User reviews

Really simple and user friendly and loads of great content available

I’ve been using it to make images for a dungeons and dragons game pixelating images from my phone for scenarios and locations. I love the glitch effects too and the amount of options and mixtures you can make are really fun and unique.

Crash

Love this app but please fix the crashes when i open one of the tabs for effects like crt, lines around the edges of pixels etc. the app crashes, and it sometimes crashes just editing other things as well.
