### 1/5 — What in the world was the developer thinking? Complete garbage.

*2022-08-01, version 2.0*

This app does not even deserve a single star. Is this some kind of a joke? Nothing works. Why is such garbage on the App Store anyway ????

### 1/5 — You can do better.

*2021-04-16, version 2.0*

When you use tap pen and you tap it doesn’t fill the box in. Instead it only shows up if you look in the hub or slides. How am I supposed to draw it if I can’t see the pixels??

### 1/5 — Buggy crashy

*2021-03-05, version 2.0*

Pretty much anything you try to do - it’ll crash.

### 1/5 — Terrible review

*2019-02-13*

This a terrible game don’t get it! It won’t let me do a single thing a swear this games just a stuiped glitch

### 5/5 — Great

*2017-10-26*

This is a great pixel art maker there is on thing that need to be fixed the squares are to small. Another than that this is great I made 3 peace’s of art as soon as I downloaded this👍👍👍👍

### 2/5 — Not very easy to use

*2016-08-15, version 2.0*

Ok, so I was making a picture and tried to zoom in, on the photo. Then it just blobbed the color that I was using all over the photo. 

Stupid. 

And please add where u can choose a color of a plain red,green,blue etc. not the color wheel please, but do keep it because people might want specific colors.

And the photo you see in the description? That must have taken years.

And please make it where u can select the background paint easily.

It took forever to get a few pixels in even.

Overall, if u want to draw pixelated art, don't get this app. 

In the time it took me to write this review, I probably could only get 4 pixels in.

### 4/5 — Can only use in the store??

*2015-10-13*

You need to be in the app store to use this app??

### 5/5 — Cool!

*2015-08-19, version 1.4*

It's a great app for making Pixel art! You don't have to go through that complicated numbers selection for just a color! All I wish is for more sizes... But other than that it's a great app for projects so I rate it 5 stars! 😉👍🏻
