Quick easy animation, but buggy. FOUND ONION SKIN

I think this app works very well to do painstaking hand drawn animation. It's like a digital flipbook! Works as advertised, however I find that I have to RESTART ALOT because after a few frames it gets all buggy. good news is that this windows version DOES have an onion skin mode. you must click on the light bulb at the bottom of the screen to active it. this app appears to have way more functions than we realize, so I my biggest suggestion for the developer is to INCLUDE AN IN-DEPTH tutorial mode.

Would not suggest for learning animation/drawing

If you want to learn how to draw and/or animate, I wouldn't say this is the app. I find it lacks in details for instance; 1) it doesn't have many brush options, and a major lack in colors. 2) as far as I could find you can't zoom in. 3) Picking the various brushes is annoying, I know it's a bit nit picky, but ease of access is a lot for me. 4) It doesn't work very well with the Surface pen, no pressure sensitivity, and not a very fine point even at it's smallest tip. 5) I don't like micro-purchases for my colors, that's just wrong. I would suggest Sketchbook for drawing, or for easy animation Pixel Art Studio. If you want real detail for animation look up Studio Ghibli and Futurama's animation program, it's free.

Review title of UnknownHit and Miss

I was actually surprised that the set up was accurate, since it had features like giving you the illusion of drawing on animation paper. BUT important features for animations and drawing in general are missing. There is no option for onion skin, there are limited colors (and black isn't even included!), and the way the 'pen' draws is really splotchy. the only way to get a smooth line is by drawing fast, and I don't know anyone who draws exactly what they want in fast strokes. It was like drawing with a broken pen who was crying ink. Really really splotchy. Makes for a messy look.

All of these reviews are wrong, you can choose what color you want on the colors that are there by hold it in, same goes for the brushes, just hold it in and you can choose from some others. I don't know why they couldn't figure that out, wasn't that hard. This doesn't have poor quality. I love this, but if you wanted a free great painting program, go with Krita, this is for doodling and sketching, but if you're serious about art Krita is a great way to go

Review title of JenniferREAD THIS BEFORE YOU READ THE BAD REVIEWS!!!

I've had this app on my pad and when I got here the set up is different but still does all the same functions I promise. Here are my tips: To change brush click and hold on it then drag to the paper but don't let go, options pop up. While still holding find the one you want. To change color: select the color jar then double click on it and a color changing pop up appears. You can chose any color you'd like. Onion skin: near the bottom right the is light bulb. Click it and a little menu comes up with options and select the one you want. Over all the app is wonderful and quite useful. Years a ago I got the free version on my iPad a (along with other apps) as I looked for the best animation app. This one was the best and I loved it. I paid for the full version and haven't been disappointed. The Pc version is a bit different but still serves its great functions. If you are considering downloading this app I hope you do. Try It for yourself :) Have fun animating and Have a nice day!^^

Review title of UnknownMediocre

It does the job if you're just doing a simple animation, but the brushes and drawing tools are really crappy, you can't work with layers the same way you can with Photoshop, there are lots of glitches, its super limited, and now it doesn't open anymore and my work is gone.

Review title of BenDon't listen to the negative reviews

This is a really good app and you can actually change the colors, people who say otherwise just won't take the five minutes to figure it out. It does take some practice to figure everything out but other than that, I highly recommend this app
