Best pixel art app by far!
By toucantoffee (Pcmac user)
I usually don’t write reviews, but this app is so amazing I felt I had to. The interface is very convenient, and the drawing system, while different from your average drawing app, is actually really easy to use! It also prevents you from swiping accidental lines and lets you draw evenly. The posting feature is pretty nice, and lets you share your artwork with other users of the app. When starting a drawing after picking a size you can choose a starting palette you can adjust to your liking or many preset ones that look very pleasing to the eye.
Probably one of the best things about this app is that the developer actually responds to issues and fixes them, as well as adds new features frequently! The core things I feel this app is missing are the abilities to choose a custom canvas size and have more colors to set. It also really, really needs a messaging system, since most recent art is buried under arrows pointing to a message for someone. Overall, this app is certainly the best I’ve come across, but it’s very hard to get your art actually noticed amidst the chat threads.

Error messages & banning
By 박 은지 (Pcmac user)
I love the game very much, it’s addictive and love the chat feature. There is a thing concerning me though. I’m not sure if anyone else has had the glitch but, the game would randomly have an error message and log me out without doing anything. This has been happening frequently resulting me in leaving the game with frustration. As for the “banning” concern. We understand that if there is inappropriate art we can report it and have the artist take it down. However, a numerous amount of people have been leaving the game due to false reports of being a “nuisance.” We can’t put a word into our art or even a single number or letter without having a report show up. Banning is losing A LOT of your players. Therefore if this feature stays, no one will use your game anymore. I suggest if you want your players/customers to stay playing the game you get rid of the banning feature. As for if anything IS REPORTED, the art would be sent to the publishers of the game to view it before deciding if its an ACTUAL inappropriate/graphic art piece. Thank you and PLEASE fix this.

Pretty good, with a few issues
By arcoomedes (Pcmac user)
I honestly really like this app! It’s easy to use, and overall a pretty good pixel art program. Though I do have a few complaints.
First off, it could be just me but whenever I try to draw on my 128 x 128 canvas, it crashes after a while. Maybe a few minutes between each crash? It’s pretty ridiculous, and makes it really annoying to draw complicated artwork.
Second, you guys need a messaging system really badly. Whenever I open the app and hit the ‘new’ page to browse through artwork, 75% of the posts would just be people posting an arrow and talking to people through the title. And that’s honestly really annoying. You guys can just message through tumblr or twitter or whatever you have, please stop spamming the newest posts with conversations that doesn’t allow actually good artwork to be seen by the public.

Very good!!! But there’s some problems,,,
By _walsaka_ (Pcmac user)
I tried getting in after closing the app and it said an error had occurred and my heart dropped. I thought for a second that I had been banned because I’ve seen reviews about being banned extremely quick and for no reason sometimes but it was just a glitch.
I reinstalled the app and successfully logged in which left me relieved, but please fix this. I don’t want to randomly have an error appear and have to re-download the app every single time this happens. also after logging back in, all of my canvases and palettes did not save, is it possible if you could save them inside your account?
By the way, can you please add a feature where you can reply to comments? That would be great.
Also, I saw somewhere how you cannot unblock after you block someone? We are all human and humans change their minds so that would be good to change so we can unblock.
