Create storyboards: draw, arrange, time, write, and animate. Use the simple drawing interface to sketch a panel or import (with drag and drop) from any other app. Set the timing, write dialog, action, and SFX for each panel. Play the board back as an animatic to get a feel of your final project. Export as a video, PDF, HTML, images, or text file. Timing can be as small as a single frame, so real-time animations can be demonstrated within the board. Tap on the "scene" circles to increment the scene count (swipe to decrement). Made for iPad, works on iPhone.

Paid for premium. Enjoying the app but slightly disappointed.

I never really rewrite reviews, but art is kind of my thing and I feel strongly enough to leave a review. I initially wanted to leave a four star because, as simplistic as it is, I really do feel like this app has potential. But for what it is, it keeps crashing every so often which is, for lack of a better word, frustrating to deal with. Luckily I haven’t lost any work. It’s also frustrating because this is an issue you wouldn’t learn of unless you pay for it. I didn’t mind since it was only about 4.99 or so. Maybe there should be a beta version of the app that’s open until a fully developed version releases, although it doesn’t feel like updates are being made at all. I’m working from 2021 entry level ipad with enough storage so pardon me if I sound rude, but for as long as this app has been on the play store, I don’t see how an issue like this wouldn’t have been resolved by now. In good news, I like the app because of how simplistic it is. I wish more layers could be implemented or that layers could be swapped around. I also think the ability to cut something from one layer to add it to another would be great. In all, my only issues are the constant crashes with no crash report and the archaic layers system.

Decent But Lots of Glitches

This works decently well, but I run into tons of bugs every time I use it. Exporting my animatics as a video never works correctly — each export will randomly drop some of the boards, the codec that it uses isn’t compatible with many different apps (trying to send the animatic to myself over Discord to get it onto my pc never works), the undo button sometimes gets stuck and doesn’t work, duplicate button sometimes randomly does nothing, etc etc. Would love to give it 5 stars because it’s nice to be able to storyboard on my iPad but the number of bugs make it hard to really support, especially after paying for pro. Would happily switch to another better app

Too many bugs

I have purchased full version of this software but there are few annoying bugs. The most important - export doesn’t work. I have about 86 panels in my storyboard and every time I try to export it in any format the program crashes and closes. I have tried to export in any format that is available and none of them work. After trying everything I could I have found a workaround - turning off a watermark in settings fixed export issues. 2. Duplicating the panel within the workspace works sporadically. Sometime it works, sometime it only duplicates couple of last strokes. 3.Duplicating a panel within the EDIT menu crashes and closes the program. 4. The most annoying bug is that sometimes everything you draw on one of the layers vanishes. One moment it’s there, you come out of the panel into the storyboard view and it’s gone. You have to draw it all again. 5. You can’t export a single panel. This is very inconvenient if you’re making any changes! I emailed the developer but never heard from them. Changing to one star.

I may be new, but there’s some red flags

Roblox is just UGH 😩
OK so I recently downloaded this app and I’ve been noticing some things because you have to pay to do more stuff on the app and I feel like it’s very limited to the people who don’t want to paySecond off when I tried to do another Storyboard, it didn’t let me draw, and I try to go out and do it again but I couldn’t draw and it was very frustrating and difficult. I almost wanted to delete the app.And third when I was trying to do it, animation, it crashed, and I don’t like apps that crashed so that was kind of a red flag for meAnd I read some reviews on the app, and I kind of sort at the restOK I give it a two out of five I was going to give it a one, but I wanted to be niceAnd even though I just downloaded the app and I can’t really comment a lot of things on it, it’s pretty OK but I feel like there needs to be more updates and you shouldn’t have to pay for most of the features because that’s unfair to people who cry on the budget or don’t want to pay for stuffAnd I really like animation it’s very fun for me. I like to animate off FlipaClip sometimes, but this app just needs more updates and like I feel like you need to start updating more of the apps so that more people could use it because I looked at the rate again it’s not really the best, so not trying to be rude or anything. There should be some things to fixAbout the app
