Ratings and Reviews
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!

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.
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.

Hi, we are sorry for the inconvenience that it might have caused. The app won't delete any existing sequences, and the app should automatically save changes. Thank you for reporting this issue, we will check on these problems soon.
