Better than Stop Motion Studios

When I say it’s better, I MEAN it’s better. Not just because I like animating more than stop motion, but also because of the inApp purchases. I mean, you have to pay a lot of money to get things that a film NEEDS in Stop Motion Studios (well not needs, but stuff that can make a good movie with.) But here, Stick Nodes, it’s just sound you buy. And in my opinion sound isn’t that important, you can just import your movies into iMovies and then add sounds there (but I think I like the sound effects in Stick Nodes more.) I mean, the game is so simple and yet so GOOD. I highly recommend this for beginning animators. It’s hard making stickmen for me so I use templates. My only suggestion: just keep updating. Fix lag for other people (my ping is fine right now, but I heard not so much for others.) Currently I am making a Naruto Vs Sasuke video, and I will plan to an Among Us movie with Stick Nodes. Especially during quarantine, this is a good time to download this, I really enjoy it. Thanks for making this game. 👍

Updated: Thanks for the response, I see now that there are more to Pro than I realized, I might actually get it since I’m planing on getting a better Laptop which might be better than getting things that might lag my old phone. Thanks for the updates, and keep up the good work. 👍

Developer Response ,

Thanks for the review! Glad you like it. Still working on updates ;) Btw just for the record, Pro has more than just sound. There's also filters (blur, glow, etc) which is pretty neat. To your point though, these aren't "required" things so ppl can get by just fine with the Free version.

✨this game✨ 🌚🌝🌚🌝🌚🌝 ,

Amazing

I have had this for half a year now, using it off and on but I am consistently impressed by the quality of the app. I have made some animations that aren’t like the featured ones but I’m still very proud of them and I feel like this app is the best thing. It is an ✨ amazing ✨ app. It is also a really good time waster because you can spend a lot of time on a few frames. All in all? This is the 3rd most used app on my iPad and I have a lot, the other 2 are a drawing app and Roblox.

Edit: right after writhing this I realized that Ralph leaves personalized responses to the comments. 😮 he also leaves comments on the stuff to download at the stick nodes website. Ralph, keep up the good work.

Edit 2: I have had this for almost 7 months now and I still don’t know how to make a custom fig. With all the minute details that some of the ones available for download have. I mean, downloading them is easier and usually they would be better than what I could make anyways but I would still like to be able to make my, so maybe a tutorial? And also, the meme face thing, I don’t mind it, I’m just wondering what it is.

Thanks a lot, I'm glad you enjoy it! As for making a custom figure, I believe you mean you don't know how to make a "good" (subjective) figure, not necessarily how to do it at all (under "Library Tools", do "Create stickfigure"). As for making good figures, there is skill involved, but it really boils down to just messing around with the tools and learning what does what, there's also a lot of good tutorials on YT, search for "watch me make/build/etc" keywords with "stick nodes" where people just record the screen of them making things, watch their process.

I love this game but...

This game is so appealing to me and many others. The only things I ask for is #1. Instructions. I just got the free version of this app but I have no idea how to do anything besides animate with the normal stickman. I know you have been getting alot of requests for this but this would change ALOT of what People can do. #2. Accounts. I don’t need one myself but I want to help others about this. Let’s say someone who has this game is getting a new electronic ( phone, tablet, etc.) how are they going to get their animations on that new electronic? An account. This game is so much fun and I think it would be better if you could add an account. #3. More stuff on the free version! I just think something is missing when I play. I think that having some filters on the free version would be nice to have. Some people can’t get the pro version so they can’t get any filters. But besides that, good job and keep doing what you are doing!

Developer Response ,

Thank you for the rating! I know that is my bad, I keep intending on making a quick-yet-thorough tutorial video that can be displayed in the app to just give new users a quick rundown of how to do things. Will be happening soon. 2) I agree with the accounts thing, for now the best method is to use a computer with iTunes and grab all the Stick Nodes data, put it on your computer, plug in new device, and drag-drop the data onto that device (all through iTunes "File Sharing" section).
