Why does my animations keep corrupting and also the “transparent” part of it didn’t work

I was using the small, medium and the gameboy size portraits and I was slightly turning some copy and pasted parts that I painted and then fixing the blotchy parts until I exited the portrait and saw 90% of my animation was corrupted, even the ones that I fully animated without turning, not only that but the transparent background of these sprite portraits aren’t going away, I used adobe preimere to get rid of the background but it came out really splotchy. Nearly all of the things cost money.

barley works

it does not even work

Drawing is not registered while drawing, but is saved when exit

And can’t undo afterward.

Simple and clean

A very simple and intuitive interface, especially if you’ve used Procreate or similar apps. Fantastic to have this intro version available for free without distracting ads or anything! I am using it to plan patterns for cross stitch, knitting, etc. and it is perfect for that.

10/10 Recommend!!!

As a Minecraft Partner, I do most of my work on a PC. However, I love my ipad for working on the go. I have tried almost every pixel art app on here for making textures to use in game. We do 16 x 16 textures or 32 x 32. This is hands down the best app for my workflow. I made a draft texture and put it in game. The color match was true…something I haven’t found in other apps.

I fail to understand all of the complaints here. This is an intro/demo. It was never intended to have all the bells and whistles. I will be purchasing the pro version when i am done with this review. The $27 for pro is a lot better than an Adobe subscription for simple pixel art. I also do not understand the comparisons to Procreate. It isn’t meant to be like Procreate, so why would it?

I am extremely pleased with this app.
