### 2/5 — Kicking me out

*2026-07-13, version 1.9.2*

I was casually making art and I made something really good not what I used make and it told me that I violated a code when I did nothing 😨

### 2/5 — Fix the app

*2026-07-06, version 1.9.2*

In terms of actual usage the app is quite nice, but it does not work. Often times an entire piece will just not save causing you to lose hours of progress, this is so bad I’m at the point I’d rather just go buy an app that actually functions, not to mention how laggy this is, the poor ui, the problem with palettes, I could only recommend this to someone who wants to spend no money at all, and I’ve been using this app for 4 years.

### 2/5 — Bug in community section

*2026-07-04, version 1.9.2*

There is a bug where I can’t see peoples comments in the community section of this application. I keep getting server errors and it just leaves me with a blank screen.

### 2/5 — Meh. Not that useful

*2026-07-03, version 1.9.2*

I was hoping to learn pixel art but you can't import photos even though the feature is there. It's not absolutely necessary but I was hoping to do some more complicated works and the feature is helpful. I'm sure there's other apps that actually have the feature so I'm getting a different one but I'm disappointed I was mislead.

### 4/5 — Pls fix your game.

*2026-07-02, version 1.9.2*

Its good for the most part but when i log into my acc it keeps saying my connection is unstable and it keeps showing this no matter how much i refresh the app. When i check my connection its completely stable!!!??? Please fix this issue

### 3/5 — Good for the most part

*2026-06-26, version 1.9.2*

Good game but in my opinion art shouldn’t have adds also there are some confusing parts that don’t make sense like in settings I might just be blind but I looked for 5 miniutes for a option to change my avatar. Play if you want, it’s fun just has adds and a bit confusing.

### 3/5 — Bug Report

*2026-06-22, version 1.9.2*

When zooming in and out, there’s a chance that there’s a random pixel coming up of where one of your fingers touched, and trying to undo it will remove the pixel, BUT ALSO THE LAST THING U DID!!! FIX :C

### 4/5 — Tried to use stamp for smth

*2026-06-12, version 1.9.2*

Tried to use stamps but it just said no stamps to show but on a different device it worked with the same exact type of stamp.

### 4/5 — It’s fine

*2026-05-07, version 1.9.2*

Pixilart is the most popular art website and app you should try it

### 5/5 — I love it

*2026-05-06, version 1.9.2*

This is so nice I can animate stuff and draw it’s so nice

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2026-05-05, version 1.9.2*

Best pixel art studio in the world

### 5/5 — Good game

*2026-05-03, version 1.9.2*

This app is good to do pixel and I love it

### 5/5 — Review

*2026-05-03, version 1.9.2*

I've been using the app/website for 3 years now and it's the best experience I've ever had using an art app and i love that this app/website is specifically for artists which is really cool! And my favorite part is that it's ai free. If someone were to be caught using ai they get banned which i think is awesome.

### 5/5 — Оптимизация

*2026-04-28, version 1.9.2*

Ребят, лучшее приложение для работы с пиксельной графикой, но есть один катастрофический минус, очень много багов и плохая оптимизация, жду обновлений и фикса этих проблем, поскорее!

### 2/5 — There’s no ‘comic button’ on mobile

*2026-04-25, version 1.9.2*

The byte ai keeps telling me to click the + sign to click on the comic button, because I use mobile but I still wanna make comics and I haven’t done that yet. But it’s just not there

### 3/5 — Got some issues

*2026-04-18, version 1.9.2*

This app is good and I’ve been able to create some good artwork thanks to it but the functions aren’t super optimal, it’s a bit rudimentary and a little bit frustrating. It also glitches and sometimes deletes my layers which really upsets me! I’m not sure about the social side of it but I don’t hate it, but a lot of the time it doesn’t let me upload most of my drawings anyway!

### 5/5 — Noice

*2026-04-09, version 1.6.7*

It’s free it has ads but since you spend hours on a drawing usually what does it matter?

### 1/5 — Art

*2026-07-13, version 1.9.2*

I enjoy making art I’m too lazy to keep writing…
BUT THIS UGLY DOWNLOAD BUTTON DOESNT DOWNLOAD WTF

### 1/5 — Game is so poo

*2026-05-27, version 1.9.2*

Game is so poo xx 💗💗 ad everytime you open a canvas and  it’ll also just make your game crash and delete your art 30 minutes down the drain I would pay money to see the developer behind this game get executed 💗

### 1/5 — Terrible App

*2026-05-25, version 1.9.2*

I’ve been using Pixilart for 3 years now on a computer and it’s awful. It’s ads are incredibly laggy if you don’t have some really well running device, it’s very buggy when drawing, often times deleting an entire layer somehow, and on mobile it’s more of a social media platform than a drawing app. I’m genuinely disappointed to go to leave Pixilart cause I have a lot of stuff here but it just deleted 3 hours worth of work, I can’t recover it, and I’ve had it. I’d recommend ANY other pixel-art/drawing app than this.

### 1/5 — What the hell is this app

*2026-02-08, version 1.6.7*

I’ve tried using this app on multiple occasions and it keeps deleting my work. This can get incredibly frustrating. I know it has a save feature but it will only save what you last saved so if you draw anything new and the app refreshes all of your new work is gone. The app and the website also have a totally different layout for drawing which is confusing. I hope they fix the saving function and find a way to save your progress activity as you are drawing otherwise this would have been a fun app.

### 1/5 — Lost artwork

*2025-11-01, version 1.6.7*

This app is pretty but not as intuitive as the website. THIS APP DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY SAVE YOUR WORK! If you hit the arrow to go back at any point you will lose everything! Very heart breaking when I was almost done with a project TWICE and lost hours of work. Very sad.

### 1/5 — Ad bug

*2025-08-18, version 1.6.7*

Every time I open a project it boots to the login screen and adds another banner ad that eventually all cover the screen making it unusable at the moment

### 1/5 — Won’t let me download

*2025-08-16, version 1.6.7*

Won’t let me download

### 1/5 — Good but ads started covering half the screen which ruins the app

*2025-08-12, version 1.6.7*

It was good but then the ad space got bigger and bigger till they were half the screen making the app unusable. Also, the app goes back to the Home Screen when you go out of it but not completely close it.

### 1/5 — I don’t even know

*2025-08-01, version 1.6.7*

They hit you with some obnoxious loud ad every time you want to draw something. Deleted immediately.

### 1/5 — Bugs it’s stressful

*2025-07-30, version 1.6.7*

I have to wait like infinit amount of time just for it to download because I clicked the 3 dots and download it doesn’t download it just I want to download it to melon player ground but I can’t.

*2026-07-07, version 1.9.2*
