### 5/5 — とても使いやすい

*2026-06-19*

編み物のパターン作りに使用しています。
レイヤーの色調整で色を数字で指定できるか、使用中の色を変えることで塗ったレイヤーを変えられるとうれしいです！

### 4/5 — Delete my work with no reason

*2026-06-06, version 2.10.4*

I worked exhausted of making pictures but once I tried to save it the work, the app suddenly crashed and all my hard work are gone.😭😭😭

### 5/5 — Very peak app

*2026-03-16, version 2.10.4*

I mainly downloaded this app for making sonic sprites, but now that I’m used to it after the first day of using it, it reminds me of my main drawing app, Ibis paint! I’d recommend this app to anyone interested in pixel media.

*2025-12-22, version 2.10.4*

the ads are unbearable

### 2/5 — Gone downhill

*2025-12-01, version 2.10.4*

It used to be an excellent choice of a free pixel editor, but now it's full of ads that will not let you out of them even after they finish and half the time I click the save button it crashes and undoes all my progress. After three times of it crashing and resetting my progress I have moved everything over to a different program until this issue is fixed.

### 1/5 — Langue

*2025-09-30, version 2.10.4*

I don’t know how to switch the language to English

### 3/5 — New update bug

*2025-09-26, version 2.10.4*

Now literally cannot create new art or duplicate existing art whatsoever

### 3/5 — Hey, I’m kinda not happy with some of the drawing features

*2025-09-25, version 2.10.4*

The drawing brush and erasing brush need custom sizes I usually draw on a big canvas size and honestly the smaller lead tool and draw tool and cutting it for me.
