  • This is amazing!!! 🤩

    Drago kittycat

    Okay, so this review is about how this app is ‘amazing!!! 🤩 ‘, as the title says, and how it’s basically free, and a small secret. Interested? Read on! This app is ‘amazing!!! 🤩 ‘ because it’s basically free, very fun, and it helps so your hand never gets in the way! I’m always annoyed, because all the video editing apps I find are so so so expensive, and I just want my hand removed in my videos. But this is perfect! How it works: for free, you can take pictures of things, kind of forming a story. Then, you change the speed to your liking. Your done! Want to add music? Pay 5$ only for text and music, and more! Or…. Read on to hear the secret! Okay, here’s the secret. I’ll admit, it’s not major, but kind of helpful? If you want text for free, it’s a bit hard. All I do is write on a slip of paper, and take a photo of that. Or you could pay 5$. But for music, it’s a bit more simple. Pay 5$, or, if you have an Alexa,phone, or a different device that plays music, play the song of your choice, and hit the record button. Congrats, 🎉🎊 🎉 🎊 you can now play music! Hope this was helpful. Overall, amazing app. Also, if you want to pay the 5$, don’t worry. It’s not like, pay 5$ a month, or a week, or a day or something like that. It’s pay 5$, you’ve got it. Final. So hope this makes you want to get the app because it’s really amazing and you should never judge a book by its Title (or a app for its reviews.) hope this was helpful.

  • Amazing app, just one little problem...

    Fitzgeral_the_Frenchie

    I have been using this app for a couple of years and it is a great app, it is free and comparing its function to other Stop Motion applications it is wonderful, it is 5th on the list for Best Stop Motion Technology and it has proven that! But I have recently come across a problem... I can’t get the pictures to come out clearly. I know exactly how to do that, I alter the focus, but when I look at the image before I take it, it is perfect, then as soon as I click the button to take the picture the image gets blurry, I even tried using my phone and take a Remote Picture, but it never comes out in focus. I tried changing everything I could, but no matter what I did it was always blurry. It only gots into focus if I stayed a couple of seconds on the frame and when I played the movie the frames ALL got blurry again. I do not know if the focus problem is just a bug, but I hope they get it fixed soon, so I, and anyone else who may be experiencing this problem, can continue to enjoy this app... other than this recent problem this app has been incredible and very easy to use, and I would highly recommend it to any Stop Motion beginners, intermediates, or professionals!

  • Great app, but I am unable to find a solution.

    HailUmbridge

    I want to start off by saying that this app is amazing and I use it as an alternative to many of the other stop motion editing softwares as it is much easier. I have used this app for about 8 months and have spent countless hours animating. I have bought all of the add ons to get the full experience and make my stop motions as best as I can. That said recently I have encountered a problem that is not only irritating but unnecessarily difficult. Recently the merge option has been greyed out, although his might not seem like such a big problem it is really irritating. I am currently working on an ant man and the wasp LEGO trailer stop motion, and a character known as the ghost has powers that require a merge of different slides, the shrinking and growing effects also require the same method but I can’t for the life of me figure out how to fix this. I have attempted to contact the developers through the website, but I got an error display and couldn’t move further. If this is only a simple bug that can be fixed or a patch that has been ridiculously over complicated than I need to know. I have spent about an hour researching if others have encountered the same problem or are having trouble but I can’t find anything, if anyone has any solutions or the developers themselves see this then please help. This is something that I know has worked in the past so there is no reason it shouldn’t now.

  • I absolutely love this app but it has a few problems

    Max Stop Motion

    Ok so I have finally found an app that lets me create animations without too much trouble. It’s very intuitive and has many great features. But as every other app it has it’s problems. One of the ones I’ve had the most issues with is that when I have it set to manual it will still auto correct brightness whenever I put my hand in front of the camera, not sure if it’s my phone’s fault or the app’s but it is a problem because it creates a lot of light flicker. Another is that whenever I have it zoomed in and I go to look at the pictures I have already taken it resets the zoom. This makes it very difficult to animate dialogue. I have a few more nitpickey complaints. Mostly just that I can’t set the ISO to anything below 100 (I know that expensive cameras don’t go below it either.) I often find that my sets are way to bright. And one final complaint, there isn’t a slider for white balance. I just feel restricted because it has a set of presets. I also have a suggestion: a feather option for erasing/painting would be awesome. It would create smoother transitions from the previous frame to the next. And also if there is a way please allow us to change the aperture as well.Overall this is by far my favorite stop motion app and I only want to see it improve. Hope you found this useful.

  • AI interpolation soon?

    Animandrew

    Great app, been using it for 4-5 years but I still think there is some potential for more features for example a lot more ai assisted things, like frame interpolation (where an AI puts frames in between your pre-existing frames to make the animation look smoother) at this point I should mention I have the premium version so for those who don’t this app may be a little frustrating (I do understand that some of the more in-depth programs on a computer may cost hundreds of dollars making the five dollar one time payment seem fine) if you’ve taken the time to read this review and you are considering getting this app, I highly recommend you do so (coming from someone who briefly tried other programs and found this one to be best) however stop motion animation is an art and art takes time and patience and sometimes a one time five dollar payment plus if you have a lot of action figures that aren’t in box you’ll have something really cool to do with them to the developers, please put a lot of time and effort into this app to make it even greater than it already is

  • Premium (And other stuff thrown in)

    GoatTech

    Ok, so this is a truly amazing app. I have used it with my friend to make amazing videos. The one problem is the premium. You cannot do anything like add music, or flip images. You can practically only do a simple stop motion with nothing else. No photo backgrounds is also a problem. All those features are locked away in the 5.00$ premium membership. But despite that, this app is still very fun and easy to use. You can even save and export your videos! Lastly, they also give you an always available starter tutorial that helped me a million. Overall, I would recommend getting this app, but for people who do not like spending money on apps, I would read the past paragraph one more time. Just to see what you can do without premium. But I also feel like premium should be four-three dollars maybe instead of five. But to put out more of a positive review for this app, I am writing this on an iPhone 6s Plus and my camera is CRAP! Yet my videos still look wonderful on this app. Please get this app, and Thanks For Reading! 😎 -GoombaKid7P.S (🤣I AM just a kid, so it would be natural to have a super old phone. Also, sorry if this app review is immature. I try.)

  • One of my favorite apps

    beardeddragonlover95352

    Stop motion studio is really fun and allows you to be very creative! I’ve had so much fun making all of my animations. At first it was a bit tricky to learn how to do everything, but it is like that with a lot of things. I gave this a five star rating because I think the people who created this did a very good job and it was nice to have the music features, titles and credits, and other options to make your animation even better! I have used this app in art class at school and everyone loved it when we made LEGO animations! That is how I came across this app! I loved it so much in school I downloaded it right away onto my phone! It has proved to be a very fun and useful app. The only criteria I have is that without buying the premium option you can’t really do much, and things just kept popping up to buy the premium. I did and now I can do a lot more so I think it was worth it! I recommend this app to everyone! Get creative with your animations!

  • It is an amazing app but there are a few problems…

    ANDREWVAKA amazing guy

    OK first off this app is amazing it has really good potential and this is how I made my first ever animation which is stop motion it is a really nice app for beginners and I think you’ll like it if you want to start doing stop motion especially if you have a Lego but there are a few problems such as sometimes when you try to get to the beginning of your animation and you play at midway the animation goes back and it makes the start motion lag for a little bit, sometimes the app for some reason auto makes the speed sometimes after you already said the speed it’s a little glitch, and finally it doesn’t have the best start motion camera quality not saying that it’s bad it’s actually really good but it’s not the best it can be but still I think this app is amazing for beginners and sure I might have a few problems here and there but who cares as long as you have a fun time making stop motion with Legos or Play-Doh who cares do you have fun this is gonna be a good app for you

  • It’s Great-Just What I Needed

    PhonicsCanDo

    I have been yelling for ages that my little Phonics program needed to be made into moving cartoons; my son told me about this Application, he told me his children are having s great time making Stop Motion movies. So I made little characters from my Phonics stories and using Stop Motion created my own Cartoons, as it were. So far I have had great feedback from those who have seen my Phonics “stories” come to life. Thank you very much. If my Phonics Cartoons Help any little ones to read, I will have the creator of this Application to thank. I have only one “complaint “. The program, has at times, died on me; that is goes totally black-no picture, nothing-when I try to send a Stop Motion Movie. So far I wait, for several hours and it comes back. This last time it seems lost for good. I don’t want to lose the Stop Motion Mini Movies I have recorded. I’m flummoxed. PS: If you want to see your handiwork applied go to “ I Can Do Phonics” on Facebook. Click On videos. (I am trying to put the Cartoons on UTube as well).

  • Developers really need to read this!

    The follower of God

    OK starting my review I thing first and foremost stop motion studio should make it to where you can use a button to take a picture and the other app makes it seem that way but it’s not so I think stop motion studio needs to add this button to make it easier for users to take pictures without moving the camera and making the image look trashy. In this case I’ve paid for Stop Motion studio already but I’m resorting to using other apps instead because my button works on the apps so it would be really nice if you could make it work on another problem is I was checking out other apps and it seems to be the green screens are better than Stop Motion studios so if you guys could really work on your green screen, it would be 1000 times better and also making an edit mode so whether I go and make it on a different app, not, I can bring it back to this app, and use the features that this app concludes yours don’t pay attention to no periods in this.
