Desperate for an upgrade

Please. Devs. Add option to input keyframes.. I use 800+ … manually pressing the button so many times is painful.

It’s amazing

I hope you continue updating this app, I would love to see more layers, group them and maybe to set export size settings, It is a very enjoyable experience to animate with this app :)

1 star I can’t even draw

DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS GAME I AM ABOUT TO DELETE IT FROM MY CLOUD

No funciona

La aplicación se cierra y nunca más vuelve a funcionar, solo tira pantallazo negro y se vuelve a cerrar

No other animation app like this

If you’re a professional looking for a serious tool to create polished animations—with lots of features to streamline your workflow—this app isn’t for you.

Looom isn’t built for that. It’s not for doodles or rough sketches either. It’s for making abstract art, playing around with its quirky tools, and experimenting in ways no other animation app really allows.

This is an animator’s playground. A place to relax, unwind, and just have fun. It’s not about finished products—it’s about the process, the play, the discovery.

There are plenty of apps out there for serious work. We don’t need another one. Looom is perfect for what it is—and honestly, it’s just a blast to use.
