Very useful animation app. May take some time to get used to, but generally a great beginner animating app. Also, tweening is a must when animating. They use tween g in a standard manner, but I've never tweeted frames before, and this helped me get into it easily. This software is very versatile and helped me level up my animation skills. Would recommend.

PLEASE ADD AN AUTO SAVE/BACKUP FEATURE. It would be appreciated if there was a setting for autosaving your project at intervals, and for this to be on by default. I was working on a project with the "remember to save" popup deactivated. I was in a car, so I was unable to charge my phone. Unfortunately my phone died during the journey. The project had taken me 4-5 hours in total, and it was all lost. Please add an autosave. If so this would be five stars as the app is useful and easy to pick up

This is great for something that isn't the pro version of it, I test all sorts of animation ideas on stick nodes and it runs quite nice. My favorite tool is the tween tool,it just make the animation so much more smoother, this tool has helped in a lot of my animation making/testing. Thank you Ralph for making this as it's a must for beginners, very nice of you not to add as many ad's on this one as this is like the demo for the real deal. Best of luck to you.
