…hate it

You can barely draw it’s tiny on Phone and you have to have a Apple Pencil if you wanna draw detail
😔✌️🙏😔✌️🙏

It's fine

It's good for animation and you can easily clone a frame along with you can add colors but the problem is you can't add sound and you have to buy editing that's what takes away 2 of the stars so I rate it 3 stars it's good

Many options, but not good

I made a flip book and then closed the document but then it disappeared and it wasn’t even in the deleted documents section. I don’t know how to get it back.😭

love it but...

i absolutely love this app, it has no ads and you can have as many frames as you want for FREE. But... i want them to add sounds and music but like a library of songs and sounds because idk how to do that save your songs and stuff... plus it would be wayyy easier to just pick it out. but overall very good app recommend getting 👍🏻

Best app by far!

This is my new favorite app, I couldn’t find any good animation apps until this one, I want to be an animator YouTuber and I will definitely give this app the credit! I don’t understand how people can make such good apps!
