Good app, but too much lag sometimes.

So, I just started using this app yesterday, but it sometimes I put my finger down while drawing a single stroke in the frame, and it just crashes and goes to the Home Screen. It’s a very fun and creative app, just get rid of that lag the next update.

Good but needs a few fixes

I really like this app with animating because it’s not as laggy as the other one. But it does kick me out a few times. Some of the frames show nothing after I drawn on them. Still a pretty good app, but does need a few bugs sorted out.
