FlipaClip: Cartoon Animation 4+

Amazing app, everything is alright and I’m super happy with it
But I have this problem where when an ad appears, it’s just a black screen with nothing on it except “safe ad” and “find out more” leading to nothing in those pages. I come back to the app and it’s still unskippable no matter what I do, and I’d have to refresh the app everytime I receive it.
I don’t know if it’s a bug or if its normal but could you please do something about it? I don’t want to refresh the app everytime it appears when I’m working on something. Overall, Working great and one of the best free animation apps ever!

Hello! We are really sorry to hear this and we would love to help! Please send us an email to support@visualblasters.com and our support team will be able to assist you. We look forward to hearing from you!

I’ve been using this app for so long and I never had any issues with it up until this last update.. Now whenever I open the app, the projects under the “all projects” tab take forever to appear. Furthermore, whenever I open any project, it also takes forever to actually open.. I’d have to wait like 30 seconds for the black screen to go away and for me to actually start drawing.. Please fix this asap :(

Update: I already have “canvas rotation” disabled and since I’m using an iPad, there’s no option for me to exclude FlipaClip from battery optimization (not that I’m optimizing it anyway).
I’m using an iPad Pro with 100gb worth of available space, so I don’t think the problem is with my device.. Though since I have so many projects/drawings saved on flipaclip (my storage says that flipaclip is taking up 140gb) could that be the reason why it takes such a long time for a project to open?
The problem only started happening after the last update, so if there’s anything you could do to fix it, it’ll be greatly appreciated!

Flipaclip is pretty well known as a serviceable program that's pretty decent. As a free choice it's pretty good since it provides different brushes like an airbrush, a text feature, video and audio recording, different canvas sizes, they also host some contests and have tutorials in the app. However:

- They keep changing the interface - for the worse
- "Flipaclip premium" or whatever is shoved constantly, it's even built into the interface, and it's now a subscription model, presumably to profit more
- Pay locks 4+ layers, merging layers, other brushes, audio download. You need to watch ads for using a feature once or completely paywalled
- They keep upping the amount of ads built into the app, now even if I'm just going into project settings an ad plays, or while I'm animating. Not cool, Flipaclip. I'd turn off internet.
- Videos need to take a layer and are limited to 30s unless you have premium

If you're broke (like me) this is a good free software paired with drawing programs and with some stacking and fiddling, the 3 layers limit could work.

Otherwise if you have money/want a better experience I'd recommend procreate/toonsquid as paid options. Ibis Paint X also has an animation feature although I've never tried it.

Thank you for contacting FlipaClip! We do our best to provide as many options as we can for free. There are costs associated with keeping the app available for download and updating it regularly. Offering some of our features as a subscription service allows us to offset some of these costs and put it back into making the app even better!
