### 4/5 — this app is EXTRAORDINARY!

*2022-07-19, version 1.1.0*

This is just the app i wanted, it’s nice to mess around with but there is only one thing wrong with it, 
when i put a colour down (like red)
and change the colour
it changes to that on the canvas and i can’t get it back then,
Maybe make extra slots of colours that u can scroll though, like a colour folder with all ur colours u have made and click them to get it?
It would be a perfect app if u fixed that and i would use it more
BESIDES THAT, ITS SO AWESOME! !!!
i hope u reply to this happy!!

### 2/5 — WHY

*2021-10-08, version 1.1.0*

I just wish it didn’t COST money on the import photo but at least it is pixel.

### 5/5 — Awesome its my favorite app

*2020-06-17*

This is amazing

### 5/5 — Great App

*2020-06-06, version 1.1.0*

I have always been into making images in this format and this does that very well. You can change colors, place pixels easily, and create many things. The only 2 complaints I have is that I wish you could delete more then one thing at once and sort images into a certain order.

### 5/5 — Yahooooooooooooo

*2020-04-27, version 1.1.0*

Hahhahahahhaha im freaking out this app is really ebicly super. Hhahahahahhahahahahhahah thank u who ever made this!
Plz add.

### 2/5 — Pixel paint

*2020-04-05, version 1.1.0*

It’s so hard to play the block’s are way to small unless you have a stylist.

### 3/5 — THERE IS NO FILL TOOL!

*2019-11-07, version 1.1.0*

Please add a fill tool. It would be extremely helpful. And it is the only reason I am hesitant to use this app for any serious projects.

### 3/5 — Good App But Could Do With Additions

*2019-10-30, version 1.1.0*

As an artist I will say that this app is useful for working in a pixelated format as most other applications are far more focused upon other more realistic styles and art forms. It allows the user to choose their canvas size, pick out pallets to work with, and save and download their finished product. 

However, there are features that I would love to see and would make the app far more worth it. For starters, there is as far as I can tell, a distinct lack of transparency, often meaning that one ends up having to use part of their pallet to define the transparent elements and then use a separate app or tool in order to apply the transparency.
Secondly, the pallets can be hard to keep consistent if you are working on multiple pieces with a similar color scheme or style. For example, say you are making textures for a multi-sided object and you had to have multiple pieces which are all cohesive and use the same pallet. In such a situation, you could duplicate your first project in order to keep the pallet, but that’s hardly efficient or effective and can be inadequate or frustrating to work with. As such, I’d highly appreciate the addition of being able to save custom color pallets.
Another thing that could prove extremely helpful would be the ability to import multiple images onto one canvas. With such a feature, one could easily put together textures into the proper format by simply making the textures individually and then pasting them into another canvas and formatting them accordingly.

I really hope that this app continues to improve with time.

### 3/5 — Great, just a couple issues

*2019-10-07, version 1.1.0*

As is, the app only allows for a certain amount of colors on each canvas which can be very limiting. Also either there is no fill tool or I have not found it.

### 5/5 — •-• please add dis

*2019-09-21, version 1.1.0*

I love this app•-• what i think it needs as of today i needed it is a way to type in the exact hexcode for colors and maybe make a way to make a flipbook with copy pasting certain parts of your image over that would be fun but ye hexcode would be nice i been lookin for

### 4/5 — Colors

*2019-09-19, version 1.1.0*

I respect use of the app entirely, the only problem i have is lack of the amount of colors. Colors are a bit in the limited use making it difficult for more detailed art.

### 2/5 — This App Is A Scam.

*2019-09-06, version 1.1.0*

So,I Wanted To Make A Pixel Logo.This App Looked Cool So I Chose It.Well..I Couldn't Import A Photo Without “Premium”.I Purchased It And I Finally Finished.But..The Background Was All Black.And It Had Black On It.I Thought That Was How It Just Looked In My Photos.I Imported It Into Another App,IT WAS JUST BLACK.I WANT A REFUND.

### 4/5 — Pixel Paint

*2019-08-20, version 1.1.0*

It is very fun. But I would love to have more colors. I like to use this app but it gets boring with the same colors. And I like the preview paints but I feel as if there should be more. But very fun. I gave it 4 stars.

### 4/5 — pretty good

*2019-07-15, version 1.1.0*

most of the problems I have with it are problems of the limitations of pixel art software for non-computer devices.

### 2/5 — Colors

*2019-06-28, version 1.1.0*

For the most part, I like the app. But, there just aren’t that many colors in it! Like we’re are the Browns?! There are just more colors you could add. But, that’s just my opinion.

### 1/5 — Жесть

*2022-02-09*

Жесть

### 1/5 — Pretty Bad Quality

*2021-01-03, version 1.1.0*

I downloaded this app think, I can make some really cool pixel art with this, BOY WAS I WRONG! The colors are so washed out and dull, and it’s so hard to figure out the settings. As soon as I uploaded my first picture, I couldn’t even recognize it. This is a good app idea but is very poorly done.

### 1/5 — Awful and useless

*2020-11-24, version 1.1.0*

Commands barely work, don’t use

### 1/5 — I think you should just not get this

*2020-09-19, version 1.1.0*

I don’t think you should get this because when you try to make a photo 8 bit and try to save the photo the app forces you to buy instead of you saving the photo and I think it’s ridiculous when you make a photo you save it with no purchase, but here they force you to make a purchase to save the photo

### 1/5 — Colors

*2020-01-04, version 1.1.0*

Everything good except I can’t make custom colors 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

### 1/5 — Colours please I’m begging u

*2019-03-02, version 1.1.0*

PLEASEEE MORE COOOOLARS

### 1/5 — Either the reviews are lying to you...

*2019-02-19, version 1.1.0*

Or they took out features. There’s no hex codes. Heck, they only give you 16 colors per image out of 32 they give you AND you can only choose the 16 once you open the image. You can’t choose after. 

It’s my type of outline preference (you can make squares over a grid) but you can’t use layers, the color options are not only limited but really pointless colors (50 shades of blue but only 16 options...) you can’t upload unless you buy.... idk what to think of this... it’s upsetting.

### 1/5 — worthless

*2019-01-28, version 1.1.0*

this “free” app is just a demo for their paid features. you can’t do anything worthwhile. just put your app in the paid section, so tired of this trojan horse BS.

### 1/5 — Worthless

*2018-07-21, version 1.0.4*

Don’t waste your time. Won’t open a photo, won’t create a new project. Does nothing as far as I can see.

### 1/5 — Missing C64 resolution

*2018-05-03, version 1.0.4*

Guys C64 in multicolor use 4x8 blocks and not 8x8. Check how is it works and please put the option in so the app would be useful.

### 5/5 — Best pixel art editor for iOS

*2025-01-25, version 1.1.0*

No nonsense, easy to use, reliable

### 5/5 — La reseña

*2024-04-19, version 1.1.0*

La mejor aplicación que e visto en mi vida para pincelar pero está muy chula la aplicación los felicito por aver creado la mejor aplicación del mundo 
Mundial muy cool y tiene muchas cosas más y se merece ser famosa ya la compartí con todos mis amigos que está increíble

### 5/5 — Мега приложение

*2022-02-17*

Не пишу обычно Отзывы. Но это приложение просто бомба. Фух, почувствовал детский восторг. Добавьте возможность перевода видио в формат пикселей. Даже как платную функцию. Двойной респект разработчикам. 🤘🏻🎸🤘🏻

### 5/5 — A

*2021-05-03*

It’s ok

### 5/5 — Great to mess around with!

*2021-01-18, version 1.1.0*

It’s not a professional app but for a free pixel art app to mess around with, it’s really good. I have used a few pixel art creators like aseprite and photoshop on my MacBook but this is neat and good. Good job.

### 5/5 — .

*2021-01-12, version 1.1.0*

nice

### 5/5 — Great app for quick doodles

*2020-11-24, version 1.1.0*

Works well, even with the free limits.  Camera feature is rotated 90 degrees on my iPad, but it still works well.  The full purchase price of $3 is also reasonable.

### 5/5 — Мне нравится)

*2020-08-23, version 1.1.0*

Классно, обожаю рисовать в этом пеинте)

### 5/5 — Amazing
