URGENT!, developers need to hear this

It 100% needs to add sound, sound would be great for the animations pls, we need sound!

Amazing

I think this app is amazing because it replicates the simple aspect of animation and also reminds me of animating on the 3ds, I think that this app is amazing but needs 1 thing that I think would top it off, the ability to change the size of the canvas. Then you could really replicate the size of the 3ds and animate at whatever size you feel comfortable with.

amazing

640x480 pixel canvas. It’s very simple, and that is what i love about it. only a 17 color palette to work with, but using some of the tools, you can create custom colors. You can share your animations with a small community on the app. I’ve used dozens of animation apps, but Folioscope is the only one that stuck with me. (Also, concerning the frequency of the ads—which has been a problem for many users—they have very recently been reduced. They will no longer show in the editor, and will appear less using the community features)

Foliscope is so good!

This app lets you make animations very quickly. They should add a music placer too so your animation will be very hyper.

Great

I love this game it helps me animate and it’s free all apps like these aren’t free. Only thing I need help with is how to get my picture on my profile or just a drawing for it
