The best pixel art creator out there, by a mile. Let me just add to my review. Pixel art has never been so easy or accessible before this app came along. I probably use it more than Paint SAI and Photoshop. Also my pixel art has improved by a tonne since using this. It's fantastic and no other app is as good imo. Not only that, the adverse aren't too obnoxious and you can pay a few dollars to get rid of them. Fantastic!

I really enjoy using this app, it's not frustrating, there aren't any bugs, and the layout is pleasant to look at. I do have a small suggestion though, it would be really nice if you could adjust the onion skins' opacity since I find it to be too small of a change. This isn't a major issue, and the I can just adjust the opacity of the previous frame, but it's not as efficient. Overall, it's my favourite animation app, and I look forward to seeing it grow and improve :)

Amazing digital design app, a small learning curve but very easy to pick up. You can create detailed images, with various layers with ease. Animating is easy and allows for detailed, precise and smooth movement animation. The only cons are the move and zoom in/out buttons get in the way sometimes and saving is a bit awkward, but nothing unmanageable. This app is so good the few cons don't lower my rating to 4 stars. One thing that is add would be a gradient brush for easier colour blending.
