5/5I like it.~
Not a lot of controls, but keeps you focused on simplicity rather than brushes. The animating rather than drawing. Also, saves tons of phone space! And it’s free, so what more could I ask for? I really enjoy it, as maya would cost too much and be too complicated, and I like things simple. Not a detailed drawing app, but that’s not what I’m looking for. There are so few animating apps that are also free, I feel. This is the first animating app I’ve seen, in fact, although I probably am not very up-to-date. Nice and simple, and I am satisfied with the app! Suggestion: The only thing is, the button names are out of the way, and some may consider them hidden. Must go to your animation specifically, touch the little gear, and it’s under the question mark. Some people may like a tutorial, but personally I find things intuitive and easy to figure out, and I like figuring out stuff! <3 Everything is simple and effortless, and it doesn’t even require WiFi or an account, which is awesome! I mostly share things, too. :) The ads are out of the way and very few.

4/5Thanks for the New Colors
I'm extremely surprised and beyond thrilled that we finally have some new colors to use in this program. Thank you so very much. I'm very grateful and thankful for that update. I do still wish, though, that there was a way to hide non-animated posts when viewing animations in the social part of this app. It is massively frustrating to go through so many dumb non-animations, of children drawing stupid crap that's not animated at all. I asked for this option forever ago and still have not seen it implemented unfortunately. So, I really hope that you'll consider either moving static drawings to another section of the app or at the very least put some type of indicator on them letting us know that they aren't in fact animations at all please. Then I can skip clicking on them and wasting my time. Thanks if you will consider that option, thanks again for the new colors added in this update and God bless.

4/5Developers please read this
(Scroll to the bottom if you don’t want to read all of this for a summery) So first off really cool game, it’s great for beginner animators and animations. I just wish it hat there were more colors to choose from, you can save and name certain colors to never forget, a feature like that would definitely bring a lot more people to play this and more happy reviews. I don’t mind the add too much, it’s not one of those games in which %50 of the game is ads. It was quite nice without them though. And maybe some more kinda advanced feature but very user friendly and easy to understand. Because that’s one of the many reasons why I like and choose to use folliscope, because it’s easy, and simple to use. In an overall summery, the game just needs more advanced but simple and user friendly features to make the game more interesting and fun.

5/5Awesome game 😎 💥
Folioscope is an AWSOME game! Legit! I got the no ads thing and it’s so awesome! I love the smooth animation making and how you can watch other people’s animations! It’s soooooo cool! Also, I see people doing this and I wonder, how?! People that make stick person animations make the heads completely, perfectly round! Like a perfect circle ⭕️! Other than that, no problems. Like I said, I got the no ads thing because before that I was getting the ads right in the middle of making an animation and it was kinda annoying, but now, I love it even more 🌟! Five star game no doubt! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

3/5good, but could be better
If you are a fan of the pixels look of flipnote studio on the dsi, you’ve come to the right place. Very simple, yet with enough skill and talent you can create extraordinary things. However, the program is not perfect. A big complaint is that there is no sound support :,( It’s common for most free animation apps to not have sound support, but if you want people flocking to your app, you should at least have something like that. Another is the selection tool. It does its job, but I feel as if it should be like a lasso tool instead of the square. It’s a lot easier for being more precise with your selections. Other than that, I have no complaints bug-wise about the app. Just add these two things and you’ve got me hooked!
