    Flickmation lets you create animations (flickbooks/flipbooks) on your iPhone or iPod Touch.
    You draw each frame and then play through the frames, bringing your creation to life.

    Flickmation has the features to help you make your animations.

    • Onion skinning - shows a fade version of other frames, helping you draw smooth animation sequences.
    • Layers - have up to four layers which can be animated (changing each frame) or fixed (the content is the same for all frames). The high layers overlay the lower one. Layers make it easy to add a background or create complex interactions with parts of the animation passing in front or behind other parts.
    • Copy and Paste – mark and copy a section of one frame and then it can easily be reused. Animations can quickly and easily be constructed be pasting the section into other frames. You can even turn the the copied section into a stamp to be kept more permanently and used in other animations you create.
    • Stamps – import photos and pictures from your iPhone or computer and then use them within your animations.
    • Drawing tools – Flickmation includes a number of drawing tools. Draw freehand, trace out filled shapes and draw straight lines, rectangles and ellipses.
    • Undo and redo your drawing and paste actions.

    When connected to a WiFi network you can copy your animations and stamps to and from your computer. FlickmationHelper, a Java application for your computer, makes this simple and easy to do.

    FlickmationLite, which is free, is similar to Flickmation but you can only create one animation at a time and it can be only 12 frames long. You can only have four stamps available at once and flickbooks cannot not be upload from your computer.

    You can find more information at the Flickmation website.

    Flickmation App Store link

    FlickmationLite App Store link

    If you use a code an iTunes review and rating would be most appreciated

    Enjoy Flickmation and FlickmationLite.

    can you add a faded pic of the previous pic? I mean, eg: the first pic is faded in the second, the second in the third and so on. the faded one will be invisible in the finished animation.

    I miss this really in that app :)

    If you mean onion skinning, then yes you can do it. Touch and hold a frame on the film strip at the bottom to display the onion skinning and keyframe controls (Flickmation website has more information).

    Got PWL9NFWMFWKR. I'll post impressions later after homework and stuff.

    Edit: so far it's not bad, but not the cleanest I've seen in the app store. Mainly the layout isn't user friendly. The buttons are small and I tend to misclick things on accident. There is definitely a lot to do, but seems clustered. Other flipbook apps allow me to make stuff way faster. Flickmation has potential, but right now it seems to be lacking.
