I think it's great, and a good enough program even with the paywalls. Heck, the pay walls are very lenient! If you're a beginner, or animate as a small hobby, I think the free mobile version is perfect. Though, the image quality is very poor, and the pay wall is more strict on the desktop version. Again, all is fine if you're not too serious about it.

It's kinda sucky. Yes, If you are a beginner it can be easy to use. But the selection tool is a bit funky. The drawing tool is sticky and doesn't run smooth. You have a very small selection of trails for your drawing tool and half of them don't even look good. If you do quick strokes the outer edge is thick were as the inner sections are narrow and fine, causing it to look unprofessional and bad. undo/redo doesn't work well, forcing you to double/triple tap repeatedly until it does work. & more

I've been looking for a free animation app that could allow me to do simple animations. I found this one and hoped it would suit my needs. However, I have discovered that there is a problem. You can't shift the picture. It isn't an option even under the "watch an add and you'll get this" section. This important so that you can slide the "camera" across the animated sequence. Drawing it by hand is nearly impossible without it looking choppy. Also, the perspective guide should be free.

I would think this was a good animation software, but I have a lot of complains. 1. The tools aren't customizable and they don't go to a smaller or minimum size, which makes them extremely hard to use. 2. There are too few layers and it makes my animations look rough, knowing I'm not able to fine line them, with a mid ground and background 3. Too few tools! More options will make the animations look much more pleasing, not only to the viewer BUT TO WORK WITH FOR THE ANIMATOR! 4. No audio attachments. I was planning on making a short animation tied with music but that didn't happen... This animation software would work really well with audio attachments in my opinion. 5. No fill bucket... I dislike having to fill everything in by hand so having a fill bucket tool that is similar to the way one works in Medibang Paint will be lovely! If any developer or agent sees this, consider my suggestions, please. I'm having a difficult time finding a suitable animation program and I'm sure many others are too. Thanks!

Was good... Now there's a limit to how many animations you can make, and if you want to make more you have to watch an add. I understand they need $ but this angers me. I don't reccomend unless you want to pay 2$ every time you want to use a simple feature. You might as well buy a better anaimation app. Oh and you have to watch an add for everything .

The drawing part is alright, but it is VERY annoying that it will not upload pictures or audio, two things I base my animations on to draw. It claims to have the ability and just needs permission, but it will continue to say that even after it has the permission. I have tried reinstalling. It would be great for some others, but it is useless for me without this ability.

The only thing I don't like is that I can't add sound, a lot of what I want to animate somewhat relies on sound and music, also it runs a bit slow which makes it feel somewhat clunky to use though that could be just my phone. All in all though if this isn't something that bothers you or you're willing to work around it, it's actually not that bad for a free app

So one day I saw this video with someone animating a really cool animation, I decided that I could do this too, so I searched up some animation apps, and I found Animation desk, I tried to make an animation, but there was no option to make a new one, I started to try different ways to create a new video, but I couldn't find it. The only thing I liked about it is that it showed me examples of other animations, I will now be deleting the app from my phone

I was reading some reviews and I noticed how many people were unsatisfied from the app. Using it I was really confused why so many gave a bad review on it. Yeah, the pencil kinda sucks but generally it's really good. You can put music and the best part is... No watermark. I'm a newbie in animation and i wanted to try free apps to use as practice. This app is way too good than Flipaclip. It doesn't even let you pay up for music or removal of the watermark. I have a more things to say but I cant.

This is the best animation app I found, I'm a beginner and all I need are the options to duplicate, adjust brush size, zoom, undo/redo which were absent in other apps. Improvements can still be made: when you duplicate more than enough slides you have to delete them individually; you can't add text boxes or record audio so you have to draw it, often it turns out too small or in the wrong place and when i use cut/copy to move it, pasting makes the whole slide go pixelated.

It definitely works...But there's no only stylus mode, pressure sensitivity, resolution changing and more useful features that are needed when using a tablet. It doesn't lag when zooming but zoom SUCKS. It's so bad when zooming and not well made. I feel like with a bit more features it could definitely be a better app. But right now it's not that good for animators. The zoom feature has no threshold and you can't move the picture around with control.

I really like this app, this helps me a lot with making my animations, even tho I'm only using my fingers it works perfectly....But the thing is, when ever I make the size smaller a can't draw the way I want it to be, and when ever I try to make it bigger for closer look it won't work unless I put more pressure on my fingers :'(. Anyways, I still recommend this to those who are begginers and are just starting to do animation, please don't start with your fingers, use a stylus. 👁️👄👁️👍

It was good while it lasted but I have an issue. This app signed me up for a month application and took 24.99 from my PayPal account what I DID NOT sign up for a 3-month application. If this is a glitch gosh it needs to be fixed. I did sign up for the free trial but I never wanted to pay for a 3-month thing as I wasn't sure if I liked the app enough or not. The payment was apparently automatic and I do not appreciate that at all. If there is someone I can contact about this issue I would love to know please.

It's a pretty good animator app Expect there aren't many tools, like pens, pencils, brushes, etc. But the big problem is that when you use it on mobile, it's really laggy, and you can mess up when you try to do the first layer for the drawing and animation. Edit: it happens when i open the app, it's kinda laggy and it is a good app but needs more detail, you get what i'm trying to say? I'm not trying to sound rude or anything sorry if i do tho, but honestly overall it's good just has some bugs.

so far, I've had the app for a couple of hours and all seems well, it's really easy to get used to and just generally better than flipaclip. I have one problem and I don't know if its fixed when you finish the animation but theres no sound from the video I imported and I wanted to know if it was added in the end or if I couldn't add anything at all

1. We are all aware that we are using Animation Desk, there's no need to put a human sized Watermark to clarify this. You can simply put the watermark in the bottom part of the screen or something similar. It's frustrating. 2. Not enough tools. I think the developers focused on the front end more than the actual tools. 3. Too many adds.

I didn't take long for me to figure out that I don't like this app. I am a young animator and whenever I tried to use the app, it would crash. I also think there is stuff that needs fixing, so here are some suggestions. 1.) It sucks that you can't rotate the screen, maybe you can add that option 2.) Whenever I try to draw, the pines always end up very pixelated, so maybe you can fix that 3.) There aren't many options of art tools you can use, I would suggest adding some more. please fix it! :)

Horrible. It doesn't automatically save everything you do. Just the first frame. So you have to manually select each frame by dragging a bar over it. Which wouldn't be so bad except that I doesnt work. It stops moving after a while which makes it impossible to select everything. Had to transfer frame by frame to flipaclip.. except this app kept crashing while I tried to. Don't even try this app. Its literally garbage.

i think it's good enough for 3 stars. There were some problems in exporting my animations tho. It seems that whenever i export it, it only stays at 60% and nothing more. It took so long that i had to resort to recording it instead. And it also glitches and stuff and it also lags whenever i tried to exit it and it freezes my computer so im a bit confused. It's pretty good tho

It would have been better if there are more brushes in the free one and it can be vertical the screen so I can be able to use my Wacom tablet on my phone since I don't have a better place to make animations as well to have the money to buy any computer to do animation, please do some better updates like actually put different brushes and have it vertical. It's good but not the best.
