### 5/5 — Easy and works well

*2026-02-09, version 2.2.7*

Made a number of videos with my kids and imported them into iMovie. Works really well and is free. Highly recommended

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2026-01-10, version 2.2.7*

My 7-year-old son watched the 8 tutorials in successions and then got straight to work. His results blew my mind! This app is one of the most generous of those available for free, and works amazingly well. Thank you so much, Aardman, for inspiring the next generation of animators (and me!) Truly fantastic. 🙏🏼

### 4/5 — It’s ok

*2025-09-20, version 2.2.7*

I was about to go on it until it just came up black i dont know how or why it happened please fix it I can’t do anything

### 3/5 — Should support Bluetooth buttons

*2025-09-09, version 2.2.7*

Nice and simple app which is lovely but our selfie button doesn’t work as a take picture button. This is a shame as touching the phone screen does shake the screen

### 5/5 — Amazing app

*2025-08-15, version 2.2.7*

Fun, easy to use and I am also a video editor so this really helps

### 1/5 — Reasons for good and reasons for bad.

*2025-07-20, version 2.2.7*

It’s good because you can make animations and movies..

What ruined it is it’s not saving when i wanna change the speed.

If you see this review then please let us save when we wanna make faster or slower speeds, and add more speeds to it.

Edit: Nvm I Take It Back, Your Game Is Awesome, But Please Make Slower Speeds, I Wanna Make Videos To!

### 1/5 — Game is dookie and unplayable

*2025-05-21, version 2.2.7*

I didn’t understand what to do in the game, there was no tutorial and no context on what to do. I was sitting there wondering for hours what to do on lvl one and it made zero sense. If anyone knows how to play this game please leave a YouTube tutorial on how to beat the first level.

### 5/5 — The little zooming problem

*2025-04-30, version 2.2.7*

The App Is AMAZING I LOVE IT SO MUCH I CAN DO MY ANIMATION but there’s a tiny problem when it gets to zooming in like it doesn’t let me zoom in with my camera and out at all so is there any way to fix that?

### 4/5 — needs a remote shutter

*2025-04-01, version 2.2.7*

Great app! I think my grandchildren will have great fun with it! Sadly, it won't work with my AB Shutter3 remote bluetooth shutter on my iPad. A remote shutter is essential to prevent camera shake.

### 5/5 — Perfect lil app

*2025-02-25, version 2.2.7*

Super easy to use and FREE?! I was stoked to find this for making stop motion videos. Thanks for the creator(s)!
