Animation Desk–Cartoon & GIF

A Google user

a decent enough animation app, with some pretty annoying quality-of-life issues that are hard to look past. e.g. whenever I'm drawing it will register my hand slightly brushing against the screen, creating a line from that point to the pen. this isn't really an issue I've experienced w/ any other drawing app, and it happens so consistently here that it's incredibly distracting. otherwise though it's system is easy to navigate around, and could shine with some tweaking and more thorough settings.

It's a pretty good app. I switched from a different animation app to this, and this one works so much more smoothly than the last one and has a lot more features. But I have suggestions. maybe make it so we can add audio while making the animation so it's easier to lip sync and stuff? And make it so we can change the canvas size? Idk if these are being worked on but I know my youtube channel would appreciate it. Thank you.

Its a good app but the most absolutely irritating thing about it is every time I start a new project and try to open it, THE APP CRASHES! Even when I close the app and open the project again it crashes! I would also think that it would be nice to import audio WHILE animating, so it is easier to do things like lip syncing. I'm just suggesting for that feature to be added.

Took me three tries to open a project without the app crashing. The brushes look shaky because there is no smoothing. You can't import audio, so good luck making the animation line up with anything, and there's only three layers unless you buy more. Compared to flipaclip, I would say it's almost the same except for the audio and flipaclip has a watermark. If you hate watermarks, pick animation desk. If you need audio, pick flipaclip. if only I had audio, I could ignore all the other problems.

I like it but the select tool doesn't work at all and the rotation and zoom are if I'm honest, just horrible and it's really hard to adjust and use. The app does have its strengths like the fill bucket (that's just a pet peeve of mine) and it's fun to use excluding what I was just talking about. I also really love that there's a specific frame for backgrounds. I would love to use it for my animation if you fixed those two issues. :)

I feel like crying, since I had been working on a little GIF type animation since last night and trying to finish all day today, only for it to all be ruined in a couple of seconds. A glitch to happened, which duplicates a single frame, and has it replace half of the others with its copies. It cannot be undone once it happens, even if I close the app and open it again, or just go to the home screen. This actually happened while I was using the pencil tool to color objects while zoomed in on those frames, and it even cleared everything off of the final frame. I had never had this problem until today, and I'm really sad about this glitch because, I like this app, and because of the all the time and effort on my project that I had ended up wasting because of it.

The app seemed very, very helpful for my animations, and it had many good qualities. However, to produce longer animations and more detailed pictures, I had to endure long minutes to hours of waiting for it to "process". Every time I opened it, it did this. Overall, great tools. I just hope you can fix this so animators with longer projects can have an easier time. Thanks so much! I hope this was helpful for you and for the people who use this app.

I am learning to animate and is going to be my profession. When I try to zoom in, it would be easier and more helpfull if I could rotate the screen. In the video it shows onion skin that is a feature that I really love but I can't use it in the actual app. And lastly, I can't use the info button appt of the time. Overall the app isn't preferable and isn't really useful to me.

Great app! It doesn't lag, and you can add music! But can you please implement the Ctrl-Z shortcut? It would really help! And also make it so when you select something, if you drag it the drawing part you selected drags with it. So when you select something, you can drag, or delete it (backspace or a trash bin button or something) Great app overall! I love it!

I saw the bad reviews and wanted to try myself. I started drawing and it seemed fine. It took a bit for me to get used to everything, the drawing tools aren't the best, the lines were extremely thin at first, and it was hard to figure out. eventually, I figured out how to do mostly everything. Then I played the animation and it was super laggy (I don't ever lag unless I have bad internet, and it's perfectly fine).
