Some thoughts on AD

Personally, I like this app and there is a lot of potential in it for being a good animation app. I could make pencil tests and export them as a psd, so more work could be done in Photoshop o Clip Studio paint. Heck this might be the only mobile app that does that. The tools have have their own shapes, which affect how the sketch lines would appear in the frame. Plus its possible to flip or roll the frames with the sidebar, which helps to check the volume of a animation; again this something that is unique to this app.

However, I can only give it three stars, as there appears to be a bug where the previous frame overwrites one of the newer frames. This happens when the file is opened, and I find it to be random as well. This bug has been around since last year or even longer. I thought they would have find a solution to this issue a while back, but it still exists. The fact that this glitch is still around makes me leery extending the subscription.

The other reason stems from the selection tool, as it cannot select the whole screen. I think this could be fixed if the user were able to zoom out from their animation.

Now if the bug issue with the frames were fixed, this app would get a higher score. Though it would be great, if it were stable.

Otherwise, happy animating folks!
