Animation Desk® Ultimate 4+

Good for beginners/amateurs

I have just recently gotten into animation, and drawing. I use it near daily, however, the lines will never seem straight, as you would see in professional software. There is no ‘flip’ option to be found, which I think should be a standard. If there is, then it is near impossible to find. Finally, even though this most likely will be fixed soon, there is no optimization for the 11 inch iPad Pro, which I use to run this app. I am aware that this iPad only released 3 days ago, at the time of writing this, but I feel that it should still be mentioned.

So, if you are okay with spending a little bit of money, and are aware you won’t get something you would on a drawing tablet, this isn’t a bad app, for what it was made for, and it’s price. If you really don’t want to spend the money, the free version is more or less the same, just with less brushes. Just fix the optimization, and add a ‘flip’ option for selected areas, and this would be 5 stars.

Hello NightsDEdge, thanks so much for the feedback and suggestions. They are very detailed and helpful. I will forward the issues about the iPad Pro, line drawing, and flipping tool to the team. Happy animating!

Not sure what happened.

Hello! I realized you just came out with a new update, but I can’t access the app anymore...... I’m not sure if this is the update, but that’s what I’ve come to believe. I was able to use the app perfectly fine before I updated the app, and enjoyed it very much.☺️ the only reason I left a four star was because I can’t access the app anymore.

What’s happening? Well every time I open the app, it crashes. I’ve refreshed everything, tried troubleshooting, and have had no luck. Can you fix this please? Or see what’s causing it! Much appreciated!

Hello, sorry for the late reply. Does this problem remain after v9.0?

Very nice app, but audio can be tricky.

This app is very nice and easy to use. I love to animate on it because of all the brushes you can use and the good animating options available, but I personally would like to have easier audio settings and tools. Lip-syncing in animations or making animated music videos can be very difficult to do since you have to import the audio from files, and you cant change it after you’ve imported it. I feel like in order for this app to be fully “ultimate”, it should have an option to add and edit audio/voiceovers WHILE making animations. For instance, you can have an audio timeline that goes along with an animation timeline so you can hear your audio while you’re animating. So yeah. Developers, please work on this :/

also plz make the two fingers for undo and three fingers for redo shortcut a thing. It’s very helpful.
