Für den Bildungseinsatz unvergleichbar… Toll ### 3/5 — Fondo *2024-07-04, version 1.4.4* Alguien sabe por que las transparencias de fondo me dejaron de funcionar en la proyección y al expandir la imagen en el iPad si cambia de color, a alguien mas le ha dejado de funcionar el fondo, que se puede hacer? Ya he reiniciado el programa ### 5/5 — Amazing *2024-05-22, version 1.4.3* This app is amazing for artists ### 5/5 — The best *2022-02-25* Amazing app. Totally unique and powerful! ### 5/5 — iPad 6 gen test. *2020-01-21, version 1.2.0* Works well. Will acquire other applications too will re-edit as and when. My comment: seems complicated and felt lost at first but the tutorial video is very helpful,well designed,illustrated and clear. Would give 6 stars but there is no 6 star button!. ### 5/5 — What a wonderful world ... *2019-11-20, version 1.1.0* ... of colors and shapes and animated sprites ... perfect, beautiful and fantastic fun! Thank you for giving us the chance for such an experience! Danke an alle bei OMAI - wunderbar! ### 5/5 — Very intuitive, beautiful results *2019-09-14* My son loves to create animated images on tagtool, the results are always beautiful ### 2/5 — Crashes every time:( *2019-08-11* I ❤️ this app, bought the pro version last year used it from time to time for fun and to make cute, fun, simple projects. BUT, I just spent the past week working on drawings to import for a really important project, deadline tomorrow, which I am close to finishing but cannot because it WON’T STOP CRASHING EVERY TIME I go back in after it crashes and it allows me to add one or two tiny pictures and then 💥 crash 🤬 And since I’m here searching for another app to get the job done, I’ll add that Tagtool needs to allow us to export animations easily without having to buy some other software. More tutorials would be nice and to be able to enlarge stuff in your side panel deck so it’s more visible. I’m sad that it’s not at least holding up for this ONE thing I need to complete. ✌🏻 ### 5/5 — Brilliant App! *2019-07-12* Brilliant app, responsive support, terrific community. ### 5/5 — Pure magic *2019-05-20, version 1.1.0* This is hands down one of the most ingenious apps in the App Store. Like the equivalent to a musical instrument for visual artists and performers. You can see how much experience from the creators went into developing this app. ## Frequently asked questions about Tagtool ### What can I do with Tagtool?
