Ok, so I’ve been looking for something free to animate with that’s more professional than flipa clip, and it’s been hard, but I found this and it’s SOO much better, and I’d recommend it to
someone who is a little bit experienced in animating and wanting to lift off of things like flipa clip.

Summary: the best software you will get for free

Stop flipping my drawings upside down

Animation desk is a great software but it has a very annoying feature where it keeps flipping my drawings upside down when I don’t want it to. It is the exact opposite of helpful and whoever came up with it deserves to be fired. If it’s a bug then please correct it. Thank you

It keeps on glitching and I can’t do anything.

I’m trying to make an animation, and every time that I exit the layer one of three things happen:
1. It flips itself upside down on top of the previous drawing(which is annoying to erase and I just clear the whole layer at that point)
2. It pastes the background onto the layer that I’m drawing on randomly with the opacity on max.
3. It makes the lineart thicker. I know this isn’t that big of a deal, but it makes it look a lot worse.

I literally cannot do anything. Paired with the fact that I can only use 3 layers, this app just isn’t the best. I’ve restarted my device multiple times and closed out all other apps, and it does nothing. I’ve given up. If I could give a 0, I would. This would be an amazing app if only I could use it.

Erm..

Uhh the reviews seems like im cooked, anyone got any other free animation tools I could use?

It tried to install a virus

I wish I can leave zero stars because this put a operation catche on my phone after I saw it in the files app and luckily my iPhone security found it and showed it to me. It had a bunch of Chinese letters and stuff on it and on the system catche folder it showed a bunch of random GB of random Chinese letters DO NOT INSTALL THIS
