#pixelish #pixelishapp Pixelish is a novel and easy to use bit map image editor that allows you to layer filters to create custom glitch effects. Applying filters is easy with the push of a single button. You can pixelate, apply one of the six custom filters, adjust color and orientation, or apply many filters at once to completely glitch out your image. Manipulate your image in a unique way to create unexpected results that are not quite the original pixels, but more pixel-ish. I would really like to know what you think of Pixelish, love it or hate it, please email me with thoughts. nidalfakhouriapps@gmail.com

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Pixelish at none against Slidezilla's 1. Pixelish also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.4 vs 4.1). Slidezilla's advantage is update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 13 months) and ratings volume (247 vs 24). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
