Animock 4+

A good app to help me make some cool pictures of my apps.

This app is amazing. I was looking everywhere to find a way to turn my iPad video product demo into a professional looking 3D animated model for my website. There are few options out there that do both VIDEO and have iPad templates. I couldn’t find anything that would work for me. After almost giving up, I stumbled on this app and it is a life saver!

It is the only solution out there that could fulfill all my requirements: iPad templates, video input (as well as pictures), outputting to video and now animated GIF, customizing animations, saving as transparent or with a background, etc. I couldn’t believe all the options it had and that it actually worked!

Some other apps I tried would constantly crash. Or would only output pictures, or only had iPhone templates, etc. This is the only solution on the App Store that has EVERYTHING included and just works.

And best of all, after using it for a few days and experimenting with my product demos, I emailed the developer with some feature requests and he responded in just a few hours. He was super polite and helped answer all my questions. He also put my feature requests into his notes. I am the one that asked for animated GIF output to be included. And less than a week later it was added in the latest version. That’s amazing support!

The only negative thing about the app is I think the animations are a little hard to get the hang of. It’s a little confusing trying to figure out how the animations work and how to best utilize them. The app includes a help area with little demos of how the animations work, but I still have a hard time getting them exactly how I want. I think if the animations feature could be simplified somehow that this app would be absolutely perfect.

Overall I’d give the app a 4.9 out of 5. Almost perfect! I’d like to thank the developer for his amazing contribution to the App Store and I hope he continues adding features and making this app the best it can be. It’s absolutely worth the price for a Pro plan, but the free version is amazing too if that’s all you need. I’d recommend everyone to purchase the Pro plan if you can to support this developer’s hard work and to encourage more features be added in the future.
