Losing Work is Unacceptable

I really wanted to like this app. The ability to organize your boards quickly and leave notes that can be exported and presented quickly and professionally into a PDF format was especially attractive to me. That said, this software’s propensity for losing work is unacceptable. I am a very patient person, and I have a better tolerance for minor bugs and glitches than most — however, spontaneously deleting a particularly difficult panel after I had spent an hour toying and problem solving to get the right emotion and angle was infuriating.I went through the settings and deactivated all touch and swipe actions hoping that perhaps it was human error and that the glitch could be resolved. Second redo of the board and the app started to bug out again. I tossed the drawing to my clipboard before closing the app thus saving my progress, but that’s two strikes and I’m not willing to chance a third.I ultimately exported remaining image sequence to a folder and imported the layers into a tried an true software package (Procreate). It may not be built explicitly for boarding, but I will take the inconvenience of toggling off Layers to losing my work any day.To the developer, maybe run a more extensive beta testing phase before releasing a software package I assume was intended for professional use — had I been working on a deadline this could have really shot me in the foot.I am NOT a happy customer.

This app is great!… But

Don’t get me wrong I really like this app, but lately I’ve been having some problems…I recently got this app so maybe I just don't know how it works completely but when I try to draw it doesn’t work. It will let me draw if I select straight line, but without that I can’t get it to let me draw anything. It was working before, but it suddenly just stopped working. Maybe I need to update it? Maybe I need to refresh the app again? Idk. I also have a few suggestions. First of all it would be really nice to have a few more brushes, like maybe a paintbrush, pen and the pencil. It doesn’t need to be too fancy, but it would be really nice to have a small variety. It would also be cool if you could change the opacity for the brush. Of course these are just ideas to make story boarding a bit more interesting.Other than that, great app, I like the design and simplicity it is while still having all the fundamental needs for a good storyboard.

Best Storyboarding App in the iOS Store.

(Updated Review of version 2.3.)I still maintain that this is the best storyboarding app on iOS, bar none.Dark Mode has been added, which makes working with the app easier on the eyes. Keyboard Shortcuts have been added as well, which is very useful if you’re jotting ideas down at a rapid fire clip. And the ability to re-size the canvas during Editing Mode is a great addition. I also found the iPhone version of the app to be an excellent port. The option to storyboard when I’m on the train or on a line is a liberating one. The iPhone version is just as functional as the iPad version (as it should be). Grateful for Keely’s ongoing care and attention to the app. I’ve written emails to him a couple of times and he seems open to feedback. This is one neat program and I woul happily pay for an upgraded version just to support development if asked.

Great feature set!

I set forth to endure the arduous process of storyboarding my idea when I found this app. With its natural workflow + sneaky powerful tools (onion skinning & layers to name a couple) however, I’m finding myself using this app to create essentially an animatic. I might be asking more of this app than it is capable of (way more scenes than you’d expect for a storyboard), we’ll see… So far, this app is exactly what I’ve been looking for in a storyboarding tool. With a more polished UI, this app would be wildly popular (if it isn’t already).

Overall extremely useful tool!

After seeing my friend’s iPad Pro and Apple Pencil in action, I decided to venture into using a dummy stylus to make storyboards with my iPad 2 mini. I watched a few tutorials on how to draw figures and faces, and jumped in to using the Storyboard app.This app is incredibly simple and useful, and I’m amazed how quickly my boards are coming together. The straight line tool was hidden in the sub-pencil menu, and is incredibly useful, just keep in mind that turning it on breaks the eraser from functioning normally—it seems like nothing erases. This should be fixed to be enabled under an eraser sub-menu so they can function independent of each other.The functionality of having layers, quickly cloning boards, and giving run time to boards so they can play is truly useful.For the price, I give this app 5-stars. There are some things that would be nice:The pencil thickness slider at the smaller end, it ramps down very quickly and I often have to try a few times to get the desired thickness. It shouldn’t be linear but rather slowly ramp the smaller diameters.The ability to paste images would be nice.There should be opacity and feathering for strokes.A history of chosen colors at the top row of the swatches would be helpful, too.Overall, this app is great!

Makes Animation Easier

This is a very useful and powerful application. I always think of new ideas for plots and yet, there’s no notebook around to write it down. This app changes everything. Now whenever I think of a new idea for an animation, I can draw it out onto this app. What’s more, since I can plan out animations easier, I can have a better idea on how exactly I should animate the scene. In conclusion, it’s easy to use and very convenient.

great, but needs fixin

I really enjoy using this, its very helpful, simple and ive done a lot with it for someone whos young and new to storyboarding. but for me its incredibly buggy at times. Sometimes layers would just completely erase themselves for no reason, sometimes itd kick me out of the app after trying to play it, and the colors i choose dont correlate to what the actual color is. Even though some of these are kinda rare, they can still really keep me away from it. Also extra note, the ability to add more layers would be a good addition.But overall, nice app.

The only app like it

I just found this app and I’m truly shocked it’s the only one like it. I’m deeply thankful it exists, though it’s a bit buggy. When I duplicate a frame while drawing, not all the line work gets moved over. Can’t exactly explain what’s happening but it’s a frustrating bug, I need to go back to the view of all my frames and manually copy and paste to duplicate. Sometimes it crashes, which is no big deal, but not my favorite. Despite these things, still giving this app 4 stars because it provides the functionality I need 1) basic enough drawing tools2) auto numbers frames3) a place to type dialog and scene directionEvery other app is either a robust digital art tool that can’t handle text in an easy way, or a storyboard app that only allows weird stock models. This is the only app like this for animators out there! Thank you so much and I’m so glad you’re still supporting it!

Got bugs

I’m not the smartest guy on earth (which could be the problem) but hopefully the developers can get back with me and fix them. Like the pen/pencil whatever thing is stuck on the biggest setting when I go to draw I restarted the app and everything. I paid for the pro as well, not bad but hopefully you guys can make this better if not I wasted my money. Another thing when I go to enter the dialogue it should be bigger than just one line, along with sfx. If not for the bugs it would be great it is useful only giving it a one star to hopefully get attention to the problems thanks.

Great App. If it had a timeline it'd be in a class all its own

I've done extensive research and workflow testing, across iOS and desktop applications in hopes of making the iPad Pro my main storyboarding tool. The drag and drop from procreate is amazing, I wish more apps let you do that. The one feature I'd beg for is a visual timeline like an NLE. Even a basic timeline that let you see your shots in order and let you scrub to control playback would be a total game changer for story artists. As it is now you can reorder your shots and assign them a duration, which is nice, but if you look at storyboarder for desktop you will see how powerful it is to go sketch-> timeline.

Description

Create storyboards: draw, arrange, time, write, and animate. Use the simple drawing interface to sketch a panel or import (with drag and drop) from any other app. Set the timing, write dialog, action, and SFX for each panel.

Play the board back as an animatic to get a feel of your final project. Export as a video, PDF, HTML, images, or text file. Timing can be as small as a single frame, so real-time animations can be demonstrated within the board. Tap on the "scene" circles to increment the scene count (swipe to decrement). Made for iPad, works on iPhone.
