### 5/5 — I like it!

*2013-04-16, version 1.1*

I have a lot of fun with this app while converting my pics and posting to Instagram. Nice, refreshing idea, interesting results.

### 5/5 — Cool - turns pictures into art!

*2013-04-16, version 1.1*

Very interesting to play with.  You get some nice results without a lot of tweaking.

### 2/5 — Baffling interface

*2021-07-16, version 3.2.2*

Can’t figure out how to use it.

### 3/5 — Lots of potential

*2019-02-05, version 3.2.2*

This a nice pixel rendering app I’ve used off and on when my creativity flame itches, but I think the recent updates have broken my saved preferences. Photos render skewed to the right when it shouldn’t. Another improvement I’d like to see is more rendering parameters. Maybe adjusting the parameters could render the image in real time? Overall a good app to spend some time with and getting creative.

### 3/5 — Needs new UX and hi-res export

*2018-07-20, version 2.25*

Love the concept, but the UX needs a 2010 or better face-wash and definitely needs the ability to save as hi-res!!!

### 4/5 — A+ BUT doesnt save as hi-res WUT??

*2017-02-06, version 2.25*

It continues to blow my mind that some devs *still* neglect to see (the what should be obvious) dire need for a high resolution final export. 

It's the first functionality I check for when testing photo & video editing applications. Because, if the final image isn't hi-res, I have ZERO use for the app or service. Which then of course is immediately removed from my device. 

It's an easy integration & tbh, you could even charge a one time fee for it and people would pay. I know I would. 

C'mon, git it.

### 4/5 — Unique like mini pieces of art

*2015-09-09, version 2.24*

Very unique photography idea! It takes the photo information and rearranges it into some type of abstract looking art in a way. The small particles are very cool, hi res. there is a decent amount of customization though I'd like to see more patterns. Regardless it's a fresh take on our visual diet.

### 4/5 — It's Simple, Random Fun

*2015-08-19, version 2.2*

Yes, it's another glitch app, but the results are unique from the others, and I like the simple-yet-adjustable  nature of the effects.  It does take quite a while to process if you adjust certain sliders in certain ways (6 plus).  This is what I consider a novelty app - one of those just-for-fun apps I can go to when I'm sick of editing photos and just want the app to do all the work and to make cool stuff with my photos for me.  It's worth a buck or two.

### 5/5 — Very cool!

*2020-02-04, version 3.2.2*

This app is awesome and could keep me occupied for hours at a time.  Thank you for making it free!

### 5/5 — Love it

*2016-03-06, version 2.25*

This app is pretty awesome. If you like creating glitch art type stuff then get this app, it's a lot of fun to mess around with. Great job.

### 5/5 — Surprisingly impressive!

*2015-02-17, version 2.0*

This has more customization than I thought it would. very nice.

### 5/5 — I want to give it six stars

*2014-12-10, version 2.0*

Awesome. Would love to see more!

### 5/5 — Very impressed

*2014-12-02, version 2.0*

I am very impressed with the quality of this app, keep up the good work!

### 5/5 — Please update!

*2014-10-19, version 1.1*

As far as I know this is the only pixel sorting application for iPhone but I run into issues on the newer iOS versions. I really hope this gets updated instead of drifting into unusability.

### 5/5 — Great app!!

*2013-11-12, version 1.1*

This app turns your photo into something resembling an impressionistic, pointillistic, or abstract painting. Very cool! With a little experimenting you can get some amazing results! Search hashtag #pixelisdata on Instagram for examples.

### 5/5 — Get neat art without much fiddling

*2013-08-18, version 1.1*

Makes super cool seemingly abstract images for my website. Always gets people's attention with a caption.

### 5/5 — Yah

*2013-07-13, version 1.1*

Downloading First Rating!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

### 5/5 — Addictive glitch fun

*2013-05-19, version 1.1*

Endless hours of glitch fun from an amazing array of easily tuneable settings.

(Ordinarily it would lose one star for some minor UI/UX quibbles but the infinite glitching fun outweighs that.)
