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. This is useful when not much changes between images.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Stop Animator at 4.4 against FB's 3.1. Stop Animator also leads on ratings volume (924 vs 28). 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.

Both are free to download. Stop Animator sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. FB asks for nothing beyond the download.
Stop Animator holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Stop Animator has 924 ratings behind it against 28, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 48% of Stop Animator's written reviews are positive against 56% of FB's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Stop Animator ships an update every 2 months, FB every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 4, 2026 and June 11, 2026 respectively.
