Ratings and reviews

so far the best app if you want to learn to animate! you can read it even when offline! you can learn a lot from head turn animation to walking and running cycle animation etc.100% good to use if you're just starting out and you don't have to pay a lot of money and study which is expensive, even if it's just this, it's okay❤️❤️

I still don't know why this app has so many low ratings.. Probably some idiots thought the app would magically and miraculously make them a pro without practice?? The illustrations and tutorials used in the app are simple and very effective. They just don't bombard you with theories, but they actually SHOW you how to do stuff. Like frame by frame pictured and detailed tutorials on how to animate a flying bird, a front walking cycle, a four legged animal walking and a ton of other useful stuff.

This app is good for learn animation. Dear developer please add more exercise in this app please🙏 because there were many people to love❤ animation And learn how to make own animation. Sorry ,my English is not good.
