Good but I got bored

It’s not that it’s bad but I don’t use it much because I’m horrible at drawing on my phone

私にとって作業効率化できないアプリ

固まると、ドローイングが消える。選択範囲を囲っている時にアプリが落ちると、ドローイングが消える。
このようなことは、少なくとも私は、他の真っ当なイラストのアプリでは体験したことがないです。
はっきり言って3000円もするクオリティではないように思います。修正してほしいです。

It’s alright, but with serious issues

Personally this is the second animation app I’ve used and I’m quite underwhelmed. Many of the tools I use don’t function in a way that I can quite get comfortable with. The pencil tool is fine, but the pen no matter what I do always fluctuates and is only smooth for a few seconds.
Also all my work got deleted and replaced with one empty frame so I’m quite annoyed by that
Extra things:
I cannot understand the settings for the different brushes, like seriously it’s all gibberish to me

Buggy

Getting a weird reflection. The frames are superimposed with a flipped image of one of the frames. Impossible to use.

Thank you for your support! We're glad you like Animation Desk. Enjoy your day :)

It’s too glitchy to use

More often than not I get a weird glitch where whatever layer I select mirrors itself. It makes animating impossible and the app unusable. What a shame, I was really looking forward to using it. I want a refund.

So disapointed and angry

i bought the pro version, sorry people but it's not finished.it basically can alone remove drawing, then alone decides to copy/paste OVER the previous frame, sometimes replace it, it flips them and all that listen carefully: with NO UNDO POSSIBLE. I precise I make no bad move, Im a pro and used to animate. I try many projects over this app and coudlln't go further than 2 frames it can in ONE MOVE completely screw ure project. I had many frames replaced by further ones, with I repeat: NO UNDO POSSIBLE. a false move over the timeline by left-right sliding with your hand, and ure drawing is duplicate and flipped, with NO UNDO POSSIBLE! ure layer is unusable, u have to redraw everything. sometimes color in blue some lines, not all, when it decides ...I just want to storyboard though... cant imagine animate complex scenes with it. EWWW

Animation Desk is glitchy

After 400+ frames, my animation started to corrupt its later frames. At first, I thought it was only affecting newer frames, but not only is Animation Desk not letting me progress past Frame 447 without deleting the later frames, one of my other earlier frames had its Layer 1 replaced by Frame 447’s Layer 1.

Be careful of your animations

Really bad

Do yourself a favor and just use Flipaclip. It’s software is actually competent and the premium upgrade for it costs half as much as this bad app.

Sehr schlecht…

Eh

It’s a pretty good tool, but it fully deletes some of the frames sometimes, or replaces some frames with other frames from a completely different part. You can not get the back after that happens and I am very traumatized.

Wonderful design, corrupts animations after creation.

No matter how nice the software is to use, it seems to randomly corrupt layered animations. Frames just seem to get swapped or go missing or even deleted without any warning.

No idea if it’s a data or interface issue, but it’s fatal for anything more than a toy.

Don’t get ripped

I wanted their best apps to review and compare against the field…didn’t notice the ultimaate till inside the already purchased apps…I sucked it up and went for the ultimate bundle and accident.y chose a 3pack instead of the 4…so another overpay and hours wasting time with an uncaring or poorly programmed support bot. Get adobe cc and any of a million apps free that will serve you better than this obvious plan to gradually trim your pockets sans added value of commensurate worth.

Premium No Longer - HARD PASS

This was previously a premium app that you could buy. Now, though, it’s chock full of in-app purchases and subscriptions. Literally zero difference from the free, standard version. Disgusting and shameful.

There are tons of better premium animation apps available on the App Store - Folioscope, Animation Creator (the premium version), Flipaklip, etc.

I see no reason at all to rent this app and waste money every month on it, when there are so many better options available for one single price each. To each their own but I refuse to rent my applications. Especially ones with so little changing and new content. Shameful.

Laggy and buggy

It’s a slog to use and feels clunky. You’ll be drawing a line and have it take a split second for it to register. Flipping between panels isn’t all that great either, It keeps getting stuck between the first and second panel when trying to click on panel 1. A prompt keeps popping up to tell me something about my apple pencil and then disappears before I can even read whatever non-issue I have. It’s a serviceable animation application, honestly it’s probably the best one on IPad, but it is in serious need of patches and work before it would even be remotely worth $20.
