User Reviews for MotionBook - Draw & Animate

I love it!

This is a great app to use for beginners with little experience with animations, but there is one this I would change. I am in the middle of doing a animation for an anime. The only problem is, this app should have a feature to turn, or rotate when you are drawing. Especially, for what I’m doing and many others are probably doing with this app. I cannot get certain details because I just can’t turn it. Also, how do you take a video out of the background? Like, if I were to trace someone dancing, how do I get the video out?

Its amazing but it needs a fill feature

I have been using this app ever since i was 7 and now I’m 9… and i know it’s not a great improvement but anyways there is one thing I’ve always wanted and that is a fill opinion like it would save SO much time in fact there is this one animation i’m doing and I started in 2019 and I still haven’t finished it so it would REALLY help me out if you added this feature. But i just wanna make it clear you don’t have to add this feature in fact you probably won’t but I’m just saying that it is you’re choice bye.

Love the app, would like to see layers added!

I’ve been using the free version of this app for a little bit now and I’m completely amazed at what this application has to offer. Normally you are very restricted with the free version of any drawing app, but these guys do it so much better. I was considering buying the full version, however, I would like to see a layers system added into the full version. There are many times I find myself making drafts and sketches that I would like to erase completely and still have finished mine work intact or top of it. Other than that, this app works great for anyone looking to get into animation and on a low budget such as myself.

Amazing but…

This app is amazing truly but one thing I feel is off is that it has no layers. Layers are a key thing to animation and it can be hard without this ability. Another thing is there is not enough zoom (for me personally) to get the details mostly on the eyes, along with not a thin enough brush. (These issues are mostly personal) but I love the color range and the current abilities. I would recommend getting the advanced version if you want to use this long term for serious animation. Overall good app just a few tweaks needed.

Great great great, missing a few things

Only been using it for a few minutes, I downloaded the app assuming there was a paid version and went in with the intent of buying it because I could just refund if I didn’t like it. It’s great, everything works well and is easy to use. There’s just a few thing that I think it needs to REALLY be awesome, I’ve seen another review mention layers, that’s a big one for me too. Aside from layers, I think that there really needs to be a way to select multiple frames at once so you can copy a motion without getting tangled in the pages if you get what I mean. It can get messy reusing a sequence of frames when there’s not an easy way to just copy and move the sequence. Last thing is less important over all, especially if layers are added, but I’d love to see a way to keep something selected and be able to go into other tools, like selecting the shirt of a character and then coloring it in without going beyond what you’ve selected. Kind of advanced mechanics for an app, I could do all this in photoshop which I have, but there’s a convenience in this that sitting at my desk doesn’t give. Over all I think the 5 dollar price point is fair, the app feels good, works well, produces fairly high quality pieces, if it had those few things I mentioned I would RAVE about this app none stop. Honestly it is so so so close to being nearly perfect for what it is.

Please fix this!🐉🐱

So I LOVE animating! I include them in all my Yt videos! However sadly I may stop using this certain app because there is no bucket fill option. It may seem pathetic to stop using an app for that reason but the pain is real. Having to colour an entire page with your bare hands makes you feel like jello, and nobody wants to do that. I’m sorry for my rude words but it’s true. If you add this feature I will not delete the app, and I will come back give 5 stars and I will even change my review to something that would make people enjoy the concept of the game. Now it’s not like I’m expecting a change or respond since you haven’t responded to ANYONE else, but just letting you know 😉. Otherwise the app is okay.Okay- it’s been TWO WEEKS. I’m not being patient since it’s not like I’ll get a response anyway. I’m deleting this app and getting stick nodes instead. I recommend readers do too.

UNDO!!!

As an artist that is always scavenging for apps that are amazing and free to use, this app was perfect! When I first opened the app, the layout was not oversimplified, but also not overwhelming. The brushes on this app are few but awesome. If my friends were looking for a free animation app, this would be one of my top 3 recommendations. The only issue (and albeit a minor one) I have with this program is that when you double or triple tap to undo, it doesn’t have the function (for me). This is something I would love to see added because it makes everything much easier for the artist. The other thing is a selection tool, which would be very useful for editing small or large details. This is still a stellar app that I would recommend nonetheless!

Missing a few things

Some tools that could improve the app are 1. A bucket tool. I spent a very long time filling in pages! 2. Larger brush options. Not only would this mostly negate the need for a bucket, but it would also be more effective for making a lot of different things at larger scale without the possibility of making them different sizes accidentally. 3. Layers. I’m certain that this is the most mentioned issue within the reviews. It’s difficult to draw digitally, let alone animate, without being able to select layers to work in. Otherwise, it’s a pretty basic animation app. I would recommend this app over Flip-a-clip for more detailed animations just because of the smaller brushes that this one offers. However, if you’re looking for an animation app for vibrant colors and cuter animations with less detail, Flip-a-clip is the way to go. They offer layers and I think a wider selection of brushes, and they have a fill tool.

One of my favorites

This is one of my favorite animation apps to date. It's simple which is perfect for throwing together some quick animatics, but has some really great features in the pro version which made upgrading worth it to me. I like the drawing tools, they feel and look smooth. My only complaint is that there's no layer feature, it's just one layer per frame. Even just the ability to use three layers per frame would be a huge upgrade. I would definitely pay for that addition to the app.

Powerful and easy to use

This app is pretty powerful in its free state, but definitely worth the five bucks for the more advanced features. It’s a straight-forward flip-book animation tool that offers smooth drawing. Its interface is uncluttered and simple, and that’s actually the only problem I’ve found with it so far—there aren’t enough controls. By default, the app saves its internal projects to iCloud, which is useful if you’re going to be working on animations on different devices, but I prefer to keep everything on my iPad. It’s possible to set the default location to save projects to your local device, but you have to go to the settings app to do it.MotionBook is definitely worth playing with, if you’re interested in rotoscoping, adding doodles to existing videos or photos, or drawing animations from scratch.
