Just Get The Version That Costs...

While StickNodes is very fun and entertaining, it has it’s negative points. I know that there is a “pro” version, and the only reason I am not going to get it is because it’s not free. I never pay for an app. Never. Because I do not consider any app worth even a dollar. What is the point of putting out a free version of one app, with a separate app that costs? Anyway, StickNodes is not east to control. For some, yes it takes a while. But I’ve been playing this game for almost two weeks, and I haven’t gotten a good grip on the controls yet. It’s difficult to get to the menu, especially when one of my stick figures are right in front of the tool bar. I also think that it could use a few more default figures. Maybe some furniture. Or even a few regular people. More than just stick figure girl and stick figure boy. It is really difficult to make people. I am not trying to complain to the developers, I just think that you should put more consideration into this version of StickNodes , than you do when you try to advertise for the one that costs. Other than that, I see potential in this game. It is especially entertaining to watch the stick figures move in your ending result. In conclusion, I give this game three stars.

It’s a great app, but..

For some reason, one day when I was using it, the little menu to flip and resize it just disappeared on every stick figure. I tried to like reset my settings and stuff, but it still wouldn’t come back. It’s basically unusable now because one stick figure just be way bigger than the other and I can’t rotate them either so it just looks awkward. This could be something on my part, but I don’t know how to fix it besides uninstalling it. So I did. I uninstalled everything. And guess what still could not rotated or fix the size. It looks so stiff and weird now that you can’t really rotate it. This happened during the middle of a project. I was working on in StickNodes too, so I had to delete all of it. just for it to not work when I reinstalled it please fix this because this is a really nice app and I want to keep using it.

Amazing app and easy to handle

StickNodes is amazing, and is easy to learn controls, but a lot of stickfigures face one problem, they mostly always have one ANGLE. A lot of animators use different angles, and every stick figure of something look different than others, making it look weird as they change looks. And I have made a idea that I will have as feedback, being able to change angle as a setting! I know, it will take lots and LOTS of programming to make it possible, but it will be worth it! Also, I don’t want this to be in this app pro. I find that would be unfair for others starting out, I know people will have to learn how to use it, but we always have to learn something new! Thanks for reading this.

Nice app but one bug

Please fix the background transparency for creating sprites. I KNOW that some of my pictures are definitely transparent but the background is still white. I deleted StickNodes and got it again to see if it worked but it did not. Please fix this entirely. Also sometimes my sprites appear blurry without anti whatever so please make sprites HIGHER quality. ALSO PLEASE have an option to get photos from the photos app OR THE FILES APP when creating sprites. And please add a coloring sprites option and make an option with the coloring pixel or normal. And a size option for the color paintbrush. Finally, please add an option where you can select images while creating a sprite so you can get stuff done quicker. This will help me and others a ton. Please PLEASE add it.

Really good mobile animation app

Developer plz read this review to the end I have had a really great experience with stick nodes and have been using it for a while. It it an easy to use mobile animation app with no extra air pens or special phone or iPad attachments needed. However there are a few problems I have noticed the main one that is upsetting is after I create a character or item and exit the project when I go back in to the animation it is not in the import menu. Something that StickNodes could use is the ability to copy an item/character from one animation and paste it in another. This would also help with the import menu issue. Other than this StickNodes is very much worth it. Also if the developer is reading this review I saw the bug fixes in the next update and I would like to know the release date thanks.

WOW NICE BETTER THAN FLIPA CLIP

Omg, I’m so glad I found this animating app! It basically does all the drawing work for us and all we have to do is move a couple segments around! I highly doubt there will be any hate on StickNodes! I hope really famous content creators make videos on StickNodes! Keep up the good work. (Advise: you guys should make sound effects free, it’s rlly upsetting to have to pay for it) Edit: I would also reconsider adding some characters that we could use, such as “Saitama” or “Gojo” if these characters already exist, then here may be the following problems #1 pro: if you need pro for these characters, I gently ask if u may make them for free, and put it on the free app. #2 download: if we have to download it on either StickNodes Store, or the website, please make it for StickNodes , I don’t need extra things on my PC and I don’t want to spam it… #3 we have to create it on our own: if we have to make the characters on our own, then please give us a tutorial video on StickNodes !

Truly the best of the best.

So before I used stick nodes I used an app called dc2 on my old tablet. But it relied on drawing to make limbs, so if I wanted to make a stick figure it would be all wobbly and weird. But thanks to the ability to make things out of geometry it looks way better than before. One cool thing that dc2 did have is the inverse kinematics option, which was cool but not useful to me. And the final thing that I love about StickNodes is that you can still do awesome things even though you didn't pay for pro, in dc2 you were restricted to only 2 or 3 different models, I haven't played the game in 2 years so I forgot how many saves were allowed.

THIS IS THE BEST ANIMATION GAME EVER!!

I first got it like 2 days ago from rn and it was pretty fun but I wasn’t too exited about it. And then I should my friend tye animation he’s like “How did you make that!?” I was like I’ll send you the link. And then when he downloaded it he was like “okay so how do I do this?” I should him the basics and he kept improving. And I started improving too. So we would FaceTime and we would also share screen to show each other are animations and stuff and he really liked mine. And me and him stayed up till 4am just to animate and it’s was VERY worth it. He’s like this is so easy I’m like yeah I know that’s why I made you download it. And now it’s like my favorite thing on my iPad.

Most intuitive stick figure animator that I know of.

Let’s say you’re interested in animating stickfigures. (Which you obviously are, you’re reading a review on a stick figure exclusive animator. ) Get this goddang app. I’ve been animating stickfigures punching one another at high speeds on-and-off-again for a couple years now, and it’s been pretty fun as well as a phenomenal learning experience. As for the pro version, I can’t attest to it’s quality as I haven’t bought it, (though I am considering it) but I’m sure it’s worth it as the sound, filters, and other notable features seem worth literally THREE DOLLARS. Anyways, that’s all I’ve to say about this swag app, have a nice day.

P.S. The demon is real. I’ve seen it.

Stop motion ain’t got nothing on this app!

StickNodes has worked miracles for my animating hobby. Now I’m able to move to the next step of animating BECAUSE of stick nodes. StickNodes is super simple to use and the character templates and stuff are High quality as well. One problem: You need to manually save, and I know you can turn notifications to save off, but I’m paranoid that I will forget to save and screw everything up. I just think adding an auto-save every 5 minutes would be a great update. But other than that, everything runs super smoothly and it’s definitely not one of those “you gotta pay to pretty much use our app” kinda games. No animating platform is better than this one!

Amazing

Good animating app took like a little bit of a long time I started 2 years ago and i first started and I didn’t know how to use this so I watched tutorials this ball one it helped I deleted it when I first got it tho then I kept playing and playing and I was getting better I didn’t know how to make the Stickmans walk so I just made them slide then after a few days hour seconds minutes weeks months years idk I started using tweening then I started realizing it was slower so then I took it if now I use 18 fps not 10 but then when I used 18 fps a lot of times like Millions of times then I started using 10 cuz the animation was at the speed of light and my walks was to fast going at the speed of light so that’s my review on this animating app
( great game)

Best Animation App

I’ve been using StickNodes for years and it’s really fantastic. Basically, it’s an animation app that allows you to animate without needing to hand-draw every individual slide. You just make a stickfigure, add it to your project, and then adjust it’s limbs at the joints each frame. It sounds basic but StickNodes is super well made . When you open StickNodes it might look complicated at first, but it’s very intuitive and there are many tutorials online. There is also a Stick Nodes website dedicated to sharing ideas, asking for help, downloading user-created stickfigures, and much more.

Idk why StickNodes isn’t the top animation app on StickNodes store, probably cuz the developer never invested in an advertising campaign who knows, but it really is the best thing available right now. I would also recommend buying the pro version of StickNodes because it’s hardly any money, the value is great for what it gives.

Honestly tho i’m running out of things to say… get it, interact with the community, u can see when u open StickNodes that there’s a new stickfigure dude on the side every time. Those are all community members who like to animate and chat on the this app website.

plus there r some neat secrets u can find if u look jhard enough…. u probably won’t find them but just know that they’re there 👍

An amazing app

This is definitely peak animation software It’s simple Easy to use And makes good animations Of course that’s only my opinion And if you disagree I’m okay with that Everyone has a different opinion and view on things But if you like animation use this Remember an animation doesn’t have to be a masterpiece to be good It’s what you think of it that truly matters I respect the creators of StickNodes with all my heart and I’m proud of what they have achieved with creating StickNodes for us I hope this review helps you to get the best idea of StickNodes You guys are amazing Keep up the hard work Keep your chin up And believe in yourself no matter what Don’t make what other people say control your life Also remember to treat others with rightful respect If people are rude to you then just ignore them or walk away Remember violence is not the answer It’s the solution

This has been a life saver!

So I didn't actually see any adds on this game (not that I am mad but with the quality of this game you should have more adds for more to see) I actually found StickNodes from being told about it from a friend, and when I tell you that i love this game I found that one day I played it over 3hrs (that is an estimate idk for sure) but this game is great, there is so much to do and the controls are pretty easy to grasp, Overall this game has been a life changer I do have two questions though, #1 How do you post a stickfigure? StickNodes I not very clear in this. #2 Can you update the outline segment setting for the free version? I went to outline one of my stickfigures heads when I was editing and it didn't work :/ All in all things game is great an I highly recommend it for creative people and just people in general!!

Real good

This game is really good simple animation (am only 10 at the time of writing this). StickNodes is really good for making mini simple animations there’s no pay wall there only one you gotta pay if you want it a bit more which it only $2.99 that’s a really good price but that’s if you want a bit extra. Honestly I suggest if your a good at making animations use stuff from Project landfall made by Explosive Bullet I suggest if your new use his low detail then try his regular ones. Honestly Ralph has made my passion for animating stronger. Me and my friends use StickNodes to show each other how good we are and idea I just got pro to right now lol. If you read this Ralph keep up the good work! (I been hearing something called the Stick Nodes demon or something like that it’s says if you shake your screen a jump scare happens I just want to let everyone know that it is fake.)

I love this game but...

This game is so appealing to me and many others. The only things I ask for is #1. Instructions. I just got the free version of StickNodes but I have no idea how to do anything besides animate with the normal stickman. I know you have been getting alot of requests for this but this would change ALOT of what People can do. #2. Accounts. I don’t need one myself but I want to help others about this. Let’s say someone who has this game is getting a new electronic ( phone, tablet, etc.) how are they going to get their animations on that new electronic? An account. This game is so much fun and I think it would be better if you could add an account. #3. More stuff on the free version! I just think something is missing when I play. I think that having some filters on the free version would be nice to have. Some people can’t get the pro version so they can’t get any filters. But besides that, good job and keep doing what you are doing!

Perfection.

StickNodes is actual perfection, amazing for animating and all. If you’re into stickman animations, Stick Nodes is hands down one of the best tools out there. It’s incredibly user-friendly, making it easy for beginners to dive right in, yet robust enough for more advanced animators to create detailed and complex animations.

One of the standout features is the simplicity of the interface combined with powerful animation tools. You can create smooth, fluid animations thanks to the onion skinning feature and the ability to adjust the frame rate. The wide variety of customizable stick figures and the ability to import your own really opens up endless possibilities for creativity.

StickNodes also supports sound effects and MP4 export, which means you can create full-fledged animations right from your mobile device. Whether you’re making quick, fun clips or more elaborate projects, Stick Nodes has everything you need.

BEST ANIMATOR app EVERRRRRR

This is probably the BEST app. When I first discovered StickNodes I thought you had to draw the characters movement each frame. BUT NO. You actually get to control the movement without any accidents! StickNodes is so unique and creative because of how you could download backgrounds and stickmen/stickwomen. I really love StickNodes since now it’s WAY more easier to do fighting animations. For a single developer I’m REALLY impressed on how good StickNodes is. But here’s just ONE suggestion from me. I was thinking on maybe having a built in tutorial on how to animate different stuff since I had to learn how to make stick people walk with just me walking in real life and copying it into this app. So it took me some time for me to get somewhat decent on this app. I’m just hoping maybe you could add like a tutorial on how to animate walking, punching, kicking, eating, or even jumping. I’m just hoping this review will be good for Mr. Ralph

This is amazing

I played this game way more times and I just downloaded it yesterday. I already know how to do everything and you don’t have to draw a stick man. You can just import a random stick man. You can use it for a fighting scene a love scene or anything I love this game so much it brings myself. Into joy so much other people should also get this game because instead of drawing stuff, you can just move it like on FlipaClip. You have to draw a stick man to do a Stickman fighting animation or a different one you have to draw it. I love this game because you don’t have to do any of that. You can just put a background on. You can slap it a few characters if you want to and it’s amazing me and my brother has been playing this all day and I already for today have been playing for 42 minutes for right now I’m gonna be playing a way longer than that. I hope it gets to at least six hours because I love this game that much.

AMAZING ANIMATIONS, ENDLESS CREATIVITY

Now This is my first review, like ever. So if I make mistakes, well that’s the reason. Anyways this is the best mobile animation app we have so far, let me elaborate. The only other animation app on mobile is FlipaClip, and while it’s good it also is a long process, this on the other hand may take a long time to do animations, but it is a much shorter process then FlipaClip and it also guides you through the process. Have your opinion, if you like FlipaClip more you like FlipaClip more( I am mentioning FlipaClip a lot) but it is undeniable that this is an amazing animation game with a healthy active community. Hope this first review of mine is good by your standards.( ALSO THAT 3AM DEMON JUMPSCARE IS NIGHTMARE FUEL).
