  1. [R1] FlipArtify 1/5 · US Money grab: PLEASE FIX THE FACT THAT YOU CANT ACTUALLY MAKE A MOVIE WITHOUT PAYING FOR PREMIUM!!!!! 🙏 please
  2. [R3] FlipArtify 3/5 · US Good but kinda greedy: It’s good but I have to watch an add or pay just to add another layer
  3. [R10] FlipArtify 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.
  4. [R11] FlipArtify 5/5 · US Fun: Great fun so many cool features
  5. [R4] FlipArtify 1/5 · US deleted after approximately 1 and a half minutes: ads every other second
  6. [R13] FlipArtify 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.
  7. [R16] FlipArtify 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
  8. [R7] FlipArtify 1/5 · US ADS: there are so many ads the app is completely unusable unless you pay
  9. [R31] FlipArtify 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…..
  10. [R40] FlipArtify 1/5 · US Not ”free” and not usable.: This ”app” is a honey trap. It has so many ads it’s unusable and it costs $5 a week or $30 a year to remove the ads. I couldn’t even get past the loading ads to see if I liked the interface before being almost tricked into paying. Don’t waste your time.
  11. [R43] FlipArtify 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.
  12. [R15] FlipArtify 3/5 · US Adds and paywalls: Bro why is there always paywalls in dis kinda stuff
  13. [R6] FlipArtify 3/5 · US One problem: TOO MANY ADDS
  14. [R63] FlipaClip 3/5 · US Not fair: Why do you make all the helpful and nice things cost money? I’m 9 going on 10 and i cant even add the sound i want without the app trying to force me to pay for premium and also the adds arev very disruptive. I am disappointed that i thought it would be diffrent
  15. [R64] FlipaClip 2/5 · US Ads, greedy.: If you want a simple animation it does the job but it’s exetremely annoying because you have to pay money just to add sound. You could buy the whatever it is and you’ll just get what you’d expect to be free. They really don’t need that much money, they’re just greedy asf and want more. And the every time I want to play my animation it shoves an ad that I’ll never buy a product from i
  16. [R72] FlipaClip 3/5 · US Pretty Good, just a couple of things that make it annoying: Flipaclip is amazing. Super easy to use, even on my phone.I can understand why this is a thing but it stills frustrates me, the fact that I can’t use my own music in my animation without the pass. I get it of course, but it still makes it tedious for me to use other editing software so I don’t have to spend any money doing a hobby I enjoy
  17. [R81] FlipaClip 3/5 · US Read this please!!!: Honestly its asking for to much whenever I do something, I go to add more onion that suddenly costs money, I do more than six seconds cost money, I cant even do anything without paying so thats 3 stars and flipaclip used to be better than this, you guys are acting money hungry and asking for to much!! Also your app is awesome but I don’t know if you can help me out because I c
  18. [R47] FlipArtify 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
  19. [R95] FlipaClip 5/5 · US Information 🤓: Annoyed by ads? It’s easy to get rid of them for free :D just turn off your wi-fi :) ( this is if you can’t buy subscription and ads annoy you :3)
