Recommendations for this app to be better: 1. Have a smudge and a blur tool. Make tools like in art apps in this so the animations will be better. 2. Please fix the pen. I put hard pressure on the device and I have to go back and forth to make it darker. Please fix the pen for the sizes too and don't rely on the pressure the pen is putting, please rely on the settings we set, because right now the pen tool size and darkness doesn't matter. I hope you all consider these!

Never written a review for an app but this is too good. No fuss, not overly bloated, it's a neat little app that does everything I need to make quick animation when inspiration strikes. It's simple and clean and a pleasure to use.

This app is pretty good. The only thing I don't like about it is that it's kinda laggy, and that when you draw lines, they aren't very smooth and tend to give an odd shape. Also, when I draw a line, I can't draw over that line or color over it. Please fix these and I'll rate 5 stars. <3

A great app with lots of potential. But flipping between frames erases my drawings! Flipping between frames is a very important technique for creating animation, please fix it.

This is the best animation app out of all of Google Play. Thanks for the updates and all of the fun times when I'm board.

My whenever I switch frames my picture gets distorted

Adinacat August 13, 2017

Ugh I got this and this is NOT what an animation app should be. I am also very dissspointed that I can't get a refund

OsazeProductions September 11, 2017

Please add a motion tweening option specifically for smooth zoom in and outs. Really love this app but i think could be a lot better.

PanFluffPuff September 10, 2017

It's a really good animation app and it's really simple to figure out

Jitty kitten August 21, 2017

I hope the creator of this app makes it easier to onion skin between frames please! Btw first animator👍👍

Liliac Pastel September 2, 2017

I need help when ever I slide a frame and draw it saves as all of the frames.

Girly_senpai gamez September 2, 2017

Yay I just love

C Foote June 28, 2017

A good, to the point app that's pretty comfortable to draw in (once you realize that you have to close the timeline to not accidentally delete or move drawings). It's been giving me trouble since the last Android update though. Onion skin has been more finicky and sometimes shows half of a drawing, and there is often slow down now when drawing. Sometimes half of a drawing vanishes now, forcing me to redraw key animation. I hope this can be fixed.The ability to onion skin specific frames would be great.

This is the best animation app so far! Unlike flipcilp you can put audio in,THATS ONE OF THE BIG THINGS I LIKE ABOUT IT. At first i didnt really get it. But i got the hang of it. Now i can do animations for my youtube! Thanks for making this!

Train Conductor July 14, 2017

I like this app and it has a lot of potential. But what i find most annoying is that there is a frame limit to 130 frames. Just up to that. And I cant go any further than that. This annoys me very much because what this does is that it cuts the beginning of my animatiom and basically just doesnt show thosd frames and skips to the one next to it. Its hard to make an animation with this. Please remove it. And also o cant place my audio or add more in this app pls fix.

Kora Muirhead April 18, 2017

So um just bought the app and wanted to test it out... To my shock, I couldn't draw anything. Like the app just broke. Its really disappointing when you try to earn enough money to get something only to have it blow up in your face.... Please fix. Edit: so I did some searching and found out that you have to turn the ignore pressure on.. there was no ignore pressure setting Edit(again): your advice worked thank you~

WeirdHat April 18, 2017

The ignore pressure setting was replaced with the minimum brush size/opacity settings - sorry, I should have updated the documentation accordingly. Try turning both of those sliders up to 100%, if it still doesn't work email me at weirdhat@weirdhat.com

Horrible... just horrible... I paid $4.99 for this and it doesn't even work... and if I uninstall it i'll just have to pay for it again when it's finally fixed. All I want is something that works for my YouTube channel that doesn't put their stupid logo in it to distract the viewers. That's all I want... I'll just have to keep looking I guess :( I WANT MY MONEY REFUNDED!!!! >:(

For the most part, I love this app. There are just 2 things about it that bother me. One, the constant crashes that cause loss of frames occasionally (it's rare when I lose a frame, though), and the fact that the audio lags/ animation lags when I'm previewing it. Sometimes I have to animate past the end of the audio and when I save it to my tablet, and the animation slowly gets too fast towards the end when I play it on my video player. I usually need to imcrease the frame rate, which is really annoying because it makes the animation too quick when I preview it. It also makes animating in sync to music very difficult. I hope these problems can be fixed soon. I'm on a Samsung Tab A, by the way.

Noah Gunn May 11, 2017

This app is fantastic. There are a few customizations that I wish would be added (like the option to turn color interpolation off for sprite animation), but otherwise, this is a complete steal for 5$.

SallyDAnimator Campfire Ranger August 21, 2017

When you add the audio it does not play. Also when I add the video it also does not play. When I color the frames on layers it's like flipaclip. Can you please make it easier to color on different layers. It really disappointing to me. Can i have a refund?

Mario Brothers April 20, 2017

There's something of a learning curve that takes longer to get an accurate picture than the ten minutes you get from Google. Dev seemed pretty involved in review section, but didn't respond to my email inquiry. The good news is that it hasn't crashed yet, but honestly I haven't really tried to do anything spectacular.

Kita Mae June 24, 2017

Please. Oh. My. God. Please stop that export as MP4. I just want to download the video onto my phone and you make it so very complicated. And when I go over it to color... I can't copy the color I used a second ago... Meaning I have to recolor the entire animation because the color I used didn't save. And can you let the pen go over the page, so when we move the picture it doesn't cut off half of the illustration because it fell off the page? If that makes any sense? I bought this thinking it was professional but it's really really not- and I can't even get my money back. EDIT: I'm not kidding.. the storage you put in my phone is ridiculous. Literally every little frame has its own spot in my storage. Refund or no refund I'm never downloading this app again.

LOVE IT!!!!! Better than flipaclip!!!!! 💛😄 I love it now i can animate and turn and all that it was hard to understand at first but i got used to it but i was making an animation for my sister She's deaf and her birth day is coming up and i was making one for her and it said It stopped working and it deleted the pics i did like all my work and thats the only problem and i made gifs so thats good too 😄 But i still love the app! 😍😄

Nate Fuchs May 15, 2017

Amazing and easy to use app. Wish there was an easier way to flip/roll through frames though. Like a dial type thing on the left for your thumb to go back and forth easier.

Ann Bancroft April 18, 2017

Progress gets deleted somehow a lot and when you export the video it can't have resolution any higher than 360p the export quality should be 720p. The quality is disappointing for a paid app.

WeirdHat April 18, 2017

Hi, the exported video should be the same resolution as the project, if it's not then that's a bug, sorry. Please email me at weirdhat@weirdhat.com with more detail about the problems and how to reproduce them, and I'll try to fix them.

Garrett Byers May 28, 2017

Amazingly detailed with nice layout and easy learning curve. This app puts you in control of the quick production of 2D Animations right from your phone. The export in HD mp4 option as well as HD gifs is a must for use with other programs and the web. If your trying to find the best 2D Anamation app for the phone... you found it with this one! Totally worth the price!

So when I try to write with my stylus its lighter that everything else.... Um..how do I did this? Like if I draw with my finger its fine. But my stylus doesnt work with this app

Mythical Productions July 19, 2017

I try to make a animation on this app, but it doesn't work!! And the frames dont work, an d it won't let me save my progress!! I want a refund!

Xikes Emi June 29, 2017

I have a strange issue on Galaxy Tab S3. Lines appear only when I release the stylus. No lines visible while drawing.

Hannah Benefield July 10, 2017

This is a great app for making hand drawn animations,but the reason I gave 4 stars is because it could use a feature to merge a layer to the one under it, and it would be nice if I were able to have a transparent background on exported GIFs. Overall this is a pretty good app, and I'm glad I bought it.

That Genderless Dog June 29, 2017

I made something good but I try to save it to my tablet and I can't upload it to YouTube and its really ticked me off, please please PLEASE fix it or at least tell me how

Zoe and sam and more May 6, 2017

I love the app I'm going to start be using this out more and more until I get better at first I was using flip a clip but it did not work but I need to ask one thing can you add the circle tool please???

Mr.Derpingstine July 13, 2017

Im having a problem with exporting, every time I try to export an animation it says "failed" every time and wont let me export my animation to my device. Please fix this.

MoonFlower June 17, 2017

The app is amazing but you should add a circle tool or text please.

Mauricio Arrieta June 29, 2017

Very nice animation app. The best in the store. Is perfect to keep practicing wherever you are and then come to a desktop T finish the work or just improve the visual quality. Perfect for practice. Thanks so much.

Elianna Peifer June 8, 2017

Sometime when I'm animating, it would freeze my tablet for a long tims, a then it would crash and then when I go back on that project (that was almost done) the resolution is 1x1, and I try to change it, it would just crash again please fix that problem because this is a great app worth the money
