I hope it gets a boost to iOS 11 so it can stay viable; it would worth a paid upgrade. ### 3/5 — Needs serious updates *2017-08-24, version 1.8* Saves grainy pixelated individual stills to camera roll. Glitchy. Splotches and circles often appear when you want to draw. Will not work w iOS 11 unless they make an update. Please do. I really want to use this ### 3/5 — Eh *2016-05-07, version 1.8* I mean, it's great, but there are only 3 colors and you can't save your progress bECAUSE I LOST SOMETHING THAT I SPENT 2 FOOKING HOURS ON ### 5/5 — Love this app *2016-04-08, version 1.8* Simply amazing and fun miss tumblr integration to find my old stuff but still great ### 2/5 — Frustrating *2016-03-12, version 1.8* Nice concept, but the use of the software makes no logical sense.... And there is no help... ### 3/5 — The beauty is in the simplicity, but so is the frustration *2016-02-02, version 1.8* I have a lot of fun with this easy-to-use animation app. Three colors, several slides... All you need is time, imagination and patience. I am giving this app three stars today because while I really liked it, there were a few features missing that I think would enhance the app. Without them now can be an exercise in futility. 1)No undo button! This would have saved me so much time, instead of doing the entire slide over every time the (very sensitive) colors went haywire on me. 2)No save, or 'in progress' feature. I was working on an animation last night and got too tired to finish. I thought hey I'll just pick this up tomorrow. NOPE!! How wrong I was! It's now completely done, and I put at least an hour and a half into it already. ;_; All in all, if you have the patience to finish an animation in one go, this simplistic app is what I would recommend. The developers should take a look at the comments here and take to heart what their fans are saying about their toolset. Just a few tweaks and this app could be my favorite. ### 3/5 — Rad little app *2016-01-12, version 1.8* Love the idea of small minimalistic stop motion videos. It's easy to use and fun. An undo button would be helpful, but my main problem is that I can't save what I have made. Which is the biggest bummer ever. Ive emailed it to myself and used their save to camera roll option but it just saves as a single frame and not as a stop motion video. Even when emailed to myself I can see the video in the bulk of the email but I can't save it. So although it is rad and fun it is useless without being able to personally save videos. :( ### 2/5 — Play button not working *2015-04-04, version 1.8* Liked the app & it worked a few times but then after drawing another whole 'movie' the play button doesn't function. App support link goes to the website gallery and I see others have been successful. Really wish it worked! It's a great concept. ### 2/5 — Good EXAMPLE but lacks basic functions *2015-02-25, version 1.8* I am happy with the frame making. But everything else is lacking. Suggested improvements: at least basic colors, color filler (like the paint bucket), improve brushing, add selections (drag a box to select anything inside, or selections by color), moving/translating tools to work with selections, erasing by selection, remove stroke/brush eraser, zoom, copy/paste, scale tool (suggest selection tool, pinch to scale) rotate tool (suggest selection tool, spin two fingers to rotate). ## Frequently asked questions about Loop ### What can I create with this app?
