==== IMPORTANT ==== 
"Minecraft" is a trademark of Mojang AB. 
Skins can only be uploaded to supported Minecraft platforms (i.e. Java and Bedrock Edition only at this moment in time). However, you can still design and share skins if you don't play these editions. The app does NOT support the creation of custom skins for Xbox edition at this time (it's impossible for us to add because the games don't support them!), although if the game allows it in the future, we will defiantly add definitely for it. 

This version of the app may pop-up to tell you about important announcements from 57Digital Ltd. However, this will only happen in rare cases and will only ever pop-up once.

*** Uploading skins to Minecraft.net or Bedrock Edition requires the Minecraft game.

### 1/5 — A five star app that just… stopped working?

*2025-07-03, version 4.9.0*

I’ve used this app happily for years, but I’ve found it to be nonfunctional upon my return. For the past two weeks I’ve regularly attempted to check the community skins, only to be told, “Whoops, sorry about this but we’re having problem talking to our server at the moment. Please give us another chance by retrying your request.” The broken English is also a direct quote.

### 2/5 — Just isn’t working

*2025-04-25, version 4.9.0*

It’s a nice app but I can’t get my skins to actually use them

### 1/5 — Ended my IPad’s life

*2025-02-27, version 4.9.0*

Not only does the app itself not even do anything, a few days after downloading my iPad got some kind of virus and died. I don’t know if this is related to the app given my device was a really old model at the time, but I highly advise caution if you’re considering buying this app.

### 1/5 — This app doesn’t work anymore

*2025-02-19, version 4.9.0*

It’s been my go to for it’s useful tools for a skin editor but now you can’t even receive the skin you made and the community has just been blocked from interacting with everything this app use to do it’s Ben removed it’s a dead app on the AppStore don’t use this

The past few months I haven’t Been able to go onto my own account which is sad, and have been trying to upload the skin for bedrock and it hasn’t been working I understand that some of this might be because you haven’t updated in a while please don’t forget about this app you made. it is really good and I love how easy and simple it is to use all the brushes and stuff have a good day

### 1/5 — app just not working

I tried to log in, which didn’t work, and even trying to create a new account didn’t allow me. and today i came back to the app trying to fix up a new skin, when i was done I tried to upload to java. after closing the app and opening it again and again I was able to log into my Microsoft, but the skin didn’t appear nor would downloading an image from the app of my skin I spent a good amount of time on. Hoping whatever happened will be fixed eventually.
