Draw it. Flip it. Loop it. DoodLoop is a frame-by-frame animation studio for iPad and iPhone, built for Apple Pencil and just as happy with a finger. Sketch a drawing, change it a little on the next frame, and watch your cartoon come to life on a loop. No ads, no watermarks, no subscription. Your cartoons, your files, yours. DRAW • Apple Pencil pressure and tilt, tuned for line work, on paper that behaves like paper. Drawing with a finger gets a stroke stabiliser, so a shaky line comes out smooth. • A full kit: brushes, eraser, fill, smudge and blur, shapes (line, rectangle, ellipse, triangle, star and more), text, and symmetry. • Layers with blend modes: sketch below, ink above, shade on top. ANIMATE • A timeline made for flipping, with duplicate, reorder, and holds. • Onion skinning ghosts the frame before and after, like tracing paper on a lightbox. • Set the frame rate, lift the pencil, and your animation plays while you keep tweaking. SOUND & SHARE • Record your voice or sound effects right in the app and line them up with your frames. • Export clean, full-resolution MP4 video, animated GIF, or a PNG image sequence. Never watermarked. OWN YOUR WORK • Every project is a real .doodloop file in the Files app: browse it, copy it, back it up anywhere. • One-tap backup and restore for your whole library. • Import your existing FlipaClip projects and keep animating. FREE TO START • Download DoodLoop free and start animating today. • One optional, one-time Pro unlock opens up higher frame rates, larger canvases, and pro export formats. No monthly fee, no rented features, ever. DoodLoop is made by Nubisco, Lda. Questions, bug reports, or ideas? A human who actually works on the app will answer. ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: Free. **One-time purchases** | Purchase | Price | Type | | --- | --- | --- | | DoodLoop Pro | $6.99 | one-time | ## Version history (last 5 releases) ### 1.1.0 — 2026-09-26 DoodLoop runs on iPhone now, it speaks two more languages, and selections grew into a full transform kit. NOW ON IPHONE The same DoodLoop, the whole of it, on the phone in your pocket. Nothing was cut to fit: every brush, every layer, the timeline, audio and export are all there. The tool panel turns into a bar over the canvas where there is no width to spare, and you can drag it to the top or the bottom to suit how you work. Turn the phone on its side and it goes back to being a column beside the canvas, because sideways it is height that is short, not width. Tap the arrows in the top bar and the bars get out of the way altogether, leaving nothing but canvas. IN YOUR LANGUAGE DoodLoop is now in Spanish and Portuguese as well as English. Every brush name, every menu, every prompt, and the getting-started guide too. SELECT IT, THEN DO ANYTHING TO IT One tap grabs everything on the current layer, or lasso just the part you want. Move it, resize it, squash and stretch it along one axis, rotate it, flip it. And now: pull it into perspective. A new corner-pin mode on the selection bar lets you drag each corner on its own, for signs, screens, and cast shadows. However long you experiment, DoodLoop keeps resampling from the pixels you first picked up, so nothing goes muddy before you tap Done. Changed your mind? There is a Cancel button now, and it puts everything back exactly as it was. HOLDS YOU CAN SET Touch and hold a frame and give it a hold: it stays on screen for two, three, or twelve steps, and its badge says so in the strip. The player, the audio playhead, and every export now count held frames the same way, so what you preview is what you get. CHANGE THE FRAME RATE ANY TIME The fps chip above the timeline changes a project's frame rate after creation. No frames are added or dropped: the same drawings just play faster or slower. DRAG FRAMES INTO ORDER Reorder frames by dragging them in the Frames Viewer, the way you always expected to. MERGE LAYERS Merge Down bakes a layer onto the one below, on every frame, exactly as it looks on the canvas: opacity, blend mode, and clipping included. It asks first, because it touches the whole project. NOTES ON A FRAME Touch and hold a frame and write yourself a line about it: "extreme pose here", "fix the left hand". The frame carries a small badge so you can find it again. Notes are never drawn on your artwork and never appear in an export, and they are free. The hand-drawn markup you scribble on a frame is now called an annotation, so the two are easy to tell apart: an annotation is drawn on the frame, a note is written about it. THE TOOL PANEL FOLLOWS YOUR FINGER Dragging the panel used to move it at half your finger's speed, so a drag across the screen left it stranded in the middle, and it could snap back to the side it came from. It tracks one-to-one now. ### 1.0.3 — 2026-09-05 Last time we fixed what you reported. This time we went looking for what you hadn’t reported yet, and added nineteen brushes while we were in there. NINETEEN NEW BRUSHES Forty in all now, in groups you can actually find your way around: Drawing, Shading & Texture, Halftone, Patterns & Shapes, Nature & Decoration, and 3D. Halftone shades like print, with the dot grid locked to the canvas so it doesn’t slide around under your hand. Dash, Saw, and Heartbeat run their pattern along the stroke and keep their rhythm no matter what size you draw at. Hair and Fur lay down a clump of strands in a single drag. Leaves, Sparkles, Gear, Dots, and Mosaic stamp as you go. And four of them change color while you draw: Gradient sweeps through hues along the stroke, Sprinkles scatters them, and 3D Brush and 3D Candy Cane come out shaded like a rounded tube. The color you pick is the starting point for all four, so the color well still steers them. A TOOL PANEL YOU CAN MOVE Tools, and the settings for the tool in your hand, are now one card that floats over your drawing instead of a strip taking a bite out of it. Tools at the top, size and color below them, and mirror, ruler, and notes at the bottom. The middle changes with the tool, so what you’re shown is what applies. Drag the handle at the top to park the card on either side of the canvas, at whatever height suits you, and it stays there next time. Fit has moved up beside undo, where it appears the moment you zoom or pan and disappears once the canvas is back. EVERY TOOL REMEMBERS ITS OWN SIZE AND COLOR Reach for the eraser and go back to the brush and your brush is the size you left it. Same for color, and for the note pen and note eraser, which no longer share one width. SELECTIONS The selection box now hugs what you actually drew instead of the rectangle you swept, so you stop dragging a slab of empty canvas around. Copying after you’ve scaled or rotated something now copies what you can see, not the original. Drawing a new selection while one is floating starts a new selection instead of grabbing the old one. A selection that catches nothing no longer leaves you an empty box with handles on it. YOUR PROJECTS CAN’T TAKE EACH OTHER DOWN If you had ever copied a project in the Files app, the copy and the original counted as the same project: deleting one deleted both. Naming a project with a leading dot also used to make it vanish from your library for good. TRANSPARENT BACKGROUNDS ARE ACTUALLY TRANSPARENT Exporting a transparent project used to bake the gray checkerboard into every frame. GIF, APNG, and PNG now keep real transparency, and video gets a clean background. If a frame can’t be rendered, the export stops and says so instead of quietly leaving it out. SOUND Deleting a clip you were listening to now stops it. Recording a take, deleting it, and recording again no longer plays the deleted one. Trimming a clip adjusts its fades to fit, instead of leaving a long fade that made exported audio almost silent. BIG EXPORTS DON’T RUN OUT OF MEMORY Exporting a long or large GIF or APNG used to build the whole animation in memory before writing anything, which could kill the app outright on a 4K export or a long one. Frames are written as they’re made now. ALSO A square shape and a square guide, both aspect-locked, plus a circle. You can delete your own brushes from My Brushes. Tapping a frame and drawing right away lands the stroke instead of losing it. Undoing after a selection no longer takes a bite out of your drawing. Strokes are steadier: a dab could occasionally be laid down in another dab’s place, which showed up as a stray bump or gap in a fast line. Icon-only buttons now say what they do to VoiceOver. Almost none of this came from a bug report. We went and looked. ### 1.0.2 — 2026-09-01 A repair release. Most of these were quietly damaging work rather than annoying you on screen, so the short version is: your drawings are safer now. YOUR ARTWORK STAYS WHERE YOU PUT IT Selecting part of a drawing and then leaving the project used to delete what you had selected. It does not any more. A selection also no longer rides onto another frame when you add or delete frames, and no longer lands on the wrong layer. UNDO YOU CAN TRUST Undo no longer quietly switches which layer you are drawing on, so strokes stop landing in the wrong place. Locking a layer keeps your undo history instead of throwing it away, and unlocking gives it straight back. HIDDEN LAYERS STAY HIDDEN Hiding a layer, or changing its opacity or blend, now applies to your whole animation. Before, it only changed the frame you were looking at, so playback and exported video still showed it. MOVING AROUND THE CANVAS Two fingers always zoom and pan, even with something selected. Selections are now scaled and rotated with handles on the selection box, including a rotate knob. The ruler appears in the middle of what you are looking at instead of somewhere off screen. TEXT Text no longer gets cut off at the edge of the canvas, and long words wrap instead of running off the side. LAYERS AND SMALL SCREENS Rename, duplicate and delete are now visible on every layer instead of hidden behind a long press. Tool panels fit on smaller iPads and scroll when they need to. Thank you to everyone who wrote in. Almost everything here came from a report from someone using the app. ### 1.0.1 — 2026-08-29 Four things you told us were getting in the way, plus a faster way to reach us. YOUR BRUSH STAYS PUT DoodLoop now remembers the tool setup of every project: brush size, eraser size, color, opacity, and the tool you were holding. Leave a drawing and come back tomorrow and it is exactly as you left it, instead of resetting to a size 24 brush. ZOOM WHERE YOUR FINGERS ARE Pinching now zooms around the point between your fingers instead of the middle of the canvas. The drawing stays under your hand while you zoom out, so it no longer drifts away and leaves you looking at empty space. NO MORE ACCIDENTAL TILT Two-finger rotation now resists a little, so zooming no longer knocks your canvas off level. When the canvas is tilted, a new button next to Undo shows the angle: tap it and the canvas spins straight again, zoom and position untouched. SEE THE SIZE YOU ARE SETTING Dragging the size dot floats a big number above your finger, so the number you are aiming for is not hidden under your hand. TALK TO US DIRECTLY Settings now has "Send feedback / get support", which opens our contact form so you can write to us in one tap. Reporting a bug is one tap too, with your app and device details already attached. A human who actually works on DoodLoop answers. ### 1.0 — 2026-08-27 No release notes. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
