Latest update · v1.6.8

What the developer says changed (the verdict above weighs this against what reviewers report):

Optimize app performance

Recurring themes

Ads & Paywalls negative
The most prevalent complaint is the overwhelming number of ads, which appear every few seconds or minutes, often interrupting drawing or loading. Many essential features, such as adding frames or layers, are locked behind premium subscriptions or require watching multiple ads, leading users to feel the app is a 'money grab' or 'scam'. Some users even report ads covering the drawing area or appearing immediately upon opening the app.R1R5R6R7
Performance & Bugs negative
Users report various technical issues, including glitches, lag, the app not saving progress after ads, tools stopping mid-drawing, and difficulty with landscape mode. The developer's recent update notes claim to "Optimize app performance," but recent reviews continue to report these issues, indicating the update may not have fully addressed them.R35R48R52R60
Ease of Use / Features mixed
Some users find the app fun and easy for basic animation, appreciating the tutorials and ability to adjust speed. However, others struggle with the interface, especially without a stylus, and desire more advanced features like copy/move tabs, rotating objects, or more than a few frames in the free version.R8R10R14R15

Who it's for

This app is for users who want to try basic animation and are willing to either tolerate a constant barrage of ads or pay for a premium subscription R30R35. It might appeal to beginners who appreciate guided drawing R51R66. It is NOT for users who expect a fully functional free animation tool, dislike frequent interruptions, or require advanced features without payment R1R11.

Evidence note: The vast majority of recent negative reviews focus on the excessive ads and paywalls. While there are some positive reviews, they are often brief and do not outweigh the detailed complaints about monetization, suggesting a strong negative trajectory despite the lifetime rating.

  1. [R8] 5/5 · US Fun: Great fun so many cool features
  2. [R30] 4/5 · US ! Noice: really good the animation is fun. I don’t care about the ads. It gives you a little break or you could just pay $29 each year. really fun you can sketch on templates and do animations.
  3. [R47] 5/5 · US The star: The app was so fun I got to draw animation and movies i like that u get to make animations
  4. [R66] 5/5 · US Great game: So I was playing a game then I saw this ad and the ad starting cracking me up 🤣🤣🤣🤣. I was like saying FAHHHHH the whole time. We I saw the animations fighting I was like “I wanna make that” so I downloaded the app and it’s great. 👍🏻 You can make any animations. And there are step by step instructions on how to make them. You should try this app.
  5. [R51] 5/5 · US ❤: I love how at first it shows you how to draw it first and then it gets animated
  6. [R68] 5/5 · US Awsome: It taught me first steps and you don’t have to pay. You can adjust the speed! Great!
  7. [R87] 5/5 · US Awesome app: Awesome animation app gotta be better than any other app besides the ads if you like your back, I know what you’re gonna say about the ads so don’t say it but you get the animation and there’s the tutorials for some animations
  8. [R6] 1/5 · US deleted after approximately 1 and a half minutes: ads every other second
  9. [R11] 1/5 · US ADS: there are so many ads the app is completely unusable unless you pay
  10. [R15] 2/5 · US Would be good but one big problem: It is a very good drawing app ( if you have an apple pen) but the reason it's two stars is because WAY too many ads. Every note is two ads, like the two star review.
  11. [R27] 1/5 · US I tried to use it for 30 sec, then I get 50 sec adds, then 30 sec, then 50 sec adds???: The adds cover 50% of the drawing landscape? How is anyone supposed to know if this app is good if you can’t use it? At least make 1st time visitors add free bro 😂 then after a day bring the adds, you can’t expect sell product that the customer can’t see, very poor app, also you can’t zoom in…..
  12. [R1] 1/5 · US Money grab: PLEASE FIX THE FACT THAT YOU CANT ACTUALLY MAKE A MOVIE WITHOUT PAYING FOR PREMIUM!!!!! 🙏 please
  13. [R5] 3/5 · US Good but kinda greedy: It’s good but I have to watch an add or pay just to add another layer
  14. [R20] 3/5 · US Adds and paywalls: Bro why is there always paywalls in dis kinda stuff
  15. [R57] 1/5 · US 3 FRAMES Only: I have to pay for more then 3 frames!
  16. [R48] 2/5 · US Good, but annoying: This is a really nice app, until you discover dozens of ads every minute. It’s so annoying and I got stuck with a bunch of ads, so I closed it and went back in, and it didn’t even save any of the data from the project I made.
  17. [R60] 4/5 · US READ THIS! PLEASE DO SOMETHING: First things first, guys come on ! There are adds every minute! And there is always a glitch like it’s never saving my work after adds and then when I try to draw it doesn’t do anything!🤬😤😤 😤😤😤😤😤😤 😤and I’ve already tried refreshing the app but then my work is all messed up PLEASE DO SOMETHING
  18. [R71] 1/5 · US Read this please 🙏🏼 1 ⭐️ ☹️: You really need to see this see this! Not my favorite it deleted all my progress (I tried 7 times no joke) and took forever to load. some of the utensils would stop working mid drawing and it would mess me up and I was using the same line for a lot of things so the redo button wouldn’t do me any good BTW, love the redo button but yes, I tried to download it later t
  19. [R79] 2/5 · US My explanation.: I’m not good at explaining things but this game is annoying every time I get an ad my drawings disappear like I never drew anything and sometimes it doesn’t even save my drawings and sometimes the game barely works, there is too much ads. This is coming from a 13 year-old girl by the way, Whoever controls the App Store, y’all should never have someone younger then 15 or 16 tell y’
  20. [R12] 1/5 · US Scammed: I received this ad on YouTube of this app which was about this app and the ad it looked amazing at first but the ad was a stolen video and when I downloaded the app from the ad it looked nothing like the app.
  21. [R16] 1/5 · US This sucks: It has so many ads appearing at the bottom and the only way to do it is with a phone pen and also it is not like the adds
  22. [R24] 1/5 · US Flip artify review: horrible app too many ads. they steel ever videos from ever content don’t get it 😡
  23. [R19] 4/5 · US Better each day of this game,but good for now: Is going well,easy creations,good and fun things the only negative thing is that while I’m in car or house without pencil or Apple Pencil,I struggle.,So like you can do a fight with that or other,I still like it without Subscriptions,is easy the game so I like it and I give it 4 Stars,so good and better for each day.
  24. [R29] 5/5 · US Terrible: You need to watch a 30 second ad just to add one frame, and without a stylus you can’t draw!!! Terrible app. Do Not Buy unless you want to buy premium
  25. [R81] 5/5 · US Good amazing: I only gave this five stars. Everything else would see it again that’s way too many adds i’m already thinking about deleting and you need an Apple Pencil for the drawings to look good
  26. [R21] 3/5 · US It could be better: First, there is a lot of pop ups and adds, and I want to be free in animation, not only having four frames. This could be better.
  27. [R7] 3/5 · US One problem: TOO MANY ADDS
  28. [R35] 4/5 · US Read this hack to avoid ads: Little complaint, really glitchy but super satisfying. The heck is that you can turn on airplane mode and since the ads run on Internet, you won’t have to deal with ads anymore only when you pull up the app and you start doing stuff with it like loading it up in your screen anyway that’s all I need to share. I hope one of the workers see this and spread it out to all t
  29. [R52] 1/5 · US Too many ads and AI generated content: Took five minutes to get in the app because they had wouldn’t close and then it wouldn’t work in landscape mode on my iPad
  30. [R10] 5/5 · US Make your own video!: Ice · translated
  31. [R14] 5/5 · US Best animation ever: Five star
  32. [R13] 5/5 · US Too many ads: The good thing about it is that it’s very fun to play with and stuff but the negative Thing is that when I press the thing I mean every five seconds it has a ad or something or it’s taking a break I mean, I just saw a ad so that’s a what I don’t like about that like about the game
  33. [R49] 1/5 · US Just why?: I downloaded this app so that I could have another animation app so that I can draw stuff so that I can have it on my YouTube channel but of course this has mad ads. I tried making one singular animation and it gave me 63 ads per millisecond. It was so annoying and the ad weren’t even good. The worst I was at the animation app was awful cause whenever I tried drawing it just messed me u
