BEWARE - It has a serious bug!

This app will randomly trash frames on you. On a number of occasions, I would return to work on my animation only to discover one of my frames got replaced with a drawing from a completely random frame. The drawing I had done was gone for good. Im sick of having to redo my work. In addition, there is a similar bug in which the frames get reordered randomly as well. Until these bugs are fixed, I cant recommend this app - it is unreliable.

The whole cloud idea is nice to be able to work on the mobile and desktop versions of the app, however this also has issues. Background layers from the mobile version do not come through on the desktop.

I will say it does have great potential and its obvious they put a lot of work into making the app. The UI could use some help though. I find myself toggling back and forth with the tool bars at the bottom a lot. For example, to cut and paste between frames, I have to flip to one tool bar, select the scissors tool, flip back to the frame navigation toolbar, do my cut or copy, go to the next frame, paste, then flip back again to the other toolbar to select my pencil. Its tedious. Id recommend using fly out menus from one toolbar and/or the floating tool column. One fly out menu could have all the scissors/brushes/pencils etc., another could have the color swatches, another for frame management etc.

Above all though PLEASE fix the frame trashing bug so I can use this app.
