  • Poor Quality. Crashes, Transparency Wrong

    This is a very poor app. The Transparency leaves colours behinds, so it actually creates a grid, not a tranparency, making it impossible to craft sprites.

    Further, just creating a new document seems to crash the app. I think this is the first time I will have ever had to ask Apple for a Refund.
  • Crashes when creating a new document

    Using macOS Ventura the app crashes when creating new documents.
  • App crashes upon launch.

    When I attempt to launch the app on my Mac (OS is Monterey version 12.2.1) the app crashes less than a second after the sprite editor screen loads.

    I attempted to reach out to the developer through the email provided on the support page of their website, however the email apparently doesn't exist as my message was bounced back to me.

    I would really like to use this app as it seems like it could be extremely useful if it were to work, so I will happily change my review if a solution is brought to my attention.
    Thanks

  • Reported a bug and got it fixed within a week

    Read title. The guy who makes this is fairly responsive.

    Thanks for taking the time to write this review! Appreciate it.
  • good but there are some small issues

    It works well but there is no undo button, zooming in/out is weird and doesn't work with a mouse.
  • Almost the Best

    This sprite editor is phenomenal, but is missing some features that even free pixel art apps have. Here are some suggestions that I have.
    1. Resize canvas / art
    This is probably the most basic one. Just being able to resize the canvas would be great.
    2. Import photo
    Maybe be able to import a picture from inside the editor or something?
    3. Animation?
    I’ve seen two apps so far that support animation within the app. That is all.
    4. issue
    sprites won’t export as transparent

    That’s all I have. Other than these (especially number 1), this is a great app!

    Thanks for the feedback! For #4, sprites do export as transparent, maybe you are exporting to a 3rd-party app that doesn’t support transparency? Contact me via my website and we can discuss further. 😊
  • Great

    I like the pixels in and it helps me draw, but the only thing I wish it had was where you can make an animation with the pixels, like an old video game. But it overall a great drawing app. Thank you for making this.

    Thank you. Your request is noted.
  • Failed to import sprite

    Just got this app and it is unusable. When you click the + icon to create a new sprite it says failed to import sprite.
  • Almost There !

    I wish there is an animation tool .. and more updates .. Keep going
  • Straight Forward, intuitive, and simple

    Does exactly what you want it to do and it does it well.
