The Best Free Animation App I’ve Ever Seen! – Animation Desk® Draw & Animate Review

PLEASE READ THIS REVIEW!!! I just bough this app yesterday, however, it’s quality continues to amaze me! Although it might not be what famous animators use, this is an amazing FREE first step. First of all, I am going to list the pros of this app. 1. No stupid adds interrupting your work. Luckily, there are no pop adds when you are drawing. I’m guessing because this has a premium version, there are no need for adds. I have not stumbled upon one yet. 2.Onion Skin and Copy Onion skin, for any artist/animator is a life saver. You have no idea how many times this has saved me! The copy scissors are also a plus, you can drag, stretch, past, and rub your object on any page! 3. Time Teller Not only does this app let you animate, it also tells you the time at the bottom. 4. VERY EASY TO USE I mean this in no offensive way, but luckily you can use this app with ease. The controls are very easy to figure out and are a lot of fun! I can’t wait to see what I’ll discover next! 5. MUSICCC yayay From what I’ve heard, you can add music on this app. Still haven’t figured out where though... Now, for the cons. 1. Only 1KB use. I understand this is a free app and you have spent time and money on this, and the premium version probably has more. I’m saving up my money now!^_^ (jk I’m not poor) 2. The Storyboard The storyboard option in my opinion, is kinda useless. You add the images on AFTER you completed the story. I wish what you could do is let artists just sketch what they want their scenes to be BEFORE they animate. 3. The Background When you paint the background, it also turns your objects that color. I understand how to fix that because it was the problem in another app but, it is a real pain to do! You have to make sure all of the lines ‘connect’ so that no paint seeps through. Now, for some suggestions for this lovely app. Please update it to where you can mirror an object! You know, when you have an eye and you really can’t draw the other one, you can just mirror it so that it matches, but is reverse. This would help out a lot, PLEASE do this!!! I’m not sure if this is premium tool or not, but I’ve looked around and done some research and so far, that put to no avail. In drawing, after you draw with pencil, you trace over with pen and then erase the pencil lines. This is not, however the case for this app. Maybe, you could add a mode of the eraser where it only erases the pen? I’m not sure if this really already exists, if so, I apologize for ranting. But, for right now, this app is just the thing I needed to animate. Thank you for this! Thank you, if you had time to read this long review to the very end, and I hope you have/ have had a wonderful day! (Edit) Thank you for the response developers, it means a lot to me!
