This app lets you draw images frame by frame to create animations. It's more suited to simple stick figure like animations at the moment. Email me or put feature requests in the reviews if you have any. ======Special controls====== • Long press on the undo button redos (Thanks Procreate) • Long press on the directional arrows will copy the frame over into the next frame.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: iMotion at 4.5 against FB's 3.1. iMotion also leads on ratings volume (2.9K vs 28) and review sentiment (73% vs 56%). FB's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 5) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

iMotion ships an update every 2 months, FB every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
