Adding animations to your Flutter app

Incorporating animations into mobile apps, particularly using Flutter, significantly enhances user experience by making apps feel more intuitive and engaging, thereby reducing churn rates and increasing user interaction. The text delves into two primary categories of animations—code-based and drawing-based—with a focus on how Flutter developers can implement these through implicit and explicit animations. Implicit animations, which are easier to implement, allow for simple value changes in widgets, while explicit animations offer greater control and flexibility for complex interactions. Additionally, the text guides developers in using Rive, a framework for creating drawing-based animations, and how to integrate them into Flutter apps. The guide emphasizes the importance of choosing the right animation type for project needs and provides practical examples to illustrate the implementation process, ultimately aiming to enhance the overall app experience through thoughtful animation design.
