Horrible

This app is great! If you like nonstop crashing and random glitch outs! Please fix this.

DON’T USE THIS APP!

When I was on this app, I was like working on a storyboard, but it keeps crashing and makes me lose my progress! I am so mad!

DO NOT USE. I Lost ALL my progress even on a saved board

I storyboarded almost my whole episode. I saved it over multiple days. Right now, it crashed and my file is NO WHERE. Its just gone. This is horrible. Is there any way I can get my lost work back???? Not using again unless this is fixed.

This sucks!

Dude! i cant even use this! i try to import files, and it is too big and takes up the ENTIRE canvas! I cant get flipaclip on my mackbook, so i choose this. Why not try to make this app better?!? im deleting this app.

Super upset

I’ve been using the app for a while and it does exactly what I need. But today, while working in another project, one project just disappeared into thin air. I didn’t press anything or even open it. Is there any way to restore previous projects?

Crashes

the app is awesome, simple to use and very usefull. only complaint is that it repeatedly crashes and each time i loose my last few strokes. it seems to be that it can’t handle multiple strokes in a short period of time, but this does slow me down a bit

Edit: it wiped all my frames, i managed to screenshot the cached onionlayer before it got overwritten and I’m working on reversing the colour transform but please be very carefull using this app.

it gliched out not that good

so after i opened it it gliched and yea proboly because my mac is like 1 mil years old but i think i know how to fix it

Good but constant crashes

Every five minutes the app crashes, very frustrating as it deletes progress

Deletes my saved files when I try to open them

I saved mutiple things and when I opened them, the app just deleted all of my drawing even tho the layers were still there. That's such an insane glitch to not catch.

Its… Useable?

The layout is pretty simple and easy to navigate, some features like adjusting the length of a frame are pretty hard to find but other than that it’s fine. There’s no ads, so that’s pretty nice as well. Definitely has its problems though. There’s no autosave, so if you quit the app without manually saving your project, it’s gone. As far as I know there’s only one brush to use, and it’s VERY sensitive whenever you change its size, so it’s hard to get to a brush size you’re happy with. My biggest issue with the app though is that there’s no undo and redo shortcuts. I’m very used to Control Z and Control Y to easily undo and redo, but on here, you have to click the buttons to do so, which is really annoying. I’ve noticed that most of the reviews for this app date back to 4+ years ago and almost all of them mentioned at least one of the things I’ve listed, meaning that the devs know about these issues but do nothing to improve them. I honestly wouldn’t even recommend this to a beginner. If you’re just bored though and don’t mind doing things the mildly irritating way, then go ahead and try this out.. Wouldn’t recommend it for serious projects though.

wont stop crashing

when I try to start a project the app just crashes very disapointed

1 think theres 4 bug or sum

when 1 try to do anything at all it gives me an eror code and says 1 need to reopne it but it doesnt work AT ALL

I am having the same error leeum

I cannot even make a canvas without it crashing moreover type in the text boxes or animate on this horrible app, just takes up storage space. IF YOU SEE THIS HEED MY WARNING

Unstable

The app keeps closing out and loses saved material on an iPad Pro 12

Bugs

I’ve just got this a d it keeps dropping out on me while I’m sketching

The app keeps deleting previous drawings

The app keeps deleting previous drawings, any time I select an older drawing it automatically deletes it , I’ve no idea how to undo it as the app doesn’t allow me to reverse it, please fix this please

What on earth is this

I’m sorry, and this had so much potential, but it was ruined. Why? Every 10 seconds, no joke, it crashes. Not to mention the eraser not working, the rotation being horrible and I couldn’t handle it.

how do I type in the text boxes????

this for me is good but the only thing i can't do is use the text boxes when i try to type in them it will not let me

I love it it’s just…

Listen, audio is a must. I know it’s an upcoming feature but this is four years old!

Crashes constantly

I know you’re never gonna update this app again but it crashes like crazy. Can’t get a single thing done because it keeps happening and won’t save the changes I’ve made. It’s a shame because the bare bones features here work well for animated storyboarding and no other app has figured that out yet. Please fix it!!!
