Reviews of Animation Desk® Draw & Animate

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.
