User reviews
The tools are really emersive to use to make sprites for making a art on a game.
One of the best drawing experiences I had so far on a Smartphone, amazing! Recommended!
Awsome but it could use some stencils
Well done🤓u guys really put some thought into this one👌
Perfect for all your pixel art image editing and creating needs. I bought pro just before making this review and while it isn't required to use the app to the fullest extent. I'm happy to support the devs. Great product, guys!
I really like it, i can make stupid gifs. Well worth it. It's fairly easy to use. I made two animated gifs in less than an hour and was posting them pretty easily. Downside is that i couldnt send stuff over facebook messenger, but that might be a good thing in terms of ownership. Posting stuff on discord worked easy...
