Animation Desk is an iOS application that recently was chosen as one of the best apps in the Entertainment Category of App Store Rewind 2011. The app is sized at nearly 45 MB and compatible with iPod Touch, iPad, and iPhone running iOS version 4.0 or later. The app basically lets you create appealing animations with your fingers. You can magnify the canvas to control the details of your animations. The app offers a very professional-looking approach to creating animations as you can edit each frame individually on a specially designed animation desk.
