Great app!

I really appreciated the free version of the app because it doesn’t gate anything crucial away from you. The app guides available are super helpful for someone like me who hadn’t worked with animations or pixel art. The app is customizable, intuitive, and powerful. Also it is great that the app is still being actively updated.

Best pixel art app on iPad!

Absolutely the smoothest pixel software to work with on the iPad, by far. It’s chock full of features out of the box, with regular updates and support. I can do all of my tileset and isometric game asset work on here, and nearly all of my character spritesheet work too. Highly recommend for pixel game dev artists and illustrators on iPad!

Amazing Pixel Art App

I’m just getting started with pixel art and I can already tell that this app is 100% what I need. Paid for full version after a couple of days and don’t regret it!

Non paid review 5⭐️

I happened to run across this app as a hobbyist game dev and its a godsend. The app creator is active on discord is willing to give this app their absolute best. I paid for the app after a few days (don’t usually do that) as I saw its potential and the love and care it gets, not to mention how great this app is in its current state. You just don’t see apps or their developers give this much thought and care to their product or community. Major props to the dev.
