The basics

FlipaClip: Draw 2D Animation is a free art & design app published by Visual Blasters LLC. Its Play listing sums it up as: Cartoon & character animation maker to draw and create animated videos & stories.

What the ratings show

Look at the bars rather than just the average. FlipaClip: Draw 2D Animation scores 4.32, but the spread is 69.1% five star, 13.4% four star, 6.3% three star, 3.2% two star and 8.0% one star, across 800,029 ratings. Most people give it full marks, though the one star group is far from tiny.

The raw counts are 552,711 five star votes against 64,164 one star votes, roughly 9 to 1. The middle of the scale, two and three stars together, holds 9.5% of ratings (76,080 people). The listing shows 50,000,000+ installs, so the 800,029 ratings come from a slice of the people who installed it.

Features, as listed

In the developer’s words, “Bring your drawings to life with FlipaClip, the ultimate 2D animation maker and cartoon drawing app loved by millions”. It also states that “FlipaClip lets you draw, animate, and create short animated movies and flipbooks”. Another line from the listing: “Discover why millions of influencers and creators love this animation maker”. The listing goes on to say “It’s the easiest way to bring drawings, cartoons, anime, and stories to life”.

One more point the description makes: “Whether you want to learn how to draw anime, draw animation, create animated characters, memes, stick animations, or start your next cartoon series”. The description says: “Turn your drawings into short movies and animations in seconds”. In the developer’s words, “Our 2D animation app combines the simplicity of a flipbook animation with professional-grade animation editor tools”. That is what the developer says the app does. How well it does it for your own use is a separate question.

Where it falls short

The listing says it contains ads and offers in-app purchases, so expect to be asked for attention or money at some point. Also, 8.0% of raters left one star, which is a visible group of unhappy players. Check the screenshots and the most recent reviews on the Play page before you rely on it.
