No updates, especially to resolve Python incompatibility
The developer has not updated this app in a long time. Every time I have updated the MacOS for the past few months I get an error message that Cartoon Animator Pipeline Python is not compatible with the MacOS versions that I have updated to. The developer must have known about this for months, but did not take any action to resolve this issue.
United StatesUnintuitive - which can be crappyu
One has to know what to do when creating new character gestures so that they work properly and do not interfere with speech of the character -- something that is not intuitive or easily figured out.
United StatesOnce-Great App - Gone to Crap
It used to be a joy to animate with this application. But now it has gotten to the point that the wonky bugs are just too much --- and I can't even find a way to work around them. And now that it has even gotten to the point that I can't have my character speak and do body motions at the same time, that is just the last straw. Shame on these developers for not doing better upkeep of their product. I give it two stars (one beyond the minimum) because I can still use it to create animated backgrounds --- but considering the $$$ that I spent on it (and what it is advertised to do) I should expect much more.

United StatesVery nice program
I am a newbie, but I was up and doing complex animation after doing a couple of their tutorials. This has lots of features and is fairly easy to use. The pipeline is better if you want to use Adobe or Affinity, and make your own characters
United StatesPowerful and Focused
The software allows for a digital production technique that makes creating animated content a breeze. I've been animating for 45 years and the productivity possible with this software is amazing.
United StatesUpdated, Added Dark Mode
updated review, added dark mode, fixed some bugs, get this!
