A new way to create hand-drawn animation. So playful you’ll think it’s a toy, but it's secretly a robust app with a reimagined UI for animators and creators. Taking inspiration from music creation tools, using Looom feels more like playing an instrument than operating software - exploring lines, shapes and colors through loopable time and rhythm. Looom is all about looping animation with a smile. It was designed for professionals and beginners of any age and is already being used by some influential indie animators. A delightful environment to learn, experiment, practice and create drawn animation. Wonderfully musical, Next-gen dynamic non-destructive workflow. FLUID TIME No first frame or last. Looom’s threads are independent in length and speed, always tweak-able. INFINITE CANVAS Lets you go as deep or as far as you want thanks to a completely resolution-independent vector engine. OPEN-ENDED Looom uses SVG as it’s native file format. Your work can be viewed in browsers and opened in desktop animation software.
Potential
The mechanics of the app are a little unique, in a good way. But are not sensitive or accurate enough, it makes it frustrating trying to turn pages when it goes the wrong way every time. Itll flip through all the frames in the wrong direction no matter which way i swipe or where im swiping at. I wish there were more settings as well like being able to double tap your apple pen to switch to the eraser. Or being able to change pen size of just your pen and not the size of the lines youve already drawn entirely. I see a lot of potential in this app but it definitely needs some tweaking, im not sure how new it is either so ill give it that. Also please add layers 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
So good
Unbelievably unique.
Thank You So Much
I had already enjoyed, Looom, a whole bunch on my iPad. Even if it is a little tough to get acclimated to in my opinion. But, I have to say that there is such a dearth of quality and competent animation applications available for the iPhone. Well, I just cannot tell you how grateful and happy I am that you made this program Universal. Thank you so much. While I use both my iPad and iPhone a whole bunch. I find that I’m on my iPhone a lot more and it’s a lot easier, size-wise, to handle when working on something as intensive as creating animations. So, I look forward to trying to learn this great animation application a lot better now that it is on my iPhone as well. I’m so excited! I was having a very cruddy day thus far and seeing that, Looom, is now Universal has really made my day so much better. Again, I want to extend my sincere gratitude for not only making this wonderful program on the iPhone as well now. But also just for all of the hard work, time and passion that you no doubt put into building and maintaining this superb app. Thanks for all of the above and God bless. P.S. If you’re wanting a powerful and fun animation application I would say that, Looom, is very much worth the asking price and I highly recommend it to animation newcomers and pros alike 👍🏻.
Good, but I wish it could download
Love the way it animates but I want to download it and upload it but there’s no feature that does that.
Still loooove this tool!
I love all the feature updates that have been added like images and auto frames. The only thing I would love to see is a frame photo export, so you can export the individual frames as images! This would speed up my workflow a lot vs having to screenshot each frame. Thanks for making such an innovative and intuitive tool!
Overrated and expensive junk!!!
Can’t believe this piece of junk is so highly recommended! Can I re-arrange the order of frames? No. Is it easy to operate the controls without accidentally making unintended markings on the page? Hah! No way! Can I onion-skin forward as well as background to do decent in-between frames (a necessity if you want to do animation right)? Well - if there is a way to do that, I sure couldn’t find it. Just save your money - don’t buy this crap —- and shame on whoever gave it good reviews.
Fun
Are you going to create your next masterpiece in this app? No. It lacks quite a bit … but what evokes is joy. It’s fun to animate in this and that means the world to me! Solid! Wish it had an easier way to export.
