*2026-03-15, version 2.1.0*

I love this app! My art teacher knows I love art and making animations, and recommended it to me! This app is simple and helped my make my first show, blob friends! This, (in my preference) is the best app for stop motion on my iPad, but recently it started glitching. I had just updated the app and when ever I tried to open it, it would go white and then send me back to the Home Screen. Do you have any idea of how to fix it?

### 5/5 — Great

*2026-03-15, version 2.1.0*

Honestly, this is better than the stop motion app, but I wish you could turn your iPad (or iPhone) to shoot. And I’m just starting to make time-lapses, and this is great for them. And, there is no preview button! If you made an update please add a preview button. Cause ain’t no one exporting their vid after every frame. Ty, Hope this helps!
