Not bad, but could be better
I started looking for a simple animation tool to create short little animations that I could post. There weren’t a lot of options that worked for me, but FlipAnimation seemed promising!
First off, I love love love that there’s no subscription for the full version. I tried the app out, liked it enough to pay for the full version, but then noticed a couple things that aren’t detrimental, but definitely a headache.
1.) You can only have 1 layer in the free version. After paying for the full version, I started using layers, come to find out that you can’t move the layers around. This does not make animating impossible, but it is extremely difficult to plan for and work around. If that could be fixed, and layers can be freely moved, that would be much appreciated!
2.) There’s not a lot of options for drawing tools - the pencil seems to be the same as the pen, just not with a wispy trail. I know that’s not easy, and I assume more will be added over time as the app keeps updating, and I don’t mind waiting for more options to start rolling out!
These 2 issues is why I decided to drop a star off the rating. The other star, however was for a much more frustrating reason, considering I’ve now paid for this app and I’m really hoping to be able to still use it! The past couple days, after using the app for close to an hour, it started crashing on me. Luckily, all of my progress was still saved, and I didn’t lose even a single edit! Biggest relief. But, once it starts crashing and closing the app, it doesn’t stop :/ I just have to step away and wait to try again later. I downloaded the most recent update, wondering if maybe that was why, but it continued to crash even after. I *really* hope this doesn’t last and can be fixed soon!
This app is promising for what I plan to use it for, and I can’t wait to see what else it’ll bring as time goes on! I’d just like to be able to use it in the meantime is all! 🙏

Not much for people who want free stuff
I mean, yes there are free stuff but if i wanted to make a really cool animation i need to pay because the free minimum is 100, 100 frames seems like a lot but it’s not, plus quite a few of the lessons are premium only. Even though the 1 time payment is $12.99 or less or more (depending on where you live) what about kids or teens or just people who don’t pay for stuff. I know it seems like a big favor but I’m a person who is very new to animating and I KNOW though people who animate need more than 100 frames. This seems like a big favor but it’ll help this app get more popular and free (not entirely just enough for animators who don’t pay AT ALL for), Please acknowledge this. 100 frames seems like a lot but I am only halfway through my animation and already hit the limit. Please and thank you.

Great so far
Loving this and loving to learn animation so far. I haven't had a ton of time to spend with it, but really looking forward to keep using it. And learning more... for fun. My kids are loving it, too.
真的非常优秀专业
感谢开发如此优秀和专业的应用，一个小小的建议，就是希望在导出的时候支持去掉水印，免费版用户可以保留，但是完整版用户应该支持去掉水印，个人建议
Easy to use with Lots of tools
I love the shadow of the last drawing, makes it easy to draw the next slide . And being able to copy paste then alter means I don’t have to draw the same thing over and over again. Great app :)
Great app
Helping me get past the empty canvas, it’s fun!
New school Tool for Old School Cool
Exactly as an app should be and behave
Looking forward to seeing other people out put.
It’s a perfect way to learn to animate your Steamboat, Willy,

It ok but the thing is you can only do 3 animations and low-key annoying but other then that it grate so plz make it were we can make a lot more animations 👏🏻😫
Неудобство
сделаете так, что бы передвижение было только с двух пальцев, когда я пытаюсь что-то нарисовать у меня передвигается экран и мне приходится перезаходить, это максимально неудобно и бесит скриншот
Response from developer
Thank you very much for your feedback. We continue to improve the app based on your comments and ratings. Version 2.0.4 is available. Please share your feedback with us after trying it. Thank you again, and have a great day!
Amazing app!!!!
This is an amazing app but it’s very glitchy and sometimes it switches out my past slide and copies it for all of them. But overall great quality and great app! Also I think it would be nice if yo could add eyedrop. Thanks!!!
Not as easy i’m never playing this again
The beginner wasn’t easy. They made it a little bit too hard to animate if you’re our starter do not buy this game. It is clearly way too hard and I will give it a one star or a zero star if I could in the best way to learn to animate besides this boring game, give flip clip a chance I know it’s better then this horrible game

Pefect the one i was waiting for
Good
Amazing
Flip Animation is one of the most featurepacked creative apps I’ve used on mobile. The new Rotoscope feature lets me import videos and trace them frame by frame, which is perfect for learning realistic motion and creating smooth animations.
The app also includes more than 115 lessons covering the 12 principles of animation, walk cycles, effects, and mini scenes, so there’s always something new to practice. The drawing tools are accurate and responsive, playback is smooth, and the editor feels faster than ever.
If you’re an animator, artist, or someone who wants to explore animation, I highly recommend this app. It feels like having a complete 2D animation studio right in your pocket.

I really like this app and it's so easy to use. Please give it a try!
Animation Old School Style
Now I’m going to be completely honest and transparent in this review. I will also preface that I’m a digital animation student and have used many of the popular animation apps and software. On a social media where someone was promoting this app, they offered a free premium code for 48 hours, which I decided not to use. I wanted to try this app as someone just finding it and review it with the eyes of someone new.
As the title says, this feels like a really old school animation app, it’s not horrible but it takes some getting used to. The onion skin feature is wonky, where when you erase on one layer and go to another, the onion skin shows the erasure markings. Also you can only see the top layer onion skin, which totally throws off my key frames as I stopped doing straight ahead animation a while ago. You can’t select specific sections of a drawing and scale or rotate it, you can only scale the entire drawing. The pens actually feel pretty nice, there’s only a few to choose from and the smooth one is my favorite. The zoom feature felt a bit awkward at first too, that little hand in the corner is your friend. You are not able to move layers, and as a key frame artist who draws the key frames first and then goes in and does the inbetweens, you just have to hope the layer that you drew is in the right spot, you can’t even move copied layers which is a bummer. Also when you get out of your project and then go back in, your colors disappear and the brush sizes go to default, which wouldn’t usually be a problem but as far as I looked, I didn’t see a color picker tool.
Overall, I did not finish my animation at the time of writing this review, it just took too much time trying to look past the onion skin erasure marks to draw the next frame. Also I ended up giving this review 2 stars because of all the ai graphics, as someone else said, for someone promoting an app geared towards artists, you probably shouldn’t have your brand focused towards generated art. I am glad I did try out this app though, as long as it took, it was surprisingly easy to understand the UI once I got used to it.

Cool app
I can’t believe I found this. It’s perfect for an idea I had to have some custom animations on screen while I narrate.
Amazing!
Great app! Developer never disappoints on what it brings: top quality! A must try for anyone who wants to try animation! Recommended!
Very cool
Great app. My daughter can’t stop playing with it. Thanks
Wished I had something like this when I was a kid
Has all the tools one would need ( copy , transformations , shift frame , outline of previous frame ) combined with playback features ( e.g., video playback speed ) to create flip animations on an iOS device quickly and easily
