Best experience, and more than just the app
The app itself is brand new and has many flaws. But the art is amazing, and you can make the coolest things if you just put 2 hrs into a beautiful piece of art. But there’s also a twitter page for the app (@NewPixelsApp) that really makes it stand out, you can have casual chats with the creator, participate and weekly challenges, and try to get your artwork featured on Twitter! There’s so much more to this app then meets the eye, so find your art and other’s art and express yourself!Show lessDoubleDDude9434
Cute
You can pretty much create anything you want with this app once you figure out everything. Cute and funSairahdavis
A great app even with some drawbacks
The tools given to make these pixel art drawings are very easy to use. Not only easy, but fun too.
There are only two drawbacks I’ve run into
1) Color Combos
There just simply aren’t all the color combos needed. I had made a character that had an orange at with a yellow background. I either had to keep the hat as blocks or change the background. It’s never fun to compromise like this when creating.
2) Image Quality
When saving images, the pixel art turns a bit fuzzy. It seems odd, considering that these designs look great and clean, then when saved the colors have some jpeg artifacts in it.
Even with these drawbacks, this app is great. Once there is an update or two, this app is a must have.
(Edited, I didn’t see that there is a save function I see that now)Show lessManCashew

Hey, it's been a while, we updated the color combo features, would you like to try it out? Thanks!It’s nice
It’s kind of cool I guess and anyone can make a drawing yaeric_robert
Cool App
Really enjoy playing around with this app. Very relaxing. They do need to add more shapes and color combos however. I would pay $1.99 for that.Babettique
Fun and relaxing
I’ve been enjoy this app after seeing it recommended by the Washington Post. The art is fun and the shape limitations force you to get creative. Only downsides: 1) missing color combinations are frustrating, especially for some of the more vibrant shades, and 2) to use the gallery you have to give a gender (why?), and it only accepts “male” or “female”. I do not want to give a gender and there’s no reason for it to ask. Overall this is really fun and I recommend it!Show lesspero^2

Creative and fun, but flawed
New pixels is (sort of?) a pixel art app that lets you create just that, pixel art. Or ‘new pixel’ art, as this app lends a variety of different shaped pixels for you to use. To that extent, it’s a fairly regular artistic app, but with an appealing toolset and color palette.
So all in all, the program/app is good, but as of now it’s flawed. There are color combos missing (example: any light purples with any light blues on some mixed pixels) and seems like it could do with something to lock a color/pixel in so you don’t have to continuously tap white just to put three white pixels next to each other. That said, I do think the app requiring you to do that actually works well as it encourages you to keep your picture simple. It more depends on what the developer is going for I suppose, but it would ultimately be more convenient were you able to do this.
On that note of convenience, the color selector is rather tedious too, as you can scroll through once or twice and completely miss the color combinations you’re looking for (some of which, again, are actually missing) and might it work better if it were some sort of grid that let you choose a primary and secondary color.
The app is nice! It’s a good creative outlet. But I just feel as though there are some rough edges (especially the missing color combos!) that could be worked on.Show lessGeoffrey A

Hi Geoffrey, we've made significant improvements on the color combos. Would you check the latest version to try out? Thanks!
