### 1/5 — Horrible

*2026-09-04, version 2.3.22*

It’s pay to animate it should be free the creators should not have us pay for all the tools

### 4/5 — Great, but a few problems

*2026-07-23, version 2.3.22*

Ever since I downloaded this first in 2021, I've found it great to use, but there are problems which I have noticed: copying drawings from one animation to another just doesn't work, pitch black appears as a stripy missing texture, sometimes zoom and sensitive goes slower or faster. are these common problems or just mistakes I have made?
