Really interesting way to make simple animations

I just got a device with a TrueDepth camera (iPad Pro, running the app in iPhone mode), and am exploring what’s available to use that tech. This app is really cool, if limited. (Read the description clearly — this REQUIRES a device with a TrueDepth camera — that is iPhone X or later, and I can confirm it works with the new generation of iPad Pro with TrueDepth camera.)

First off, the developer has obviously put a lot of work into this app, and it’s a really clever approach to using the TrueDepth camera for performance capture animation. You can try it out all you like by doodling characters with its in-app tools, and seeing how well they react to your facial movements. If you want to record a video, you need to buy a modest IAP to enable recording; that’s only reasonable given how much work has gone into the app. (I really appreciate that it’s a one-time IAP and not a subscription!)

I’d love to see the ability to import drawings I do in other apps to use as the features of the characters; the tools for drawing in this app are decent, but dedicated drawing and painting apps give you a lot more power; the animation tools here are what steal the show!

But for making simple, meme-like animations, this app has all the tools you need. It’s fun to play with and once you spring for the IAP, it produces fun video clips you can share.

Great app but lacking features

The app is amazing! But i have a few suggestions
1.Add bodys (arms legs etc)
2.Add a zoom in feature
The bodies would help in making animations and such
And zoom in allows for smaller details to be added ty for reading

Cool app, pls see below?

The app does what it says, got some ideas, are you able to import a photo from phone and doodle/animate and still work with TrueDepth camera :/ invisible ink so maybe photo moves along with a circled/shaded area? Idk just saying something random sorry about that. And maybe a option to view other people’s drawing and make them move

Developer Response ,

Hi! Thanks for your review and for your suggestions! Importing photos from the gallery is one of the features I've been considering lately. Hope I can add it soon!
