5/5This is amazing!!! 🤩
Okay, so this review is about how this app is ‘amazing!!! 🤩 ‘, as the title says, and how it’s basically free, and a small secret. Interested? Read on! This app is ‘amazing!!! 🤩 ‘ because it’s basically free, very fun, and it helps so your hand never gets in the way! I’m always annoyed, because all the video editing apps I find are so so so expensive, and I just want my hand removed in my videos. But this is perfect! How it works: for free, you can take pictures of things, kind of forming a story. Then, you change the speed to your liking. Your done! Want to add music? Pay 5$ only for text and music, and more! Or…. Read on to hear the secret! Okay, here’s the secret. I’ll admit, it’s not major, but kind of helpful? If you want text for free, it’s a bit hard. All I do is write on a slip of paper, and take a photo of that. Or you could pay 5$. But for music, it’s a bit more simple. Pay 5$, or, if you have an Alexa,phone, or a different device that plays music, play the song of your choice, and hit the record button. Congrats, 🎉🎊 🎉 🎊 you can now play music! Hope this was helpful. Overall, amazing app. Also, if you want to pay the 5$, don’t worry. It’s not like, pay 5$ a month, or a week, or a day or something like that. It’s pay 5$, you’ve got it. Final. So hope this makes you want to get the app because it’s really amazing and you should never judge a book by its Title (or a app for its reviews.) hope this was helpful.

5/5AI interpolation soon?
Great app, been using it for 4-5 years but I still think there is some potential for more features for example a lot more ai assisted things, like frame interpolation (where an AI puts frames in between your pre-existing frames to make the animation look smoother) at this point I should mention I have the premium version so for those who don’t this app may be a little frustrating (I do understand that some of the more in-depth programs on a computer may cost hundreds of dollars making the five dollar one time payment seem fine) if you’ve taken the time to read this review and you are considering getting this app, I highly recommend you do so (coming from someone who briefly tried other programs and found this one to be best) however stop motion animation is an art and art takes time and patience and sometimes a one time five dollar payment plus if you have a lot of action figures that aren’t in box you’ll have something really cool to do with them to the developers, please put a lot of time and effort into this app to make it even greater than it already is

5/5One small glitch
I love this app so much. I love making stop-motions this easily, top-notch. One main issue I just experienced. Yesterday, I stayed up until about 1:11 in the morning working on a project with several hundred frames. I tried exporting it today and I had no disk space, so I couldn’t. The problem comes here: I tried deleting a project I had already exported and it served its purpose, I didn’t need it anymore. When I hovered over and deleted it, it deleted my most recent project instead, and it isn’t showing up in my ‘recently deleted’ section in files. I think it’s not appearing because of my lack of disk space and memory, but my issue is that I selected a different project to delete and it deleted my most recent project. You should maybe think about adding an ‘undo delete’ button, or perhaps having a separate trash section on your app, where things are deleted automatically after 3 or 7 days. I am still trying to clear up space so hopefully it will appear in my ‘recently deleted’ folder, but if it doesn’t, shame on me for not having any space, but also shame on you for having a somewhat flawed deletion system. Again, I love the app and I mean you no offense. Please read this to give me advice, I don’t want my 4 hours of work to be wasted, especially since I was so close to being able to export it.

3/5Great app, but I am unable to find a solution.
I want to start off by saying that this app is amazing and I use it as an alternative to many of the other stop motion editing softwares as it is much easier. I have used this app for about 8 months and have spent countless hours animating. I have bought all of the add ons to get the full experience and make my stop motions as best as I can. That said recently I have encountered a problem that is not only irritating but unnecessarily difficult. Recently the merge option has been greyed out, although his might not seem like such a big problem it is really irritating. I am currently working on an ant man and the wasp LEGO trailer stop motion, and a character known as the ghost has powers that require a merge of different slides, the shrinking and growing effects also require the same method but I can’t for the life of me figure out how to fix this. I have attempted to contact the developers through the website, but I got an error display and couldn’t move further. If this is only a simple bug that can be fixed or a patch that has been ridiculously over complicated than I need to know. I have spent about an hour researching if others have encountered the same problem or are having trouble but I can’t find anything, if anyone has any solutions or the developers themselves see this then please help. This is something that I know has worked in the past so there is no reason it shouldn’t now.

4/5I absolutely love this app but it has a few problems
Ok so I have finally found an app that lets me create animations without too much trouble. It’s very intuitive and has many great features. But as every other app it has it’s problems. One of the ones I’ve had the most issues with is that when I have it set to manual it will still auto correct brightness whenever I put my hand in front of the camera, not sure if it’s my phone’s fault or the app’s but it is a problem because it creates a lot of light flicker. Another is that whenever I have it zoomed in and I go to look at the pictures I have already taken it resets the zoom. This makes it very difficult to animate dialogue. I have a few more nitpickey complaints. Mostly just that I can’t set the ISO to anything below 100 (I know that expensive cameras don’t go below it either.) I often find that my sets are way to bright. And one final complaint, there isn’t a slider for white balance. I just feel restricted because it has a set of presets. I also have a suggestion: a feather option for erasing/painting would be awesome. It would create smoother transitions from the previous frame to the next. And also if there is a way please allow us to change the aperture as well. Overall this is by far my favorite stop motion app and I only want to see it improve. Hope you found this useful.
