### 4/5 — Pixel Studio

*2026-08-22, version 5.52*

This app is really helpful for melon sandbox and for my future videos there’s just ads

### 3/5 — Pretty good.

*2026-08-20, version 5.52*

I like this app a lot, although I would like a easier way to mirror things. (I suck at pixel art and it makes it easier for reference sheets, at least for me.)

### 5/5 — Hello

*2026-08-18, version 5.52*

It’s so fun you can do anything 

Have a good day

### 5/5 — Great App

*2026-08-18, version 5.52*

I’m just learning, so I cant say the same for anyone more seasoned in design and pixel art. But, I can safely say that Oleg has made a very powerful and easy to use, portable tool! Thanks a bunch, happy to support however I can!

### 5/5 — Bueno

There’s nothing bad but I just use this app for melon sandbox another game and this game is very good to make mods in melon sandbox but this app it’s very good so make sure to enjoy and download the app if you haven’t!

### 5/5 — Very good pixel art

*2026-08-14, version 5.52*

I personally just use this app to make mods for a game I play(melon sandbox), but I’ve seen people use this app to show their creativity in many ways. Inside the app, there is a thing called drawing of the week or something like that, and it always impresses me, so if you download this, try to get on the drawing of the week. I dare u. Do it. DOWNLOAD THE APP

### 5/5 — 5 Star yuppp

*2026-08-12, version 5.52*

Yes dude this is the best pixel creating app. That’s so some great work, I have so much fun with it. Keep up and keep it simple, you could try a new menu or interface when you open the game but I suggest you keep the Colors and tools the same it’s simple and easy to use ! ; D

### 5/5 — the nicest app for creating pixel art

*2026-08-12, version 5.52*

though the ad’s can be very annoying the app itself is a good way for people and me to enjoy art except pixelated

### 5/5 — An incredible app, but I would like this to be added.

*2026-08-10, version 5.52*

I do believe this is an incredible app for pixel artists. I would like to be able to move groups so I don’t have to move them individually. But overall, great app, definitely recommend it!

### 1/5 — I won’t work it keeps going to small☹️😡

*2026-08-11, version 5.52*

😡

### 1/5 — Angry

*2026-07-16, version 5.47*

It’d getting saved too files and I dunno how to fix it. 😡

### 1/5 — Broken Undo and Pan, Corrupting Images

*2026-07-04, version 5.47*

I used to love this app, but the undo (and pan?) function has taken many hours of my hard work. I can’t for the life of me understand the rhyme or reason, but randomly trying to zoom will cause my current layer to corrupt, with pixels scattered all across the canvas. I really do love this app, but I can’t trust it.

### 1/5 — Very Upset No Support For Aesprite

*2026-06-18, version 5.47*

I really liked this app but the support for Aesprite has cause me to reconsider other apps . Its frustrating to be locked in with all my drawing. Especially since i paid for the app thinking ill have Aesprite support

### 1/5 — Can’t load its own recommended color palettes.

*2026-06-16, version 5.47*

App claims that only 256+ is paid, but the paid pop up comes up even for default recommended 64 color sets. Waste of a download. Also, ngl, the interface is SUPER rough for what they want for the paid version, and the GitHub help wiki is absolutely pitiful.

### 1/5 — Won’t let me look at my past projects

*2026-04-18, version 5.47*

I can’t look at my past projects because the maximum px is 1024 x 1024. My past projects are like 2048 x 2048, so the app won’t let me open them

### 1/5 — Too glitchy

*2026-01-10, version 5.42*

Too glitchy

### 1/5 — Very helpful

*2025-12-24, version 5.42*

Gave me great viruses and errors 😀😀👍👍

### 1/5 — Strange “shortcuts”?

*2025-12-12, version 5.42*

There’s weird shortcuts, like pressing the undo button enough times just completely deletes the frame. I’m not sure why they didn’t add an option to turn it off, but please give a disable option, it’s very annoying.

### 1/5 — Halfpixels.

*2025-12-07, version 5.42*

I tried to use this app in order to make a few sprites. I also used their resizing tool that they shove in your face if your image is small. However, for whatever reason, when you resize using their resizing tool (even if i make it 3x bigger), your drawing becomes riddled with half pixels, and, literal hundreds of tiny color changes. I am not joking. I am seriously disappointed in this app.

### 5/5 — I love it!!!(Im not a bot btw js a Mpg modder)

*2026-08-19, version 5.52*

I use it for Melon Playground modding, and its so user friendly! I can easily make custom colors, upload individual or the whole drawing, and so much more. Its not to complicated and not too simple. I recommend this app 100% and Im not a bot either.

### 5/5 — This game is cool
