8bit Painter 4+

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!

I’ve been using this application since 2019 to make draft retro characters on the go that I later animate in Aseprite on pc.

Pros

Simplicity
Anyone can pick up this app and start making Pixel Art and not get caught up in the pitfalls of canvas size or color palettes. They have a few of the most common canvas sizes that give you access to the ability to make a variety of varying detailed work. Their are no complicated UI or Tools to learn and no tutorial needed and for this I commend you!

Cons

You will waste A LOT of time watching ads!
Literally the only benefit to purchasing their upgrade is 120 free canvas. (12 minutes off of total ads to fill canvases) Even if you upgrade you still have to watch a 30 second ad to add 5 canvases to a max of 480 at the moment, and you still have to watch an ad to export canvases. This means if you fill all your canvas your gonna spend over half an hour solving poorly design puzzles.

In my opinion this is how they earn the majority of their money so they are unlikely to bring future benefits to people who purchase the upgrade in the form of unlimited canvases, but pray to the gods of the dev team non the less.

I personally regret purchasing the upgrade because it literally provides almost no benefit. Because of this I cannot in good conscious get this app a five star rating yet…

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.
