Review summary

RoughAnimator is praised for being a one-time purchase app with advanced animation capabilities, better than many alternatives like Flipaclip. Users appreciate features like timeline control, custom brushes, and strong stylus support. However, multiple users report crashes leading to lost work, an overly cluttered UI on small devices, export/saving restrictions due to Android 12 file access changes, and persistent audio synchronization problems. Device compatibility varies, with some experiencing crashes or display issues on specific hardware. Despite these, many find it a worthwhile investment with ongoing improvements.

Pros

One-time purchase with no subscriptions and no ads, offering comprehensive animation tools for a reasonable price.
Rich and advanced animation features such as timeline control, custom brushes, ability to edit multiple frames at once, and audio import/export.
Good support for stylus/tablet input, including floating cursor support and pen sensitivity.
More powerful and versatile than popular alternatives like Flipaclip.
Regular updates that improve features and fix issues, with optimistic user reception.

Cons

App crashes or glitches causing loss of progress or frames disappearing unexpectedly.
User interface can be cluttered or complicated, especially on small phone screens, making navigation and working space limited.
Issues with saving/exporting files due to Android data folder restrictions and limited saving locations, sometimes requiring workarounds like sharing to Dropbox.
Audio synchronization bugs where audio playback shifts or is out of sync after edits.
Some compatibility or usability issues on certain devices, such as specific tablets causing screen flashing or crashes, and problems using drawing tablets in landscape mode.

2026-04-13	Da*****	it was great at the beginning, but rn it is a "little" buggy so idk if this is a bug or not but I cant import audio from my gallery anymore and I can only import mp3 files as audio but I dont have mp3 only mp4 so to add the audio I have to import a video then delete the layer with the vid, but rn when I do that it crashes so I kinda dont know what to do, and now a bug that I know it is bug but i cant describe it cuz i am running out of word to write. It is a good app.

2026-04-12	Ak*****	Excellent app that gets better with each stable update. l have it on windows and multiple android devices. I'd love to see selection based on shapes not just the freehand lasso tool. it'd be great to have perspective transformation after selection.

2026-04-12	Na*****	I can barely even move the canvas without the screen freezing for some reason, nor use the brushes without it lagging either. It's literally a simple interface with hardly anything complicated going on, so I don't understand how this makes ANY sense. I paid $8 for this app, and I expected to make use of it instead of complaining about how strangely unusable it is. Yes, I've already tried other methods like quitting background apps and restarting my device; doesn't work. Please fix this. 😕

2026-04-10	Sé*****	Simple, streamlined, and extremely functional. It is basically the no friction app for animating on Android. Of course, the downside is a lack of features that might come in handy for more involved animation process. For my usecase (game dev hobbyist with a knack for art) it is flawless.

2026-04-10	Az*****	roughanimator is good but suddenly after i imported a video it started to glitch a lot, even my new projects, I'm scared because sometimes whenever I redo, it automatically deletes my whole frame and I cant even do anything on that frame after it does that, and its doing it frequently, and sometimes it starts to glitch and has glitch stuff on the canvas, and the only way to fix it is to delete the whole frame, please fix this its making me sad, because I like this app :( pls answer
