I will be using this for my NASCAR series
The best one I ever had
BAD AND BROKEN
That is broken. It just gives me a blank screen and then just crashes.
Good
It is great love it
not exporting
so like basically I meant I made a nice animation and then I went to export it and it just wouldn’t export. I pressed it like six times and it’s still like saying like exported then and then I when I go to gallery on my phone and my photos there’s like no video or no photos from it so yeah.
Can’t handle “big” projects of 200+ frames
Yoooo so I love this usually it’s a ton of fun but recently I made a little bit bigger project and it’s not exporting it and it’s ~200 frames.
It’s a good app
I like how you can name your projects and it doesn’t go straight to the bottom when you create one
WORST GAME EVER DEVELOPER READ!!!!😤😤😤😤
I can’t believe I fell for this trap! You have to pay for everything. The camera doesn’t work all I get is a black screen. If I could give it 0 stars I would. All I wanted to do was make a simple animation. I went to change the frames and I had to pay for it. YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR ONION SKINS FOR GOD SAKES! Do not download. All the 5 and 4 star ratings are lies.
Love it, but to much adds
It felt like I couldn’t do not even one video popping out after I was Done. But the results were awesome! They came out really clear and I loved it.
This “auto save” is stupid
So let me start I tried my hardest to not auto save but then it randomly closed and I had to restart! Make a new button to see your projects and autosaves and not to photos cause you can edit it or add more.
Boring
It’s so complicated
I love stop motion
I enjoy using stop motion, I can use my phone and imagination too make cool and funny animations. Because of this I give a five star rating.
Kon
King
Good but...(PLEASE READ, COULD MAKE HUGE DIFFERENCE!)
I really love this app! I do, BUT... Maybe it's just me, but on my ipad I can't (or barely can) download the video to my device. This is one problem that's pretty annoying. Otherwise, this is a great app! Overall, I'd DEFINITELY recommend it.
Good but also terrible
At first the app was wonderful but we you leave auto save happens and u start all over I made a long one a went to replay to a text and it stopped it and made me start over
Please read
Please add music because without music it’s a pain in the butt🤬
Great app for kids
It’s just the best
Horrible
Horrible
I like the app but
I like the app but I don't like how expensive it is, for just more than 6 frames per second, also I have a suggestion, maybe there should be a gallery so then it can be in Camera but also in the app. Also I sent an animation to my friend on Skype and it was black. I'm happy it's IOS10 because I have a IOS 10.47 iPad and this is the only IOS 10 stop motion I found.So that's it, otherwise, it's a great app and I suggest using it. :)
Ummm
This app is cute. It has pretty simple idea. But, why is there ads in a stop motion app? And there are SO MANY!!! Also, the quality is not that good. I wanted a more...well, professional app. Also, I think this app should be totally free. You are just taking pictures to create a movie. I would never recommend this app.
It’s good but have a suggestion
It’s a really great app so, why would u be giving it a three? Well…. I really really want to be able to add photos from gallery or add audio, but other then that it’s 100% free and works great!
Best stop motion app!
I love this app! My brother and I have made many videos clips! I look forward to making more videos in the future!
Terrible
Lot of glitches. Auto saved when I didn't want it to.
Good app
I good app 🙂
It does not mention in game purchases
I was not able to make my stop motion as everything is in game pitches
Mehhhh..... I have had better
I really like this out because it is only three buttons but also if an ad pops up it forces you to leave or if it tells you that your battery is low you have to reset on your whole project no matter how many photos there are so if the developer sees this comment maybe he’ll be able to find out how to fix it.
Nothing bad about the app but only a tiny problem that annoys me
This app is great and seems like you can make some amazing animations and seems like you can make awsome lego videos. I’ve earned 74 subs just because of this app it works great but only one problem there’s an error where it’ll say that your progress has been saved but whenever you go and check photos the video isn’t there and sometimes it says that you take 0 photos. The app is awsome but it just has some annoying glitches like this review says.
I hate this
This app keeps logging me out of my videos when I make them
There is one problem
I like this app but there is one problem sometimes when I am trying to make a animation it auto saves when I am not done other than that I really like it
Annoying
You can’t have projects to go back to which makes the whole thing pointless. Spent £2 on the onion skin update and it doesn’t work and crashes the thing. Annoying
Great but…..
This app is great and u can make awesome animations but when you’ve made the animations it saves into your photo gallery there’s no gallery on the actual app. I think a gallery on the app would be great😀👍
Great app!
I love this app! It doesn’t have an upside down problem like this other app I downloaded. It’s simple with like three buttons fine with me. There are only two things: you have to pay to change frames per second and there is an ad after you finish but other than that it’s great. Also there’s no sound but that’s okay because I can just add sound with Videoleap, it’s no problem. Peeple please don’t get frustrated because there is no sound just edit the video. I recommend downloading this app DOWNLOAD IT NOW!!
TOTAL SCAM
All it does is show a black screen! It’s a total scam! Never download this app!
Good But Needs More Features
It’s really good it’s helping me a lot with lego animations but the fact that you have to use diffrent apps is wierd. It’s Good And I Recommend It.
Mad! Mad! Mad!
First movie took over 700 shots and it did not save! Second time again, I did over 700 shots and pressed finished and it did not save but wiped everything again!! Bad app!! Wasted a lot of time and very disappointed. I've tried deleting and putting it on but it only works half of the time. Please fix this!!!!
Annoying
It’s good, but it auto saves without me pressing. It’s annoying and I’m fed up of it.
It’s great
It’s great for making claymations i love making them and this is perfect for making them
Bad
This is the worst app I’ve ever had it deleted all my hard work after about an hour
Awesome, but...
I’m really pleased with this app there’s just one thing that I hope get’s added: a way to edit your animations... unless it’s already in there and I just don’t know how to get to it. If it gets added then I would definitely bump up my rating to 5 stars.
Unpredictable
Deleted 328 photos worth of data
Ok
It’s fine but if you try to edit it, it in an editing app, you have to screen record it
Great
I love this cause it’s simple and easy to use I make army men stop motions and this helps me out it you want to get this I would suggest this app
The stop motion is to fast
When I'm done with the stop motion it's to fast I want it to be a little SLOWER
I like Dino nuggets
Great app I love it but their should be a option to add music
Great
BUT HOW DO YOU ADD SOUND
One MAJOR Problem
This is app is okay but I hate that the auto save is SO SENSITIVE! If an ad plays, a pop up comes, you close the app by mistake,etc! You have to start over! I want a way we can continue after the auto save so we can continue working on it. I once made a stop motion with this app and had to split it into LIKE 8 PARTS! BECAUSE OF AUTOSAVE! PLEASE FIX THIS OR AT THE VERY LEAST LET US EDIT THEM!
Amazing!
I love this app, it’s very simple. It doesn’t lag, and you can make easy stop motion videos. No everyone thinks it’s perfect, but i love simple apps. You don’t have to do purchases, or a lot of editing. It would be cool if you could add filters and effects, But either way It’s AWESOME!
Inappropriate ads
An app age 4+ shouldn’t have porn ads.
Love it ❤️
I love this app and would totally recommend it. The only problem is that it doesn’t have sound. I think you have to bye the sound but I’m not really sure. I mostly make American girl doll videos and they turn out great!!!!😋😆
Not the best
This a pretty good app. However it can’t be easy to take photos if your alone. There should be a count down.
