This is why we wanted posing to be as intuitive and simple as possible with a bare minimum in menu diving and without losing complexity.\n\nA straightforward and intuitive design keeps all functionality close without drowning you in options. \n\nOur goal is to let you spend more time drawing and less time preparing.\n\n\nAPPLY ANIMATIONS\nEven for the most hardened artists it’s not easy to imagine how the body moves. In MANIKIN all animations can be viewed in detail. Use them to get faster to your desired stance or as use them as a figure study for motion.\n\n\nCAMERA & LIGHT\nWe also give full control over camera & light. Use 360 mode to work and use \"point of view mode\" to get the exact camera angle you had in mind.\n\nTo ease your shading needs you have up to 4 fully adjustable lights at your disposal to create dynamic drop shadows and realistic depth.\n\n\nSCREENSHOTS FOR DIGITAL PAINTERS\nMANIKIN also features cutout screenshots so you can immediately use them in Photoshop, Coreldraw, Procreate, Paper or whatever digital drawing software you use. No more hassle with editing screenshots.\n\n\nFEATURES\n* View character animations in detail.\n* A straightforward and intuitive design.\n* Various tools and effects such as outline, cut-out, grid, ...\n* Dynamic light with up to 4 fully adjustable lights \n* Freelook camera\n* Screenshots without background.\n* Share your creations on any platform and much more ...","facts":{"developer_id":1020666955,"developer_url":"https://manikin.app/","first_released":"2019-01-10T16:53:49Z","support_url":"https://manikin.app/help","privacy_url":"https://unsh.io/privacy-policy-legal/","website_url":"https://manikin.app/","app_version":"2.4.7","release_notes":"Fixed a new bug in restore purchase, restore should work now.","rating_current_version":4.5934,"rating_count_current_version":4422,"star_counts":[155,88,223,468,3488],"genres":["Utilities","Productivity"],"languages":["AR","HR","CS","DA","NL","EN","FI","FR","DE","EL","HE","HI","HU","ID","IT","JA","KO","MS","NB","PL","PT","RO","RU","ZH","SK","ES","SW","SV","TH","TR","UK","VI"],"content_advisories":null,"device_families":["iphone","ipad","ipod"],"made_for_iphone_duo":false,"chart":null},"freshness":{"apple_read_at":"2026-11-04T04:19:12.652Z","catalog_read_at":"2026-11-03T22:27:12.997Z","reviews_checked_at":null,"summary_written_at":"2026-11-04T02:27:12.474Z","placed_at":"2026-10-18T04:52:11.697Z","scored_at":"2026-11-04T06:32:13.140Z"},"editorial":{"one_liner":"A 3D posing tool for artists with figure models, animations, adjustable camera and up to 4 lights, for sketching.","what_is":"Manikin is a Utilities app for posing 3D figures and simple shapes as a reference for drawing.
