I CANT ANIMATE

I can’t animate my phones screen is to small to see the animate stuff can you PLEASE HELP my making it where you can scroll to see the animation stuff

No Undo … Not ready for prime time.

Table stakes for an image editor is undo. Must be able to map it to a keystroke or action. The tool looks interesting otherwise, would love to revise this review if the product meets the minimum bar.

Best pixel art app ever

Wow just wow I used to have the 32 pixel art app when I got this ‘good bye 32 out the window you go’The UI great Tools great app in general great I think you’d should also make a pixel animation software as well I hope you see this and like this review.👾👾👾👾

I love

10 out of 10 except for one thing. I’m trying to upload one of my sprites in the import tab but when I click the button it doesn’t do anything. I still love this app and it’s great for making simple sprites for coding games or animations

Didn’t save

It asked to save. Chose save. It didn’t save.

Animating

Seems pretty good, but is there a way I could animate with it?

Poor Quality. Crashes, Transparency Wrong

This is a very poor app. The Transparency leaves colours behinds, so it actually creates a grid, not a tranparency, making it impossible to craft sprites.

Further, just creating a new document seems to crash the app. I think this is the first time I will have ever had to ask Apple for a Refund.

Crashes when creating a new document

Using macOS Ventura the app crashes when creating new documents.

App crashes upon launch.

When I attempt to launch the app on my Mac (OS is Monterey version 12.2.1) the app crashes less than a second after the sprite editor screen loads.

I attempted to reach out to the developer through the email provided on the support page of their website, however the email apparently doesn't exist as my message was bounced back to me.

I would really like to use this app as it seems like it could be extremely useful if it were to work, so I will happily change my review if a solution is brought to my attention.
Thanks

Reported a bug and got it fixed within a week

Read title. The guy who makes this is fairly responsive.

good but there are some small issues

It works well but there is no undo button, zooming in/out is weird and doesn't work with a mouse.

Almost the Best

This sprite editor is phenomenal, but is missing some features that even free pixel art apps have. Here are some suggestions that I have.
1. Resize canvas / art
This is probably the most basic one. Just being able to resize the canvas would be great.
2. Import photo
Maybe be able to import a picture from inside the editor or something?
3. Animation?
I’ve seen two apps so far that support animation within the app. That is all.
4. issue
sprites won’t export as transparent

That’s all I have. Other than these (especially number 1), this is a great app!

Great

I like the pixels in and it helps me draw, but the only thing I wish it had was where you can make an animation with the pixels, like an old video game. But it overall a great drawing app. Thank you for making this.

Failed to import sprite

Just got this app and it is unusable. When you click the + icon to create a new sprite it says failed to import sprite.

Almost There !

I wish there is an animation tool .. and more updates .. Keep going

Straight Forward, intuitive, and simple

Does exactly what you want it to do and it does it well.

Really good app!

This is a really good pixel art app! It is perfect for beginners, and pros alike! I didn’t get the app for what I am about to report, but I wanna say this anyway so maybe you can fix it. Whenever I search for something, using search, it crashes. This is the same case for my brother too, so maybe you can fix it in the future! But overall, 5 star app except the crashing.

Simple but completely functional

This app is very simple to use, but it does everything that I was hoping it could and more! It is well worth the money.

wow

Wow

Amazing app.

Not sure how this became free, I’ve been meaning too buy it for a month however, I checked today however and it became free.

Have been working on textures all day and I love using this app, it would have been well worth the purchase if I had, it’s a breeze and very easy too use.

Some of the icons overlap on iPhone SE, not important but worth a note.
