Summary

The app receives predominantly negative feedback due to significant changes in its monetization strategy, with many core and previously free features, including basic animation and saving, now locked behind a subscription paywall. Users frequently report severe stability issues, such as constant crashing, glitches during project creation, and problems with exporting animated videos, sometimes linked to recent updates. While a segment of the user base still praises the app's intuitive interface, ease of use, and overall quality of animation for still images, these positive aspects are often overshadowed by widespread complaints regarding unclear billing, unexpected auto-renewals, and a perceived decline in functionality and value. Some users also express a desire for more diverse elements, custom music options, and workflow improvements.
