### 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.!

### 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.

### 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。

### 2/5 — Many issues despite best in market

*2026-06-18, version 1.58*

Backup is wildly inconsistent, data loss is imminent the moment the app enters the background. No recycle bin or recently deleted temp folder; if you accidentally select something you don’t want to delete there is no good way to catch that due to UI design. 

The app’s design and functionality compels me to treat it like it’s “broken” and to assume all of my projects could be randomly deleted at any moment, due to the app’s instability and poor backup system. 

Also, tiled mode was broken in the last update. It does not work anymore. That’s integral for pixel art. 

Despite all of these issues, there is no better alternative for iOS or iPadOS, thus giving my 2nd star.

### 5/5 — Amazing amazing!!!!!!

*2026-06-12, version 1.58*

This was such a fun app and it was such an amazing app I loved it soooooo much

### 5/5 — Basically Aseprite for iPad

*2026-06-11, version 1.58*

Thank you

### 5/5 — Very good animation tool

*2026-06-08, version 1.58*

Previous ask answered! The program Feels professional I bought a subscription and I enjoy the software. :)

### 4/5 — Very nice

*2026-05-31, version 1.57*

It’s like procreate and ibis paint x had a baby. I like the customization options. I wish there was a more in-depth tutorial lol that’s it.

### 3/5 — 手感差

*2026-05-24*

手感不好，还有那个辅助网格怎么回事，我建个816的画布那个辅助网格设置条直接给我塞到边边角角去，点都点不到气死了

### 5/5 — Easily the best pixel art tool

*2026-05-23, version 1.57*

It’s just really refreshing to see a pixel art suite done right- easily customizable interface, easy exports, everything ya need and then some. Regular updates, and a classy UI to boot. Exactly what I needed for sprite design!

### 5/5 — The BEST app for ALL pixel art types!

*2026-05-18, version 1.56*

I’ve been using this app for quite a while now, and it’s been so great!! I can easily access and edit my art, and I can customise my set up and canvas, and it’s so aesthetic overall. Highly recommend!

### 5/5 — It’s a drawing app!

*2026-05-16, version 1.56*

This app is awesome for pixel art! I learned to animate on it and it works great! It has all the tools you could want, and if you’re not using it for business or exporting things it’s free! It costs a little money but it’s definitely worth it.

### 5/5 — Very good

*2026-05-13, version 1.56*

Great for pixel rating I guess. It’s very reasonable not so much magic but does its job perfectly

### 5/5 — Fish

*2026-05-12, version 1.56*

Nah I don’t want to write a review but thanks for asking

### 3/5 — It’s still not working

*2026-05-12, version 1.56*

I cant make more frames idk it’s just not working

### 4/5 — Absolutely wonderful

*2026-05-01, version 1.55*

This app is wonderful for people beginning to do pixel art. It’s easy to navigate, easy to use, and is free to download. The only downside is that to unlock the full potential of everything in the app you need to buy premium, but overall, this app is a must have for people starting pixel art.

### 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!

### 1/5 — Bad app! It’s lies!

*2026-07-03, version 1.58*

The app say say resprite but I got no sprite and it diddnt refill the sprite can!

### 1/5 — I am tired of being asked for a rating and review so you get 1 star for being pushy. Enjoy!

*2026-05-26, version 1.57*

See above

### 1/5 — Incompatible for old iPads

*2026-05-16, version 1.56*

I need iOS 1.16 to use this but this iPad is very old and i cant use it...

### 1/5 — Was good until I met a deplorable oversight.

*2026-02-26, version 1.52*

if you delete the wrong folder on accident in finder when trying to clear storage they’re unrecoverable :)))))) even though every single other app you have ever downloaded
has recoverable files when you accidentally delete them this one for some strange reason does not! that is fine i will just have to re do thousands of hours of work in a different app somehow goodbye forever you ruined my life.

### 1/5 — Money

*2026-01-24, version 1.51*

This is so dumb you should make it free for uploading videos of animation, 1 star

### 1/5 — How it’s not loading my character sprites from a folder

*2025-09-05, version 1.49*

It’s not loading my new character sprites in, I put the folder in and it has the sprites but not showing it

### 1/5 — Be Careful

*2025-03-25, version 1.44*

I cancelled my subscription and they still  charged me even after receiving a refund. Shady.

### 1/5 — Tricks you into having to pay

*2025-02-07, version 1.43*

It doesn’t warn you ahead of time but lets you spend a bunch of time creating sprites and then forces you to pay if you want to save them. I’ve never been more upset with a program in my life. Don’t waste the time. Wow I’m never going to get those days I spent building these characters back. I could’ve easily just used a different program to make them and then I’d actually have something to show for all my work.

### 1/5 — Broke the app

*2025-01-19, version 1.43*

New update just broke the app and all my stuff just deleted itself . So yeah. Never usung this again

### 5/5 — Phenomenal

*2026-08-23, version 1.59*

I use this for my pixel art and animation. It’s got good tools and options, but it’s not overwhelming, I can control how crazy I wanna get. SUPER USER FRIENDLY. U can use it for free (with the exception of some things being restricted obviously) but when I first used it premium was only $0.99 monthly. That’s amazing. They’ve upped it to 2.99 I think now monthly but you can do a LIFETIME PAYMENT FOR $30??? COUNT ME IN!!! Way to go Resprite, I love you!!! My ride or die, truly

### 5/5 — Very good!

*2026-08-23, version 1.59*

I have no real complaints, and it works very well.

### 5/5 — 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

### 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。

### 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.

### 5/5 — Very good so far!

*2026-06-19, version 1.58*

I’ve only done 3 drawings, but so far the app has been easy to use and effective. The only thing I would like to see is a shading tool.

### 5/5 — Good, But Just One Thing…

*2026-06-17, version 1.58*

It’s a great app! I love making pixel art on it. But, sometimes when I close the app it deletes my files / sprites and I have to start from Scratch.
