The vast set of features allows you to create every type of pixel art and animation you desire. However, as someone not used to the interface, it is quite hard to get into it and navigate to a certain feature. Especially, when it comes to the timeline UI, editing/moving/copy&pasting keyframes is not very intuitive. It‘s minor things as well: For instance when you want to rename a file in your gallery, you first have to long-press on the file, then a menu pops up, where you have to tap on ‚select‘ and THEN you finally get a menu where you can tap ‚rename‘… Long story short: Great app, great features, wonderful drawing experience, but in need of some UI/UX improvements. :) **Developer response:** Hi Robin ロビン, Thank you so much for your feedback. If you have turned off the Learn tab in the gallery by accident, you can turn it on using the Gear button. That'll give you both a text guide and a video to get started. You can also join our Discord to ask any questions you might have. As for the file operation, you can just swipe right on the file to open the menu instead of long-pressing. We hope this helps and can earn your extra stars :D Best ### 4/5 — Good *2026-08-18, version 2.70.1* Great but after 2 animations I need to pay to get more other than that great ### 4/5 — Idk *2026-08-15, version 2.70.1* I know it’s good but I can’t download cause my wife sucks lol. ### 5/5 — 🤩🤩🤩 *2026-08-10, version 2.69.0* I love Pixquare! I learnt about if from Viyaura on YouTube and it’s so amazing I love the style the colours and the best part? NO ADS!!! I also tried the demo ver of Pixquare colours and it was really good I love the idea! this is truly an amazing app and I highly recommend 😚😊 Keep up the amazing effort! ### 4/5 — This is GREAT *2026-08-10, version 2.69.0* To the one who made the app, This app is awesome, I get to draw what I want to draw, I’m currently making an Object show called: Pixel-O! I think you did a great job for this app. Keep up the improvement! ### 4/5 — 4 stars *2026-08-08, version 2.69.0* I love this app, but I wish you could make more files with the free version ### 5/5 — really useful! *2026-08-05, version 2.69.0* a good pixel art app that's easy to use. i've been using this for a pokemon fangame! ### 5/5 — BEST THING I EVER USED *2026-08-04, version 2.69.0* I don’t know why but this is the best pixel app I ever used in my entire existence. Even though you have to pay for more than one file , I just screenshot anyway, you guys changed my life. Ty whatever your name is. 💝 ### 5/5 — Good App ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ *2026-07-29, version 2.69.0* I’m a beginner pixel artist and this app was really simple to use, and the app is usable free and is also great for animation. Definitely recommend for any artists 🫏 ### 5/5 — Best pixel art app out there *2026-07-27, version 2.69.0* I’ve tried multiple apps for pixel art, and i have to say once you figure out (either with the tutorial or by yourself) the layout/interface, it becomes soo fun. I have been using this app on and off, but i always come back when I want to do pixel art ### 5/5 — Excelente *2026-07-27* Soy novato en el pixelart y sin duda puedo decir que esta aplicación es muy intuitiva. **Developer response:** Hi MastikPlay, Thank you so much for your 5 stars. We'll do our best to keep improving the app further. Stay tuned for future updates. Best ### 3/5 — I Love is app But… *2026-07-26, version 2.69.0* For some unknown reasons I have no opacity slider and can’t seem to get it back ### 5/5 — Love the app! Small brush sensitivity feedback *2026-07-26* Hello! Thank you so much to the author for such a wonderful drawing app! I'm really impressed by its user-friendly design. I’ve purchased the lifetime premium. However, if possible, I would be super grateful if you could tweak the brush sensitivity. I compared the overall feel with Resprite and noticed that drawing feels smoother and easier there. In Pixquare, the stroke feels a bit stiffer and breaks off too quickly. Nevertheless, Pixquare is still my top choice! Thanks again, and I wish you all the best! **Developer response:** Hi Koko Tella, Thank you so much for your review and feedback. We'll look into how we can improve our pressure sensitivity curve equation so that it works better for you. We hope you'll have a wonderful day. Best ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-07-26, version 2.69.0* NO ads, MANY features, CHILL vibes. And best of all? You don’t even need a premium subscription to do the above. If you have 2 projects you can just delete 1 of them. ### 5/5 — Works good on phone and iPad *2026-07-25, version 2.69.0* No lie ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Why do I need to pay to make more files? *2026-08-24, version 2.71.0* I only used 1 file and when I tried to get another one it told me to pay! Like why can’t you make it be 10 files before you have to pay? I’m really disappointed in this app. I had high hopes for it,and it turned out like that. ### 1/5 — I HATE IT WHY WONT IT LET ME MAKE A CANVAS IT'S HORRIBLE *2026-08-03, version 2.69.0* ZERO STAR ### 1/5 — Can’t access my artwork *2026-07-31, version 2.69.0* I was drawing and then accidentally went out of my artwork, and when I tried to go back into it, it kept telling me I needed to “upgrade” and pay money. ### 1/5 — Not usable *2026-07-23, version 2.69.0* It’s just not useable. And it’s not letting me delete it ### 1/5 — Too many distractions *2026-07-11, version 2.69.0* I could barely get through the beginning of coloring an image suggested for i guess what would be the tutorial. I could not have fun using the program because the app would pop up too many menus about doing something or “hey look at this”. Not worth my time ### 1/5 — Bro *2026-06-23, version 2.68.1* ITS TERRIBLE! It’s not free it scammed me I only got one time to do pixel art ### 1/5 — Disrespectful developer *2026-06-08* I already paid you, yet you had to put an animated icon which attracts attention to promote tip making. Disrespectful, one star for you. **Developer response:** Hi Élias de Kelliwic’h We're sorry to hear that the animated button is too intrusive for you. As soon as you tap it once, it will stop animating. We hope this helps. Best ### 1/5 — What happened to my app *2026-05-24, version 2.67.4* Why won’t it let me make a new canvas ### 1/5 — Not actually 5 *2026-05-19, version 2.67.4* Right so,i made two pixel arts and I tried to make another one but it said i have to buy something and i came from google which said you guys’ app is free and im sorry if its “helping the creator”(ehm no hate)or wtv Im just wondering do i have to pay if no then please tell me how if yes then i might Un-download the game because im broke🥹✌️Anyways,thank you for your time,Love user-AvesF16 ### 1/5 — Don’t try it! *2026-03-29, version 2.66.3* It is a bad app I can’t navigate it and I have many art apps i do not think anyone shout use this app. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Just about perfect *2026-09-02, version 2.72.0* By far the most useful, accessible, and enjoyable pixel art app i’ve come across. The amount of features available and for free no less is phenomenal, not to mention the fun additions that really gives it soul. I do have one issue regarding the opacity slider. It is missing from the display and there is no option in the settings to toggle it at all despite being on an RGB file. I am unsure if this is an error or if there is a mistake on my end, but I would greatly appreciate guidance on how to fix it (Device type is iPhone 11). 9.5/10 good stuff. ### 5/5 — Pretty good app, besides one thing. *2026-08-27, version 2.71.0* This app might actually be one of the best apps I ever used. I’d rate this thing 10/5 stars if I could. I think the only problem I have is that you have to pay $7 for full access. Sure, it’s not a lot, and it’s only one time pay, but still, you only get 2 files if you don’t pay. Of course, I got the “subscription” anyways, and it’s been one of the best choices of my life. The 7 bucks is fully worth everything this app has. ### 5/5 — 能不能上架pc端？ *2026-08-26* 我愿意再为此付费🥹🥹 **Developer response:** Hi 草履虫朋友, Thank you so much for your review. However, due to the lack of resources, we cannot make another version of Pixquare at the moment. We hope that we'll be able to do that soon at some point in the future. Best ### 5/5 — Wonderful app! *2026-08-26, version 2.71.0* There are NO ADS while using this app, be it in the free or paid version! Even in the free version there’s a lot of useful features, the UI is simple and intuitive, it really reminds me of the old IbisPaint. I’ve been using pixquare for a few monts now, and I finally decided to buy the full version some weeks ago, it’s really worth it! The theme customization is so cute too, I’m really just loving this app. I have no complaints LOL ### 5/5 — Amazing for begginers *2026-08-23, version 2.71.0* I just started practice for my video game,and this is just great ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-08-23, version 2.71.0* The fact that they add a way to move art to asperit make it better now I can draw while I’m laying down on my bed without turning on my PC this is amazingly app for pixel artist and game dev like me worth buying the full version ### 5/5 — It's pretty good! *2026-08-22, version 2.71.0* I would recommend pixquare for people who just came here to make some fun pixel art! ### 5/5 — amazing one of the best drawing apps ever *2026-08-21, version 2.71.0* title ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-08-19, version 2.70.1* The fact that they add way to imported or move to asperit make it better now I can draw while I’m laying down on my bed without turning on my PC this is amazing app for pixel arrest and game dev like me ### 5/5 — Good!!!! *2026-08-12, version 2.70.0* Using this to make a stardew valley mod, it’s perfect and has a ton of useful features :)) a bit hard to navigate at first but all art apps are like that --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
