Animation Studio for Negative User Reviews
✓ HorribleIt's way to sensitive, I can't make anything because it keeps changing to the next picture. I can't delete the work I don't like $5.49 Wasted..Version: 3.4.1
✓ Use to be goodApp use to be good. Latest update and iOS 6 useless..Version: 3.2.1
✓ Come on!Do the people who make this stuff, test it out before releasing it? Come on, it's slow and it freezes. Put some oil in the gear box and get it running smoothly..Version: 3.4.0
✓ Needs smoothingWithout smoothing the images look tough for an idea of smoothing look at adobe ideas please update.Version: 0
✓ I want my money backDarn! This is so frustrating to use. It is not responsive, buttons are delayed, no easy tutorial or tips. Not user friendly. I want my money back! :*-(.Version: 3.6.0
✓ GLITCHYTHIS ANIMATION APP DOES NOT WORK THE SOUND DOESNT IT CANT SAVE TO MAY FRAMES OVER FOURTY IT SLOW AND HORRIBLE GET ANIMATION CREATER NOT THIS ONE.Version: 3.5.0
✓ Needs workThe apps ok, no instructions really but u can guess what most of the tools do and how they work. The main problem with the app that needs to get sorted is that it only does 8frames per second, the minimum for something to be classed as animation is 12 and even that's not great. Improve the fps and the app would be worthing spending the time on using.Version: 0
✓ MiserableTricky software that hangs and crashes. It's great when it works, though. The Preview page makes the frames too small to see small actions clearly. That makes copying frames a problem. This can be done only one at a time, so repeating a sequence isn't easy. The software stability is the real problem. If it were to work, it'd be a lovely iPad animation programme..Version: 3.2.2
✓ So far 👎🏾Limited characters and not user friendly. A good tutorial is needed since this app isn't popular..Version: 3.6.0
✓ Will not useA lot of the menu items don't work and it's frustrating a waste of money the free version is better.Version: 3.6.0
✓ No email with this appI would like to know why you can't do the most basic function with this APP and that is to Email the animation. This app will not email the animation,it will only email 1 frame..I have never seen a 1 frame animation..so if you want to send your animation through email like we want to ...FOGET IT..Version: 2.8
✓ Good App, but Keeps CrashingI like this app VERY much, and even spent up to about 5 hours making an amazing 525 frame animation. I could load 525 frames without any problem. However, I have a small 75 frame one that I NEED for school, and it won't load. I would even be willing to start over (If I had to), but the app doesnt work anymore, it just keeps on crashing. I would give this app five stars, but it is a good app, with bugs to be worked out.Version: 3.1
✓ Needs improvementsOk and shows potential. Needs an easy way to access the timeline so frames can be moved, deleted or arranged. An onscreen timeline is obviously needed to make this app look and operate like a true animation tool..Version: 3.0.1
✓ Needs an interface redesignBy scanning through the menu one can tell that this program has a lot of powerful features but the interface design is not intuitive and hinders the overall user experience. Certain (very common) functions require multiple menu selections, which slows down the work flow process. I really WANTED to like this program but unfortunately this is a good example of how the menu/user interface can dramatically hinder a programs usability..Version: 3.0.1
✓ BuggyTakes ages to respond, won't insert new characters. Waste of time and money..Version: 3.3.1
✓ Not the bestIt's good but I have trouble getting stuff on and keeping it there also getting to change the page I say don't waste your money by buying this.Version: 3.0.1
✓ One major thingI love the new updates. However one major thing for me, when I bring up the video menu and hit play the menu does not go away. Thus I can't see a big part of my animation because the play window is right in the way. Am I the only one with this problem?.Version: 0
✓ Great start. Bad endThis app started out great! Feature rich and easy to use. 5 star worth. After a couple hours of work, there is a point where the app no longer renders the video. The app crashes every time u make a render with more then 140 frames. At 4 frames per second, it's just over 30 seconds. Very disappointing.Version: 3.3.2
✓ Good Idea - Needs A Lot of Bugs FixedThis would be a great app if several things were different. Crashes constantly - I don't know if it is a memory issue or just a resources intensive app but it keeps crashing. The bummer is that it crashes in the middle of a project and I have lost a lot of work and time. I also can't add audio because as soon a I hit the audio button the app crashes. No Instructions or support - You really have to figure this one out on your own. Their website has no way to communicate with support or the developers that I could find. Not user friendly - You have to jump back and forth between menu's to add frames review your work. The buttons don't always do what they are supposed to do as well. Can't manipulate a copied frame - you have to completely re-draw the next frame to make it different so the annimation will work. It would be nice if you could make adjustment to the previous slides content. Now I might be wrong about some of these things but like I said, there is no support so if there is a way to do some if these things you would know or be able to find any information about it..Version: 0
✓ It's too complicatedIt's way too complicated.Version: 3.2.2
✓ RubbishThe performance is poor, the quality of the sounds with the instruments is slow and poor, the usage of the tools is poor and frustrating!! Please update this guys! It seriously has potential! >:/.Version: 0
✓ Crap!!You can't export anything from this app so it's a waste of time and money!!!!.Version: 3.3.1
✓ Don't waste your money on this.Seriously! When I bought this app, it damaged my Netflix app. It keeps freezing. Try Animation Creator. It's more worth it..Version: 3.6.0
✓ There are way better apps.It's really great to use, but there are tons and TONS of issues. *There is a problem where I will be working, and then the app suddenly bugs out and quits back to my home screen, which makes me lose my current work. That happened to me earlier and I got very upset because I lost an animation i'd been working on for days. It would be nice if you could put a 'save automatically' function. *Easier instructions. It took me a VERY long time to learn how to use this app. Tutorial didn't help at all. I had to figure things out mostly on my own. *Zoom functions! It is very hard to draw small things from a far distance, so you need to put in a zoom function. The whole 'you have no zoom' automatically takes away a star. *Very hard to maneuver. It takes a very, very long time for it to save, and the buttons are very far apart and hard to reach if you are engaged in your animation. *The paint tool (more like the 'pain tool'). I will blend my colors to create the color that I want, and when I go to the next frame, the color will be gone and it's nearly impossible to get the color back. It makes the animation look sloppy because of the color changes. If you could, make it so that I don't loose my current color when I go to the next frame. Y'know what? Forget what I said at the beginning of this review 'it's really great to use'. This app stinks. Don't get it. I can animate better with a piece of paper and a pencil!.Version: 3.2
✓ Horrible ..and I am by profession an animatorThis app probably scraped by Apple's approval process and after they did get approval, they likely changed their site to disallow any interaction with customers. My sense about both this maker given my experience with this poorly designed "thing" is the entire effort and company is a scam. I finally gave up and deleted it from my iPad. Beware the positive reviews below. Anybody with any sense at all knows how these reviews can be gamed - especially in the world of young boys and their toys (which this stuff seems to attract many of). As a pro in the animation world with many years in development as well, this one word for you: BEWARE!!! I tried to simply import a "photo" as a layout to use. This I could only do by importing the image as a background. Ok, fine. Then I tried to enlarge the imported image and rotate it into proper place. This was ridiculously difficult. Instead of utilizing standardized UI from common applications (UI which has now become ubiquitous), this thing has its own ideas of how to scale, for example. I just gave up. And I am going to ask for a refund. I have both a BFA and MFA in animation and worked for 35 years in the field. I am fluent in using AE, etc. but this app just wasted my time..Version: 3.1
✓ Rubbish AppI bought this app and there are no instructions on how to use it.I'm going to delete it .Do yourself a favour and spend your money on something useful.Not this..Version: 0
✓ UselessUseless keeps crashing every few pen strokes. How can you get away selling such faulty software.Version: 3.6.0
✓ Total garbage.This is an awful app and I hope you don't waste your time and money buying it. There are so many problems with the confusing user interface especially with how complicated it is. For instance there should be a tool in every animation app to move objects from one spot on one frame to another spot on the next frame(try drawing a bouncing ball with the ball the same size in all the frames.) there might be a way to do it but it is not obvious. Then there is the extra useless stuff that is almost never going to be used like the animation clips and the smiley face why even have those in there? It is not even worth listing all the problems with this app that could easily be fixed. I'm going to get my money back because this is garbage. I'd give it one star but then people would think I I just gave it a bad review for the sake giving a bad review..Version: 3.4.1
✓ Waste of money!I brought this app so I could mess about wit my drawings but after it downloaded I tried writing something in The text part and it kept crashing and coming out of the app and it wasn't the 1st time it happens everytime I go into It!.Version: 0
✓ Good but.....Id give it 5 stars but wothout the ability to save the animations to the camera roll makes it worthless. No Help options or tech support email availabe either. It makes no sense to save just 1 pic at a time to the camera roll, i mean it is "Animation" isnt it? There are plenty of free apps that allow you to paste pictures on pictures & save them. This app is a complete waste of money. Emailing a single frame doesnt even work.Version: 0
✓ Animation Studio reviewTerrible app, i cant belive i just payed 59p fir that because it was a complete waste of money. If you want to buy a half decent animation app then buy 'stick it animation' instead of this crap.Version: 0
✓ Not badThe idea is great and over all it's a lot of fun, however, my biggest gripe is the fact that there is a lag at times that makes drawing almost impossible. You try to draw a circle and half the circle is missing or a circle gets cut in half. An annoying bug when your trying to draw a head. Gladly raise the rating if that bug gets fixed..Version: 0
✓ DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEYYa know, I didn't even download the update for this app. Why? Well, this was once a good app but needless updates have ruined it. Therefore I am afraid to update it anymore in fear of it getting even worse (if that's possible). I guess morons must make these stupid updates. I don't know. What I do know is that you will probably regret downloading this latest update, that is if you haven't already deleted this app from your iPhone or iPad..Version: 3.4.1
✓ Total junk!Well, I got stung on this one! The app is junk. Not worth installing if it was free!.Version: 3.2.1
✓ MThis is rubbish. Do not buy.Version: 3.5.0
✓ Not intuitive and no real helpI haven't been able to figure this app out. I'd really like to be able to use this for animated storyboards for production planning, but other than drawing a single stick figure, I haven't been able to do much more — like duplicate cells and make slight modifications or anything beyond a simple drawing program. I'd up the number of stars if they'd put a little question mark icon leading to a decent help function..Version: 0
✓ BadI hate this app don't buy it I wish I could get my 99 cents back.Version: 3.2.1
✓ I'm sorryBut this app is buggy. I want to like it but it needs more refinement. Now the instructions have disappeared, now they are back. Pages lag, sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. Restart helps, but that gets old fast. I'll hang on to it in hopes the developers can improve it. I'd love to give it 5 stars but it does not deserve them..Version: 3.0
✓ Boring!!!!!I once got this app from the App Store many weeks ago just because I thought it would be interesting. But, a couple minutes after I downloaded the app, I found the graphics boring, the pencil/marker textures boring, the animation replays aren't professional creations, and the piano sounds are just horrible and echoes after you play a single note. So, if I were you, I wouldn't get the app. Just boring..Version: 0
✓ UnreliableProgram stopped working after a few goes .... Then started to work again. Seems quite fun when it is up and running..Version: 3.4.1
✓ If only the bugs were squashed...I'd love to give this app a great review. I've been using it since the first version and the latest pass brought lots of new functionality. Unfortunately it brought so many bugs that it became too unreliable to use. I'd been using this as a tool to create classroom animations, but with crashes constantly blowing away work, I had to switch to another app. Please fix this up, I'd like to come back..Version: 3.0
✓ Frustrating tool with room for improvementI have a couple of beefs with this tool. My biggest complaint is the tool is built for the iPhone which really limits the landscape support. For instance, any picture imported or pasted is automatically brought in rotated to portrait view despite how you may be holding your iPad. The app also needs background support badly. I'm hoping these items and others will be improved over time as this app could really be the premiere animation tool on the iPad..Version: 3.2
✓ DumbI WANT MY MONEY BACK IF YOU DONT I WILL RIGHT A CONPLAN ABOUT THIS.Version: 3.6.0
✓ TerribleI want my $8 back!!! Ordinary.Version: 3.6.0
✓ Backgrounds BustedI downloaded this with the intention of animating over images from my Camera Roll, but Animation Studio either won't import them in the correct orientation, or if it does it squashes them in one dimension to fit the frame, which is useless. I probably won't use it..Version: 3.5.0
✓ Slow and unresponsiveThe app is slow to open everything and often unresponsive. It freezes my ipad often and can't do some of the functions it's meant to such as animate over a picture..Version: 3.4.0
✓ Uhg.Fun little app but I keep getting booted out of it. What's up with that?.Version: 3.0
✓ Not good for cartoonsSeeing that this had a 5 star review, I bought this to animate cartoon shorts. Soon after I opened the app I found out that the way you color on this app is annoying. Wherever it overlaps, it makes your color extra dark so you can see every individual stroke, which I don't like. If you like that kind of thing, to ahead, but if you plan to do any kind of simple cartoon animation, this app is not for you. This app is also non intuitive and complicated. Again, not for simple animations. Would only recommend for hardcore animators who need the extra controls and painting style..Version: 3.3.1
✓ Not goodDon't buy this app it's very basic and isn't very good.Version: 3.2
✓ Needs TutorialI would not advise purchasing this app until it has some form of instructions (it's "manual" explains very little). It's not intuitive at all and there are no tutorials online. I've created other animations using other apps and found them to be far easier to use. If you view the video on their website, you will see a man doodling on a blank page but doing nothing in the way of actually demoing how to animate, integrate layers, etc. What a shame..Version: 3.2.2
✓ This is good but too many problemsThis a good animation app I would of rated it 5 stars but all the time when I go into the app some of my frames that I worked on were gone then I reloaded it it came back but loading something 2 times is a way waste of my time. Also when I'm editing on my movie it freezes for 3 minutes that is also wasting of my time. And for me it takes like 7 minutes to load one animation and lastly this glitches a lot PLEASE FIX!!!.Version: 3.1
✓ This is the worst app in the worldIt can't do any and it's a rip off piece of crap and I'm only giving it a star because I have to.Version: 3.5.0
✓ Only a ToyBasically unusable at 148 frames. Unexplainably slow to load and to save. Crashes and loses large amounts of work, but slow performance discourages frequent saving. Button layout needs a rethink - frequently used buttons should be up top - copy frame, add frame, delete frame, etc. Copy and paste is crude - no precision in copying. Drop 60 percent of the features, improve the rest, fix your slow algorithms..Version: 3.1
✓ Not greatUsed it for a couple of days and it is quite disappointing. It closes for no reason and lags very badly especially when you have more and more frames open..Version: 3.4.1
✓ Not worth the money.Got this for my 9y old son. He was super excited. Made his first video and it won't upload to YouTube, send in email or save to the iPad. Pretty useless when you can't export the video to anything. Very disappointed..Version: 3.6.0
✓ Good features, poor designThe layout of the buttons is poorly thought out on the iphone. Once I had a few frames with multiple layers, the program slowed down enough that taps to open the right tool drawer caused a new frame to be added. The same problem with add and remove frame buttons placed next to forward and back buttons on the animation cell menu. While it should have been easy to remove an unwanted frame, a bug in the program caused previously correct layers to "update" in strange unwanted ways. Save your work often! I haven't yet been able to import a background image that was shot in landscape format. The program automatically resizes and rotates the image 90 degrees. Trying to use the element tools to undo this transformation is still beyond me. The developer's website ought to have a few video tutorials to walk you through how to use the app. An easy way to report bugs would be nice, too..Version: 3.1
