Ratings and Reviews
Pretty good app
The layout is a little hard to get used to but my only complaint is that you can only import audio through Apple Music and not your own files.
Developer Response ,
Hello there, Thank you for letting us know your needs. We'll inform the Animation Desk team of your suggestion. If you have any further questions, please feel free to let us know. Thank you!
Excellent
Ever since childhood I always wanted to animate, but I had to do it in little flip books, where you couldn’t have sound, or music, and you couldn’t film it unless you had a huge amount of expensive equipment. Now years later, thanks to the iPad Pro, and this amazing app, I can do everything I always wanted. I have tried to use other animation apps and they were incredibly technical and irritating to use. What I like about Animation Desk, is that it feels the same way as what it was like to animate in those notebooks I had as a child, it’s not complicated or tedious, and feels very free and smooth. The only drawback of the app, is that you can’t do looping backgrounds if you’re character is running, and there are no camera moves. I highly recommend this app.

Hello noelnen, thank you for sharing this with us. Our goal is to make animating accessible to people, so everyone can use animation as a way to tell their stories. Thanks for choosing Animation Desk. We can't tell you how happy we are to know that the app is helping. We also note down your suggestions about the looping background.

I liked this when it first came out. Then the money came in and yeah you improved a things, but I remember doing an animation I really liked on it. Decided I want to share on Instagram. No such option to share your own work except through their own Animation Desk social platform. You these subscriptions so they can tell you what you’re allow to do with your animation. I wanted to export videos to compile in After Effects. Even this was awkward. I use Rough Animator and it’s far better.

Hi Keaneye, thank you for your feedback. We will add in more social media options in the future update. In the current version, users can export video to the photo video and share the video to other social media.
