Utterly Useless

I don’t understand all of the positive reviews. £9.99 for what? There’s hardly anything on the app to justify the price. Only a fool would buy this (me included). I’ve asked for a refund, shame I can’t get a refund if my wasted time.

Will these issues ever be fixed? Apple apps get such bad ratings.

I have Pixelmator on multi iOS devices and my Mac computers. I do like the app in general however the latest version in iOS 17.6.1 has a number of issues.
The text alignment option will switch to left after beginning in center. The files are sent to the bottom of the page while they used to be at the top.
Sometimes the text style selection window will go blank and one must close and reopen to continue text style selection. Sometimes when opening an new image the app will say “can’t open now” or something like that. Again, open and close may fix that.
I hope this will help your techs in fixing these issues.
