Perfect balance between simplicity and functionality. This guy knows what he’s doing. ### 5/5 — Good *2024-02-03, version 2.1.10* Good an md simple to learn. ### 5/5 — Leiland Chatterton *2024-01-25, version 2.1.10* Need to be Abel to change the merchandise tho but other than that we’re good. ### 5/5 — I love this game *2023-12-25, version 2.1.10* I love this game because you can color and do what ever you want and if you like art you can play this game if you like it I play this game like every day when I am bored so if you like it you should play it a lot ### 5/5 — Best in its price range *2023-12-14, version 2.1.10* Very good ### 5/5 — I LOVE IT! *2023-10-10, version 2.1.10* I love your app because you get to stretch your creativity and power beyond anything before hand but now in pixel form. I really do not think the pixel format is restricting at all because how simple it is counteracts those aspects of limits. I genuinely would recommend this to everyone I know. Thanks you. ### 5/5 — Really Cool!! *2023-08-15, version 2.1.10* While it may not have everything, it has a bunch of great features that are pretty easy to use! The main thing people will find the most useful is the gif maker! A lot of the mobile options don’t have it, and most definitely don’t have it without ads. Even if you don’t use this app for all of your art needs, you are definitely going to want this for the gif maker because you can easily paste things from other apps. One thing I haven’t gotten the chance to use is the merch maker. That sound SO COOL! I’m not sure of the actual quality of the items, but the idea of having your own pixel art on a shirt through an easy to use app is really cool. It is only almost $22 a shirt which is really nice (shipping can vary, the shirts’ base cost is $16.99). Really cool app with cool features :) ### 5/5 — Chido *2023-08-05, version 2.1.10* Me gusta mucho visualmente ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Unresponsive. *2024-11-23, version 2.1.10* Controls are unresponsive. Sometimes, when I zoom in or out, it doesn’t happen and it ends up making a line I didn’t want to draw. Actually made me mad. ### 1/5 — Crashes *2022-12-31, version 2.0.7* The app crashed after 20 seconds of using it, how this app has 5 stars is beyond me. This app is trash ### 2/5 — Huge problem on mobile *2025-03-22, version 2.1.10* After an hour it froze and erased all of my art, so I had to make it all over again, and that froze, and got erased too! ### 3/5 — It’s a really good app *2023-04-07, version 2.1.10* I would give it 5 starts but I feel like it’s lacking features 1. It needs symmetry lines tools 2. Crop tool/resize 3. Rotate freely 4. Path plotting tool 5. setting for the pen 6. Block hand drawing when using pen 7. When using the selector tool the actions menu gets in the way 8. Import reference photo 9. Mirroring tool If I can think of more I’ll edit my review Other than that it’s a really great app everyone should give it a try! :) ps it hasn’t crashed on me yet I sent a message to your email but I never got a response I just wanted to let you know ### 4/5 — Crashing *2026-08-03, version 2.1.10* Im not sure why but recently it has been crashing especially when i have been trying to some on one of my drawings using the onion skin layer ### 4/5 — Very cool!!! :3 *2026-07-13, version 2.1.10* This is an awesome sprite maker!! Although, the only problem is that when I zoom in too close on my project the app crashes :( ### 4/5 — Great but one issue *2024-12-18, version 2.1.10* Now I really like this but I do have one slight suggestion, so I use this app for design ideas for video games but I like to organize them into folders but now I have over ten folders for one game and I don’t want to make more for a different game or I might get confused, so I think it would be really great if you could put all your folders in one big folder ### 4/5 — Really good app, but crashes. *2024-06-16, version 2.1.10* When I’m doing pixel art or animation, it always crashes every few minutes. ### 4/5 — I love it! *2024-01-20, version 2.1.10* Pixel brush is nice and easy to use. You can make really cool pixel art with it. ### 4/5 — It’s a great app, but could use some things *2023-08-19, version 2.1.10* First, it needs a measuring feature, I keep having to count out every single pixel, second, symmetry tool, I have to copy it, flip it, then fix all the mistakes, third, I need to be able to make it a transparent sprite ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fun *2026-07-23, version 2.1.10* Funny to draw in ### 5/5 — This might be the most well designed pixel art app in the store *2026-07-22, version 2.1.10* I love this thing! It has many of the most important features you would want or come to expect from professional paint programs! Transparent canvas, layers, you can make animations!, customizable colors and palettes with advanced options, magic wand selection tool, marquee selection tool, cut, paste, flip, brush size and optional pixel softening controls, shapes, grid, and straight edge! I can’t believe it’s free! ### 5/5 — Añadirían sonidos? 🤨 *2026-07-19, version 2.1.10* Propongo que añadan sonidos personalizados para cada cosa que haga el usuario. Haría la experiencia al dibujar mucho mas entretenida ### 5/5 — Wow *2026-07-12, version 2.1.10* Just wow I love. Fun and it helps with my indie series just wow ### 5/5 — No ads AND free *2026-06-14, version 2.1.10* It is just really great there are no ads completely free and they have every shade of every color so you can you can draw and color better and you can put it into your photos send it to people so they can see your art too I give this a 10/10 ### 5/5 — Awesome game *2026-05-13, version 2.1.10* Pretty good and no trial and it’s for free best game ever ### 5/5 — Extremely Useful And Important To Me. *2026-04-06, version 2.1.10* This app literally allowed me to make my own Melon Playground mods. I have a lot fun drawing whatever I want (unless I struggle, but struggles come from my soft skill level and my phone ignoring where I am trying to point due to not having a stylus). I have one suggestion that’ll make the Fill tool even more useful than it already is. The Fill tool is still pretty useful, but I wish it had the ability to change all pixels of whatever color you tapped to the color you have selected. That would make noise maps like mine much easier to change the colors of. That is my only suggestion, everything else is great and easy to use. ### 5/5 — If your thinking about getting this app STOP IT!!! *2026-03-02, version 2.1.10* This app is awesome and I love the animations that you can make. It’s a little bit confusing at first, but within seconds you get the hang of it. ### 5/5 — 5/5 *2025-09-07, version 2.1.10* I love this app! I do a ton of Perler bead crafts and I love too make my own designs, Also I have an idea for the creator, there should be an option where you can make a 3d pixel arts that would be so cool! You should rlly try this app for yourself it has no ads no online payments and gives you the option for more colors! ### 5/5 — Why this games is so goated *2025-06-04, version 2.1.10* BECAUSE THIS GAME IS THE GOAT!!! THE GOOOOOOAT!!!!!!!!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
