### 3/5 — I like everything, but…

*2023-06-09*

I wish you could add pictures on top of other stuff without deleting all my progress, and wish it would be easier to post on YouTube, all in all a good app, but just needs a few changes.

### 1/5 — ads

*2020-04-26*

after about 30 minutes working on something, one of the ads freezed the app when i went to save, and i lost all my progress. nice.

### 2/5 — Not for downloading

*2020-03-08*

This app functioned OK, but it has a lot of flaws.
•You have to change the mode to zoom in/out, which isn’t good for me.
•I’m not sure how to add frames.
•You can’t change the brush size, which makes it really hard to draw.
•”advanced mode” should be the only option because the first mode doesn’t make sense to use.
•I can’t exit my drawing, so I have to restart this app if I don’t want to animate.

### 2/5 — Latest update broke it..

*2020-01-04*

My app has officially deleted all of my previous work and now crashes every time I try to save anything new.

P.s. The frequency of ads has become a bit ridiculous. Everytime I click the options button an ad is shown, even if I had just clicked it.

### 5/5 — Nice

*2019-12-18*

Give me a paid option to remove the ads.

### 4/5 — Cool app

*2019-11-16*

I’m loving the simplicity and usability, but I just can figure out how to delete a frame from my project. I understand I can just have it animate the frames I want, but I want to remove that extra unused frame from my project?

**Developer response:** Hello, if you delete everything (clear frame, and its background layer) and then hit play, it will trim that last unwanted frame.

### 4/5 — More save slots

*2019-05-13*

I use this app a lot. Problem is, i run out of save slots. It would really be appreciated if there were more.

### 3/5 — New Changes should be needed

*2019-02-19*

When importing sprites from a sprite sheet you should make it so when you import a sprite it doesn’t rotate, instead you can crop out any sprite with a pixel perfect selection tool so it’s the right amount of pixels, also how do you export it so it’d transparent?

### 3/5 — It’s OK overall.

*2019-01-01*

I’ve been looking for a pixel animator app, and this is the closest I got.. This app is great, it has a lot of features. However, there was one crucial thing that didn’t seem to be mentioned.. adding more frames, I was trying to add frames into the project, but all options were different. Not to mention because there were too many options it confused me. I pressed help and understood a lot of buttons but it didn’t tell me how to add frames.. So I just had all the fun with 1 frame... i’ll give a much better review if this gets fixed.

### 3/5 — Having troubles

*2018-12-11*

I like this app honestly! it’s simple to use and decent quality.... however whenever I go to save a gif it just sits in a “please wait screen” indefinitely. 😔
