Reviews for RoughAnimator - animation app

keeps crashing after i draw ONE LINE. app is up to date, android system is up to date. I don't know what im doing wrong.

Good features for a standard flip book app, but not as good as ibis paint features for animation and such a clustered UI, not worth paying.

Loved this app. As an amateur self-taught animator with prior experience with toon boom harmony software, this app seems to be in the perfect spot between simplicity and functionality for hand drawn frame by frame animation on tablets. I tested it with very good results and feeling on my Samsung galaxy tab s6 lite. totally recommend it, great work Jacob kafka. totally worth it's one time price, no ads, no in-app purchases, the full package for just 10 euro.

Now that I can read , the animation app is good , actually, IT'S GREAT, I betrayed flipaclip and it's STUPID SUBSCRIPTIONS AND I'M NOT SORRY , But , can you make us be able to take the sound from a saved video and put it in the timeline ? It's convenient for us past flipaclip users , but in all seriousness, I thought 10 dollars have been wasted from my life

Edit: They fixed the lag tho still laggy a lil bit (maybe it's my device also), Overall this app is actually good for any who wants to use their animation skills to the fullest because some don't have the separate frame layers and it's worth the money tbh.

honestly I love this app. sadly it isn't able to do the 2 and 3 finger tap to undo and redo, but for my tablet IT COMPLETELY rejects the finger on the drawing area, and I can use my finger anywhere else, so I can draw without worrying about palm marks, and I can still use my left hand to undo and redo since the layout is really good. I watched a tutorial and it looks awesome to animate with. I tested it a bit and I love it. it's also not laggy. I tried krita which is lagging on tablet

I am actually getting annoyed, this app has so much potential. I am running Samsung S9+ and I draw mostly on IbisPaint X. I wanted this app because I thought its animation features were similar to it, BUT some how it can’t handle 8 layers while IbisPaint handles up more than 300+ on my phone. So I know its not my phone, now I cannot even open the app. please fix the crashes...

After the 4.3 update, it gets more laggy. Now, the layer you're working on is on full quality, making it slower (not for everyone, I suppose). It would be GREAT if there's an option for it to be a quarter for all layers for it to be smooth. Great app, tho. I use it to make animations that are up to 5 minutes long

one time purchase. no subscription? honestly godsend,my only problem with this would probably be the lack of brush selection and tutorial. I hadn't a clue what a cycle function was, haven't found any videos online yet, but half my animation just got wiped, I've not seen that function in other software so I haven't a clue how to use it

LOVED this app but I had a really big issue with the rendering process since last update using my Samsung A9 tablet. I wrote an email to the team with the details. hopefully they read it and fix the problem I'm sure more users out there are finding the same problem. For me it could be an app killer issue since my work is trapped unexportable outside of it.

I didn't even get a chance to use it, it kept on crashing right when I tried to use it. I'm not sure if it's my phone that had an issue or if it's literally the app, but it wouldn't let me even create anything! When I tried to start an animation, it crashed right as I hit the confirm button for canvas size and such. I'd rather stick with huion paint, clip studio, krita and flipaclip for animations.... They don't even crash like that on me!

The app is really wonderful but does have some big issues for me. There is no way to copy & paste multiple frames. You can copy one at a time, but this is very tedious. I LOVE that you can edit multiple frames at once! That's actually the reason I got this app. But unfortunately I cannot view the onion so I can move and place things where they belong. I can't quickly snap the frame back to full size after zooming. No ruler. The option to turn cycles into drawings crashes the app.

This app is awesome and definitely worth buying. However, It keeps deleting all of my progress, even thought I saved it, it keeps deleting everything. I merged one of my layers down, and then all the rest of the layers deleted. I don't know if this problem is with the program or my computer, but I'm pretty sure it's the app cause my other drawing app doesn't do this.

Currently there's a strange glitch? Essentially, the entirety of a frame becomes invisible. Or just completely deletes. It's hard to explain, but I'll be working on one frame, and switch to next, only to see it completely gone. And even when I press undo to see what caused it, it's shown taking pieces and strokes from...nothing. It's as though it never existed, and I was editing nothing before. It's very weird, and I hope it gets fixed soon. It's really starting to cause me some problems.

Saves projects to "android/data" which has been restricted from general user access since android 12. It doesn't let you save as anywhere else. When you try to export rather than letting you pick a folder it forces you to share the exported file. You have to upload that file to Dropbox to get the file. It would literally be a 5 star if it didn't have these bizarre restrictions, it's otherwise perfect.

Rewriting my review to say the new update has been great and thanks for listening to my feedback about the center cross, really improved my videos by using it more often. Really fixed a lot of problems. Gets a bit slow and laggy if I make a really long video, but that's probably just my phone not able to handle it. Cant wait to see what the next update holds, looking forward to it. Oh, I just remembered, a cursor when using eraser and pen would be helpful to see how much is going to erased.

Hey vro, My bad G! I've started to fiddle around with the controls and found that you simple changed where my brush types would be place! I didn't find it in the usual placement so I assumed they were all removed (sorry!). Though it still crashes from time to time & I can't watch my full animations since they er crash on me too & then kick me off the app, But it's more then likely due to being a phone user (I hope at least) It's a good app overall, keep it up & did the bunny film come out yet?

Look, I like the app, but when I was working on an animation, I had digitally downloaded it a few days ago, it did not load correctly or something due to it having some layers blank and all the names erased. It also wouldn't allow me to play it back. Can you guys please fix this. This has happened multiple times now.

Incredibly good, Definitely better than Flipaclip. The UI is super simple and is easy to access. The brush settings/parameters are miles better what other apps have to offer+you can import audio! Though I would've given it five stars if I could use my drawing tablet, for whatever reason, it doesn't work with it even though it's an android DT, it acts as if it's still in portrait mode and completely ignores the other half of my tablet.

Hey, Jacob. I started using roughanimator about 2 years ago. I really appreciate having access to this app. It is effective and simple to pick up as a beginner. That said, I think it'd be nice to a have an "erase" option within the "fill color" function. I don't know if this would be too difficult to add in the program, but I always thought it would be convenient to have the option. Just a thought. Love your app. Best, -stu(:
