Ratings and reviews

Overall it's very good and easy to use, however, I have a very big complaint. I was basically making sprites and saved them separately as PSP files in the Backup folder. I noticed that after a certain amount the app decides to yeet files away and delete old files when saving new ones. It didn't warn me of this, and I only noticed this happening once I was about to save all the files as PNG files in one go. I lost a lot of progress due to this, so please add a note of some kind. Hope you'll do.

This app is incredibly well made. I just have one problem with the scale tool because if you try to flip the drawing by pulling one end of the draw to the other side if you know it doesn't flip it. you have to go into a menu that looks like it's not related to the scale

Not bad for a free pixel art app on Android and computer, if you can't get aseprite on PC(19.99 USD not including other prices) or prefer using phone/Android, it's understandable as not everyone has a drawing tablet or a pc for that matter. I do dislike the features hidden by paywall, seems unnecessary for some of the things to be paid for to be honest, has a lot of drawing tools for free anyway. Not really intrusive ads, the pixel network is fine too, a decent community over there. 4/5 overall.
