This app is so good!!!!!!!!

The reason I’m saying this app is so good, fun, and entertaining is because, you can paint with different pixels, TONS of options and you can import the image and kaboom! The image is in the pixel art create board. I want to say that can you make a function that can duplicate the image to another space, thank you.Also this is very cool, the designs are very basic but i don’t know why is there a ad-receiver. It’s very uh.. I can say strange because ppl don’t really like to watch ads. And because of this amazing and wonderful app i am very creative at art now! My drawing skills have improved a lot through the weeks, thanks to this app! my mom thinks I'm a good drawer too. I have been drawing some basic stuff, I believe I will draw better and better in the future.I will soon be a pixel art master, I’m so happy!!!!!!!! Also I’ll rate this app 5 stars!

Excellent App, Only a Few Critiques

I’ve been wanting to get into pixel art for a long time, so I went looking for a decent app. After trying out many, this one definitely took the cake with its many features. The zoom/move option usually is fluid and easily accessible. Although it’d be nice to have a crop option, there being various sizes to choose from is pretty cool. Also, being able to duplicate your projects is awesome. I’d kinda want to be able to name my canvases, but that’s a minor complaint. I’m not really used to writing reviews, but this app outshined all the others so much that I felt inclined to.

I don’t mind the ads because they’re optional. It just exists for extra space for more projects, and it allows the creators to make a little more revenue.No, I just have a couple issues with the handling.It makes sense that you draw with one finger, adjust the screen with two. But it doesn’t work perfectly in practice. That could be solved by simply making a different button, one that switches between “draw mode” and “move mode”. I’m scared that I’ll end up making a big streak in the center of my work, and even though there’s an undo button, it’s not a nice feeling to have.Also, I don’t know how to delete all the example art. Or any of the tests that I did when I first got this.Again, other than that, it’s perfect!

Best budget-friendly ios app for pixel art

I’ve tried a handful of free pixel art apps on the App Store and this one is by far my favorite!!!! From what I can tell this is *not* an app for animating sprites, so if you’re looking for that this might not be for you. HOWEVER It has everything I personally need for simple artwork like grid and transparency settings, a custom color palette creator, a drawing tool that works great with Apple Pencil, and more! Super easy to use with simple UI design- I liked it so much that I bought the add free version 😎
