This app is great as a spriting tool; it's flexible and has lots of extremely useful features. I would rate it five stars if it weren't for three problems. 1) Sprites are nearly impossible to delete. When you think you've deleted a sprite, it pops up again after a while. 2) It crashes on older devices (I'm using a 4th gen iPod touch and get lots of crashing). 3) Recently, it hasn't been saving sprites. If I go to create a new sprite with the same name, it tells me that there is already a sprite with that name.

So this is just not meant for ios9 or the iPad pro I'm guessing? Huge shame because it was seems pretty awesome.If it could work for longer than 1 minute without crashing I'm sure I'd give it an okay score.
Good but buggy.

The sprite editor is very useful and I am happy with the animation tool. However, it crashes way to often for no reason. This is a very annoying bug and loses my progress frequently.
Wow, this program has been out for 15 years! Updated to work with modern iOS devices. Dropbox integration has been removed, as it has not been working for a long time. Sorry, but Flashpunk and Flixel have also been cut.
