Ui needs work
That’s all.
Rescale buttons and other stuff
This app is good on its use but the layout in my screen is completely out , I am in an iPhone 11 and the scaling of the app borders are non existent and the buttons are too little when I bought it and opened it I though it was just a black screen until I noticed a. Little plus on the top
Good app overall, the select feature is just broken (for me at least)
This app is really good, but the select feature is really hard to use. I would expect that I had to select an AREA by setting the perimeter, not select the perimeter by itself. This means that if I want to select a circle, I can’t just select the perimeter of the circle to select all of it, I’d have to select the pixels of the circle individually, which is extremely annoying.

Response from developer
You can use it offline, it is using iCloud Drive which will sync your files when you connect to the internet, but it doesn't require a connection. You can also disable iCloud support entirely by going to your iOS Settings menu, iCloud, and hit the toggle for Pixie Studio, then it will be forced to local storage. Please email support@flyingworm.com if you still can't figure it out!
Ok. 15 mins with the app.
All I can say is literally all the negative reviews must be from people who didn’t even try the app for longer than a few minutes.
Every complain that I read about that made me postpone this purchase for a good whole month turned out to be either false or might have been fixed by now.
This is officially a top notch product. I’ve never owned an actual “pixel” program but have been using photoshop and stuff like that for ages especially for low poly stuff - this thing really makes me feel more at ease with that workflow.
Now that I’m getting an iPad Pro soon, I can only imagine working on this app will be substantially better (since I am only using an iPhone right now).
Thanks dev, this is a FANTASTIC APP. I’d give it 10 stars if I could especially considering the cost of entry.
Some little tips for other people like me:
- YES there are layers.
- YES there are palettes which you can both import and export.
- ... can’t remember more rn but suffices to say these were two of the most commented things I believe, so obviously either those reviews are very outdated and old (therefore Apple should simply delete them already, I see apps go through this deleted old reviews things all the time anyway), or they couldn’t even take the time to figure it out.
If it took me 15 mins to figure all of this out, so I’m guessing these are outdated reviews but if they’re not, then simply ignore them they do not represent the current state of this wonderful app.
The one thing I do think as of right now that would help to improve this product is support for folders to organize projects further. I have at least not found this option and would really appreciate it, as I am planning on building a character system so having a rigorous structure is a must to be able to maintain such project (folders for head assets, face assets, hair assets, bodies... etc). Folders INSIDE of folders would also be nice (recursive folders essentially).

Great improvements
Update 8/20
We went backwards a step here and suddenly I’m unable to create folders which is frustrating.
I’d also love to see a 2k x 2k max canvas size.
Still the best iOS pixel app atm I think, but the folder issue is a big one.
Update 11/8
Positives
Easy to use, contains tons of useful tools. Big improvements to the UI visually have been good and I like that you can adjust the size!
Palette features are still good! I like that I can organize my work. Devs seem actively working to make a sturdy pixel app for game devs, artist and animators.
Negatives
Still can’t import images into a layer, I also have a hard time getting the copy/paste function to work with selections. Currently it’s not possible for me to copy paste from one canvas to another it crashes. I also don’t love some of the navigation where importing/copying stuff between folders drags you out of your current folder.
Update 9/12
New features on this app have been great. Running into some bugs though! It seems I’m unable to import images into a layer which is a bummer as I often have to paste tiles into a main set.
I’d also love it if grid settings only applied to the canvas in use.
The app is definitely moving in a positive direction and I can see it being a powerful mobile pixel studio. Hopefully devs will continue to squash bugs!

This app is suddenly my main tool for pixel art & animation. The updated palette features were so necessary and devs delivered!! It has a ton of features and it’s good for animation, illustrations, & Tilesheets. Devs seem active which is honestly important to me in my main art apps. Would love to see some ui modernization but that’s such a minor thing as far as core workability goes!
