### 4/5 — Good app, but too much lag sometimes.

*2026-09-06*

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.

### 4/5 — Good but needs a few fixes

*2026-08-09*

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.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the detailed feedback! We’re glad you’re enjoying the app and finding it smoother than others. We’ve fixed several of the issues you mentioned in our latest update, including crashes and frames not saving properly. Please update the app and give it another try.

*2026-03-09*

### 2/5 — Not bad just not good either

*2025-08-29, version 1.0.9*

I enjoy this app for small things just for big things it doesn’t meet my expectations honestly. No zoom or size adjustments so I feel like it’s a good app for little kids
Learning how to animate but for people like me who are trying to make real time animations it just doesn’t look that good anymore . Sorry

It’s great if you don’t mind the adds every now and then but you can’t import audio so your animations have to be silent

### 1/5 — Worst app ever

*2026-07-30, version 1.1.5*

So when I first announced it yesterday, and I thought I should make a story just one page so I just wrote that was so out of 10 so I need you to make it more fun no ads

🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬😡😡🤬🤬😡🤬😡🤬😡🤬

### 1/5 — Um

*2026-07-29, version 1.1.5*

This game is so laggy it doesnt even let me select colors and it randomly stops drawing!

### 1/5 — Absolute Do do

*2026-07-18*

I knew that this is bad because I had a hard time trying to make an animation with 2 frames, because there is no full bucket, copying frames, or importing images. The Scratch editor is better than this.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your honest feedback. We understand that features like bucket fill, frame copying and image importing can make animation much easier.

*2026-02-20*

This is a cute app but one, it kicks you out if you try to adjust any animations after you’ve turned the app off two, it’s very limited in how long your animations are and how many you make three, there IS NO SOUND you can not import, record or add any sound to your art :/ still a decent app and okay for beginners :)
