How do I become able to add a ground smash in my animation… It keeps saying the node is not valid…
I’m on Android
You must not have the latest version of the app, update to 1.6.3 and then try again.
I want to download stick figures but they don’t show up in the import section or the library and I only downloaded the app three days ago so I’m updated… what do I do?
Did you check the FAQ section about downloading stickfigures?
How do you save your animation onto your camera roll (iOS)
When you export the animation as GIF or MP4, check the Photos app, it will be there.
All I have is the Picutere of the beggining of my animation Mr. Developer
When you export it? I assume as a GIF? I also assume on an Apple device?
Apple devices can’t play GIFs. The GIF file itself still works and is fine (if you send it to someone or upload it online, it will play) it’s just your device that can’t play it.
You can look for an app called “Gif Player” and download that, that will play any GIF files you have in your Photos.
Hey ralph how do i share my stickfigure i did but it says no applications
You need an email app set up on your device, as that’s how the submissions are sent.
Like what?
Well every device, Android or iOS, comes with a default “Mail” app. You probably have one, you just don’t have an account set up with it. Or you could go and download the Gmail app if you have a Gmail account if you prefer.
How do you add another person?
Hi bethany, under “Library Tools” click “Add stickfigure”. You can also import more stickfigures from there too.
Don’t mind me, just a 2016 comment coming through.
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡ °)
I did minded your comment.
:c
XD
Can you upload the videos to YouTube or not?
Yes, after you export the MP4 (Pro version only), just upload the video to Youtube.
If you have just the free version, you can either export a GIF and convert it to a video file with another app/program, or record the screen.
When is 1.7.0 coming out
It will come out when Ralph will publish it. 8)
Yeah, soon, sorry about the wait to everyone. These past days/weeks have been busier than usual so I haven’t been able to just sit down and finish this update. It’s very close to being done though.

No more excuses we know where you live and we are going to find you and get you noooow!
Unless 1.7.0 comes iut in one day :3
can I get the pro version for free plz….
Ralph: nope
Pretty much this.
To mark, how would that be fair to everyone else who purchased the app?
hi how do i post my animation on YouTube please help
Hi. Well, if you have the Pro version, just export the animation as an MP4 and upload that video (find it in your Photos app).
If you only have the Free version, you can export a GIF and then use another app or program to convert the GIF to video, and then upload that.
You can also always just record your screen with a screen recorder app and upload that.
