the amount of ads is a little absurd. I know this is a free app so of course there will be ads, but it's just a little too much. having to watch an ad when you open the app, then having to watch another ad to open a project 5 seconds later, and having to watch an unskippable ad with 10-15 seconds of extra time to be able to click the X; I think this is a little much. other than that, great app

I've been an alight motion user since 2020, though I've always had one problem, lag. I've always wished that alight motion was officially available on other devices besides mobile (such as PC) since they give better quality and less lag issues. Since lagging isn't really fixable, helping develop alight motion for PC users as well can both improve the experience and expand the download and buys. I'm really looking forward to not just a PC version, but more of the exact app just allowed on PC.

very disappointed. I spent over half an hour trying to animate, and my work didn't save. I literally was happy for once about how hard I worked, and I loved how it came out, only to come back to see that it wasn't saved. very disappointing. fix the saving. when you're new, you also have to basically figure everything out on your own, and it's ultimately confusing. still upset about my hard work being wasted

too hard to use and there an ad every like.. 4 or less clicks. SO ANNOYING. i do NOT have a bank account for these dumb plans, and for the free plan, it is WAY too much LONG ANNOYING ads. to be honest. I HATE this app. I thought it would be cool to use and have but I don't even know how to put one of my images from my gallery in there. I saw this cool edit, and I wanted to do something like that. I tried looking, but ads just get in the way. I will fix my response if you fix your app.

I love animating with this app, but when I try to export a video, it gives me an add right? and the add always says to go to the app store to skip, and that's what I do, but it kicks me out of the app on alight motion and it says I haven't watched any adds so when I want to post a animation I have to watch like 12 adds instead of 4. It is soo anyonning PLEASE fix this 😭 Also I had to keep blocking adds so it wouldn't crash, but of course they still kept on showing up
