User reviews

The green screen didn’t work ☹️

I bought the green screen but then for some reason when I went back on it it said it was still locked 🔒. I tried again and it said I hadn’t bought it, so I tried buying it again and then it said that I already had it. It’s still unlocked tho. Please help me

Best game ever

It’s the most relaxing game ever

No green screen

I paid for green screen and draw tools a month ago. To this date, they still don’t work for iPads. Don’t waste your money until they figure out how to work with iPads. Never was refunded.....

Superb support

We’ve had lots of fun with this app. Used if for years. My young children love it. Makes animation easy. We love the onion-skinning. Incredibly we got instant support every time we asked for help. Extremely helpful developer!

Crashes as soon as it's interacted with!

Bought this for my son as he uses it at school. Whenever we tap on anything it just quits the app. Total waste of money. Would have 0 Stars if that was possible, as I now have a really upset 7yr old.
