Picsart Animator - GIF & Video Reviews

by Patrick McCord

I absolutely love PicsartAnimator, everything about it is truly wonderful. The simplicity, the lack of ads, the complete lack of "pay for content" However it has some very serious errors upon which cause it to crash. I spent hours making an animation for my girlfriend, and now all of the sudden PicsartAnimator is starting to crash continuously. Please update PicsartAnimator , this is by far the best animation app I've ever seen and I'd hate to see it stay in this stagnant useless state.

Okay I was making an animation when it crashed. But that's only the beginning. I wanted to finish it so I opened it again and it said "unsaved changes open or delete?" I said open and it opens my animation I soon finish and then want to make another because I had an idea. It loaded and loaded. Then the screen tuned black and crashed!! I tried it again and again but it kept crashing! So I tried to save it and it also crashed. So I came to write this review.

Okay, hi creators of PicsArt. Today I’m going to report s me of the issues I had. And what are the issues you ask? Well, it’s not much, really. So I downloaded PicsartAnimator today and deleted it the same day because it was really slow. Another thing that I want to report is that maybe you can have some updates? I don’t think I can put volume in my animation, and maybe you guys can make an update about that! Sounds good? Okay! Bye!

So if you got PicsartAnimator i bet you don't know as much as the older people that got it i am one of the newbies of PicsartAnimator and......well i don't know how to delete the old animations but until u guys that made PicsartAnimator fix that I'm going ti give u 3 stars tge second reason is that it needs to tell u the basics of how to USE THE DARN APP but i have to say this is the best animation app i have used not counting the things i mentioned other than that its amazing!!

So, I love to draw and stuff on my phone, tested out PicsartAnimator , made a simple animation that I liked, but as I progressed into larger projects, I noticed some huge flaws.

1. The layering system is TRASH. So hard to understand, and in general it’s glitchy and unresponsive. Fail in my books.
2. There is a lot of tools that need to be there that are not. Most importantly for me, A stabilizer. That is a HUGE flaw in any app that involves art/drawing.
3. There is no blend tool. I can’t stress enough the fact that that is a necessary tool to create all different styles and looks,
4. In general, PicsartAnimator is slow. That might be my phone, though. (iPhone 6)
5. PicsartAnimator all together is done simply, and normally that’s what I want in a drawing app, but this one is so simple it’s hard to understand. (Simple instructions, controls, etc.)

But, PicsartAnimator is great for beginning animators and such. I recommend it! I mean, if you don’t like it, you can uninstall it.

Ps, one good thing, I haven’t seen any ads.

So, PicsartAnimator does not act as it's advertised. It animates well, but when I try add a second layer it messes up everything, and it doesn't zoom in that well when I try to draw or color in something small. To be quite honest, I'm pretty disappointed in PicsartAnimator. It could be much better. Although, there are some pros in PicsartAnimator. I like the fact that you can change the speed of the animation so it's not to slow or too fast. If you're looking for an app that makes animatics, than this is definitely PicsartAnimator for you. But it's not very good for animation.

Hopefully you'll read this!
Being a very key component to making your app much better and more popular among several other animation and art apps in general
YOU MUST ADD STABILIZER TO YOUR APP!
As you know the stabilizer makes each line you draw correct itself or in other words makes the line clean
It's a key component to any art or animation app!
Multiple artist use computers and very expensive equipment but many don't have that caliber of an upgrade so in order to do any animation of such we rely on mobile apps. So making PicsartAnimator much better for those general people and people just wanting to have fun a stabilizer IS KEY.
I hope you read this and put some thought into it
-Thank you

I love animating it’s so fun! I have some suggestions, to make PicsartAnimator more enjoyable. I think you should add the choice for people to choose there speed and movement of the animation, kinda like flipaclip just easier! If you do see this, thank you for reading this! Please consider my suggestion have a good day!

Well, I love it, it runs smoothly. Colors are great, it's great for small animations. When I had a 1 minute animation, every time I tried to save it, PicsartAnimator would close. I was really upset because I worked all day on it! And it should have more features like, if you want to move something around you have to copy it then paste it. Then you have to delete the one you had before you moved the picture. And when you go to the homepage and open an animation up and close it, a pops up as a new animation, so you have 3 of the same animations. So in conclusion I recommend it if your going to do small animations. And #Am rocks the same thing happened to me.

PicsartAnimator works really well and has perfect potential if they add more updates. Except the other day it deleted all my videos on PicsartAnimator ? I had already saved some but others sadly weren't saved. I'm not sure if it just crashed or if it will do this again but bottom line: it's a cool app but save everything to your phone no matter what unless you don't care about it
Edit: it keeps crashing so until that's fixed I wouldn't recommend it

by Cub Awesomeness

I like this animator a lot and I’ve been using it for a while but ever since a couple of days ago all my animations keep getting deleted and I can’t find a way to fix them. So if you can try to fix that I would use this animator more

While I DO love PicsartAnimator, I’ve found some flaws. First of all, when I try to draw a shape, it’s the wrong shape, which means that I have to memorize the shape that is each shape. Also, PicsartAnimator crashes at random times. I’m trying to download a really long animation I just made, but my phone crashes every time I try to download it. This could just be my phone, but it could also PicsartAnimator , so make PicsartAnimator better. Also, the screen bugs out at random times, which could just be my phone. Also, please add the ability to add text. It’ll make things so much easier for me.

I think this is an amazing animation app, it has lots of very useful tools for making animations. Just a couple things you could definitely improve -
•The Emoji Me tool. A lot of times it doesn’t pick up the face I recorded, and the result is a little weird sometimes. It has lots of potential though, I can see how it could be really useful for animation.
•A few bugs and glitches here and there.

by Bunnywinsalot

I absolutely love PicsartAnimator, and think it's one of the best animation apps out there, but I have a problem. I was working on this animation, and then after I tried to save it, PicsartAnimator crashed. It happened continuously, but eventually I was able to save it. But, now if I try to go in it, it says that the project is corrupted. It won't let me look at my project, or anything. It just puts tells me it's corrupted. I spent over 3 hours on that animation, and I would love it if you could make it un-corrupted by updating or something. Other than that, this is truly an amazing app.

Overall, I LOVE PicsartAnimator, it is so much easier to animate on and more fun than Procreate which is what I was using before. The only major flaw that is in procreate but not here, is that in procreate, when you draw, say, a sloppy line, you can hold down and it auto straightens it! Then once it auto does something, at the top you have a bar of similar shapes you could have meant and you can turn it to that. This is a MUST HAVE for good animation apps. I am personally completely lost, and not wanting to use PicsartAnimator when this feature is missing. On the plus side, I adore PicsartAnimator and would recommend to anyone who is new to animation. PicsartAnimator makes the frames come together smoothly, and give a big variety of options for things to do, including (obviously) a color wheel, and different brushes. I am still fairly new to PicsartAnimator, so I didn’t discover all the features just yet. I think PicsartAnimator would be a LOT more popular and have a LOT better ratings if this feature was added. So please, if the developer sees this, PLEASE add this feature, it would be a life saver.

Overall, love PicsartAnimator, just ADD THE PERFECT SHAPES!!! Pls :)

I like PicsartAnimator but there are a few little things. One thing is it can’t really take in small things if theres no big thing. I did a dot drawing and had to keep drawing big scribbles then erasing them in order to save the dots. Its also a little glitchy.

by Famøusjammer

This is a great app but I think it could use a few more tools, such a as a lasso tool that most animation apps have and to be able to drop what you lassoed into another frame.
Also, to be able to highlight a bit of animation over the course of a few frames and drop it into another one. The fill bucket could be a whole lot better. Less lag would be nice as well.
A small thing to add is a color mixer, it makes things look better.
To zoom in with frames. Here's an example, if you're animating a person and you want to zoom in on the face you won't have to redraw the person until the frames get close to the face. You could have each frame zoom in a little bit until it's zoomed in enough.
Stabilizer, PicsartAnimator needs one. it would make animations look so much smoother and look better. A stabilizer is so important to making a good animation app.
And lastly a feature that you could turn on that would let you draw in a previous frame and have it appear in the other frames. Like if you forgot to add something into your animation it would show up in the frames in front.
I hope that my ideas can be added to such a great app like PicsArt Animator.

I love photography and animation and stop motion. A bunch of the bad reviews on here are from people who don’t have patience for animation, but this is how animation is. It’s a long and hard process.

This is a good animation platform but there are some flaws. You can’t delete the examples that you start out with when you first open PicsartAnimator . Also, when I post an animation on PicsArt, it glitches for about 10 seconds and only shows three of my frames before it shows the whole animation. This is annoying because it causes viewers to be confused and not vote/like. Please fix these!

Honestly it's really good most apps for animation is bad but this one is pretty good but I think you should add bucket tool and a feature to zoom in that's really it (sorry if they already have these options)

by Theultimatgamer

I love the overall app but when I try to publish it after adjusting frame rate it will crash suddenly... this bug is very new... I’m able to see and edit my project, but when I try to publish it will crash no matter how many Times I try it... please fix this. It would be a HUGE letdown if I had to switch to another app
