I hate to be a spoilsport but this app should not have been released yet. True it is a beta, but to the uninitiated or inexperienced this app is a no go!. There are no instructions, suggestions etc. If you have never used an app like this you will be lost! If you are experienced in this type of artwork it is adequate, especially because it is free, for now. There are other choices that are much, much better, yes they do cost something. Not all of them are expensive. One last comment, in this age of attractive apps, this one is coyote ugly. That is something that I am sure will be dealt with in the future…but for now I would stay away form this app, especially if you are a beginner!

Amazing tool! So quick and simple. I really like how it allows you to blend colors. The layering system is also very cool. Nice work :)

This is a really nice pixel editor. Well planned and designed. I like the popup HUD for tools, colors, layers, etc. Speedy to work with.
