Amazing
Probably the best free animation app ive found that isnt flipaclip. heck maybe even better than it! ive been searching for a good while for a different animation program that has similar features to flipaclip, especially one that lets you add audio. i was very surprised to see there was already a colored onion skin you didnt have to pay for as well. the way it works definitely gives me medibang vibes which is out of my comfort zone but im for sure willing to get used to it :)Show lessV0IDSP1KES
Fixing my review
My old review was bad and uneducated so I decided to fix it! Animating in the app was pretty fun. But there are some cons but I’ll explain the pros first. The first thing I like about this app is the set up, it has a nice to look at setup and it’s easy to navigate. It have an option where you can import audio which is nice. You can add frames and layers easily. The brush, eraser, and paint bucket tool work fine, could be improved but still good. The key frames work fine. That’s all I could think of at the moment. Now onto the cons which are more important. So the first con is the layers, it’s hard to tell if you’re on the right layer since there’s no picture in the layer area to show the drawing on the layer you intend to draw on, also you can’t change the layer opacity. I drew on the wrong layer multiple times. The next problem is the brushes, the only ok brush tool is the hard brush, it’s too pixelated though. I think less pixelated brushes will make the art look better. Also the “lasoe” tool isn’t great. It’s hard to select exactly what you want. The transformation tool is hard too, it meshes instead of making it smaller (it hard for me to explain). The onion skin is also a bit annoying, you can’t turn it off, I couldn’t figure out how to turn it off. I also with you could change the background color without having to paint bucket an entire layer. Also whenever I used the colorpicker doesn’t colorpick the exact color. It alters it. Also I couldn’t use the audio feature since it crashes my iPad. Also when I exported my animation it completely altered the colors. They were completely different, they were opposites. I couldn’t fix it. In the app when it wasn’t exported that wasn’t a problem. That’s all I could think of. Overall I like this app, I had fun animating, and I have high hopes that this’ll be a good app! (Ps sometimes the undo and redo wouldn’t work, and I think it would be nice to have a line stablelizer.)Show lessStarieo
Great but…
The app is great just I can’t draw with the black color for some reason.SpikyCactus74
I like it....just one problem...
I like this app and I have no idea how I havent heard of this app before its very hidden in the app store 👀
But yea the app is good and I think it has a lot of potential but my only problem currently is the lack of ***good*** smooth brushes, all of the brushes are rough, i think it would become a wayy better software if there were more smoother brushesShow lessP0TAT0 :v
Export peoblems
Hi I love this app but when I export a peice the colors come out inverted?
I made a drawing on it that’s blur and it came out as a inverted greenishots good but?..
Great animation app! But there some things that can be added or fixed!
1) Add stabilized to draw a smooth line. (Very helpful with some artists!)
2) The lengths of how much you want to see previous frames (onion skin) which you can find an example on wick editor that is a animation program.
3) When I try all the brushes it does not look smooth but rough.
4) A feature that turn off the onion skin. (I don’t really know if there a feature but can’t find it.)
This app has great potential and can’t wait how far you can come in this app! :)Show lessfounmaker
Developer Response
Thanks for the feedback! I’m working on a big update to be released later this year that will include the brush stabilizer so you can get smoother lines. Also, in terms of onion skin, you can go to the gear icon in the top left corner of the opened animation and hit Edit. There you can change the number of frames for onion skin, or set them to 0 to effective turn it off. I will also be improving this experience in the next update!Colors are inverting?
Hey there!
I have been testing out this app so I can find a new animation program on my IPad! One of my main issues I just encountered is that the colors I have selected are saving almost inverted? Unsure if it is something my end or on the developers end.
But other than that, it is a good program so far.Show lessRamenPuff

Nice BUT Export File Misssing Color
Perfect for us old timer animators with simple tools and big work area, just what I need BUT... when exporting as MP4 animation with jpeg images in the frames, the color red/blue are switched or missing completely.. big issue. Help! I'll pay for a perfectly working app!!Syltheartist
