch will happen again. I tried turning my iPad off and on again but that didn’t help. My iPad is an iPad Pro with iPadOS 14.7.1. Please fix this bug so I can go back to keeping my sanity while using this app. Also can you add the option to add sound please?

Amazing but.... Hello, I love the app but i’m a horrible artist. I cannot draw the exact same as my other frames! Could you make a button to save a specific frame? Then us bad artists could make actual animations! If that already exists than please tell me where it is! Thank you.

Awesome. The app animation desk is useful for people who are making 2d or 3d animations. This because it contain a variety of tool to draw your animation. For example, each slide shows the outline of the previous picture which makes it easy to make your film go smoothly.

I love this. I really love this app it’s my fav so far it’s very easy to se all the tools but I’m not going to say this to be mean just to help in prove it I think when you can duplicate the drawing you should make something to flip the duplication that would really help to get my drawings cememetrical but I love this app so much it’s amazing

Good but.... Ok so when I went into the app for the first time, it was great! I made a few animations that were.. decent. Anywho, problem is that you can only have one of each type of brush. 2. You can only make three animations at a time until you have to delete one to make another. 3. You have to change the brush(or pen or what ever) to a specific colour if you want the fill tool to have a color. And4. Way to many items needed the subscription or whatever it is to work.

Pretty great!. It’s a good app, I just wish there were a few more features, and that the tutorial didn’t pop up every time I went on the app.

Maybe for a kid. The app has basic features such as onion skin, grid, changing frame rate, layers, etc, but I can’t see myself using this app in the long run. I really like the fact that you can remove the watermark without having to pay a monthly subscription (I mean I would even pay a 1 time fee, just not a monthly subscription just because the only thing I want is to remove a watermark 😩😩). I haven’t used this app for long so correct me if I’m wrong. But there are limitations also. I want to animate in 1080p x 1980p, but the only way to do that is to manually animate sideways with the 16:9 aspect ratio settings. There are only 3 canvas sizes. Also, you can’t import audio. The treasure chest thing where you get access to some “special features” for a limited time is cute. It would probably be engaging to children, but for someone trying to get into animation, it’s not that appealing. The border around the canvas is also entertaining, but gets distracting very quickly. I would prefer just a blank canvas. I’m not sure what that lightbulb feature is for (where it turns the side of the canvas yellow?) Again, these features would most likely be engaging for children. So in conclusion, I’ve only used this app for a short while. If there was an audio importation feature, I might’ve used it for longer. I can see it working for children experimenting with animation, but this app isn’t for me.

Drawing pen is too small. Great app the only thing is that the drawing tools are mostly too thin to draw for me and the other ones are premium only if you could add an option to make the drawing tools thicker than just 22 thickness cuz it’s too small for me anyways thanks for reading this but it is a good app 4 out of 5

Can’t zoom in. This program is splendid other than the fact that you can’t zoom in and make anything refined ://

Meh. Meh

Good game but.... I wish the the game had this setting where I could update my animation to my YouTube channel.

noice. noice

Too many bugs!. So laggy please fix it

I just got it but. You need more pen options. You need it make it so there’s more pen sizes. But i like it a lot.

Ok. It decent but FlipaClip clip is better and this app is a bit hard to use. The onion skin wasn’t working and this app makes a bit less fluent animation

The app is stupid. You can not zoom in, and it does not show you how to use it. It is very hard to learn.

Entry level fun!. For a free app, it’s good. I wouldn’t pay for the full version because it was buggy and unreliable, but it was a great lily pad into animation for me!

Okay. I do not like the layers that much though.

I REALLY LOVE MAKING CREEPY STUFF AND REALLY SCARY STUFF AND BLOOD ORGINS. 9000000/10✨✨✨✨

Soooo awesome!!🤩. I love this app so much. It is so fun and easy! Definitely buy the app

I have some slight requests. Is there any copy button? And can you make the screen close up? It’s really hard.… but it’s a really good game though! and if you add that stuff, I’ll give you five stars!✨

Unhappy NO CANCELLATION contact clearly provided.. There seems NO WAY to terminate this app AND its monthly billing! Had trial time and am stuck with it for over a 2 years, possibly more by now. Too expensive for what it offers. iD “in Design” is far better for the money and Photo Shop V2 can be obtained free to learn on then upgrade. ****** I can find No simple way to cancel / discontinue !!! Nor contact to do so!

Awesome game!. I love this game sooooo easy to play but you have to buy almost everything which would have made my rating a 4 but because it’s an absolute awesome game it’s a 5 star review 😜

Crashes. Great app, very easy to work with. Pleasant. But it crashes by freezing every 15-20 minutes!

Frame overwrite bug. Not impressed at all that the app has a serious bug with frames being overwritten or lost. It would appear that this issue has been around for some time, but the developer still hasn't fixed it. It's mentioned in the FAQ (which we only saw after encountering the bug), but Kdan completely absolve themselves of any responsibility with some vague mention of being unable to test will all systems. If a developer is going to charge for an app, don't they have an obligation to support it? We've lost hours of work because of this bug.

I love this app. Wow this app is so clean and easy to use just wish you didn’t need to buy a lot of this but it’s Great

Great app. This is so good to work with, a bit buggy but it sure does get the job done

WOW. This app is AMAZING , it’s a VERY GOOD APP, you should download it!

Good but. I can’t zoom in most of the time and it likes to reset a lot of the things I do, it makes it hard to use

Hey ummm. I used to like this app but then the app kept crashing so i don’t like it anymore

Unusable. It lags so much its impossible to do anything.

Please don’t make pasted lines and drawings blurrier then the rest of the lines!. I love this app, but every time I have to move a part of my drawing it makes it weird and blurry. It makes animations look worst and more inconsistent and it’s a pain to have to trace over the edges to make it look normal again. If this is a bug, can someone please iron it over? Thanks!

Great app. Love the simplicity of it it’s so easy to use and really good the free version has just the right tools to make a good animation. Thanks for your hard work!!!!

I have no idea how to work it. Nothing is clear

Really great 👍. It’s great, but it’s for a higher age group (it’s really complicated but super cool 😎)

?. How do I make it work I can’t animate it’s stupid idk how

Why do I have to pay for everything?. The most pages I can have for free is two. And I have to PAY for a marker? This sucks.

Broken app. This app has ruined both of my animations I’ve tried working on, first one it duplicated every frame on top of each other and upside down or it’s failed to save frames leaving my animations short by 5-6 frames wasting an hour of work

The best alternative to flipaclip. At least it doesn’t have a watermark 🙂🙂🙂

F you. I tried to use it. But one of my drawings. Stayed in the freaking backround I’ll update it when *you* make it work 😞

Great app. I am making my very own anime this app is just amazing so great should definitely download for drawing and animations

Good. This is an amazing app, I love all the animations you can make! My only recommendation is that u make it more simple and easy to use.. although I love the app, it took me a long time to learn how to use it.

I need to zoom in. This app is great but I can’t zoom in close enough that I can’t draw

App no work. Bought the creativity 365 but animation desk is not working parts of the app are greyed out or asking me to buy subscriptions I already bought the app what’s the deal big rip off energy here

Good app with an incredibly irritating bug. Sometimes the app will glitch and replace one of your layers with the drawing from the frame before it. It’s incredibly annoying when this happens, please fix this.

A little difficult to. Manage not enough instructions in the tutorial.

Can you pls send me some help?. Sorry, but I do not know how to get the page where you animate it and i am really looking forward to using the app! 😊 hopefully you under stand! So pls send me some help! Thanks!

Yes. It’s a good app I just wish you can change the fps

Close but no cigar. I was trying to use this app for a final project, but encountered bugs like my layers turning blue, flipping upside down, staying on the background, copying itself even when I was selecting a small item. I’ve tried to make it work but I had to delete several important frames because it would just stay on there even after I undid everything! I really like this app because it has more features that you don’t have to pay for and it’s really cool, but the fact there are still these bugs now makes me feel like you’re not going to change it, and you aren’t really working on improving this app as much as you say you are.

:]. It’s one of those apps where you think it free then OH HO HO the magical fairy of disappointment and realism comes flying down and asks you to buy their premium use VIP special pro thing that gives you access to the eraser, but I mean, it’s only like 30$ so why not. I mean I could have gotten McDonalds for one with that money but hey, it’s not like there’s other animation programs for my device. OH WELL.

The best. It’s so easy to use:)

Thank you!!. You have fixed my problem thank you!!!!

Blank canvas. Eventually the project will show up blank this goes as far when playing said animation the animation will be rendered blank with only a small bit of panels showing the character animating. I don’t mind the crashes but this issue really is irritating especially since I’m a subscriber.

It's good. a alert keeps popping up about my storage while I'm animating, It's really Annoying and it happens every two second's It is quite good though!

Not very good. Only 4 layers? Are you serious?? The tools are pretty good but how are artists supposed to create an animation with limited layers? I was halfway finished with the drawing when I went to add another layer and it says I have to pay $40.

Great, could be Perfect. All in all I’m quite satisfied with this app. Nice selection of brushes, ability to control frame rate and a good number of layers. A few things i think would make it perfect would be... 1. Allow for placement of simple shapes like circles, squares, rectangles etc. and if these shapes could somehow be vector so they can be easily repositioned between frames. Even if you cant paint or fill or erase them, just to be able reposition or resize them quickly and reliably (size governed by numeric input). 2.Make it possible to omit frames from playback without deleting them, so one can play with timing. 3. Make an option for a graph over/underlay. 4. When scrubbing through frames, when you come to the last frame and hit next frame, it should take you back to the first frame of your loop and vice versa when scrubbing in reverse. 5. When using onion skin (having previous and next frame shown) and working on the last frame of a loop, you should be able to see the skin of your first frame so as to be able to faithfully complete the loop. Hope this helps!

Great app! But..... So I’ve had this app for two days now and I’m working on an animation and it’s actually coming out very nicely and smoothly! I do have a few suggestions, So something that would really help me is if you added the bucket (fill in) tool! I have to scribble it all in and it takes more hours than needed. So please add this because it would REALLY help! Another thing is that I would love if you could have different backgrounds for each frame because different colors and patterns etc. make some things POP! So yeah please add these things and beside these things I love this app!😊 -Lyric

Great app!!. This is a good animating app considering it’s free, but I do have a couple suggestions to make the app better in my view.. it would be nice if you had the ability to zoom in while drawing and coloring cause as of now it is a little hard to make my animations more detailed. Another thing I would highly suggest is to give the option to put audio in the animation. I’m not a professional animator, I’m just beginning, but these kind of things would really help me, and I think a lot of other people too! I hope all of you put my thoughts in to consideration and like my review, thanks!

Used to be Perfect. App is one of the greatest apps I have used before ...until the new update. This new update really improved basic animating, especially for beginners, but all except for 2-3 things from the old version now have to be paid for. Pay for color pallets, occasionally get prompted to pay for a third layer. Fine, fine. Close and reopen the app to go back to editing my third layer, and just use the eye dropper from previous frames to get the colors I need. But the one thing that bothers me to no end, and why the rating of this review isn’t higher, is that now you must pay to have more than three sequences, and I know that it was not like this before as I have the free version and have four sequences.

Pretty good, but won't let me use anymore. So sorry to bring this down, it's a great app and I used it a lot, but now it won't let me animate. I try to enter the app and as soon as I click one of my projects it kicks me out. It also no longer saves the things it lets me in long enough to do, only the old things are on and I can barely even look at those until I get kicked out. But before it happened it was a great app! Though when I tried covering anything with the paint bucket there would be a little gap between the colors and the lines but that didn't bother me to much. I highly recommend this to anybody who wants to start animating :)

I hesitated when this popped up…. Ok so the app is kindaaa like FlipaClip but when i was going to camera roll it said “Do you want “Animation” to track down your location” It said something like that and it scared me…So…Can one of you report back to me? Cuz I’m scared now….And when I know if it’s not what I think it was then I wouldn’t be scared. And the app is ok but… no offense or anything it’s a bit boring…kinda…or maybe it isn’t and I’m just a bad animated o-o. Anyway if the developer is reading this please comment back! Cuz me a kid and I’m one of those kids that gets scared when I hear noises everyday and night. Bye bye 💖👋👁👄👁❤️💜🧡🖤💛🤍💚🤎💙<3

Eh. . .. This is an app that I would use again, if not for it's major updates it needs to add. In my opinion, the saving options and the fact that you have to buy most of the pencils and supplies is over the top– in a bad way. I was making an animation I was really proud of, but when I exited out and logged back on an hour later, almost a fourth of it was gone. I also wanted to make some lineart but because I could only use mechanical pencil-like tools it was hard. It is still good for making animatics, but the way it ONLY uses pencil- like supplies without money I can't really make too much stuff with it. Overall, this app is ok, but I think it needs a lot of updates from where it is now.

Great but. Everything looks good, it has everything I hoped it would, including rulers, eyedroppers, bucket tool, different brushes, adjustable sizes, layers, changeable framerates....except audio. There is a way to import audio after you export a completed animation, but this only includes audio downloaded to your device. There is no way to record audio. On top of that, the point of many animations is to match the animation to the audio, whether it be lip-syncing, frames matching beats, or the characters doing something in reference to the current lyric. But without the ability to have audio while you animate, it is impossible to do any of this. This would be a great app if only you could actually animate to any audio!

Important feature missing!. Hi, I just got this app, and already I’ve noticed that an important feature (for me) is missing! So, I’m sure I’m not the only one who can’t draw a straight line to save their life. I desperately need line tools! At LEAST a straight line tool and a curve tool would help a lot! Please add these features, I think a lot of people would be grateful for them! Also, I think you should be able to make the pen bigger. Size 20? That’s it? What if someone wants a solid line, but they need it to be bigger than size 20? Just a suggestion. Thank you for your time, and I hope you seriously consider my suggestions. -Anonymous User Who Can’t Draw Straight

New update caused animation to fail.. I try to play the animation inside of the editor, but my animation isn’t showing, it’ll play the first few frames and then it just freezes, sometimes it will show it’s still playing, but the viewport has the same frame showing the entire time, I can’t properly time my animation without some very annoying workarounds, like exporting it and then looking at how it plays, which takes a lot more time. I was able to animate before the update with 9 layers and everything. Now it is just way to difficult. I think I’ll just get the pro features on FlipaClip instead. At least they support rotating the canvas when you’re animating.

Downgraded to a 2. This app is super scary glitchy. Literally spent hours on an animated loop. Showed my wife and hit the play button and it just decided to clone the frame I was on over the rest. Lost hours of work. Hope you guys have a way to retrieve a previous version. As a creative, that’s a huge blow and extremely discouraging. Even worse I’m paying for their lame cloud service. This may be the last straw if you can get my work back. Even after it’s fixed, I’m going to have to manually export every time just from the fear of losing my work again. I submitted a ticket. September 2022 update Downgraded to a 1. I subscribed to them and yet even when I lost frames from the all the glitches, they were never able to recover them. Really was upsetting because it put a lot of my projects on halt. I’m happy to say I have moved to Callipeg. Oh my god this app is a game changer. It’s a one time fee and I have not run into any glitches. It’s crashed on me a few times but I never lost any frames. I even went ham with the layers and the app still performed perfectly. I have nearly exported all my years of work on Animation+ app and migrated it to Callipeg. Do yourself a favor and go to Callipeg. You can thank me later.

KEEPS DELETING MY STUFF (edited). PLEASE READ EDIT FIRST I love the app, but keeps deleting my stuff and turning it to one frame when I was almost FRICKIN DOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEE AUGGGHHHHH SOMEONE FIX Edit: Thank you for the response. The problem is mostly fixed now. :) But sometimes the undo button doesn’t work either. Other than that, I LOVE this animation app!! Thank you SO VERY MUCH for the reply and making such an awesome free app. This is the best I could find, and I even inspired my friends to get into it. Animation has been so fun, and I am more than happy to change my review to a 5 star. Can’t wait to see how this improves! ~A Happy Animator

Fantastic!. I use this for all of my animating! It’s got enough stuff without paying money, I do have a few suggestions though, being able to delete more than one frame at a time would work great because sometimes I don’t use all of them, also being able to change the frames per second after starting, a few new tools would also be great, I usually keep my animations in black and white because of a lack of a bucket tool, and not being able to store colors to use again, those might be features and I just haven’t found them yet, but they would make the app and my animations 10 times better!

Worst animation app EVER. Wow this app is just so bad. The fact that I couldn’t even draw a good line with a stylus is just... BAD. I would rather do procreate or flipaclip then this. The girl in the tutorial sounded so dead, like she hated this app. I tried to draw a simple stickman but that just looked horrible for a stickman. I would like to use all the brushes BUT NO! Not even a “Watch an ad and get this brush free” this app is disappointing. I am sorry for being so harsh about this, but I feel like this app needs an automatic stabilizer or something. It might be my device but all of the other drawing and animation apps I’ve ever used before didn’t act like this. If this was updated a little more, making it easier to find stuff and adding a stabilizer or something to keep lines straighter,I would be happy to download this app again. Thank you, Please respond.

Problems. When I started using this app I didn’t really like it I tried giving it chances but it always crashed on me making me lose work ( which wasn’t much cause it always crashes like 5 minutes in) an other problem is the copy and paste including the movement of it as it would always lag and not show up, most of the time it didn’t allow me to move it, the final problem is the lag/ delay of the pen as I knew this wasn’t my pen it was the app as I tried other apps ( animation and non) like flipaclip,procreate,medibangpaint, and ibispaint they all worked perfectly except this one animation desk, I find the app to be stressful and frustrating not only that animators loss their hard work like mine, I wouldn’t recommend this app. As I hope in the future the devs should fix these problems.

Not intuitive. Not going to lie, I have no idea how to use this app. I spent a good 15 minutes trying to accomplish the most basic of tasks and couldn’t figure it out. The most obvious example of this is putting an image on a layer. You import it, and it shows up on the page with all the adjustment tabs -- great. Click on a different tool, it’s gone. Click on a different layer, it’s gone. Click outside the image, it’s gone. Ok, so, how do I get it to stick? Is there a checkbox or something that I am missing? I just don’t see it. Maybe I can only put images on the background and not on layers? I didn’t see any warning or popup telling me that. This shouldn’t be a difficult task, why it’s not clearly documented is just baffling to me. I’m just left wondering if my app is bugged or something.

Thought of some updates for iPhone users!. For one, the layers get all screwed up. It’s glitchy overall. There’s also no blend tool! It’s so sad because lots of my OC’s have got ombré. Please please please add this! Sometimes the application crashes after cutting/copying part of frame. If you could get rid of this, it’d be really helpful. I also think that there should be an option for moving background. If you want your bg to be the same for every frame, there would be an option for that, and if not, you could edit the bg but still have it be on the background later. That’s an idea for tweaking though. If you could pay more attention to the iPhone’s application I’d appreciate that a lot! Thank you!

We need to talk about some bugs. EDIT: (in response to developer) There doesn’t seem to be anything specific that I do when this happens, but I’ve noticed it happens the most after I leave the app, and then come back to the animation. This happens the most when I leave while still in the actual animation, not the gallery, and when I come back into the app, the bug messes things up. Ok, so this is a fairly alright app for animation, I’ve a few awesome ones in the past, but it could use improvements. (It’d be nice to be able to rotate the screen and change the background for some slides without changing all of them) but there’s a really bad bug that I would love to be fixed. I’ll leave the app, and then it duplicates and deletes a slide at random, then randomly places the duplicated slide. I even saved a version before this happened, but that was affected too. I worked really hard on so many animations, only to have them ruined by a stupid bug that I can’t fix. This is really annoying and I would love it if you could fix it, as I can’t find any other animation apps to use that work for me. Thank you for reading, but PLEASE fix this if you can. I love animation and I don’t want that to be ruined by this bug

Pretty good app!. This app is really fun to use, like FlipaClip but a little more convenient. It’s easy to animate on and draw on. Just a few things though; Maybe don’t do a low storage alert every time I use paint bucket. There is also a problem when I duplicate frames. If I have low storage, the frames don’t duplicate, so I have to use the copy paste tool. I would also recommend getting the pro version; there are much more tools! Otherwise, this app is awesome and I totally recommend it!

Wonderful, except for a few issues. This app is wonderful! It allows me to do so many things! There's just one minor problem I've been experiencing! Ever since we got the new update with a new pencil type, it goes to that type every time I want to use pencil, and I have to click the one I want in order to get off it. It's getting annoying. It even happens when I switch to eraser and back. I know there's probably no way for you to fix that, but it's fine! I'll deal with it! Anyways, it's absolutely wonderful! I'll keep using it for as long as I can!

I LOVE IT!!!! but can you add one thing though?. So i love to draw and ive always wanted to animate cuz i always watch those youtubers and stuff, so i searched an app and found this. Its sooo good, ive made many animations and everyone i send them to loves them. Thanks for the good app, but in the next updates, can you add a feature where you can make perfect shapes? Also can you make a feature where you can add more backgrounds for different scenes? I cant quite find any way to do that, but please add those two features. Apart from that i give this 5 starsssssssssss brooo

Works nicely, but there is one thing that could improve.... I think the app is really nice and simple! The lines are smooth and it works pretty nicely. However, the bucket tool works very poorly. If the lines are thin, the bucket will go right through them and end up filling in the entire canvas. It would be more convenient if it could work with gentle, thin lines. And if you could use the paint bucket on the bottom later! For example, in an app called ibispaint, it allows you to do line art on the top layer and use the paint bucket on the bottom layer without it filling up the whole canvas. It's extremely convenient and this app would be perfect if only it had a feature like that.

Bad glitches. At first this app was great, and it’s still easy and fun to animate with, but it started glitching. It changed one of my frames in an old animation to a copy of the frame before it. Once I play the animation I’m working on it shows a frame that I have deleted. To find the deleted frame, I had to get rid of one of my most important frames, and now the unwanted frame won’t go away when I delete it. This needs to be fixed I wish I could just animate without this glitchy stuff happening every 10 minutes. Also, I don’t like that you can only have three animations at a time without paying money. All in all, I think this app is really fun and I use it a lot, but lately it’s really been getting on my nerves and I’m considering uninstalling.

Please change it back!!. I love animating on this app. I wish to become an animator and everything about this app is perfect until the update. Why did you change it? I have to now pay money to have more than 3 sequences. That’s not a good look for the app, personally. What happens if someone wants to animate on this app freely but has to pay money after realizing they can only make 3 short stories on it? And the way you rearranged the buttons are just sliiiightly confusing. I don’t mind it, but I, and a small handful of animators, think it’d be nice to have it changed back, but of course, that’s not why I’m here. I’d just LOVE to have as many sequences as I’d like without paying. That’d be a dream, to be honest. ~Scotty~

Nice app, A few annoying things.. This app is very good when making animations to show off but there is just 2 bugs. 1: whenever I try importing an image and moving it it never lets be use it, and just resizes it which makes it hard to use and could ruin the animation. 2: whenever I’m scrolling through the animation it sometimes glitches and makes it look like something is off so I try to remove it and then it doesn’t get removed but when I scroll forwards then back to it it looks like my animation frame is ruined. which is annoying. If there’s a way for you to remove these bugs, then please do it. It would be muchly appreciated.

PLS READ. This is the best animation at the Everence but using it for years and I think it’s time to write a review and this is beautiful it does amazing things I love the stools and this sounds goes perfectly in with animation it has a anizone to show other animators your work and it’s beautiful this game is amazing for Animation nothing could possibly beat it!!! Check out my channel Bybedleeming I make a lot of animations using this app so you can see them and see how great this app is and it’s very easy and smooth!!!

Inconveniences but you can get around them. I’ve been using animation desk for a long time. But there’s 3 things that are annoying. 1 being that you have to import music after the animation is done. 2 being you have to import it from iTunes which means that if you want your own original sound, then you have to make the audio from scratch in a 3rd party app, import it to your phone through iTunes on your computer, then finally import it onto your animation. 3 being that the ratio is 4:3 and not the standard 16:9.

Caution strange glitch. when Got this app for my daughter for her to take the next step of art she was really into it but she noticed a strange glitch within it. What happens is that when she went onto a certain frame from the frame selection to make duplicates of it and accidentally clicked on one of the fames it would change that frame into a clone on the one she was previously on. She got really frustrated due to that glitch she hopes that the creators can fix the problem so everyone does not have to deal with that glitch in order to avoid that make sure you have that select button in and if your planning in moving to one frame to another go to the one you where previously on I hope that helps

The update makes me want to cry😔. Guys, I love this app, and It was the best app for animation, for free, and for mobile! I regularly animate on it, and I have an instagram of just animations on it where I upload every two days or so, and I’ve also been featured on your Instagram :) __ But, recently, I’ve found, there’s been an update. Though the update itself isn’t bad, because you’ve fixed the issue of not being able to draw a clean line at the very bottom of the frame, I’ve found that you’ve taken away the ability to have a colour palette without paying, which is very upsetting :( Due to this update, I’m not sure if I can continue animating at all, because my animations heavily rely on the uniform colours. Is there any way I can just go back a version? 😔

Thank you so much!. This app truly is amazing. I’ve been looking for free animation apps and I found FlipaClip. It was quite hard to use, so I decided to give this one a try! I made the right decision because this app is so good! There is no watermark and there is a tutorial that teaches you how to do everything! The only problem I had with this app was that whenever I use layers, they get mixed up by themselves. Then when I fix the layers in that frame, it mixes up the layers in a different frame, so the whole time I’m jumping around trying to adjust my layers. Other than that, it’s very good and I HIGHLY recommend it. Keep up the good work!

It’s really good except.... I absolutely love this app, and it’s really easy to learn once you figure out what everything does. The only problem I have with it is the zoom and turn function, I find it to be really... choppy. Thing is if you look at other animation and art programs like ibisPaint and flip a clip, you can easily zoom in and turn the frame/ drawing with two fingers. But on this program I have a lot of difficulty zooming it in, and you can’t turn the frame, which holds problems cuz I need to turn the drawing sometimes to draw a line or add detail. But otherwise this program is the best I’ve found so far!

Something went wrong…. Animation Desk used to be good. It used to be organized all in a black bar and wasn’t so confusing. Now, everything is so hard to find and half of the tools are locked behind a paywall. The page also rotates whenever you zoom in and out. Half of the time, I have to go back and redo something because it was at the wrong angle and I never even noticed. Or I could use the cutout tool, but they updated that too! Everything is so much harder than it needs to be. They also removed AniZone. The AniZone in-app browser was such an easy way to view your own animations on the web page. Now, you must sign in using an external web browser and it’s just a pain. If I had known beforehand, I would have never updated Animation Desk. It’s not as good as it could be.

How must I use you...... I honestly think I would have enjoyed it, ‘Cause I’m sure it’s a great app and all, just wish there was some kind of tutorial! It’s so hard just to get one picture of animation in it’s like dramas rama, whatever that means. And it plays backwards?? Huh? I’m no genius in this stuff, but I know how to do little animations, and to me it does not make sense. Please fix as soon as possible it’s just so hard to understand the physics of this animation-ey app. Reply: Why thank you, I appreciate that. I’ll take a look when I have some free time. I have not explored to much of the app but I don’t know how to put it in order😅. I’ll take a look at the tutorial to find an answer. and will hope to find it very helpful. Hopefully.... Thank you!

Great app, recommend turning off auto-updates.. This is a wonderful app, more than worth the money for a subscription. However, I would recommend turning off your iPad’s ability to offload unused apps for space, and instead do updates manually. The developers have a tendency to completely change the UI relatively frequently (it’s happened at least twice since I started using it), and with something as immersive as hand-drawn animation, it can be frustrating to unexpectedly have to re-learn all of the tools. If you keep an eye on the release notes, you can update it between projects, when you have plenty of time to re-learn the app.

Hii. This game is amazing I didn’t really like animating until I found this game .i did another animating game but it wasn’t as good but when I find this one it was just what I was looking for and it was amazing at first I just had it then when I started playing it I started getting into animating. When you play this game game it saves it and you can always go back to it and add slides when ever you want to. You can choose almost anything you can choose how fast it goes the color and what the paint looks like it really good. Last thing If you ever want Togo back to you animation then you can you can rename it and add slides when ever you want I think that’s useful because if you want to upgrade your animation to be Better you can do that if you want to rename your animation to something better you can do that if you want to add more frames YOU CAN DO THAT TO. You can go back and do anything with it and I think that’s amazing so I think you should download this amazing game ANIMATION

Great but..... I love this app because it’s my dream to be a movie maker but....... it’s just so hard to draw everything over and over and... I can’t get it to look like how toy story looks and.... how to train your dragon. It looks like I drew it on a pice of paper. So is there anything in this app I can’t figure out or.... because I really want the movie to be the best. And.... I want to do more frames then 100. I want to do like 200 frames because sometimes I want to make long movies. But like I said I love this app but there are bad things and good things. Just one more thing....... can you make a way where you can work together with people to make one big movie? Because me and my friends want to work together. But you did great on the app thanks again 🙂❤️

Great app... but:. The app is amazing, but to do well you need to buy everything! It should just cost money on the AppStore instead of leading you to think you can do all of this for free. It can function for free, but I do recommend the paid experience! Wish there was a way for easy circles and squares though. 4 stars! :) Thanks for responding team! Your app is great in my opinion, but my recommendation is to have it be the price for pro on the AppStore, and then have the app have all the features. Thanks for responding once again! Makes me happy to see you respond within a few days, shows that you care a lot about your users. Keep it up team and keep doing great!

Good but needs some things. Now this app is good but I started noticing some things that annoy me. For me I like when I can tap with two fingers and it will undo now, I don’t know if I can fix this in settings but I can’t do that and it annoys the LIFE out of me. The second one is with zooming in. When I import a video of me with a ratio of like TikTok I can’t zoom in all the way and it’s a little problem for me. And the last one is the pens. I hate how I have to pay for 99.9% of pens I’d rather have 50% of pens and erasers than 00.1% of pens and erasers. Other than those small problems this is a very good animation app even for starters 10/10 would recommend!

REALLY GOOD APP but... I think there’s one thing that needs to be Added. I would really love to see custom canvas sizes. For example if I want to do a 1x1 video for instagram I could have how big the canvas is to start with instead of having a different ratio that doesn’t make the animation seem as professional. I’ve used this app for multiple projects and they all turned out great but if this could be added to the app it would be well appreciated and I’d change my review to a 5-star👍

Too many glitches to use. I’ve been getting into stop motion and 2d animation recently so I downloaded this app. I can’t really use it because it freezes every time I leave the app and I have to close it out completely. It also refuses to react when I push buttons sometimes and it won’t differentiate my palm from my Apple Pencil. I’ll review my animation to find little dots or lines made from my palm. If they remove these glitches from the app in an update maybe I’d use it a lot more. There are also an excessive amount of ads. Any single action you make (excluding animation itself) will trigger an add that takes about 5 seconds to skip. And those seconds add up real fast 😐.

Frustrationnnnnnnnn. I got this app a few months ago, and many of the reviews complained of the app suddenly booting them to the home screen and deleting all their hard work. I hadn’t really used the app at all, but then I decided I’m going to make an animation. I GUESS I should have LISTENED TO the reviews! Booted, all my work lost. I had another small animation going but I just deleted the app right away to save myself the pain of going through that again. I was only working for about an hour, which is a relatively long time. I didn’t hate the app, but I wouldn’t recommend it. I know there were other reviews for this stuff happening, so I’d really like an update for auto saving or something? Again, was an okay app overall and performance wise worked for my purposes.

There are just a few things I wish were different. Right now I’m currently animating on this app and I like most of it. The fill tool could use a little help. It would be better to filled in the white spaces and the brush/pen/pencil/blender. The layout for the frames also gets complicated too when I’m doing a longer animation. This leads to me chopping up a long animation into smaller sequences. I also think there should be a correction feature whenever you make a streaky line. There should also be layer opacity and layer movement as well. After all of this, it’s only crashed on me once. It has a big range of colors, a variety of tools, and nice outcomes. Overall, this is still an AMAZING free app and I would recommend it to on-the-go mobile beginner animators like me.

No… very very sad.. Ok, i really do like that there are storyboards in this app, i’ve never downloaded an animation app with storyboard… panals. Idk what there called. But animation dest is very laggy. It could just be bc i have an older ipad, so i dont know if its the app’s fault. WHY CANT I DO MORE THAN 3 ANIMATIONS WITHOUT MEMBERSHIP.. OR PRO… or what ever its called… but its so laggy that i did’nt bother to try to finish my third animation. The brushes in this app are an amazing choice. And how you can choose your colors.. and that theres not a limited amount of colors. The only reason its not 3 stars, is the rlly bad lag. It barely works, and its hard to add another frame. Thank you for reading this if you did. Bc I usually dont read long reviews like this one.

Could be amazing.... I’ve made 4 simple animations and it has the potential to be awesome, but it’s just not. Here’s what I experienced: Switching between frames takes way too long, even when the page flip animation is off. The notification when using the new Apple Pencil quick switch feature blocks the center of the canvas. When I save and come back layers have been merged, but I can’t merge layers intentionally. I had a lot of weird missing frames/duplicated layers issues when exporting. Onion skinning doesn’t really work on opaque objects, I can’t see anything but the outline. I can’t create custom sized canvases. I can’t zoom out on the canvas to see how the animation would look smaller.

Love this app!. This is awesome! I just wish that it had the ability to import (an) audio track(s) with it and that the brushes were more sharp (at least some of them). Kinda like Adobe flash ^-^ but besides that, it's awesome! I’d also like to be able to move layers around (whether up or down in the panel, or even on-screen like you can an image). That would make it easier for a beginning animator like me. I understand this is supposed to replicate older animation styles like that of a flip book, but I could create much more quality things with these tools. However, it is a wonderful app for the iPad and it is so far my favorite I’ve tried out. Thanks for making it! :)

Please help 😭. I used the program once before to make an animation and the app is great and everything, but now I can't figure out how to use it! I was able to do this thing the first time I used it where the first drawing I made would show up in the next drawing, but it wasn't part of the drawing, it was just showing you what you previously did so that you could trace it. However, after pressing every button, and the help button, I'm still unsure how I did that the first time. Great app and everything, but someone PLEASE help me understand how to use it! The videos also don't help. very much either. Overall, great app though.

RIP my work.. Animation desk continuously crashes on my iPad 6th gen. I have manny animations and hundreds of hours in the app. But, unfortunately, It’s not working anymore. On top of that, a while ago an update came out that pay walled what used to be free features, but unfortunately, now you have to pay for it. Basically, Your app is getting worse every few updates and I really want this crashing issue fixed so I can finish this one project and export my 35+ minutes of animation. I am running IOS 14 on the newest update of animation desk. Anyways, If someone besides the developers see this, I recommend flippa clip, as it has all of the features this has but for free (excluding brushes witch is why I still used this app) and sometimes this app doesn’t even work so... yeah... Anyways hope this helped cya for more bugs reported on this app (if I can get it to work)

I used to love the app but now I hate it. I used to love the app’s old interface which is shown in it description photos but then they changed it. The old interface had a sort of elegance about it that really loved. Then they changed it completely and added an ugly animation desk behind the canvas whenever I animate and it drives me nuts. They switched all of tools around and they have different tools on every side of the screen instead of just two sides like before. The new interface looks completely juvenile and unprofessional. It looks like it was made for children under 5 years old. I implore that you give an option or an alternative to enable us to use the previous interface version again instead of forcing us to conform to the newer one. For now I’m going to switch to a different animation app until they make a change.

Love it. This app is really good for animation, drawings, and I’ve used it for photoshop making silly pictures before. One thing I think you need to do though is let us change the FPS after we save the animation. I have messed up my FPS before and only noticed it after I’ve drawn a very detailed frame. But besides that this app is amazing. I’m just beginning animating, and when I first got the app I couldn’t figure out how to do a lot of things in the app like adding in backgrounds, but after I messed with it for a couple of days I figured it out. So if you have trouble with the app at first don’t give up on it.

This was really hard to use.... As you can see from the title, I was having a lot of trouble using this app. It was a lot harder than I expected, and I’m not trying to be mean or anything, but I would definitely recommend flipaclip than this app. I’m a beginner in animation, and this made me think that animation is harder than I thought. Maybe I’m just being mean, rude, selfish and inconsiderate, but using this app was super complicated. I’d take 1 whole minute trying to find the opacity button. This would probably be useful to some other pro animators, but this is way too much in my opinion. Congratulations on making a successful animation game, this would be really helpful to some people, but to me, I am so confused where everything goes and how to make the video... Other than that, this is really a good game.
