### 1/5 — It’s good I guess bro

*2026-08-19, version 1.59*

It’s good I haven’t used anything else so… but it’s good works and everything 
 Little to no glitches very professional but then again I’m not a professional so who am I to say? But then again I am makeing a game with it does that make me professional? Probably not anyway it’s a cool app bro or sis? Or other if you want (: okay this was probably the most stoopid review you’ve ever read so welcome to me/ hurray okay bye. Is that how you end a review? No? I don’t give a **** (: I don’t swear in real life lol goodbye

### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-08-15, version 1.59*

Love this app. The new update is fantastic. I now only use this app.

### 5/5 — I love it

*2026-08-03, version 1.59*

I’m bin doing YouTube video an this is the best one yet

### 4/5 — Great app just missing a couple of things!

*2026-07-23, version 1.58*

So far I’m loving this app! I think it’s on par with Aseprite which is incredible! Only a couple of things would be great and that if you could place windows in a dock spot out of the way of working space and if there was a button you could alpha lock the layer so only the drawn part can still be edited.!

### 5/5 — いろいろ試した結果

*2026-07-18*

ユーザーインターフェイスが直感的でわかりやすく、機能も充実している。ドット絵を描く事に集中出来る。一押しです。

### 1/5 — My review

*2026-07-17, version 1.58*

Idk how to use it. It’s very difficult. And it won’t let me delete!

### 4/5 — Great with a few niggles

*2026-07-14, version 1.58*

The best full featured pixel editor for mobile that’s allowed me to be productive and create assets literally anywhere. It’s got a fantastic amount of functionality.

It’s not without some niggles though. Some functions/options seemingly have no explanation and finding help isnt intuitive. And the amount of times i’ve accidentally tapped and hidden all my layers only to have to spend 5 minutes enabling them one by one again in complex artworks back to how it was, has been enough to make me cry. I also don’t like the fact it shoved a massive splash screen in my face asking me to share on social media over and over again at random … i paid money for the app, this isn’t ok.

So it could do with some tightening up for smaller screens, and an absolute UNDO.

I also would love to know what option makes layer FX sometimes be totally ignored when adding them to a group —or sometimes not. I would recommend it though.

### 5/5 — Been using it for 3 years straight

*2026-07-12, version 1.58*

Genuinely the best art software you can find on mobile been able to gradually improve my art with it overtime highly recommended

### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2026-07-09, version 1.58*

I’ve just started using it, and I don’t write reviews often, but this app is incredible. It’s easy to animate on, and great if you’re looking for something similar to asprite but on iPad. It’s got folders which is an amazing help for me as I’m creating game assets, its tools and layout are easy to use, and customisable. And this is all before buying the premium version. It can export into so many types of files as well which is so freeing. I’d recommend this 1000% if you want to make pixel art on mobile/ipad.

### 4/5 — 还行

*2026-07-04*

整体来说还行，上色也还行，但我不知道怎么开图层，能冒昧问一下吗👉👈

**Developer response:** 双击已有的图层头，会出菜单。
