Did we miss something on diversity?

Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.

ASTONISHING!

This app is very underrated. People don’t realise how much you can do with one app. If there was a game scale from 1 to 10, I would put 10/10

The Best Story Telling App!

I think the review given to plotagon was very misleading, considering the age range is between 10 -100 kids and adults. It is an app to have fun, it sharpens your reading, your creativity, and is a lot of fun, made easy to use unlike, POW POWTOONS whatever it was called, and others out there. All the work is done, you just choose scenes, add characters and your story, no technical mumbo jumbo to deal with! In the past few years this company has grown and accomplished a lot! Hundreds if not thousands of new users from all over the world come to the app DAILY. They have a great community of people there too. Not to mention with having camera functions etc .. there is quite a bit of things you can learn how to do with this app. Plotagon also has "Plotagon Education" for Teachers and schools, to make learning more fun! Your not gonna have a professional movie from a 10 year old, so the writer of the review lol, really needs to think about the ages of a lot of the users and whether the user was just plotting for fun, or trying to make a serious animated movie, before saying "They lack skills" (That feels like a swat to the users!) based on 2 plots they watched. I hope my 10 year old never gets judged like that for being on an animation app trying to have fun! As I have 2 kids who are now on plotagon who used to be on POW, and say they like plotagon much better. They are learning, and having FUN, which is what a good app does. I simply find it hallarious that Commonsense would expect professional type movies from 10 year old kids in an animation app, and with some people who have never even done animation before. Does pow toons and the others have professional movies made by kids? Plotagon does have all it needs to make a top notch "Fun" animated movie", They have even had awards for their app! Common sense Dana, doesn't seem to realize how much easier plotagon is to use, than other like apps. I have been a user of plotagon for a 2 years and watched it grow and expand into a great app! Kids and adults alike are respectful of one another and give good feed back on plots. Dana? You REALLY missed the mark this time, with your poor rating. If this app was so bad, they would not be so popular. What a shame. I just say to people, check the app out! or let your kid check it out, and you will see them like it and stay! I hope this gets posted, because it is an honest review, from an actual user of plotagon!
