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. ### 4/5 — Great app if you are into this sort of stuff! *2011-05-06, version 0* 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. ### 5/5 — Great!! *2011-05-02, version 0* 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 ### 3/5 — Good but... *2011-02-25, version 0* 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. ### 3/5 — Really good but... *2011-02-22, version 0* 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  ### 5/5 — Great fun! *2010-12-21, version 0* This is a fun app. I love the option to take a picture and pixel-ize it. I took a picture of an Xbox 360 controller and set it as my wallpaper. XD I agree with everyone that zooming would be nice, But otherwise this is a fun way to kill time. ### 4/5 — Good but *2010-10-08, version 0* It's a bit hard to draw, and when you make a mistake you've got to hit menu then activate eraser then erase then open menu then disable erase... It gets a bit annoying sometimes. ### 3/5 — Ok....but *2010-08-05, version 0* It needs more colors and when you convert a picture to pixels it should be in color not black and white. ### 4/5 — Great *2010-07-19, version 0* Good for bad or great artists ^ Me One problem is that I haven't found the screenshots anywhere in the app ### 5/5 — Yay! *2010-07-14, version 0* This is practicaly the best pixel drawerthing on the app market! For all the people saying "I have an iPod and I can't pixilate an image!" well I have an iPod too and it works. For pixilating an image I would like you to be able to select multiple colors. Also it would be nice to have a zoom feature as well, other than that, let the pixel republic live on!!! ## Frequently asked questions about Pixel ### What can I do with this app?
