## Review summary

Animatic is praised for ease of use and onion skinning, making it approachable for beginners and even kids. However, recurring issues include lack of layers, missing basic tools (rotation/flip/zoom), frequent crashes and frame problems, and a monetization model based on ads/subscriptions, which undermines its appeal for long-term use.

### Pros

- Beginner-friendly and intuitive, easy for newcomers to pick up
- Fun to use with a relaxing, chill vibe suitable for casual creators
- Onion skinning helps with frame-by-frame animation
- Suitable for quick, simple animations and accessible to kids/family

### Cons

- No or very limited layers (no folders, blend modes) and missing advanced layering
- Intrusive ads and a subscription-based pricing model; many want a one-time purchase
- Frequent crashes and bugs (frame loss, export glitches, frame deletion crashes)
- Missing essential tools (cannot rotate or flip canvas, limited zoom/brush options)
