  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. [R11] FlipArtify 5/5 · US Fun: Great fun so many cool features
  4. [R18] FlipArtify 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.
  5. [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.
  6. [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
  7. [R26] FlipArtify 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.
  8. [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…..
  9. [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.
  10. [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
  11. [R49] FlipArtify 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
  12. [R66] Animation Creator 3/5 · US It’s ok…: It has a lot of ads and doesn’t save unfinished projects, but otherwise good!
  13. [R7] FlipArtify 1/5 · US ADS: there are so many ads the app is completely unusable unless you pay
  14. [R15] FlipArtify 3/5 · US Adds and paywalls: Bro why is there always paywalls in dis kinda stuff
  15. [R90] Animation Creator 3/5 · US Too much: I have two problems with this don’t get me wrong. This is a good app. It just has too many ads. Too many way too many and I don’t know how to upload my videos to YouTube. It doesn’t give you a full tutorial.
  16. [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.
  17. [R4] FlipArtify 1/5 · US deleted after approximately 1 and a half minutes: ads every other second
  18. [R17] FlipArtify 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
  19. [R35] FlipArtify 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.
  20. [R75] Animation Creator 3/5 · US STOP THE ADS: I don’t care if this freaking goes on the helpful stuff but stop the ads. There’s an ad every 15 seconds and you expect me to pay you $100 a year or something. No I’m not going to Dumbo but I mean it does kinda teach you how to animate but seriously no
