I pressed it like six times and it’s still like saying like exported then and then I when I go to gallery on my phone and my photos there’s like no video or no photos from it so yeah. ### 3/5 — Can’t handle “big” projects of 200+ frames *2025-04-29, version 3.0.1* Yoooo so I love this usually it’s a ton of fun but recently I made a little bit bigger project and it’s not exporting it and it’s ~200 frames. ### 4/5 — Good *2024-12-09, version 3.0.1* It is great love it ### 4/5 — Love it, but to much adds *2024-11-01, version 3.0.1* It felt like I couldn’t do not even one video popping out after I was Done. But the results were awesome! They came out really clear and I loved it. ### 4/5 — Good but...(PLEASE READ, COULD MAKE HUGE DIFFERENCE!) *2024-10-16, version 3.0.1* I really love this app! I do, BUT... Maybe it's just me, but on my ipad I can't (or barely can) download the video to my device. This is one problem that's pretty annoying. Otherwise, this is a great app! Overall, I'd DEFINITELY recommend it. ### 3/5 — Boring *2024-05-27, version 3.0.1* It’s so complicated ### 4/5 — Kind of annoying. *2024-05-16, version 3.0.1* I made an animation of a Lego jet takeoff but then it randomly got deleted. ### 4/5 — Complaints *2023-07-04, version 2.1.2* I love the app, but i have some complaints • when you press the finish button , it saves but the thing is while i was recording, i accidentally pressed the button . So i suggest that you make a popup sign saying something like “Are you sure you want to save” • also when anything pops up , it autosaves I was recording , my phone did the “low power” thing . And i had to start again • my last complaint is that you need to be able to edit videos Like if you want to finish off something or accidentally pressed finish , you could just re-open it ### 3/5 — Please read *2022-08-25, version 2.1.2* Please add music because without music it’s a pain in the butt🤬 ### 2/5 — This “auto save” is stupid *2022-05-04, version 2.1.2* So let me start I tried my hardest to not auto save but then it randomly closed and I had to restart! Make a new button to see your projects and autosaves and not to photos cause you can edit it or add more. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Nice app 🙌 *2025-03-30, version 3.0.1* Thanks for this wonderful app it stop motions good keep up the good work :) ### 1/5 — DUMB DEVS *2025-01-28, version 3.0.1* Right so I was making my animation and I pressed upload and I was so excited to see it and not there 🙄so I reset my iPad and pressed upload again and STILL NOT THERE so bye!👋👎🏻 ### 1/5 — I hate this ap *2024-07-13, version 3.0.1* It didnt even let me watch it because you have to pay ### 1/5 — BAD AND BROKEN *2024-06-22, version 3.0.1* That is broken. It just gives me a blank screen and then just crashes. ### 1/5 — WORST GAME EVER DEVELOPER READ!!!!😤😤😤😤 *2024-02-17, version 2.1.2* I can’t believe I fell for this trap! You have to pay for everything. The camera doesn’t work all I get is a black screen. If I could give it 0 stars I would. All I wanted to do was make a simple animation. I went to change the frames and I had to pay for it. YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR ONION SKINS FOR GOD SAKES! Do not download. All the 5 and 4 star ratings are lies. ### 1/5 — This app is traaaaash 😡 *2024-01-01, version 2.1.2* Boo ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work. *2023-02-19, version 2.1.2* Tried to download and it worked perfectly but when I tried to make stop motions the screen went completely black.

Thank you. ### 1/5 — Cant use *2023-01-04, version 2.1.2* I NEED MY PHOTOS 😡 DO NOT GET ### 1/5 — Rubbish. *2022-04-22, version 2.1.2* First-The camera doesnt work. Second-adds every 20 seconds. Third-Very laggy. Forth-Forever taking black screens. ### 1/5 — Not good *2022-03-10, version 2.1.2* Kept glitching and didn’t really get any good shots.

My brother and I have made many videos clips! I look forward to making more videos in the future! ### 5/5 — Nothing bad about the app but only a tiny problem that annoys me *2022-08-19, version 2.1.2* This app is great and seems like you can make some amazing animations and seems like you can make awsome lego videos. I’ve earned 74 subs just because of this app it works great but only one problem there’s an error where it’ll say that your progress has been saved but whenever you go and check photos the video isn’t there and sometimes it says that you take 0 photos. The app is awsome but it just has some annoying glitches like this review says. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
