Kineo — Flipbook Animations23.4 - App Store

With Kineo, you can create stunning hand-drawn animations on your iPhone or iPad. Kineo’s flipbook-style drawing tools make it easy for you to create and share your animations with the world.

Kineo shows you faint reminders of the last few pages, making it easy to draw the next. When you’re done, you can share your creation on your favorite social networks; you can even use your very own animations as stickers in the Messages app!

While Kineo makes it easy to create basic animations, it definitely doesn’t stop there. Kineo’s great support for the Apple Pencil lets your creativity flow. Use multi-window mode on iPad to preview your animation as you draw it. Need to take your work on the go? Kineo syncs automatically over iCloud so you can take your animations with you, no matter what device you’ve got on hand.

Version History This version of Kineo fixes a rare crash when attempting to delete all of your existing animations. 23.4 07/12/2023 Kineo 23.3 adds animated GIF export—select it as a format in the "…" when sharing an animation!

This version also fixes an issue that could cause animations to not open on iPhone or when using side-by-side windows on iPad.

…that's a soft-G GIF, by the way. 23.3 05/13/2023 Turns out there's multiple meaning of the word "last"!

Kineo 23.2 fixes another crash, when you're deleting the last remaining page in a single-page animation. 23.2 03/26/2023 Kineo 23.1 squashes another obnoxious bug: if you were looking at the last page of an animation, and deleted it, the app would crash. 23.1 03/20/2023 Kineo 23.0 fixes a few obnoxious bugs:

- A crash would occur if you long-pressed the + button for adding a new page.
- It was impossible to export an animation on the first-ever launch of the app, after seeing or skipping the app tutorial.

New features are underway and should be appearing soon! Thank you for your patience. 23.0 03/14/2023 Kineo 22.3 fixes a few bugs with the gallery view, which shows all your animations:

- When long-pressing an animation, the preview had no background color or image, causing your animation to play over the rest of the gallery instead.
- When long-pressing an animation, there was a "Share" menu item that had no effect. This menu item now works.

This release also fixes a layout bug when running on some future versions of iOS. 22.3 08/24/2022 This new version of Kineo adds a new Kineo Pro feature: background images! Draw fun animations over your favorite photos—doodle on your pets, friends, family, and more!

This feature is available on both iOS and iPadOS and is free to all existing Kineo Pro users. 22.2 07/23/2022 Introducing Kineo Pro—powerful extra features for Kineo! Kineo Pro currently includes the following features:

- Zoom in on your animation! Zooming in allows you to have more control over fine details. The drawing tools stay at the same size when zooming in, letting you draw much smaller lines than previously possible. (Only on iPad.)

- Remove the “kineo.app” watermark that appears on shared videos. Want to focus your videos on the work you’ve created? Hide the Kineo advertisement that previously appeared on all exports.

Many more Pro features are planned very soon, and they’ll all be included in this one-time purchase!

This version also includes bug fixes for all users. This includes a common crash which would happen if you used the eraser and then immediately changed pages. Erasing should now be a much less treacherous act. :) 22.1 05/24/2022 This update gives you more power over your animation canvas! You can now select a different color for your animation background, such as a bright blue sky, yellow "sticky note", or black for a cool dark mode! Stickers in iMessage now include the canvas, so you can show off the colors you've chosen.

Kineo also now includes a quick guide for first-time users, to get you started drawing and animating quickly.

This release also fixes a few bugs:
- Scrolling the page strip should always have hidden the "previous pages" images. It now does so.
- In some circumstances, you could accidentally trigger the "welcome to Kineo" page multiple times. Now it will only ever appear once. 22.0 03/21/2022 Sharing your animations just got a big overhaul! Animations aren't tied to an ugly pointy square any more—you can now share them with the canvas you see in Kineo.

Kineo now also supports different video shapes. In addition to the existing square, there's now support for both horizontal and vertical videos, so your videos will look their best, no matter where you share them.

We've also made it easier to switch between looping and bouncing animations—switching between these is now just the tap of a button. 21.1 05/02/2021 This update tackles a few of the more commonly-requested features for Kineo. You can now delete, duplicate, and rearrange frames of your animation. 21.0 03/02/2021 Mostly this update is just to squash a few bugs that happen in the new release of iOS, but I also managed to sneak one small feature in there: when taking a screenshot of Kineo, cropping the screenshot will now nicely "snap" to the canvas, allowing you to perfectly align your image. 20.4 11/11/2020 Another small update this time.

- Even more undo fixes. I really think it works this time?
- Better preview when sharing animations.
- The thumbnails in the gallery now have more accurate colors. Make any change to an existing animation to "fix" the thumbnail.
- Fixed the current version number in settings; it now shows the correct version number instead of "20.0". 20.3 08/24/2020 This release is just a bit of spit and polish on everything.

- Fixed a few bugs related to undo.
- Fixed a bug where sometimes a new page would duplicate the previous page.
- Minor visual tweaks (buttons look button-ier) 20.2 07/07/2020 This new version of Kineo adds support for the new keyboard and cursor integration on iPad. You can now use a trackpad or mouse to select images, draw, and more!

This version also includes:
- Fixing a bug where undoing a drawing would not save
- Improvements to VoiceOver support for looping or bouncing an animation
- Minor user interface improvements 20.1 05/20/2020 Kineo is back! I figured a decade without an update was enough time to need more than just a minor update, so let’s do a full reboot! Brand-new features include:
- Multiple drawing tools
- iCloud syncing
- Video export and sharing
- iMessage sticker support 20.0 04/01/2020 Added iPad universal version. 1.3 04/01/2010 - Fixed bug where deleting all your flipbooks would leave you unable to create a new one.
- Fixed autosave bug where slider and "add page" button were unusable. 1.2.1 02/03/2010 - Added autosaving of animations if you quit or take a phone call while using Kineo. The animation you were working on before quitting will automatically open when you restart Kineo.

- Other bug fixes. 1.2 10/16/2009 - Fixed crash when editing, then not saving, existing animations. 1.1.1 08/10/2009 Improvements to the library:
- Edit button to more easily remove unwanted flipbooks
- Major speed bump to scrolling through flipbooks

Improved stability and speed throughout. 1.1 07/23/2009 1.0.5 06/30/2009 1.0.3 04/16/2009 1.0.2 08/21/2008 1.0.1 08/09/2008
