Rive Reviews

Reviewers mostly praise Rive for making interactive animation faster, lighter, and easier to ship than older tools, with several calling out smaller files, a smoother workflow, and an editor that even non-designers can pick up. Developers specifically like its state-machine approach, saying it works well with React; the maker of Tomosu says it made touch-responsive SwiftUI animations easy without much animation code. The only notable caveat is a learning curve, but sentiment is otherwise strongly positive.
