It is a very good software for creating key-framed graphics/animations - it's fairly simple to use with basic training (I am not an expert by any means)... The frame by frame control is great and again simple to understand if you've used other Adobe products. It's "great in a pinch", but there are better animation apps that exist today, that I should also mention are easier to use! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is limited and not necessary all the time... For example, I am able to solve a lot of the same animation tasks in Photoshop or AE or similar softwares and don't need Animation. It is not great at integrating with Apple and I use my MacBook/iPhone for all of my animation design work. A lot of platforms aren't accepting Flash (aka Animation) these days so it really isn't great for the future. I am considering dropping it completely for this reason. Also I work from a MacBook Pro and this program eats RAM and has crashed on me several times in the middle of a project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
