FlipaClip is so amazing and useful if you want to be good at animating, especially because it has layers, and if you have the premium version like me, it can also give you the option to add an unlimited number of layers instead of just 3, I also like that they have onion skin, which is a ghost version of the previous drawing if you didn't know, and not only that, but it can also be colored red and green depending on how you set the “layers before” and “layers after” thing higher, there is just one more thing that I'd like to mention, I can do other cool things like adding voice, music, or just any old type of audio from my files, and I can copy keyframes very easily, and if you guys have that problem where you end up not copying every single layer, you can always hold a keyframe down and then you'll have the option to add a frame onto the next frame or the previous frame and even add a blank frame on the next frame or previous frame, this is a perfect way to add in -betweens on your animation, so anyway, that's it for my rating. I would like to suggest a few things for an update, for example, when you use the fill bucket tool, you can decide how transparent the color will be. I’d also like to make a suggestion, I was thinking it would be a good idea to add a button that says “ lip-sync”. When you press that button, FlipaClip listens to the audio you added to your animation, and then it adds a set of mouths that will match the sound you're making.

I honestly ADORE this app! I have a OBSESSION with it. I just don’t use it as much as I want to because I have homework to do and I’m planning to go to a different Chinese school because that one has less homework and three free classes that aren’t about Chinese. Anyway, back to the story. Again, I love this app and is the first animation app I ever used and just by watching some people review this app(one of those”testing free animation apps to see which one is best”),I can pretty much tell a lot of people like this. I also watch a lot of animators and many of them use FlipaClip. Why do I keep getting sidetracked? I still don’t know. Anyways, I only have a few things that I slightly bug me. The ruler is amazing, but could you add other shapes? All I want is hearts,stars and triangles, that’s all. Also, in the tutorial, it didn’t mention some things, like making the tools bigger or smaller and changing canvas size and shape. Overall, I think I learned most things now. But even so, I am still a bit bugged about it. I am truly sorry if I was rude or picky, people sometimes want things that they can’t get you know? I am also very sorry to anyone who reads this review because it might of wasted their time. I hope this was help that’s all.

I’ve been using FlipAClip for around six years now. I always found it to be the best, most accessible resource for animation and was very loyal to it because of that. I payed for the subscription to get rid of adverts and to gain access to more features that would make my animation easier. The issue came when I got a new phone. My new phone was more powerful for animation, and would help me be able to create animations without the app crashing due to how low quality my phone previously was. But no big deal, I had already paid for my subscription on my account and I had no animations of value stored on my old phone that I would need to transfer over. That was until I found out that it was, in fact, a big deal, because not only did it remove the subscription on my account that mind you, I paid for, but it also charged me more money than I initially paid, and asked that I pay it monthly. That was not what I had previously paid, and while I’d understand if that was the new subscription, I had already paid for a subscription which was said to be permanent. For that reason, I’ve moved to other softwares for animation due to being unable to pay for their now, more expensive subscription as a student. In my six years of using it, however, I can say it is one of the better softwares if you are willing to pay the fee for it’s extra features. It served me endless years of solid experience and was really easy to work once you got the hang of things, but the subscription issue as a whole put me off of it completely. I would highly recommend the software, but be weary of something similar maybe happening in the future xx

In general, Flipaclip fulfills a bit more the bare minimum of animation; you’ve got frames, a fill tool, a decent amount of brushes, layers, audio, etc etc. However, I’ve noticed the some bugs and how laggy this program has become. I would be editing a frame after scrubbing through the timeline, and i’d be sent to a random frame for instance, and deleting/copying frames from the timeline takes a couple of seconds to do when it should be done in less than one. Also, when i’m undoing some actions, it sometimes still leaves these small traces from the image before I undid; this is a pain to deal with, and it can’t be erased.This program needs more layers, 10 layers really isn’t enough for anything more than a basic animation without shading/effects, and merging layers is even risky to do because you can’t undo it and the Flipaclip may as well just erase 80% of your work while you’re at it. I do appreciate the addition of alpha lock and clipping mask, but if you are, for example, colouring lines, you’ll still see a bit of the previous colour, even if you completely fill the layer with a specific colour which is just annoying and really doesn’t make your artwork look nice.People who have previously paid for premium features before this subscription nonsense came to be should not see the diamond for “Flipaclip Plus”. This is more of a nitpick, but it’s really unnecessary.Overall, a solid program for beginners, but if you’re going to make more advanced animations or if you aren’t patient enough to put up with the amount of bugs, please just use Flash or even Toonsquid instead.
