This is a good pixel art app, but I heavily encourage the developer to look into a more user-friendly redesign. The UI is overwhelmingly cluttered with over 30 buttons that all look practically the same, making the app difficult to navigate. The menus also feel incomplete, and the same icons are used for different purposes depending on context, so it's easy to get them mixed up. The circle tool also doesn't work properly, and why can't you import a palette from a picture?

Before this app existed, I used DotPict. And while it is lovely in many ways, it's also sorely lacking in features. Enter Pixel Studio. Its aim is to be a professional-level art program, on mobile devices, for making pixel art. And it does exactly that. At worst, I had a few crashes, but the backup system ensured my work was safe. It has a wide assortment of tools, but they're never shoved in your face, and they're straightforward. Overall, I've been loving it, and will continue using it.

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). Only downside with this is time however. Great app, bought the PRO version and I dig it 👍🏿
