This app has been wonderful to use. The number of tools you have at your disposal, the ability to make groups and layers, and the ease of access make this seem like something you’d need to pay for in order to use to its full potential, but that couldn’t be more untrue. The little bar at the bottom for ads is so non-intrusive, and it isn’t constantly pestering you to give the app your money. Instead, sitting neatly among the list of settings is a simple “in-app purchases” tab, and the only thing it has is remove ads for $4.99. Although that may sound like a ton to just remove ads, it’s better to see this as a way to support the developer of this amazing app. Even if you don’t purchase this, the ads are relegated to the bottom of the screen, so the whole experience remains uninterrupted (unless you accidentally tap the banner). This is by far the best free app I have ever seen on the App Store, ever.

Whenever I look at other apps they have “pixel art” freedom. It doesn’t allow you to save it in a higher resolution. With this app I feel like I create create a lot of cool different things. :) Now I’m just waiting for the version where I can do 1024 x 1024 pixels. 😝✌️ lol. (i’d also like to add that I do also use “Pixelable” when I’m creating my arts which is awesome made by the same creator.)

Being that exists.
I got this app a few days ago and had been really liking it as it was easy and incredibly intuitive to use, but today I made the mistake of trying to rename one of the files I had created. For whatever reason, this locked me out of being able to further open and edit my art. By trying to rename the file it created a folder on my iPad which it then placed the file in, and then renamed the file to “cover”? I don’t understand why this happened or how to undo it, and I’m upset by this because I really don’t want to lose access to my art.Aside from this the app has been working well.

I love the app wonderful and great for coloring and drawing but hold up…. 👀 seriously, whenever I save/ export a drawing to my camera roll it’s all blurry and weird, and I compare it to my other photos/screenshots and it looks 5 times worse! It’s not a super big problem because I can always screenshot but I prefer saving it.

Developer Response
I can decide the resolution with the slider when exporting, but isn't the slider at the far left?As the slider moves to the right, the resolution increases, so if you save it at the far right, it will not be blurred.

- Implemented a tool sorting function on the settings screen.
