User Reviews for Callipeg

Love it but

I really appreciate how feature rich this app is. There is a bit of a learning curve and you may have to check some tutorials, but that’s pretty standard for any sort of animation software. The thing that’s causing problems for me at the moment is that since the last update, it feels like the sensitivity is way off on my pen. I have to press really hard to even make a mark, to the point where I can see my physical screen deforming. I have an official Apple Pencil 2, so it’s not an issue with a third party tool. I do also have one of those paper-feel screen protectors, but it didn’t seem to have a problem with that before.

Fantastic potential!!

I downloaded this a few days ago and started trying it out, and all I can say is that I’m excited for the potential this app holds. The minimalistic interface is perfect for the iPad and very reminiscent of Procreate.Some of the navigation isn't entirely intuitive. Personally, I had troubles trying to duplicate frames, among a few other things. For the most part, it's fairly self explanatory.I'm not a fan of the subscription model when it comes to pricing, so I'm glad there's an option to buy it outright. As an app, I can see where the $50 price point can be an issue. However, comparing that to other feature-rich animation software such as CSP or Animate CC, I really can't complain.The smoothing on the brushes could be a bit better, but keeping it between 1 -6% yields excellent results. I'd like to see softer brush edges and imported audio the most right now. The pop-up buttons feel a little off to me and I think an alternative menu option would be a good option, or maybe make it togglable toolbar.Ultimately, this app is worth supporting and I am impressed with how non-invasive the interface is. I feel like this could be a game changer for industry professionals looking for something on the go. I look forward to what the developers have in store!! Thanks for a great product!!

Favorite animation program except for UI

I’ve been using callipeg since April 2021 and I’ve been really enjoying it the whole time! Unfortunately, a recent update changed the positions of the icons on the toolbar and has put the skip forward/backward frame buttons in a position that causes a lot of uncomfortable strain in my left hand to the point that I’m not sure I can use this program regularly anymore as I have to be extremely cautious about straining my wrists. This program has been extremely nice as it’s allowed me to be able to animate on my ipad away from my desk, so not being able to comfortably flip through my frames without hurting myself is disheartening. If the icons could be moved up the toolbar so that they sit where your hand comfortably rests again that would be incredible. This is the only animation program on iPad I’ve been able to find that allows me to quickly flip through frames, which is important to me as it makes my animations significantly more fluid. Sorry for a bit of a long review, I don’t usually give app reviews but this is a problem that’s really put a wrench in my ability to work and it’s been a bummer.

Import audio problem specific to 1 project file?

Hey today when I tried importing an audio file into my project but it seemed like it was glitched. Like whenever I tried to import an audio file into it, it crashes and even if I press the mute button/try to delete the audio layer it crashes. At first I thought it was the audio import function in general was broken however I tested it out on a different project I was relived to see that it worked perfectly fine but also a little annoyed at the same time since this one animation I was just starting to work on after days of procrastinating :/ also another thing, I decided to just deal with it and create a new audio layer in the same project with the glitched out audio layer and that one worked perfectly fine. I can’t even move the audio layer to the bottom or top so it would be out of my workspace. I even restarted my device to see if it was just my device acting up but no, I still have it. Also there’s a weird thin line and small 3 black dots underneath it in the first ‘frame’ of the audio timeline. I hope this could be just a one-off thing, I’m just a little wary about it happening again in the future the next time I try to import audio Thank youUpdate: I realized not even adding a new audio layer will prevent it from crashing if I just use the new one instead of the broken one, when the project plays to the end, it always crashes and undos my new audio layer so there’s no point on adding a new one in the first place :/

Great, but some suggestions

First of all, I want to say that this app is GREAT! It’s been a joy to animate in, probably my favorite animation app for iPad (I’ve heard ToonSquid is pretty good, but the UI stopped me from buying it)! Although great, I have some features that I would like added:Grouping Layers:Although you can TECHNICALLY group layers using a transform layer, I would find it much more sufficient to just group layers. I work with a lot of layers when animating, and it can get tiring to try to find a specific layer.Tweening Width and Height:I may just be blind and not know this feature is there, but although I appreciate tweening the X and Y positions of my objects while animating, I would also love to be able to quickly tween the width and height.Stabilizer:Now, although you have a stabilizer, I would like an option to make the brush move slower rather than line correction. It took FlipaClip like, six years to include a stabilizer, though, so I wouldn’t be surprised if it took a while for you guys at Callipeg.Rigging:Now, this is what I assume to be an incredibly hard thing to integrate into Callipeg, but it would make a lot of animators lives SO much easier. Personally, I prefer hand-drawn animation, but I know a lot of people who use rigging in their animations.Thanks for reading my really long review, and I don’t want to rush any of you people into implementing these features!Thanks,Just some dumb animator ;-;

Suggestions

I love this app and I believe it is the best animation program in the app store. It is so close to being perfect. Here are some suggestions that I think would greatly improve the app:- Folder layer - the timeline starts to get extremely messy with even just a few layers. A folder layer would be great for organizing the layers. It’s like merging the layers but you have the ability to expand it and adjust the keyframes.- Improve transformation layer - The transformation layer is a bit finicky. I think adding better control with easing in and out within the timeline, and having the ability to draw the guiding line on the sheet, sort of like a pen tool in photoshop and animate cc, would make it easier to have fluid animation.- Camera layer - I think it would be great to have a separate, movable, camera layer. It would make animations look more film-like, having things like camera shake, zooming in/out, and panning across the screen. Please consider these suggestions. I really do love this app and I find it incredible that this even exists on the app store. I hope more people start using this.

Love this app!!! There seems to be a glitch though…

Hey! I’ve been using Callipeg for about a year and a half I think, and I knew I would love it! I have a frame by frame app which is nice, but it just does frame by frame. There’s a few other things too, but it’s just for one type of animation. I also have another that seems to be a MUCH more advanced app! But…it is just a bit too advanced for me at the time. Callipeg is the perfect middle ground for me! Frame by frame and keyframing!!! I love it!!! The glitch, which I just noticed right now, is just the past few times I opened the app or exited a project, I’m hit with the try or buy window for the app, which is a bit odd, because I already purchased the app, with the full permanent price! I should own the app in perpetuity since I bought the permanent purchase. A few times this window slides up and down immediately before I can see what it was, and I can use the app as if nothing happened. But other times it slides up and stays there until I exit the app and hop back in. It’s not too annoying right now, but I wanted to let you guys know that the “try or buy” window seems to be bugging out, even on copies of the app that have been bought using the permanent purchase. I love this app and I want to help stop a potential issue before it worsens. That all being said: Thanks so much for making this awesome app!!! Thank you all!!!💖💖💖💖💖

Animator

I’ve been using this app for a a couple of months now and it’s been great!!! But they updated it a couple of days ago and the update is not great I watched the new video and literally 70% of the new update was just for the homepage and organizing projects which is great and all but the tool I use the most is broken!!! Before the update the selection too would work great!! I could move my characters just a lil and nothing would happen.. but now when I try moving my characters even just a lil they move to entirely new places and the size of the character even changes!! Could you please go back to the old update when I didn’t have to worry about if my selection tool would work or not. It’s really upsetting because I fricken love this app!! But if this keeps happening I’m afraid I’m going to have to switch :(

Like Procreate, but tailored for Animation!

This app is the exact design and functionality that I was hoping would exist on the iPad. Yes it’s actually a paid app but it’s more than worth the capabilities that come with it. And while this is presented as an animation app, it can be used for so many other scenarios. This is a tool for any kind of pre-visualization whether for that’s for live action film, animation, ui design, game concepts, it’s pretty limitless (especially with the range of export formats available).There are very occasional hitches, but everything is auto saved frequently by default so it’s never disrupted my workflow more than a few seconds. Also, the Apple Pencil precision is not nearly as accurate as it is procreate (doesn’t distinguish drawing with the edge of the tip vs. the point), so I hope they’ll iron that out in future updates.Overall, still highly recommended as there’s no other native iPad app like this out there and many of the issues listed are already known and being tracked by the devs.

Good Potential; Not Quite There

Now I wanna start off by saying I’m by no means a professional animator, nor do I know how to animate, but I wanted to start trying to learn. A lot of apps lack a streamline interface or the tools to do so; enter Callipeg. It has so much potential, with an audio feature, layers that go across all of the frames, and so on. My one issue? It crashed, a ton. Particularly when pressing certain buttons, for example: Pressing play on the animation wouldnt crash it, but using the same button to pause it would instantly kick me from the app. And it was a consistent issue, not just a one off. A few other buttons are like that as well. I can see this app doing so well, genuinely, it’s one of the very few to have even close to the tools comparable to a pc program. But it just isn’t quite there yet. I have high hopes that as it progresses, a lot of the smaller bugs and crashes will be ironed out once the bigger implementations have been put in!
