If you like hand drawn animation this is only good iPad app. If you do cut out you’ll have to use something else. Hope the author is able to continue working on this and refining it.
Good but

I love the app but I really wish that you could import multiple audio clips because you can only add one. It would definitely make lip syncing and adding sound effects much easier. Also being able to move the audio clips around on the top bar! Thank you
Still the best

A year later and still the best. Thanks to the developer for making my iPad Pro a “portable animation studio” with this app.Forget the rest. I've tried all the "popular" ones and this one is the best. Easy to use with lots of advanced options. Works the best of the bunch with iPad Pro and Apple Pencil with no "subscriptions" or additional "credit" purchases required to get "features" or actually do something.If you want to get animation work done this is the app. If you want to keep paying for lesser features and functionality try one of the others.
So far pretty good!

Best animation program I've tried so far!BUT it has an issue most other programs don't have. I like to import audio that isn't on iTunes. An MP3 file. But I haven been able to find the way to do it?Please help! I'm trying to lip sync but I can't unless the audio is imported! Thanks!
- Bug fix: crash after using the lasso fill tool repeatedly
