  • NO LONGER SAVES ANY FILES!

    This app used to be fantastic. But with each software update, it’s degraded to the point it no longer saves new files to my iPad. When I reported it to the developers, they did not believe me and kept telling me to check my iPad as it “must be saved somewhere.” It’s not. I checked every single folder for the files I created using this app and they’re nowhere to be found. I’m certain I’m not the only person having this issue. It’s one thing to have a major issue like this, it’s another to be told I’m wrong.

  • Decent app, but no Crop tool? Come on..

    I’ve used this for years, and it’s generally a solid app, but I’ve noticed in recent versions there’s no tool to directly crop an image like there used to be (either that, or there’s a bug preventing it from showing anywhere in the app. This is a really, really basic function of an app and as a result, I can’t really use this, because cropping a section of an image square is important because it’s how I have been creating avatars for years.

    Developer Response

    Hi there! The Crop tool hasn't gone away anywhere - it's still in the Tools menu, though it's possible you may need to scroll down to see it, depending on your iOS text size settings. If the Clone tool really seems to be missing on your end, please drop us a line at support@pixelmator.com and we'll get to the bottom of this!
  • New bugs are making usage a lot harder

    This is the best photo editing app I've been able to find, and I've used it for years. But recently, there's some problems, mostly involving layers.
    The most annoying to me is that, when I copy and paste something, it often ends up far away from where it was copied from, to the point where it's usually out of the editing area entirely. This can be a real pain if the pasted item is very small.
    There's also cases where layers don't respond when selected, previews on the sidebar don't update... these are all fairly recent, they only started happening in the past few months.

  • Exactly what I needed

    This app is awesome! It brings the sort of editing tools I'd normally reach for gimp/photoshop for to my iPhone in a surprisingly intuitive UI layout. Now I can make spur-of-the-moment memes on my phone >:3
  • Cloning issue

    It has worked fine until recently. Cloning in retouch isn’t working properly on my iPhone. It has been very frustrating trying to get support.
  • Exit tool in edit takes multiple hits…..

    Exit tool in edit takes multiple hits to close window when wanting to open new image. Anyone else having this problem on the iPad?

    Developer Response

    Thanks for taking the time to share feedback. The text editing issue should be fixed in the next Pixelmator update. If you still experience issues after the update, feel free to drop us a line at support@pixelmator.com and we'll dig deeper.
  • Crashes

    Keeps crashing when using sliders at the bottom of adjustments. Difficult, no, impossible to submit a support ticket. Finally just deleted it. And, no way to get a refund either. That option is simply not available.
  • Selection features is all this app needs!

    Object and background removal
    Sky replacement
    I been using this app since launch and its been my go to editor on iphone for social media. I just wish there were some faster selection methods than erasing the top layer.
    Is there anything in the Works for this?
  • Update

    Terrible update, all the good brushes are gone now, and finding any brushes is harder. And you still have some small undo arrow hiding way up in the corner. Just bad.

    Can we please have the watercolour brushes back, at the very least? 🙄
  • Still fantastic, but with some clunky UI

    I have been making edits with this app for several years and I love it! But recent changes have made the tools a bit harder to use, for me. The buttons are now a selection of wide buttons that take up basically the entire width of the tools window (on iPhone), which makes it annoying to quickly go back-and-forth between actions. My suggestion is to maybe offer an option to condense the bottoms to just the symbols, side-by-side. That way you can still recognize each tool while quickly having access to it all on the fly!

    The other minor annoyance I have is the top options no longer hide when you tap on it. I frequently used this feature to see exactly how my images look as wallpapers. Now I’d have to export the image before knowing exactly how it’ll turn out. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Besides those issues, I love this app and will continue to use it for the foreseeable future!
