by Visual Blasters LLC

Detailed Review

FlipaClip: Create 2D Animation by Visual Blasters LLC positions itself as an entry-level animation platform for iOS devices, targeting users who want to create animated content without professional software complexity. The application maintains a 4.6-star rating through its balance of accessibility and functional depth, though user experiences vary significantly based on subscription status and tolerance for advertising interruptions. The application's core functionality revolves around frame-by-frame animation with layers, offering various brushes, lasso selection tools, fill capabilities, erasers, and shape tools including rulers. The timeline interface allows for precise frame management with onion skinning features that show previous and subsequent frames for smoother animation transitions. Tutorial integration provides guided learning paths for beginners, while the community features enable sharing and inspiration among users. User experience demonstrates a clear divide between free and premium users. The free version includes frequent advertising interruptions that some reviewers describe as disruptive to creative workflows. Navigation remains intuitive despite feature depth, with clearly labeled tools and a minimal learning curve for basic animation principles. Real-world usage patterns show both casual users creating short animations and dedicated creators producing multi-layer projects, though advanced features require the Plus subscription. User feedback reveals consistent themes across reviews. ChickenScratch06 (2025-09-06) praises the app's navigation and quality while requesting additional blending modes. Hfhfrbhfhurfjdgvjrncjfncdgcuh (2025-09-06) highlights the Plus version's ad-free experience and brush variety, while DogGamerJR (2025-09-06) criticizes advertising frequency despite awarding five stars. Technical issues appear in reviews like Plainmystic9427's (2025-09-06) report of theme song challenge errors. The application excels at providing accessible animation tools for beginners but faces limitations in advanced feature availability and advertising implementation. Strengths include the intuitive interface, comprehensive tutorial system, and capable free version tools. Limitations center on advertising frequency in the free version and some users' desire for more advanced blending and layer management features. Ideal for hobbyists, students, and aspiring animators seeking to learn 2D animation principles without significant financial investment.

I have tried many different animated apps and some of them are OK other ones are not good at all but flip a clip is so easy to use and I would highly recommend it for a new animator. I started at the age of 10 and now I’m really good at animating. This app is so fun to use, and my friends are low-key jealous of my animating… I’m so glad I found this app because the brushes are easy to use and it gives you plenty of fun tutorials and I just love this app so much and I used it very often I LOVE IT!
