Create storyboards, animations and visual content.

What do you like best?

It's not a difficult app to master, by all means. It took me maybe 3-4 hours to figure out what's what and play around. I actually really like the storyboarding feature since you're able to use it for not just animation, but other kinds of visual content, including video.

What do you dislike?

The app can be a bit slow from time to time, and it has crashed on me a couple of times as well, so make sure to save your project often.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

If you're completely new to animation, this is a good place to start practicing because you get all the basic tools that you need to master, so if you're ever interested in pursuing it more seriously, there's room for advancement with this app.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

This application helps me to create unique content in a short amount of time - whether it's a storyboard, or a short animation or something more extensive, Animation Desk is a fun app for animation beginners.
