One question i have is; how do you remove the background in images? ### 2/5 — Ehh... *2026-08-23, version 2.0.25* Personaly i don't like it, i tried it and it made no sense to me and everything was so confusing and hard to do :/ ### 4/5 — Add sum stuff *2026-08-23, version 2.0.25* Hey,I LOVE the frame by frame and animation programs but we need more effects.I like the effects the are in the app but I want more >:3 Also I want a reverse effect (to reverse the animation) and a slow effect (to slow the animation) That's all I wanted you to add,cya ### 4/5 — Lack of brush customization *2026-08-23, version 2.0.25* I honestly love this app, it’s useful, and it’s more affordable (to me at least). I don’t really have that many complaints other than the fact that there aren’t a lot of options for brush customization compared to the other drawing apps. Which can be a bit of a dealbreaker sometimes. ### 4/5 — Awesome!! *2026-08-18, version 2.0.25* It’s really good but the audio isn’t working for me, I’m not sure if it’s just my iPad not working or if it’s the app because my audio works on everything else but ToonSquid ### 4/5 — Update idea! *2026-08-16, version 2.0.25* I been using this app, it really is Adobe on IPad, but you don’t have to pay $75 dollars each month to animate! It’s really is a Great animation app to use. Would recommend to anyone who interested! ### 5/5 — The app is the best. *2026-08-16, version 2.0.25* This app is truly amazing! I was trying to look for an app to move onto from flipaclip because I felt the need to use something more advanced, and this is it. The price is worth more than everything it includes. It’s easy to tween and animate frame by frame. ### 2/5 — How? *2026-08-13, version 2.0.25* It’s so fast when I play it and it makes me rage ### 5/5 — Amazing! Worth the Money! *2026-08-13, version 2.0.25* I really recommend this animation app! It makes animating easy! At first, I thought it was a little tricky to learn, but they have a YouTube channel that has tutorials! This is the best animation app I’ve ever used! Whether you are just starting animation or are a professional, this animation app is perfect! ### 3/5 — Meh *2026-08-11, version 2.0.25* At first I was really excited and I started to do a smiley face and I went on second frame to make it blink but it doesn’t work I got really frustrated. ### 4/5 — A few things… *2026-08-11, version 2.0.25* The Fill tool should work on the interior of Path tool lines. Also, if someone imports a picture, there should be a popup that asks if they want to have the background of said picture automatically removed. An intensity meter to the bg remover would be helpful. This would allow assets to be exported MUCH easier. Also, I spent 10 bucks on this and I don’t wanna go back to Flipaclip. Thanks! ### 4/5 — Having issues *2026-08-10, version 2.0.25* Im having trouble getting the export to save to video, it wouldn’t let me put it in save video, it’s already been three months. I would appreciate any assistance. ### 5/5 — Amazing tool! *2026-08-09, version 2.0.25* I couldn’t have made my YouTube show without this. It’s so great; there’s nothing out there on the App Store as great as Toonsquid when it comes to animation. ### 3/5 — Amazing, Really good *2026-08-08, version 2.0.25* This is an amazing app their is so many effects like warping for tweening and animating you’re png drawing layers but im somone that uses a lot of layers and whenever im just trying to zoom out the app thinks im trying to touch a layer and it gets annoying and when sometimes it adds keyframes if i could turn off edit layers by tap it would fix the issue ### 5/5 — Changes needed *2026-08-08, version 2.0.25* , please add an out in, keyframe ease. And please add a feature to stitch animations projects together in a single timeline, or to play multiple animation projects in a row or export things as one, much more efficient uploading for full long projects ### 3/5 — Quantity over quality *2026-08-07, version 2.0.25* It’s good and all but it lags a ton and is not even close to being beginner friendly, the tutorials didn’t help at all and it would be better if they went more into detail. ### 5/5 — Best animation software on iPad.. *2026-08-07, version 2.0.25* Love this app.. I think a helpful feature would be the ability to keyframe the visibility of each layer.. (the on and off state of the eye icon) I mean a workaround is to keyframe the opacity…. But this app has everything ### 5/5 — pretty cool *2026-08-07, version 2.0.25* i wish it had a magic wand tool though. also, i would love if could take flas, but i dunno if would even be possible. i’m not a programmer. its way better than alight motion that’s for sure, though there’s no simple way to do effects. or maybe there is. idk. speaking of slight motion: if you want to do the looping anims (like the cyclic graph) then just make the animation and then select all key frames and hold, and you’ll see the ootion to loop the key frames. i appreciate that it isn’t a subscription as well ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — I WOULD WRITE 0 STARS IF I COULD *2026-08-08, version 2.0.25* To start it broke after 20 minutes making me have to restart the ENTIRE DRAWING just from clicking one button ONE! YEA ONLY ONE THEN THE ONLY WAY FOR IT TO LET ME DRAW ANOTHER THING WAS TO DELETE MY DRAWING OF DELETE MY DRAWING NOTHING IN BETWEEN. but at least your able to import pictures into the app that’s the only good thing about this entire app btw. So in conclusion don’t download apps just because they’re the first result you find in a google search. ### 1/5 — doesn’t always save, a detrimental issue. *2026-07-22, version 2.0.24* the app deleted an entire project. 10+ hrs gone. completely unacceptable. ### 1/5 — Why this get 1 star *2026-05-24, version 2.0.22* THE PLUS IS NOT SHOWING UP TO ADD PICTURES WHAT DO YOU THINK KIDS KNOW HOW TO FIND IT FLIPACLIP IS BETTER ### 1/5 — Quantity over quality *2026-04-25, version 2.0.21* The fact it freezes and lags so much is beyond me, NOT worth the money. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2026-04-03, version 2.0.21* Too difficult to navigate, doesn’t do what tutorials say it does. Rigging features don’t work. I followed tutorials and it didn’t do zilch. I normally don’t write reviews but this is unacceptable. ### 1/5 — Bad game *2026-03-14* There’s something wrong with it there’s nothing wrong with the app, but the thing is it’s too hard to animate on. I don’t understand why we need the scale thing and whatever permission and like and then like it doesn’t have what I want on there it needs to be like more like alight motion. With the N and like there’s nothing wrong with it. I don’t understand why I mean I’ve been using all motion for a very long time, but since this app is very similar and like, it’s also an animation app so like I can understand more about it like when I used it it not really what I wanted I thought like Maybe it would be just like I motion but like with different like other stuff that was completely fine at first, I loved it because I mean I didn’t use it yet but until I used to it was just confusing and I tried looking at tutorials and it made no sense. You guys need to fix your app like literally like I’m not joking like seriously I’m not joking, but anyway, you guys need to put more effort in like the moving cause like I don’t understand like literally if I wish like I can show you the animation I did it would be like disgusting and you would probably delete your app just because you guys didn’t like it. ### 1/5 — distance between play and rewind buttons *2026-02-28, version 2.0.21* please spread the play button and the start/end buttons, it drives me mad everytime i go to click play and shoot myself all the way to the beginning of the animation ### 1/5 — Glitchy. *2026-02-13, version 2.0.19* I thought I had finally found a perfect animation app but no it’s full of random glitches that make is the most frustrating thing I’ve ever had to work with. Trying to make a project with key framing and layer hierarchies is the most infuriating task. The layers keep moving and resizing on its own, nothing fixes it, not to mention the pixel drawing limits suddenly being smaller than the canvas itself creating an awkward box?? Why even have this? Is it so hard to make your app functional and not excruciating to have to figure out how to fix. ### 1/5 — Не знаю почему не дает возможность вставить картинку как отдельный слой *2026-02-07, version 2.0.18* Пытались найти причину проблемы но решения нет. На айпаде просто нет возможности вставить отдельный слой с готовым рисунком. Почему то соединяет все слои в один слой который невозможно редактировать ### 1/5 — Idk *2026-01-12, version 2.0.17* Umm this is so hard to work I watched the tutorial but I still don’t get it at all ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — OH MY GOD *2026-08-27, version 2.0.26* genuinely top 2 animation apps ### 5/5 — one of the best animation apps i’ve used *2026-08-27, version 2.0.26* i’ve been drawing/animating for years and i’ll say that toonsquid is one of the best animation apps ive invested in, every update is worth looking forward too and it’s astounding that it’s one guy working on all this ### 5/5 — pretty cool *2026-08-22, version 2.0.25* i wish it had a magic wand tool though. please add a way to change the amount of points on the warp feature ### 5/5 — My life *2026-08-20, version 2.0.25* My life’s career is gonna be about animation and this is a really fun app that I can use for animation because it is like a mini animation for computer but on iPad I love this so much is so much good features but it’s a bit buggy, but I love it ### 5/5 — Best Workplace UI In all Animation I’ve tried so far. *2026-08-20, version 2.0.25* Apps UI really comfortable to use, no other animation app has met my standards. Creates a really nice workflow and runs smoothly on an older device. An app I recommend to many and new animators. Excited to try out all new features in update 2.0. A suggestion, would be give option to tweak workplace UI tools’ placement. For examples, have preference for the undo/redo button to be on the left side but want to keep all other tools remain in Right Handed placements. Another thing is to have the undo/redo button move up or be somehow visible when you need to have many animations layers visible but the undo/redo becomes hidden when the animation layer window is pulled up over it to view many layers (sadly not a tap tap gesture fan, I do love pressing buttons). ### 5/5 — Good! *2026-08-20, version 2.0.25* It’s difficult to learn at first, but you get the hang of it over time. ### 5/5 — Just switched *2026-08-20, version 2.0.25* I just switched from FlipaClip to ToonSquid cuz the ads are annoying and the 10 layers cap sucks. I haven’t done much on ToonSquid yet but it seems promising so far! ### 5/5 — It’s great but… *2026-08-19, version 2.0.25* The app is wonderful and I would say it’s perfect. Easy to learn, easy to master, yet the best animation app on iPad!! ### 5/5 — For the person who said “The plus is not showing up to add pictures *2026-08-17, version 2.0.25* What do you think kids know how to find it, flipaclip is better” this app wasn’t even made for kids. But regardless. This is a good animation app. I just suck at drawing ### 5/5 — Update *2026-08-16, version 2.0.25* This review I am writing as I learn to how to not impulsively write stuff. First of all, this is a great animating app! I really like using it. also could you implement a better fill mechanic? I now know that that thing that allows no ugly borders to exist but anyway, could you perhaps add something where the fill tool could add gap recognition that can be toggled or not toggled? --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
