Ratings and reviews

Great and very beginner friendly; I would recommend it to those looking to get into pixel art, though for some reason, it crashes if you use the paint bucket a lot. Some cool features to add for more experienced users would be animation/frames, the ability to copy parts of one drawing onto another, palletes, and layers. More dynamic canvas sizing would also be appreciated.

I've been using this app for 4-5 years now and it is amazing for creating pixel art when away from a computer. This app is actually what got me into making pixel art as It is very beginner friendly, intuitive, and doesn't have lots of ads (only like a banner ad at the bottom of the screen and a video ad every now and again when you leave a drawing). The only change I'd suggest would be the addition of a line tool. (Also please remove the "Great for NFTs" in the description)

It's great for creating your own pixel art! Most pixel art apps have you click and boom you've added a color and that's it and they usually require you to animate your art. This has a bucket to cover anything not colored and let's you do one at a time! It even has multiple different bit sizes so you can make as big of a sprite as you want! There are barely even any ads! The fact that a free app is better than ones you have to pay 10$ for shows how far society has fallen so just ignore that fact.
