  1. 5/5AFTER EFFECTS QUALITY KINETIC ANIMATION

    What if there was an app that can create instant kinetic bold typography animation that equals top level After Effects quality? If you are a professional digital media artist who understands good design of minimalist on trend design aesthetic motion graphics, then you will love to play with PLAY. Ability to output broadcast quality motion graphic animation centered around one focus - typography and vector quality animations. Push button ease, pre-built stylish templates, ability to import and include images and vector overlays and much more. PLAY is a hidden gem for all pro and casual video editors. A perfect companion to plug into LumaFusion pro video workflow. You have seen all those awesome typographical kinetic motion graphics in commercials. Here is a little secret, I have used PLAY to create some amazing motion graphics that has been used in a major fashion brand ad campaign for television, created a hypnotic trippy geometric animation sequence for a trap music video and now completing a whole digital media ad campaign using PLAY to design a trendy black and white motion graphics centered around a brutalism aesthetic style for a major DJ producer. All created in my back pocket motion graphics studio that is actually a joy to PLAY. Adobe should be very worried. Five Stars. Looking forward to see where PLAY is going.

  2. 5/5Fun helpful and easy to learn

    If you are looking for motion graphics for a logo, intro screen or thousands of other places you could use some movement to spice up your video this is a fun easy app to use. If you know what graphic design is and you know what vector are, then you should come use your knowledge here because it will take your ideas and turn them up to 11 which is one more than 10 so it’s so much better and you won’t get stuck with a tiny Stone Henge well at least it will be bigger than a foot and a half anyway. Hope you enjoy this as much as I did.

  3. 3/5Unfindable in Apple’s Search, too expensive & needs work

    I ran across the app on my iPhone, went to put it on my iPad and using the keyword “Plays” got me no where near this app on the App Store. Animo may have to address this problem if they want people to find their app. Maybe it’s this lack of exposure that’s causing them to ask way too much from its subscribers. It’s a good app, but not worth $20/yr much less $4/mo. $1/mo & $10/yr if enough people know it exists. I won’t be using it anymore after my trial runs out. I may be back once they set reasonable rates, assuming I can find it again. This app also needs an iPad version, user selectable animation speed/distance adjustments and GIF export with Background Transparency. They’d also do well to support a Sticker Tray in Messages like many other apps do. This app would sell like crazy for that use alone if, again, they price competitively.

  4. 5/5Underrated

    I was searching for a text animation app a while ago and most of the highly rated apps were mediocre and didn’t have a lot variety. I decided to give this one a try, though. It’s very impressive. The animations were creative and smooth. I wasn’t limited to a small selection of options. I overall loved the style and design of the finished products. I’d definitely recommend this to anyone! Also, it’d be nice to see more font options in the future and perhaps an option to use a video for the background.

  5. 5/5Extremely fun!

    I am looking to rebrand a tech startup I have with my friends and this is helping me brainstorm sooo many ideas in regards to motion. I was able to customize awesome text animations with ease. Is there a way to change the background color? Or am I missing something? Besides that, I feel like this app has some really good potential. I am definitely looking forward to future updates!
