ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Stopmotion Animation Studio holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Stopmotion Animation Studio has 389 ratings behind it against 44, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 41% of Stickman Animator's written reviews are positive against 39% of Stopmotion Animation Studio's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Stickman Animator ships an update every 3 weeks, Stopmotion Animation Studio every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
