### 3/5 — IT GOOD BUT-

*2026-08-26, version 1.47*

ONLY FOR 30SEC!? PEOPLE WANT TO MAKE SHoWS AND StUFF and LIMT IS 300!? WELL AT LEST U CAN GET PReMUM.

### 4/5 — AWESOME!.... However....

*2026-08-25, version 1.47*

So first off, I love this app, I've looked all over the app store for an animation app that isn't just "WATCH FIFTY ADDS FOR ANOTHER FRAME OR PAY US 2BILLION DOLLARS A DAY FOR AN ADD FREE EXPERIENCE- YOU KNOW WHAT GIVEUSYOURMONEYGIVEUSYOURMONEY GIVE US YOUR DANG MONEY!" and this is the one! However... The time limit is a little short, could you change it to at least 1 minute per post? And you need to change another thing,I have a post that is exactly 30 seconds and the limit is 30 seconds,however I cannot post it! So I would give 5 stars, but until this is fixed, I'm staying at 4, I'd give it a 4 and a half but I cannot do that. I hope you see this message.and I hope you consider the change or at least the bug fix.
