Kendall. C,
Great app, but lose the glitches
I have been using this app for a while, and the tools available from the start (without the pro version) are enough to create some decent looking art. The app does also offer optional layering for your animations, which will also enhance your drawing’s appearance. As a final pro for the app, it does pretty well tracking your finger and other makeshift pens, if you do not have pen device available for use and lag is rarely a problem. However, there are a handful of major problems with the app that should be looked at. First example, you may experience a bug that causes a section of drawing to be completely erased for no particular reason, and when the user tries to reverse the bug (with the back button) it does not work. This is a rare occasion, however it is still a major problem I have come across. To expand on the back button, I don’t understand why the button only offers a certain amount of times you may go back when it is pressed. This is a problem, because when you have a background already drawn, and you run out of back button uses, you have to erase the portion you don’t want. But, along with the erasing of the unwanted portion, it will erase the background portion as well. Please adress these problems, because I love to use this app.
RoiBRocker,
Some REALLY helpful updates that can really improve Animation Desk:
I thought of some really helpful updates that would really help the drawing community. The first one is the pen. The pen which draws a circular line is to small at max size, and should be bigger at max size. Its hard to draw stick figures with such a small pen, and it would be amazing if it could be bigger. Also, the majority of animators who animate with this application animate on an iPad Pro, like me, and drawing with one hand on the screen and an Apple Pencil on it at the same time interrupts the drawing that were drawing. I think their should be a setting to make it so that the screen doesn’t sense my hand but only the Apple Pencil. Many other applications already have this and it would be great if this did to. Stabilizer: If you’ve ever used Paint Tools Sai, you know what I’m talking about. In Paint Tools Sai, they have an option called the stabilizer which makes lines more smooth by giving what your drawing a delay to make the drawing more curvier. In Animation Desk, my circles always turn out straight and not round. A circle looks lie 7 lines put together and if Animation Desk hade a stabilizer tool, that would be AMAZING! I really hope you read this, because it took me a long time to type, and if you did, please please please add these things to Animation desk in the next update! Thanks! 🙂
Seagull Squad,
This is the best animation app you will find!
I have found many great animation apps, including FlipaClip, sticknodes, this one, and even more. After all that, Animation Desk is, and has always been-in my opinion-the best one out there, and the easiest to use. Thank you to the creators of this app. I might get Animation Desk ultimate one day. Though this is one of the best animation apps there is, I have a few suggestions; sometimes I want to loop one part of an animation, so I copy the frames, but each copy goes after the original frame. I would really like the copied frames to go to the end of the animation. This would make it much easier to do that function. Another thing that isn’t necessarily a drawback, but would be a nice addition would be a v-cam. One final suggestion would be to make all the animations arranged as thumbnails, and you could be able to scroll up and down, to find things more easily. Thank you for reading my suggestions, and I hope you consider adding them. All in all, this app is awesome, and I really recommend it.
Sincerely, a really happy animator.

Unhappy Animator,
Good for learning the ropes, BUT way too glitchy
I’ve encountered multiple issues while working on an animation. I’ve spent over a month working on an animation, and given that it’s my very first one, I’m extremely frustrated. I will only be talking about the most recent major problems I’ve had.
Earlier today I was working on my animation and it was perfectly fine. These problems occurred after a couple of hours.
First of all, while I was working on adding to each of my frames, the background for one of my frames became the background for all of my frames. I was nearly finished with the line art for all of my frames when this happened. This is incredibly frustrating because I was using the background as references for the character movements, and originally each of the backgrounds were the person in different positions.
Secondly, soon after, I saw that the line art for all of my frames became a previous version. What I mean by this is that I spent the last week or so darkening all of my line art, but the current version is how the line art looked before it was darkened and before I added heads to the person I was animating. The last week or two of my work are now gone.
I have also filed a ticket through the app and hope to receive a response soon. I have been working on this animation since December 22nd. It is now February 2nd. I have put countless hours into this and have gotten too far to see it go to waste.

chandrareeves,
A little laggy but so far I love it
Honestly I Love it’s really fun and cute I love how it’s really calming to look at the only problem I have is that it is pretty laggy, I recently just saw that 3 days ago you guys had fixed the problem but in my case after literally after a minute the app would stop and freeze and I try to push random buttons but it would still be frozen. Other then that I do have a few suggestions I would definitely give this app 5 stars because I love how the canvas is small and cute it honestly makes me want to animate with big canvases it’s really stressful for me because it makes me feel like I have to add more to the Animation. But On This App I feel very comfortable and very chill when it comes to this app but the suggestions that I have is * stabilization* It would be grate to have a stabilization pen or tool so we can have more of clean lines as I do have shaky hands it would definitely be very helpful to have. *Vector* and last is vector it helps whenever I want to scale my drawing big or small without loosing any Resolution (won’t get blurry) every time I change the size of my drawing. Other then that I really love this app if these things get fixed and if my suggestions actually go into planning this will be total Five star!!!
annoyed dot maker,
Liked it until it deleted 150 frames.
I was recently trying to do an experiment with animating on this app. For a while, things were going pretty well. My animation wasn’t more that a bunch of pink dots on a white background so progress went fast.
I’m sure this isn’t the main purpose of the app but it actually came out quite cool. Over the course of about two hours, it made it to almost 185 frames. I was just about to stop when suddenly I noticed a bug.
One of the frames got switched out with a frame further down. I thought that I would just delete that frame and recreate the old one. Then, the app crashed and nearly the entire thing vanished. I’m glad that I’m not like one of those guys who’ve been working on this for days but I wasn’t necessarily pleased with this to say the least.
I’m not sure what caused that to happen but I believe that either it’s a problem with the app, like many of the other glitches I’ve discovered or if it’s something else.
If you can, can you please try to fix this. I’m not the only one who’s run into this problem and it the app would be much better if you put some effort into fixing it.

Firefox99957,
Horrible. Not recommended if you want to make actual animations.
My first complaint about the app is that you have to pay for everything. More than one storyboard, over 3/4 of brushes, ect.
There are little packs you can try out for 3 days at a time, but I don’t want to have to change my brush set if i’m trying to create an animation for days or weeks at a time. The only thing close to a blend brush is a watercolor kit, which i’m not patient enough for.. the kid is called the patient artist kit. Literally just give me a blend brush and i’d be more happy.
Also, you can’t upload audio. It’s so hard to line up dialogue by eyeballing it and adding it with an editor afterwards.
Other than the fact you need to pay to even have a pleasurable experience, there aren’t any bugs that i could complain about. Other than the zoom in function being wonky (you needing to put both your hands on the frame in a very specific way and needing to try multiple times to get it right), there aren’t any bugs and the app runs smoothly. I just wish this app wasn’t just a method for quick cash and actually worked as a flexible option for beginning animators and experienced animators alike. If you want something better go look up Flipaclip, it’s way better overall.

SomeWhinyNerd,
Change it back
I really liked this app a lot until the most recent update as of writing this, they moved all the buttons around in a way that I think is inferior the the previous layout and added s scroll thing that shows you all the frames on the bottom that takes up way to much of the screen. You used to be able to draw on the whole screen and could make the toolbars disappear if you needed to draw something there, but now you can only draw on a small section of the screen in the middle which really bothers me, this is somewhat remedied by being able to zoom in. Furthermore the interface is almost unrecognizable and I am having trouble finding all the tools again and instead things that I don’t need in my face while animating are taking front and center, for example the share button is now always in the upper right corner. You used to have to upload from the home screen which I thought was fine as you would be done by the time you did that, I am sure I will feel better as I get more used to it but if anyone knows if there are some settings I could change to make it go back to the way it was please tell me.
yeetmcburger,
App is okay, but the bugs aren’t
I’ve been using animation deck for a hot minute now and it’s… okay, I guess. It’s nothing revolutionary, but it does get the job done. It also doesn’t so blatantly heckle you about getting premium like flipaclip or other popular animation studios do, so that’s definitely something it has over its competitors.
However, the reviews aren’t lying. This app has a HUGE issue with deleting frames and it’s horrible for learning. It normally deletes the newer frames near the end, so it’s typically not the really important frames you need to worry about, but it’s not viable for making small animations (because the majority of the frames will go bye) and it’s not good for large animation projects like thesis films or feature length films, because the time lost working on the missing frames will make it completely unworth it.
It’s hard to tell what target audience they’re trying to market to, when it’s both beginners and intermediate level animators that get held at the sword. They need to fix the app before I can feel comfortable coming back and animating, because I’m tired of losing the progress I made the night before.

Meteorboy,
Great fun until it deleted hours if work
Initially I was very happy with this app until after spending multiple days and dozens of hours on one animation, the app froze and when I reopened it, hundreds of frames were just missing without explanation. As you know, if you’ve spent any time animating, it is a very slow and tedious process so to have this happen after hours of work is totally unacceptable. Why would I ever commit to another project again knowing that at any moment all my hard work could just vanish? There are multiple other bugs too, that make this app annoying to deal with and obvious that it never should have been released yet, but the fact that hundreds of frames can just vanish from a project should be reason enough for any serious animator to want to steer clear of this app. I reached out to the company about this issue and wanted to give them a chance to explain before I wrote a review but their response, which came a week later was very dismissive and for some reason assumed I was using an old outdated version of the app, when I was in fact using this, their most updated version which I har only downloaded a couple of weeks ago. I very much regret downloading the app and especially laying for the annual subscription. Totally useless.
