### 2/5 — 20 кадров, мама..

*2026-08-03*

С лимитом в 20 кадров невозможно сделать анимацию. Не, так то возможно.. Но это слишком мало, как то глупо наверное ставить лимит на количество кадров

### 3/5 — Good but not good enough

*2026-07-10*

I like this but when I make animations and play the animation it’s way too fast and I can’t control the speed and the app doesn’t have that much coulor options and sometimes the app crashes but it is good and that but I also can’t share my animations:( but other than that the app is good

### 3/5 — Тормоз

*2026-05-28*

Скачала приложение начала рисовать потом отошла буквально на 3 минуты возвращаюсь телефон выключен ну я включаю а он не туда не сюда приложение ваще не грузит оно загружается только один раз после скатывания

### 2/5 — I’m still fuming!

*2026-04-26, version 3.6*

The app itself is great, and fun. I spent like an hour making this animation and I needed to say that, but I needed to buy the premium to save it, and the app wouldn’t let me! So I tried something else, and then it erased my hour of hard work completely. Whoever made this app I already know your name, STUPID JERKS FROM HELL!

### 4/5 — Everything is locked

*2026-04-26, version 3.6*

Why is almost everything locked behind a paywall but it does get the job done

### 3/5 — Dude

*2026-02-19, version 3.4*

I love to animate but this is just…to do ANYTHING you have to buy buy buy like just use pro create instead it is much better

### 2/5 — …

*2026-02-10*

为什么我画完然后保存，再进去时里面我画的东西就全变成一样的了？就等于我画了好多时间，就完成了一幅图😭崩溃了

### 3/5 — You can’t use more then 20 frames

*2025-06-17, version 3.2*

I think this had some real potential as a animation app for me until I realized you could only use twenty frames for your animation…for me I could never but still

### 3/5 — Fix this please

*2025-02-24, version 3.2*

Hello I just got this app I see good things so far but there is something I don’t like, the only colors you can have are red blue grey black. Pls change that I don’t like it

### 3/5 — Pour animer des croquis

*2025-01-12*

Cette appli est faite pour animer des croquis. Donc crayons et couleurs de base. Dommage que les couleurs « chair » ont été enlevées depuis la dernière mise a jour. En contrepartie, on gagne des calques supplémentaires. L’outil « sélection » laisse toujours une ligne fine, c’est embêtant. Le plus décevant est de devoir payer pour exporter nos projets : donc la version gratuite à peu d’intérêt.

### 4/5 — Give us more color!,

*2024-10-26, version 3.2*

Unless you have premium, you do not have enough colors for an animation just give us some more colors like I’m not paying money for colors

### 4/5 — EVERYTHING IS PRO.

*2024-07-28, version 3.2*

Basically, I just hope the developers hear this when I say I can not even find the make audio button. I can not make a single animation I have made on FlipaClip. I also hope that not almost everything is for the pros.because I keep on having to get pro just to make a single movie. Again, hope the developers hear this….
THE END

### 2/5 — Not that good

*2024-05-19, version 3.2*

I though that this was gong to be better but Evelyn time I draw the draw in g more from place and the background to

### 1/5 — Great if it would stop crashing!

*2024-03-28, version 3.2*

I loved it so much I bought the upgraded version and was happily making my first animation.

Then the program crashed without warning.

And it did not save, i guess autosave has to be manually turned on even on the pro version? so all my work was lost :(

### 1/5 — Crashes a lot!

*2024-01-10, version 3.2*

Nice program _ but it crashes constantly.

### 1/5 — NOPE

*2023-12-16, version 3.2*

I was leaking in the back alley for some great animation program and I thought this was the one no it wasn’t. I like flipaclip better there’s so much more you can do and flipacilp then in this app.

### 3/5 — Animation and color

*2023-11-21*

I like the animation a lot but I don’t like how we have to pay for other colors and this is the only animation I could find for my iPad and my mom told me she ain’t going to pay just for this so if they could take the payment off that would be helpful because then I’m just stuck with bleh colors and I like having more colors instead of red,blue,black,white and grey so plz update this and stop having people pay

### 2/5 — The Truth

*2023-11-06, version 3.2*

I downloaded the app. I expected Pro was just for cooler stuff. But you can’t even save your animations without Pro! It’s so annoying. The animation sketching is very nice, but it is so frustrating how you cannot save an animation or even go beyond twenty frames without Pro. That is why I installed Flip Studio.

### 1/5 — Sucks

*2026-05-26, version 3.6*

You only have too many frames. You can’t change the frames per second. It’s all locked behind a pay wall.

### 1/5 — Bad

*2026-04-24, version 3.6*

You have to pay for stuff

### 1/5 — Bad…just so close to being good

*2026-03-30*

So this app is good-layers,onions,pixel thickness- but I CANT SAVE AN ANIMATION FOR THE LIFE OF ME! I tried for so long. An app should make options obviously available.If I have to look up options, search the app, look up how to save animations, and more; then clearly, the makers of this app should try a little harder to make things accessible for users. Truly disappointing.

### 1/5 — Bad.

*2026-03-03, version 3.4*

Costs 8 dollars to have all the colors. Unenjoyable.

### 1/5 — This is not what you think it is

*2025-11-23, version 3.2*

First of all, this is not an animation. I’m clearly trying to draw and it’s nothing can import my videos. This app is the dumbest app I’ve ever had just developer. I think this app should be banned around the world like in every country. I thought it would not be like watching on a YouTube platform, but this is the worst can’t even draw second of all. I don’t think I can even draw on this I mean, that’s the second time I’ve said I can’t draw on this, but anyways this app should be banned bye 🧤😡 animation, sketch

### 1/5 — Can’t even use it

*2025-09-16, version 3.2*

I can’t even use it. It says something about not able to load purcheges and kicks me out of the app. Please fix. I’m begging. It’s annoying. My IPad is up to date. I don’t know what’s wrong.

### 1/5 — Me no likely

*2025-03-14, version 3.2*

I don't like it how do you play this

### 1/5 — Nothing but greed

*2025-01-26, version 3.2*

It’s just so greedy like no one can make a full like short because they can only make 20 frames without emptying their wallet

### 1/5 — It was fun but

*2024-06-06, version 3.2*

I liked it so far but the tutorial is very bad and to save progress you have to pay and you can’t import something and there is a library of animations but that is also money almost everything is money and the adds were so cool but in game it’s not

### 1/5 — You have to PAY

*2024-06-02, version 3.2*

You can do practically nothing without paying.
It’s just stupid , if I knew it cost money I would never have gotten it!!!😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2022-07-20*

I spent a long time trying to find a simple animation app, this is by far the best, and easiest! I highly recommend this fabulous app. Plus it’s free so if you’re not satisfied you have nothing to loose!

### 5/5 — One thing I want

*2022-04-19*

Everything is amazing I just want a teaching side of it where it’s like you trace something for each page on a like someone else’s animation to make yours perfect and get started on animating. But everything else is amazing

### 5/5 — It is good

*2022-04-13, version 2.1*

The app is very useful when I need to do my job

### 5/5 — The best drawing game in the world😆😆🥰

*2022-03-07, version 2.1*

Oh my God I love this app I do a bunch of sketches and I do a lot of the artwork in it and it’s just so good I legit pay for it and yeah it’s 100% out of 100% good I love it

### 5/5 — Really fun app!

*2022-02-19*

This is a really nice app for the whole family. We have made some funny things. I’m a person who knows nothing about animating and just does this to kill time. The only thing I do not like is how you have a limited number of frames and Coker choices. But we still enjoyed it!
