This is helpful

This app is great but sometimes it locks you out of your art if you rename it. The file still exists but you can’t open it. If you want to open it you have to put .poti at then end of the name and it should let you back in.

Please help!

I got this app a few days ago and had been really liking it as it was easy and incredibly intuitive to use, but today I made the mistake of trying to rename one of the files I had created. For whatever reason, this locked me out of being able to further open and edit my art. By trying to rename the file it created a folder on my iPad which it then placed the file in, and then renamed the file to “cover”? I don’t understand why this happened or how to undo it, and I’m upset by this because I really don’t want to lose access to my art. Aside from this the app has been working well.

All the basics

Easy to use interface, no ads, very lightweight in a good way. The only thing I think is really missing is a way to save/load color palettes, since you may want to draw in different styles. (Gameboy palette, PICO-8 palette, etc)

使い続けてみようと思う

①カラーパレットを予めいくつか用意しておいてほしいです。web216とかAppleの色鉛筆みたいなものとか、もっと減らしてセピアカラー8色とか。デフォルトがスライダーはキツい。 ②描画色は、色1、色2の2カラーを設定して、色1の点をタップしたら色2に置き換える。Win3.1のペイントの挙動。色2には透明色も設定可能、ができたらより便利かと思います。 それが実装されるまでは使い続けてみようかと思います。

Neat app with some flaws

Sometimes it tries too hard to do an extra step for me, and most of the time I have to correct those using extra steps: 1. Creates a new layer whenever I copy a selection. I don't need a new layer. 2. Switches to Move tool whenever I create a new rectangle. I don't need to move it. 3. Switches to Draw tool, rather than Select tool, after using Move tool. I don't need to draw yet. It will be great to have settings to turn those off.

Goodbye, Freemium!

This app has been wonderful to use. The number of tools you have at your disposal, the ability to make groups and layers, and the ease of access make this seem like something you’d need to pay for in order to use to its full potential, but that couldn’t be more untrue. The little bar at the bottom for ads is so non-intrusive, and it isn’t constantly pestering you to give the app your money. Instead, sitting neatly among the list of settings is a simple “in-app purchases” tab, and the only thing it has is remove ads for $4.99. Although that may sound like a ton to just remove ads, it’s better to see this as a way to support the developer of this amazing app. Even if you don’t purchase this, the ads are relegated to the bottom of the screen, so the whole experience remains uninterrupted (unless you accidentally tap the banner). This is by far the best free app I have ever seen on the App Store, ever.

I love the app wonderful and great for coloring and drawing but hold up…. 👀 seriously, whenever I save/ export a drawing to my camera roll it’s all blurry and weird, and I compare it to my other photos/screenshots and it looks 5 times worse! It’s not a super big problem because I can always screenshot but I prefer saving it.

シンプルで必要十分

使えるツールはほぼ不足なく、レイヤー機能も、アニメーション機能も十分に使えて便利です。 ただ、スマホを扱う人体との兼ね合いというか、アクセシビリティに少し難があります。 ・画面上部に触れるのはアクセスし難いので、設定画面からではなく、ツール選択のところでペンの太さを選べる機能が欲しい。 ・2本指での拡大縮小は、直感的な操作感があるけれども、スマホの持ち方を変えるために1アクション挟まなければならないので、1本指で拡大縮小出来たら便利だと思う。 ・実際にドットを打っている部分は指で隠れてしまうため、タッチした場所から塗る場所を上にズラすような、インターバルを設けるツールが必要。

Best pixel app on the App Store!

Very efficient pixel art, easy to navigate. My main art program Procreate cannot handle pixel art well so I decided to download this and I don’t regret it! Colours are easy to pick and I love the small detail of giving a small guide of the tool when clicking on it for the first time. Overall, an amazingly made tool for pixel art.

Option to Organize Starred Colors

I really love this app and use it a lot. It's straightforward and convenient, allows you to do a lot without being overwhelming. I only ask that you make it so we can drag and organize our favourited/starred colours, and also that we can reupload pixel animations. But mostly the first. It's really frustrating to have to reorganize everything but deleting and restarring. But otherwise, good app.

There are many features for making colors but less to use them nicely. It would be an huge advancement to just add a tool with you can easily bright or dark an chosen space and also an customizable interface like an color tablet.

Whenever I look at other apps they have “pixel art” freedom. It doesn’t allow you to save it in a higher resolution. With this app I feel like I create create a lot of cool different things. :) Now I’m just waiting for the version where I can do 1024 x 1024 pixels. 😝✌️ lol. (i’d also like to add that I do also use “Pixelable” when I’m creating my arts which is awesome made by the same creator.)

Decent!

Good job on the development of this app! I think it functions pretty well for basic pixel art creation and I look forward to the future improvements. The UI is much better compared to the last pixel art app you created! The only suggestions I have are: 1) add a function where pinching can rotate the canvas as well (although I thought it’s already implemented according to your app description, so it might be a bug?) 2) add a color palette function - it was in the previous app if Ikm not mistaken, and I think it helps a lot 3) the color selection resets to “picker A” every time you want to select a new color even if the user want to make it stay on RGBA or HSBA, if possible please make it stay on whichever option the user last used Best of luck!
