Really Great

This is my first real animation app (I used to use ibisPaint) and it’s really good! Pretty simple, though it took me a bit to get the hang of the controls (as to be expected). I have been experiencing some issues with it, though, which are: sometimes the app randomly freezes, and I’m not able to select frames, but I can do everything else? I have to close the app to reset it, which is annoying, and it happens pretty often. Also, when I try to color, it causes this weird glitch, where it forms a reddish-green ring around the stroke. I’m able to get past this by coloring in a large area and using the lasso to erase the parts around the outline, but it’s still kind of annoying. This might just be something wrong with my iPad, though. But for animating, especially lip syncing, this app is amazing! (Especially compared to ibisPaint, I have been animating on that for way too long and this app feels much better for that) Highly recommended!!

Amazing animation app

This is AMAZING though is kinda hard at first I made some amazing animations on it and I am LOVING THIS!

Good but the brushes sucks

Allow more customizations for brushes :( and pls make it less buggy. When I use my phone, it would crash when I have a lot of frames and its sad because I would like to make longer projects.

OVERALL! everything is pretty good. Just please more customizations for brushes!!

Best Beginner Friendly app for Animation

This app is great for people who want to animate but don’t want high level Pixar
type animations and more for just a little hobby, if you want this Pixar level animation, i recommend getting a much more complicated animation app, also this isn’t necessary but maybe you could have a few more brush types, other than that this app is legendary for hobby animations

Great for basic animation.

This app has a lot of great features, more specifically with how you can use the frames. With FlipaClip you have to create a new frame every time, which is annoying if you need an extended frame; but with Rough Animator, you can drag any frame to be as long as you want. It’s also a lot easier to delete frames on Rough Animator vs FlipaClip.
Very easy to create lots of layers, the only limiting factor being your device’s ability to handle the load; which if you have the same devices I do, it doesn’t take very much to crash the app.
I do wish there was more to play around with the selection feature, since it is very basic, but it’s able to get the job done.
It’s worth mentioning that for animation, while not having as many brushes, Rough Animator works better for me than FlipaClip.
Overall, very solid. I will be continuing to use Rough Animator for a while.

Amazing

4 years I like it

🤯

I bought this app after quitting FlipaClip bc they wanted me to pay a monthly subscription just to see a frame ahead with onion skin, and WOW!
First of all, the amount of things u can do with this app with just 8 dollars is crazy! You can draw perfect straight lines, circles, squares, it has a smoothing setting for your lines, you can import videos, audio, pictures, png images, unlimited layers, a ton of layer settings (that I don’t understand a lot of yet lol), and a ton more!
Second, I saw a ton of reviews saying, ā€œit can’t do thisā€ or, ā€œit can’t do thatā€ when the app literally can they just haven’t watched a YouTube tutorial lol. Also there are reviews that say, ā€œthe app keeps crashingā€ which the app does crash sometimes but that’s only if u have like 8 different layers and a 300 frame video on full resolutionšŸ˜‚.
This app is a goldmine for people who want to animate professionally! You just have to know how to use it!

This is even worse than Flipaclip!

First off, the app crashes whenever I try to import an image, causing me to lose hours of progress, I run a YouTube channel and that’s not really efficient if I want to upload consistently, second when I make an animation it looks choppy no matter the frame rate I run it on, please fix these issues!

Awesome

Awesome sauce

UI

Great app theres one problem though, the UI.
Please, PLEASE add a UI editor option. And if there IS one please tell me. This would be an easy 5 stars if it had UI management

This is goated

This is definitely one of if not THE best animation and drawing apps I’ve used in my life, it’s nice and smooth, really easy to get down, and much better than flip-a-clip, definitely a monumental discovery in my life

Plz help

Omg it’s really good but whenever I try to tilt something I moved with this tool (idk what it’s called) it disappears and it’s SUPER ANNOYING. ROUGHANIMATOR PLEASE FIX THIS

add a tweening feature

this app is great I love using it but it would honestly better if you added tweening

One problem

When I was using it, everything was fine but now it’s not letting me draw every single time I try to draw right now nothing appears it’s just a blank canvas ( paper,screen? Oh well) can you please fix this? Thank you.

Simple and effective

Simple, no ads, has layers soooo goooood purely because I hate flip-a-clip.

Awesome

I love this program. It makes it super easy for a beginner like me to pick up and start animating. It doesn’t have all the bells and whistles of other programs, but it’s great for practicing the fundamentals.

Helped me alot!

Super good, highly recommended may be tricky at first (especially if you came from flipaclip), but after a few animations you're get the hang of it. 5 stars

The downfall of flipaclip

I LOVE ROUGH ANIMATOR PRAY FOR THE DOWNFALL OF FLIPACLIP

Life changing (for an animator)

Its cheap, its efficient, it feels great and it works great! Been using it for nearly a year now and safe to say, ill be sticking with this for probably the rest of my life (probably)

Amazing app

Amazing and fun to work with super amazing
