okay, i would like to start off by saying this is an AMAZING app. it works very well, has tons of options to help make things easier such as the gradient tool, and it doesn’t make you watch an ad for every button you press (cough literally every other pixel art app i’ve downloaded), which makes it basically perfect. there is one thing i would like for you to add, though. a feature where you can select a sort of mirror tool so that you can make perfectly symmetrical art much easier. like if you draw one one side it does it on the other too, and make it a bunch of different options like side to side or top to bottom or diagonal maybe? the one i would request the most though is the side to side one. i know there’s a mirror option where you can select the area and then mirror it but i wish i could see it as i’m drawing ya know? actually make it two things you could add. the other thing that would be nice to add would be a feature where your drawing instantly gets put in the center of the canvas. that’s pretty much it, otherwise this app is very good and easy to get the hang of. that’s all :)

Pixel studio is, overall, a very competent program, especially for being free. The amount of ads within the app aren’t egregious, though sometimes annoying when I trigger them by accident. I really love the simplicity of the features, although figuring what they do and memorizing them can be a little confusing at first, so maybe a small help button in the corner could do the trick, or there could be an overview slideshow available to watch in the tab menu. This is just a personal preference, but I feel that the addition of gesture controls would be appreciated, even the simple two finger tap to undo, three finger tap to redo would be nice. I also feel that the addition of color pallets, either that can be imported or just created by the artist while drawing would be nice, so the color menu won’t get too cluttered with random colors. I also kind of wish that you could zoom in and turn the piece as well, like with other art programs such as procreate or ibis paint. Lastly, i feel that the addition of blending modes would be amazing as well, since I could not find them as far as I looked. Aside from the features I have mentioned, pixel studio is a fantastic app for starting your journey in pixel art. Thank you for reading!

I’m going to be really honest, this is probably my first ever review on anything really.This app is my first time picking up an app to animate and make sprite sheets, and pixel animations for fun, and it genuinely works pretty great, I mean it’s pretty simple, in terms of not being super complex, it’s nice and comfortable, allows you to do a whole bunch of things like use separate layers for animating so you can have a background and not have it mess with your character or creature, it also allows for easily saving whatever you make to whatever format you need, I haven’t run into any issues yet, besides maybe accidentally linking my animation and having to re-do all of the frames 😔 but that was my fault, and I’m sure there is ways to undo or something, anyways, this has drawn out now, if you’re still reading for whatever reason, I hope you give this app a try and create whatever it is you’ve been meaning to create, all of your what ifs. That’s how it all starts, you’ve got this! I believe in you, anyways have a great day/night, and take care ☀️🌙

This app has completely changed the way that I work. I am a retro streamer and I have ADD, which makes it hard for me to work in the same spot all day. I have made a dozen emotes since downloading this app last week, all from the comfort of my living room and bed. Before it would take me hours to make one emote because I just couldn’t focus sitting at my computer. Purchasing this was a no-brainer for me after realizing how much it has impacted my life since downloading it. And now I can make banner art with the upgraded canvas size! One thing the app is missing, in my opinion, is the ability to put an actual image on a layer. I like taking pictures and drawing over them to create a pixel art version of my photo, and I wish I could do that in this app. I also wish it was a little easier to save files. After I save the first time, the app doesn’t keep that as the name the next time I go to save and I have to type the file name in all over again. Other than those two points, I honestly wouldn’t change a thing.
