For years, the digital art world has been dominated by a duopoly: Procreate on the iPad and a fragmented ecosystem of apps on Android tablets. However, in the realm of frame-by-frame animation, a new champion has emerged recently, capturing the attention of professional animators and hobbyists alike: ToonSquid .

In this article, we will dissect the current status of ToonSquid for Android, explore the best alternatives if you cannot wait, and examine why the developer might (or might not) make the jump to Google’s OS. Before we dive into the Android rumors, let’s establish why ToonSquid is such a big deal. Developed by a solo coder named Steven (a former Apple engineer), ToonSquid launched as a direct competitor to Procreate Dreams and RoughAnimator.

As of mid-2025 (and historically since its release in 2022), ToonSquid remains strictly an app. You cannot download it from the Google Play Store. There is no official APK file. There is no beta test for Android.
