Easy Studio - Animate with Shapes!
© 2013 Edoki Academy
Note that Edoki was formerly called Les Trois Elles Interactive. Ideal for creating a setting where a child can discover the magic of animated images, this app combines a simple touch and drag interface with the animation tools and a nice tutorial; plus sets of objects that can be dragged and dropped into place on the screen. A camera icon lets you capture each frame, one at a time. It is easy to tweak and adjust your project, preview and share if you like. There are two modes: Easy and Expert. Strengths include a clear tutorial and the ability to easily scale, rotate or group objects -- features typically found in larger programs. We noticed that in the easy mode, the shapes don't always easily lock into place. Also there is no sound import ability or the ability to freely sketch. All in all, this is an excellent tool for getting children started with animation. The app contains no in-app purchases, advertising, links to social networks or personal data requests.
