What's New in 8bit Painter

2.7.2

July 2, 2026

Thank you for using 8bit Painter. This update improves the stability of the canvas display after importing images and refines screen layouts on iPad. - Fixed an issue where the canvas position or size could appear incorrectly after importing an image. - Adjusted the color picker and share screen layouts on iPad to make them more reliable. - Adjusted image sharing so cloud saves include only the image, while posts to X include hashtags. - Made other small display-related improvements.

It is okay but すし

I don’t like paying for it. Seriously $300 each week?!? I definitely don’t like paying for that…

アプデ2.7.1、現行にして過去最高のバージョンです!!

一年半ほどこのアプリを利用させていただいています。

特筆すべきはカラーピッカーですね。最高です。これを呼んでいるあなた、使えばわかるよ。

もしよければ、ユーザー間での作品の見せ合いや、ユーザーとディベロッパー様が直接繋がれるような、ディスコードサーバーなどの、交流ができる場を作ってもらえたらすごく嬉しいです!!(良ければぜひ!)

kinda ruined it…

i’ve been using this to make grids for crochet and i have loved it!! however they completely destroyed how you pick the colors and it’s almost unusable now. very sad. i am hoping this gets fixed.

Color picker

After the latest update of color picker has been added recently, it has become more difficult to choose colors since the color wheel was removed and replace by spectrum. Pls fix the color picker to the original 🥺🥺🥺

New colour picker update is a downgrade

The new colour picker doesn’t seem to let me change the shade of the colour darker or lighter? So there are quite a few colours I’m just not able to get anymore without manually entering their hex code. I checked the “standard iOS colour picker” as the patch notes said, and that has a shading slider option that this app doesn’t seem to have. Love the app overall, use it all the time, but would love the old colour picker back or adding in a shading slider. Posting this review hoping it might make a difference…
