I really love this app it really helps me a lot but I would love it if they will just let us type what we want and then the design will be made automatically but it's a very good app for those who is very good in making design

The push festure is horrible. Lots of ads. And sadly its just a generic pixel editor app.

What’s new

New: Animation! Add frames, see the previous frame with onion skin, and set how long each frame shows. Play your animation, then export it as an animated GIF or a sprite sheet and save or share it. Undo now works across frames, and projects open faster and more reliably.
