This app is exactly what I have been looking for, I only make pixel art for occasional fun so I needed something without a subscription or any ads, This is such an adorable pixelated interface, that takes a few hours to learn what everything does, but after that it all starts to make sense and works perfectly. After my first day of using it I think it's wonderful 😊 The only thing I haven't found yet that I would like, is a way to rotate a selection in smaller increments than 90 degrees.

I'm not going to lie, this is the best pixel app that I have ever used (for free AND on Android). I needed an app that allowed me to import and export images. The fact that it even has a "does nothing on canvas" button is nice. It allows me to move around WITHOUT getting doodles on my portrait! The zoom in features and other "tabs" are so nice, too. This is exactly what I needed to work on some Sky Temple Pokemon Portraits when I don't have access to a computer.

For my intended purpose it has fulfilled my expectations (Game design and development in Godot). You can use layers for your designs and animate your pixel art. It let's you export to .PNG, .gif and .tar. Lightweight, I haven't run into performance issues so far. It's free. It doesn't collect your data. No in-app purchases (that means you can use the app offline). I'm still getting around the palettes but so far I cannot recommend it enough.
