Ok but

I like the idea but I found it glitchy and hard to work with. I had to tap multiple times to get it to draw and it was too hard to erase a mistake. No zoom feature for precision when trying to draw something small and complex.

Great app if you are into this sort of stuff!

When you pixelate your images, they seem to favor black, if you could change the amount of white vs black it would be epic, also, we need multicolors and pixel by pixel editing.

Great!!

I think it is a load if fun maybe some more colours and easy and less annoying way to get to eraser. This definitely needs an update but very fun.
My compliments to Alexander Cohen

Good but...

Not very easy to use (getting the menu seems tricky but maybe I'm just not doing it right? On that note a few basic instructions please) not many options, for me personally the lack of ability to zoom in and out rather than just change pixel size really stops this being awesome.

Really good but...

I love the concept of this and how it works but it's too simple. It needs more choices of colors maybe a color wheel and zoom out or choose a certain part of a picture to pixelize. More effects for the pixels would be good too. I'd definitely pay 1$ for more features 
