## Description

Storyboard Animator lets you create storyboards by sketching, arranging panels, timing scenes, writing dialogue, and adding actions and SFX. Use the simple drawing interface or import images via drag-and-drop, then set timing and dialog for each panel. Play back your board as an animatic to preview the final flow. Timing can be as precise as a single frame for quick, realistic pre-visualization.

Export your project as a video, PDF, HTML, images, or text. Tap scene circles to adjust scene counts (swipe to decrement). Made for iPad, works on iPhone.

## Review summary

User feedback shows Storyboard Animator is easy and affordable with basic storyboard tools for quick iPad work. It provides notes, auto-numbered frames, and audio timing, which helps planning. However, it is plagued by crashes, unreliable exports, and various drawing/duplication bugs, plus a paywall that gates many features. Import and rotation limitations further constrain workflows. Overall useful for simple storyboarding but stability and monetization issues undermine long‑term use.

### Pros

- Easy to use and straightforward interface.
- Simple, lightweight storyboard tool ideal for quick iPad work.
- Affordable with a solid core feature set (basic drawing tools, auto-numbered frames, notes, and audio timing).
- Notes area and text support on frames aid planning and scripting.

### Cons

- Frequent crashes and stability issues across devices.
- Export failures: exporting animatics or frames often crashes or drops frames, with limited codecs.
- Paywall and premium gating block many features (e.g., slide limits) and frustrate smaller projects.
- Bugs with drawing and duplication: lines not copying, panels disappearing, or random deletions.
- Cannot import base images and no canvas rotation, limiting workflow.
