Love this

For some reason, this app made me feel seen, my first animation I got a new follower and two people said welcome in the comments. It felt really good. My username is, Lun_Lun_lovee !

The best animation app

This is the best app ever no one can ever read this. Nothing can beat this not even what everybody thinks is the best animation app. This is the best.

Just yes

There may be advertisements, but otherwise, this app is the best, you can animate and you can just draw on a single frame is you donโ€™t want to animate but want to draw. And I love how you can go to one pixel for details, itโ€™s amazing. Whenever I canโ€™t find a good app for drawing and animation that doesnโ€™t charge me to be able to do this and that, I come back to here, and I love it. This is also where is first started to try animation, Folioscope is the best in my opinion, thank you devs for blessing me with this app, for I am thankful for this beautiful art program.

-also it doesnโ€™t have Ai features and I love that. Again, Thank you.

Best animation app!

Been using folio since 2018 and starting posting my animations in 2020, community is very friendly and caring, the app is very good for simple animations and reminds me of flipnote on the ds!
