What's New in Pixel Art Pro

2.1

June 24, 2021

Fixed a bug where PixelArtPro folder and files vanished after iOS update by ensuring the iCloud ubiquitous container uses a fully qualified label. Note if you can’t see previous files on iCloud via Finder, they should still show up when you search, then copy them to the new PixelArtPro folder which will be created when saving a project to iCloud.

Great app overall.. but

There should be a way to undo deleting a frame in the animation tab.

Response from developer

True, unfortunately I can no longer update any apps as my MacBook Pro is too old. I got a new iMac but it was stolen. I’m terminating all my apps as I don’t want to pay to keep them live if I can’t build or update anything. Goodbye iOS!

My go-to pixel app…

I’ve tried many pixel art apps on iOS and Mac and this one is the most fun to draw in by far. The interface could use some polish though. A few feature requests: Export at larger sizes and video so I can post on social media. Export to psd with layers, frames intact. Ability to duplicate images in the app without having to export and reimport it. Also this hasn’t been updated in a while. A competing app I used to use is suddenly gone from the App Store. Will this one stick around for a while longer?

Thanks for your feedback, all good suggestions. It’s true I’ve not touched it in a while. I have a tendency to build things then move onto something else completely losing interest in past projects without updating or improving things as much as should. Anyway I don’t intend to remove it from sale although sometimes Apple will just boot apps out if they don’t get updated much and they don’t have many downloads. I’m glad you like using it anyway. Unfortunately I’m a one man band, if I had a team I’d kick them into action immediately but I guess I need to kick myself into action instead lol

This app is awesome but I need some things

This app is amazing but it’s needs more premade retro palettes like game boy and turbographx 16 also I want a speed paint function that allows you to watch how you drawn your work.

Issues

Overall, a great app. The layering and animation features work great. The sprite sheet creation functions very well.
However, there are a few issues.
1. You cannot import photos or new files.
2. You can’t shift color hues after placing them, so if you want to edit colors on a sprite or scene, you must do it manually.
3. You can’t copy your files.
4. Please add reference lines for the center of a sheet.

Response from developer

Hi thanks for feedback, you are correct on all points apart from first point. You can import sprite sheets by clicking on the image in photo’s app then opening with pixel art pro. But you need to have the extension enabled in your share options. It then asks you to select width and height in pixels. There shouldn’t be any spacing between adjacent tiles otherwise it won’t import correctly. If you notice iOS apps don’t have an open file option. Instead you normally click on the file, then load it into an app - provided the app implements an extension for that functionality.

Amazing But needs work

I’ve been using this app for about a month now and I’m OBSESSED. Although, I wish you Could Turn your GIFs into Video. And there is a Glitch when You export PNG files, It deletes the work you Have done, Thanks for reading this, And Can you Add something that Can Maximize the size of the eraser. I usually do the highest setting, And this app Is Breathtaking. Thank you, And have a good Day <3

Hi Princesskittykatkit, glad you like it. Sorry to hear about deleting work with png export. I can’t reproduce the problem. But there is one thing in that if you export to animated png format when you look at it in your photo’s app it looks stationary. This is a limitation of the photo’s app, if you select it and send it as a text message or email to yourself you will see it is in fact animated. If you mean it deletes your actual project, I don’t know. Please feel free to contact me on dan@cuffedtothekeyboard.com to explain in more detail so I can fix it. Regards, Dan
