Definitely the best pixel art app I've used. It's free and has all the same features that a lot of other apps I used forced pay or subsciption for basic things like layers. I will say though that you may need to pay to make animations, there are some things you can't access without that, which is fine. I'm very grateful for the features allowed in free mode and I don't have the patience for animation lol I've never encountered any issues using this either

Best purchasing decision I've made in some time! I'm having so much fun. It has tons of features neatly tucked away for you to naturally discover as you go on. Unfortunately, my phone is quite old and tends to crash Pixel Studio when I try to switch between apps/reference material. Luckily the app's autosave and autorecovery features are solid enough that I've never lost a single pixel of work.

You can use this app for a variety of things...making 2D characters for an indie game, coloring photos of real life images...it's a real swiss army knife app. Only gripe is...you cannot use the fill bucket option to fill in an object that wasn't drawn in app..as it doesn't recognize the pencil or pen drawn object as a shape, but more so a cluster of pixels:(sometimes only one pixel). Also, any project larger than 1000 x 1000 makes the app buggy and slow...will there be a patch for this?
