New and Noteworthy Video Tutorials
From founder, Justin Dike…
A little over a year ago we began offering an all-access subscription option. This was a huge change for us, considering we’ve been around since 2004, selling tutorials one at a time. Our new model really isn’t about getting you to watch 2000-plus videos.  Every subscription site is obliged to post big numbers but let’s be real, no one has that much time to watch 600 or 700 hundred hours of training.
Our goal is for you to hone in on the time you do have, and at one great price. Pick and choose from anything you want to watch, and if you are an app developer, don’t lose sight of the end goal: actually releasing an app. This is why our iOS and tvOS Starter Kits are so important. Every one should learn some programming, but we understand people hit walls or they just can’t find the time to learn enough. So by giving our Yearly Subscribers code-polished kits to quickly add art to, we think you’re getting the best of both worlds. Training when you want it, speedy production when you need it.
Real Testimonials…
Fair warning: if you write us a gushing email, it might just end up below. And if you have in the past and don’t see it below, its only because we have around 30,000 emails in the archives (seriously). But feel free to write a new testimonial!
- I just renewed my subscription - you helped me a couple weeks ago. Thank you so much and I'm looking forward to another great year of learning from you!Teddi
- I wasn't sure if this site was just another Udemy ripoff, then i read a bit and realized they ripped off u, lol. I like the part about your site being older than youtube, thats crazy. old school, ok you guys are making the best tutorials. Signed up!Damon
- I see you have the latest version of STK 2 out - that's great.  Have been following along this week. I am amazed at your productivity and skill - amazing.Iain
- How come Apple hasn't just bought this site yet?? You guys explain things way better than they do. And for $99 a year Apple only gives you one support ticket.  Justin (if it was him) has already answered way more of my technical questions. Anyway, just wanted to say thanks, great product and support!Lars
- I cut my animation teeth on your old Cartoon Smart flash tutorials. Â Bring back the wizard tutorial!Brett
- Again I really appreciate the time you took to read my questions and reply back to me, I don't know of many other places where they don't just use a cookie cutter reply template. If the tutorials weren't already ridiculously affordable, the genuine customer service alone would be enough for me to buy several of your great resources.Steven
- Thanks again for always answering my questions and giving me your time, from getting me up and running on the site to answering emails super quick.... So I wanted to give you kudos. I bought the yearly subscription (vs the monthly) mainly cause the platformer kit looked really cool. So it was nice not to be disappointed, as I'm honestly not that wealthy, as good as the value is. It takes a great mind to make code that's this organized and readable.....I know, as for instance , I recently downloaded a Flappy Bird Xcode project and honestly it was pretty messy. It'd take me a while to understand just what the heck is going on and that's Flappy Bird; The simplest iOS game I think you could make.Corey
- Thanks as always for the quick responses. Â The new videos are also a great help!Ariel
- Thank Justin I was surprised to see response from you. I figured you and your cats are on some Island oasis retired. Your site has blown up so much! Thanks for getting back to me on this. I am a old time learner of your great flash tutorials back in the day over 8 years ago.Will
- I downloaded your kit this morning and I already feel like I'm into the swing of things. I think I can meet my self imposed deadline at the end if the month. Fingers crossed!Kim
- Thanks CartoonSmart! I really appreciate it, (and the quick response). It's awesome how quickly you keep your products updated and relevant. You do good work!Nick
- My 9 year old and I have been going over your iOS tutorials every night recently, just wanted to say we are both really enjoying them. I think he's figured out even more than I have.John
- I just want to lick the CartoonSmart logo. Am I the only one thats told you that???? 👅Pei-Chen
- Absolutely loving the site. I signed up for the 2d art and animation tutorials (took the plunge and went yearly) and now I'm seriously thinking about getting into app development. Very excited.Amid
- I love your stuff man, you got me into web design years ago when i was in Iraq and its how i support myself now, making a good living. YOU opened that door with your great tutorials. Thank you.DougTwitter.com/DangerDuggy
- The app is going well, thanks to you and the Cartoon Smart team. I am very excited for it to get out into the world.Marie
