Just about perfect

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.

Good

This is a very good app. The only thing that I don’t like is that you have to pay to have more than two pictures.

Pretty good app, besides one thing.

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.

Wonderful set of features, but confusing UI

This tool is by far the best and most professional tool for creating pixel art on the iPad. 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. :)

Response from developer

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

Response from developer

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
