I'm terrible at making animations and this doesn't really help me personally, but that's probably because I don't spend enough time trying to animate in the first place. It's still very fun to make animated movies and very easy to understand. As someone who came from Pivot Animator on my laptop, it's still preferable, but if you're on mobile, this is perfect for animating.

This is the BEST stickman animation software that I have used. BASICALLY NO ADS! Works offline so well. I am pretty sure that you can save offline too. Everything correlates to saving files directly to your phone. I am going to buy pro soon! LOVE THIS SO MUCH! Super easy to learn and is really easy to use after learning. You can make animations so fast!

This app give endless opportunities to newcomers of animating. The tools are easy to use, with very few struggles alongside it. I feel like Stick Nodes could have a few changes here and there, stating that you can only move left, right, up, and down. I believe that maybe you should add more accessibility when it comes to animating your character and bringing them life. These options I recommend could be curves, squishing, squashing, stretching, and maybe the option of creating our own shapes.
