I'm not going to lie, this is the best pixel app that I have ever used (for free AND on Android). I needed an app that allowed me to import and export images. The fact that it even has a "does nothing on canvas" button is nice. It allows me to move around WITHOUT getting doodles on my portrait! The zoom in features and other "tabs" are so nice, too. This is exactly what I needed to work on some Sky Temple Pokemon Portraits when I don't have access to a computer.

Theres a few very finnicky things with the file system and saving/loading, such as it not being able to save as previously created file, the file saved as a pnf being inaccessible as png unless you make sure to type .png in its filename and its upload retains the old upload even if the uploaded file changes. but the rest of the app was exactly what Im looking for in a mobile pixel art making app and the dev is quite responsive to feedback

Thanks for the feedback :) What exactly do you mean with the finnicky file loading things? Pixelc is using the system filepicker...

The only issue I have with this app is the inability to create more than 9 tabs, if there was the option to create as many tabs as you want, I would change my rating to 5 stars because it is otherwise perfect and has all the features you could ask for in a mobile pixelart app!
