I now have a problem with export, it exits out the program even shuts down my tablet. It was great at first but now its having problems like this one. And sometimes it deletes some of the screen, specifically the left and right part of the screen if my tablet goes to sleep.

As far as I understand we can't add sounds into animation. That is the missing thing I think. And I could not find any other apps having this feature. Is that not possible?

B70%
by B####:

Barely a decent FREE app. But for $5? Horrible. FILLED with bugs. Incredibly slow and lack of important tools for animation. Developer has seemed to have forgotten about this app.

U70%
by U####:

This app is great for simple animations. It has lots of tools and options for animating. However when drawing large figures sometimes the app will delete the drawing on that frame, no matter how much detail was put into that frame. I need this issue solved efore being able to give a 5 star rating. Also, the onionskin setting needs to have a toggle for the previous frame or next frame being shown, not just both being visible or off.

N70%
by N####:

I'm loving everything about this new animation application. It has a huge amount of tools that I've found to use, it seems to me to be the only animation app that lets you export your animations in high definition. I'm really thankful and glad that a loop feature was added to previewing your animation too. I'd love animated gif export, but really, I just couldn't be happier with this application. In my opinion it's another hit application from Sean Brakefield!

No export = no animation = feeling ripped off. Fix or update please...its been over a year since I purchased this and I am now finiding I cannot even use it. Layout is great, friendly enough interface; there is potential.

U70%
by U####:

This was the only decent animation app I could find.. but once I started using it more, I kept running into bugs. Between my layers erasing themselves or my brushstrokes being immediately undone the moment I lift my stylist.. it's pretty discouraging.

I would give it 5 stars if someone could solve one problem for me. The app is installed on my phone and it won't let me export the project I'm doing. I've tried several times. BTW.. First time I've ever tried to export.

U70%
by U####:

This doesnt appear to be supported any longer, though the developer i still in business. I would suggest fixing export for all who have paid for this. It is kind of pointless without it. Otherwise i liked the app.

U70%
by U####:

Cannot export without crashing, has not been updated in over 2 years.Developer pretty much forgot about this project.App is useless without the ability to export projects.

N70%
by N####:

Undo and redo bug also camera doesn't work. I have had many issues with this app but I don't want to put it down so eaisly I'm waiting for the next update if things aren't fixed by then i will ask for a refund (sorry)

J70%
by J####:

It is a waste of money and time. You can't add sound or duplicate frames or even upload stuff up on to YouTube. All your left with is fancy backgrounds, foregrounds, layering up frames and that sort of junk. You're totally going to make money you idiot. The trailer is made with this app and put through loads of editing. YOU CAN EVEN GET A FREE APP THAT IS 20X BETTER THAN THIS. IT IS SUCH A RIP OFF.

O70%
by O####:

I love this so much! I'm a professional animator and this is a great software to use! But please could you add audio because that would really make it 10x better. I will give 5 stars if there is audio. Thank you

U70%
by U####:

Can't export my animations at all. Keep getting an error message saying "Can't play video" with a blank thumbnail. Without an option to export this app is useless.

U70%
by U####:

This has lots of promise, but the lack of being able to tell the difference between my finger and my stylus makes awful marks all over the page when I try to zoom. Lack of page rotation makes it hard to every spot on the page without turning my phone.

U70%
by U####:

No exports are possible. I would wait for updates before buying. Great program but exports are a crucial feature.

R70%
by R####:

This app, as it stands, is pretty much useless. I know that it will be improved, but it's been about four months since the last update.

M70%
by M####:

But whenever I save my animation,it says that "This video cannot be played". Please fix this,and add a recording option.

M70%
by M####:

Someone said you could export on tablet 10.1. It's a lie. That said though, isn't it sad that I have a bloody tablet, a wonderous piece of technology that I bought specifically for art, and there's no professional animation software for the system? This is the only reason people keep coming back to this bug filled wonder. Come on techies! I'll pay twice as much for decent Android animation software!

I have the galaxy mega, which I bought specifically for drawing. This app, and his infinite design and painter are amazing! They are innovative and unique. The dev put a lot of time and energy into providing such great apps!

D70%
by D####:

Great app, intuitive, tons of features, but I can't export my work. It looks like the developer is aware of the problem and is working on a solution. As soon as I can export l'll definitely give it 5 stars

T70%
by T####:

Wait for the update. Export is broken, tools get stuck.

F70%
by F####:

This app needs to get more downloads! Totally worth the money, I love it, it's super fun and thanks to the instructions given by the developer at the beginning I was able to get the hang of it fast (although a mini video tutorial would be great for those who aren't familiarized with how frames and camera work), brushes & pressure work great, no lag, runs smoothly, I was able to import a video I recorded directly from my phone and edit it with no problem. Thanks & congrats to the developer!

T70%
by T####:

Saving every little thing you do seems excessive also asking you which layer you want to add a frame to seems like it could do with some more streamlined way of doing it.Maybe it is more useful to people doing more detailed frames but for doing something quick flipaclip seems so much better. Maybe I need to play around with it a bit more but hard not to just stick with flipaclip.Both apps look promising for future additions but will have to wait and see.

B70%
by B####:

This app is very disappointing. Technical issues - undo works once, but the next time(s) you use it, it redoes (!!) what you've already undone. The brushes don't respond correctly. No smooth lines. I've had it for only a few hours & can't get a refund, I guess, otherwise I would get one. And, here I was so excited about it. It is **incredibly** frustrating, especially since this app is $4.99!!!! What a total waste!!

Y70%
by Y####:

Only works well on Galaxy devices, specifically galaxy note 2 products. On the note 3 or more recent note tablets there are lots of bugs that ruined projects. Hasn't been updated in over a year. Lots of features do not function as promised or as one would expect. The undo function doesn't remove all of the last input data. Exporting completely ruined some layers of projects. It's the most powerful animation program I have seen on Android, it's bugs however make it the most useless.

Good potential here, but the developer hasn't updated since I got the app (August 2013) and the export problem is still around. And now it's bugging out on me whenever I put in two layers in each frame. Help or even some acknowledgement will boost this rating.

Y70%
by Y####:

It no longer crashes! I am starting to learn how to use it and it's looking good. Brush lag is greatly reduced. Whoopeee...happy days.

Q70%
by Q####:

Application is in its infancy. Too limited in options in onionskinning, unable to properly scrub or flip drawings, interrupted by save notices and CONSTANTLY losing complete drawings. Drawings will delete themselves with no notice, parts of drawings disappear out of nowhere. Overall, much too early to be used seriously. Drawing tools are great and its in the right direction, get it only after a few more versions are out. (1.01)

I love it...but it doesn't have an recording thing audio :(

Y70%
by Y####:

Using this app is wonderful, it's slick and really nice to draw and animate with, however when I try and export the animation, it won't play and doesn't show up as saved anywhere on my tablet either. If this export bug was fixed it would be the ideal animation app.
