Comments
I wouldve given this a full 5 stars, however it needs more features and a few fixes. One of the features would be when selecting colors. I wish to be able to make a custom palette so I don't have to try and replicate colors all of the time. Another feature would be a hex bar where you would type a code to get the color you want. There is a bug in the app where if I import a file, the colors are not how they were in the file. I don't know if this is intentional or not, but I hope this gets fixed.
This is probably the best and easiest mobile pixel art app! One problem, there's no way to select multiple pixels. So if you're making a bunch of characters, and you accidentally make a character slightly to the left from what you wanted, you have to remake that character. Add a way to select multiple pixels, and I give it a better rating.
This app is amazing for the wide variety yet small complexity this has to offer. It had a color wheel, large pixel limit, frame-by-frame animation feature, and even a simple image import/export mechanic. I will easily give it's well deserved five star rating, but I think that the only thing that could complete this app to its full potential is by adding a transparency feature where a color's transparency can be changed.
I've been using this app for a few years now, on various Google accounts and devices, and it has been amazing. I would love to give 5 stars from my own experiences, but I give it 4 because new users are likely to encounter a bug with the color sliders, where shifting between the color change screens and any other screen repeatedly will slightly darken the color until the sliders each hit a multiple of 51. I have gotten used to it, but I feel that it should be fixed to be a bit more precise.
It's good, it runs smoothly and doesn't have popup ads that block the screen, allows for a very wide range of different colors, making animations is pretty easy, although changing the fps is kinda confusing. You can change the size of the canvas easily. Overall I have had my expectations of this app blown out of the water and I have very little complaints. Although there is a wide range of colors, it would be excellent if more slots for colors were added for making more sophisticated artworks.
I never go out of my way do do stuff like reviews or comments on stuff like apps, but I have to say, this app is exceptional at what it does. It's incredibly easy to use, yet is as in-depth as you'd need it to be. I use this quite often for creating cross stitch patterns and it works wonderfully. It's a pretty uncomplicated app, so there's not much to say, but I use it all the time and it works great. The ads are really unobtrusive, all the features work as intended, it's overall really good.
although the app is great for small projects, I found it a little disappointing that you can't change the size of your drawing. I wish that a feature for that could be added in the future. as far as pixelating a photo from my gallery goes, I found that part to work very well, and I think that's the only reason I gave this more than three stars.
