Animation Desk is a very intuitive app, but not sacrificing the features. It allows the users to export the animation "sequence" in the different formats, PDF sheet, video, GIF, Photoshop layers, and its native file format ad.package. It's a great tool for people who are interested to learn animation, or for professional film workers who like to sketch on the iPad or iPhone.

Awesome app for beginners and just to have fun within a family. Not so much suited for professionals.
