1. 2/5Potential

   The mechanics of the app are a little unique, in a good way. But are not sensitive or accurate enough, it makes it frustrating trying to turn pages when it goes the wrong way every time. Itll flip through all the frames in the wrong direction no matter which way i swipe or where im swiping at. I wish there were more settings as well like being able to double tap your apple pen to switch to the eraser. Or being able to change pen size of just your pen and not the size of the lines youve already drawn entirely. I see a lot of potential in this app but it definitely needs some tweaking, im not sure how new it is either so ill give it that. Also please add layers 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

2. 4/5Animation done right

   Not only is this a very new and refreshing take on animation software (all other animation apps all have very stale interfaces and interactions) but the app itself is very functional and smooth. 4 stars is mostly due to the current limitations of the app, which falls a bit short of more mature animation apps. In particular: - There’s a cap of 24 frames for any animation. This constraint can lead you to some animations you may not have otherwise done, but I feel that capping frames at such a low number is something that should be left up to the animator. - There’s a cap of 5 layers. This might matter a bit less if layers could support multiple colors and stroke widths, but currently one layer can only have one stroke color and width. I do like the single stroke width as it ensures consistency on a layer...but I think multiple widths/colors could be handled as toggles or something on a layer. - No explicit control for syncing layers. This can become annoying if you find yourself adding new frames to a layer after you’ve already done some work. It would be nice to toggle the “link” between layers (so they’d turn in sync, like they all do currently). An unlinked layer would not spin unless it was the active layer itself. Current capabilities make this a great app for anyone just beginning to mess around with animation or for anyone looking to get ideas out quickly with minimal UI distraction. The export capability does use screen recording, but I haven’t found this to be an issue. IOS has its video editing capabilities and there’s a whole bunch of apps that offer even more (sound, filters, etc). Highly recommend!

3. 5/5Great animation playground!

   It’s a really nice and easy animation tool! Very intuitive and fun!! Anyone can be very creative with this app. It’s a nice playground but you can also create great professional animations quickly. Thanks to the developer for releasing this as a premium app without subscriptions. I’d like to see more improvements though: [Update: Eraser has been added! Yay!] 1. The current export flow is broken. I have to connect iPad to Mac, open Finder, go to Files tab, expand Looom, wait for seconds to be loaded, open another Finder window, and have to copy the entire Weaves folder to my drive. There should be an export feature within the app. So that I can easily share an animation to another app, save to iCloud drive or Airdrop to my Mac. 2. Simpler video export. The manual screen recording can be versatile, but automatically exporting a video with a few full-loops under current view point would be awesome. 3. More editing tools! With tools like duplicating a frame / move or zoom a layer or a frame / cut or copy & paste, our creative flow can be much more quicker and easier. (Imagine having those tools to create some works like the Lucky example and Paterson’s example on the web). I know you will find a nice way to add more tools without messing up the simplicity of the app :) 4. It drains the battery! I’d love to spend more time with Looom. Would you improve the performance please? Thanks!

4. 4/5Really fun to play with

   This is an amazing app and you can do a lot of amazing things with it. I love that you can squiggle in real time or so frame by frame animation. It’s just missing a few features that keep it from being fully functional for my needs: 1. Select color by hex value (or import external color palettes some how) 2. Color picker tool. 3. Image import. It would be amazing if I could import an image to use as reference. If I could sketch an idea in Procreate, then bring that idea in Looom and retrace it as a key frame, that would be amazing. 4. Export video as a seamless gif or movie. You can export video, but it’s a little tricky to create a perfect loop from that video.

5. 5/5Left-handed mode needed!

   update: developer responded and it turns out the left-handed mode was there, i just know how to enable it 😅😅😅 thank you! updated to five stars. Hello! this app seems really cool, and even as someone with almost no artistic skill, i’m excited to see what i can do with this! however, i currently cannot use it based i’m the existing controls. i’m left-handed and use the apple pencil with my left hand, which does not seem compatible with the controls also being on the left and needing to be held down with a finger. Four stars for the idea though, five once i can use it!
