### 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.😭😭😭

### 4/5 — I LOVE IT

*2025-12-23, version 2.10.4*

It’s soo good I just so

### 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.

### 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.

### 4/5 — カラーピッカーが使いにくくなりました(泣

*2025-06-20*

このアプリはキャンバスのサイズを自由に選択できるので大変使いやすいです！

しかしながら、先日アップデートしたところ、カラーピッカー時にApple Pencilでドラッグ出来なくなり困っています。サイズも小さくなり、使いづらくなりました。以前のような動作ができるようになると有り難いです。

追記: iOSをアップデートしたら、レイヤーを選択又は解除した時に他のレイヤーの残像が出るようになりました。表示を再度オフオンしないと消えないので、改善してもらえたら非常に有難いです。

### 4/5 — For my projects

*2025-05-25, version 2.10.4*

Love the options that you can do to make the paper size and all the colors you can choose from, i just wish you could save the photos with or without grids, alot of the ones i make i need grids for my crochet projects! Other than a screenshot works when i need it. Hopefully they would update it with it!! Amazing app love using it!

### 3/5 — Advertising

*2025-04-25, version 2.10.4*

How delete advertising? I want buy this app, but don’t see function

### 4/5 — Great app

*2025-04-05, version 2.10.4*

Its a great app, for drawing and editing pixel art. However, there should be a transparent download for the pixel art, where the background is removed, especially because when you make a new project and are selecting the size, the grey and white checkerboard pattern appears, which is usually associated with a transparent background.

### 3/5 — 複数のバグ

*2024-12-18*

一番ドットアニメ作るのが使いやすいです！バグがいくつかあります、画像を読み込むのに写真から選択できるようですが、表示されてる写真しか選択できず下へスクロールできません、読み込む時も選択してない画像がでてきたり、透明化している画像も読み込めたり背景有りになったり不安定です。あと最新のmacのSequoia15.1.1にOSをアップロードしてから、レイヤーの非表示がうまくいきません残像に残ります、一度全て非表示にしないと選択しているレイヤーがうまく表示されません。最後に、アニメーション保存すると透明背景なのに白背景で保存されてしまうので毎回別ソフトで背景をトリミングして使わないといけないのが不便です。以上3点がバグでそれ以外は大変使いやすいです！

### 5/5 — Amazing app

*2024-11-25, version 2.10.4*

Super easy to use and fun! Thanks for this app

### 5/5 — Great for animating

*2024-11-24, version 2.10.4*

So I was making 2-d videos that’s my style and I don’t understand the gif but I did the easy way I upload pictures and use my editing software KineMaster to make it an animation

### 5/5 — Love it, but…

*2024-11-19, version 2.10.4*

Really love the app, but the fact that I cannot change the order of projects to bundle them together is just so inconvenient. I have to recopy stuff 20 times to get it done and watch an add every time

### 3/5 — Not THAT bad

*2024-11-09, version 2.10.4*

Not that bad but idk how to change the canvas size fr XDDD

### 5/5 — Best quick use tools

*2024-10-22, version 2.10.4*

Dope app

### 2/5 — Anúncio

*2024-09-21, version 2.10.4*

Tem Que Ter Fazer A Arte Depois Do Anúncio Terminar E É Sempre O Mesmo Anúncio.

### 1/5 — ads

*2025-12-22, version 2.10.4*

the ads are unbearable

### 1/5 — Langue

*2025-09-30, version 2.10.4*

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

### 1/5 — ほんとにむり

*2025-08-13*

めちゃくちゃ頑張って描いたのに保存の段階でフリーズ？して全てがぱあになった
私の6時間が無駄になったの本当に無理

### 1/5 — I’m devastated

*2024-10-21, version 2.10.4*

Please I beg of you to make this app auto saving I spent hours of my life animating for it all to be deleted because it said I didn’t have photo access turned on, so I turned it on and my whole entire project didn’t save

### 1/5 — App poorly designed

*2024-09-06, version 2.10.4*

Why should you have to watch an ad for a new project? And why do you have to watch an ad to duplicate a project? This makes the app very limited offline. And the cursor doesn’t work well, and the undo buttons also stop working. The app started crashing when you tried to save, and would not export anything.

### 1/5 — Too many ads

*2022-11-15, version 2.10.1*

Can’t even do anything without wasting 30 seconds

### 1/5 — 広告のまま戻らない

*2022-11-15*

そのままです。広告が終わったのに戻らず一旦再起動しないといけないためすぐに直してほしいです

### 1/5 — Schade

*2022-04-09, version 2.10*

Speichert nicht automatisch. Gesamten Fortschritt verloren…

### 1/5 — Need actualization

*2021-07-30, version 2.10*

Need actualization. The app show adds and i have the purchase restore

### 1/5 — Why did you do this

*2021-02-14, version 2.10*

I would have rated this 5 stars because it was easy to use and I have used it for quite a while, but with the new update’s ad system you’ve basically removed it’s offline functionality which I think was a bad move.

### 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！

### 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.

### 5/5 — easy

*2026-01-25, version 2.10.4*

### 5/5 — ドット描くのに一番好きなアプリ

*2025-01-20*

仕事で使っています！
広告はそこまで気になりませんが
お布施として課金利用しています。

操作は簡潔で最低限欲しい機能は揃っています。
すっかりお気に入りになりました！

他の方もおっしゃるように
ヘビィに使わせていただいてるので
保存数を増やして欲しいです。
ご検討の程よろしくお願いします！！！！

### 5/5 — Best game ever

*2024-12-29, version 2.10.4*

The game has perfect pixels and all the good colours for art

### 5/5 — VERY GOOD (but a few minor annoyances)

*2024-12-16*

The ui is very easy to use and it’s overall a really good pixel drawing app, but when i try and hide the layers, it just kinda.. flickers?? it doesn’t make the layer transparent and instead switches from hidden to unhidden. it’s kinda annoying. this can be solved by just turning down the opacity, but i feel like it’s something that should be fixed. also the colour dropper just refuses to work sometimes. there’s also a lot of ads but not SO much to the point where it’d be infuriating, so it’s good. other than that, the app is very useful and is a huge improvement from the other free pixel art apps that i’ve found :]

### 5/5 — Good pixel art app

*2024-12-06, version 2.10.4*

Pixel art is the best i’ve seen. Download this if you wanna make lots of pixel arts, so far i just started and im already good at this because it has a tutorial how to use everything!
