This is a great app with features comparable to Piskel for mobile, no ads, and a perfect design. I only suggest a few things to make the app better for new and old users: - Allow the buttons to be higher resolution / detail so new users know how what they are, this confused me at first (same for the text too) - Allow users to change the theme and background of the app to be any color for comparison - Allow users to change the transparency levels of previous and next frames

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.

I've only barely scratched the surface and I'm really liking it. Only gripe is the shading tool doesn't seem to work but I'm sure that will be fixed eventually. This app Def deserves some attention. Thank you for the reply. I've been using your app since my pixel edit pro for whatever reason reverted back to the unpaid version, and I'm glad it did because your app is awesome. The tilemap editor could really use something to draw the borders of the tiles but I like how it's setup otherwise.

Thanks for the feedback! With an active shading mode, you only paint above the secondary color. So the workflow is: - Use the Color Picker and tip on the color you want to shade in the canvas (sets it as secondary color) - Activate shading mode - Select shade color and start shading with a brush tool https://github.com/renehorstmann/Pixelc
