Reviews Summary
Users love Stick Nodes Pro - Animator for its wide range of features, ease of use, and active community support, though they suggest various improvements such as better sound effect management, vector design for character creation, and a potential PC version to further enhance the animation experience.
It's great! It works like a charm and the online community has a lot of nice models I can use! I just wish we could select more than one frame and move more than one joint at a time for easier walking kicking and punching animations. Also to make a function that makes it so stickmen can't clip together for an easier time making collisions. I also wish there was a way to push segments behind or in the front in the main module

Thanks for the rating and review! You can probably use the "Add Tweened Frame" button to help animate quicker, the app will essentially create a frame in between two frames so it kind of animates for you.
I wanna start with. I absolutely love this app. It's amazing and I have used it for years. It's always held up as a great, easy to use app. But I'd love to use this review to hopefully recommend something I have a personal issue with, lol. I personally feel that the sound effect system could be a lot better. While it's a lot to ask, I'd love to be able to add bigger files to the app to use as sound effects. As well as maybe adding a sort of "timeline" for sound effects to help with easy use. TY!
Personally, I absolutely adore this animator. It is one of the best out there! Sure, its UI isn't really user-friendly, and it gets even more complicated with the PRO version, but the huge amount of effects and features only make it better. If you're new, I would lightly suggest stick nodes PRO as it could help you improve with the nudge features and all, but it might overwhelm you, so take your time before getting into effects and all
Stick Nodes is one of the most convenient animation software I've ever had the pleasure to use. The price is relatively minor, and it's a very nice tool that has many great features, including the creation of your own characters and a way to import them, and a link to a website for sharing everything from characters to app themes! Even the lite version still functions really nice, even with the limited functionality. The lite version doesn't even have that many ads! 5/5, great software!!!
There is a lot of room to improve. It is one of the animation apps that motivated me to animate. The animation part is simply mind-blowing, but we can improve in the character designing and rigging if possible. Because I see this app as a mobile moha version, It just lacks some of those features. Animating is so much fun, but I wish we could add more features like vector design for character creation. I know this app is one of the best, but I want to see it grow more and more.
It's really solid, and I gotta give it credit for being what introduced me to animation in the first place, and I really like what this app can do. However, I do believe that the stickfigure creation feature could use some additions, specifically the option to add sprites and movieclips to stickfigures. I feel like that would make sense, since with the sprites update, people are going to begin making rigs for games like MSM.
The learning curve is not big at all. There is also a big and active community ready to help you take your animations to the next level, and some of the things you learn on this app are applicable to other apps. That everything you need a library of chracyers,some sounds and all bells and whistles required to make good special effects. If you are new to animation, start here. I definitely would recommend.
It's great! I do have a suggestion though. Could there be like a "color group" thing for stickfigures? Like a way to add segment colors or gradients (and polyfills) to a Color group, and the group would work like the StickFigure color, in that you can change one setting and all the nodes and gradients and polyfills linked to it would change.
Love the app and love the features, if you are looking for something to waste time on, then get this app. I have 1 suggestion, a overlapping sound feature would be awesome, for 2 sounds happening in one frame for your project(s). I lied, I have another suggestion, a "change to" button. You would select the stick figure and hit the change to button and it would show a list of the stick figure(s) you have. And if you use tween frames and you change you stick figure to something else. (edited)

Thank you for the review! Appreciate the suggestions too - multiple sounds on one frame seems to be a popular one...
Woh, and actual review from Red,? Hell yeah. Stick Nodes is a very well made mobile animator. It may be hard to you sometimes, but it's often because of new features. This app allows you to take the power of animation with you anywhere you want and I love that. My only problem is that I often suffer from Animation Block, but that's a me problem and not an app problem, so I won't be taking any stars away. End of the day, this app is great and every update brings exciting new features. 10/10.
