User Reviews for Pixel Playground

Omg, such an inventive and innovative app!

I love it! It's so easy to draw what I imagine without the tools getting in the way. I drew a bird and a rabbit drawing so far, came out cute. Just very happy with this purchase! :)

Great features and interface

This really is a great pixel editor. The interface is refreshing and there’s a surprisingly robust toolset augmented with useful gesture controls. Pixel drawing is precise. The tutorials are fun and very effective at teaching the app’s features.I hope the developer gets enough interest to continue enhancing the app. A few recommendations:- The paint tool should be in the toolbar, it’s the most used tool. You could combine file and settings (or move settings to Settings) and remove the clear tool since that’s not something you want to hit accidentally (and it’s in the pencil menu anyway).- The palette and pencil menus need to be compacted so they don’t scroll. And after tapping an item the menu should dismiss.- A major grid lines option, like 8 x 8, would be helpful when you are working with specific-sized drawings. An extra bonus: isometric grid line guides.- An option to have a specific canvas size that doesn’t automatically expand or contract.- It would be nice to know the current zoom level. I can’t tell what’s 100%, if there is such a thing. The three-finger zoom out gesture will zoom in if the drawing is small. It’s confusing.

So cute but needs improvement

This app is really cute, but there are a few bugs etc. that should be worked out. whenever i export a photo to “save photo” (camera roll), the app crashes.also, there needs to be some way to easily understand the size of the canvas you’re working on. i know it’s pixelated, but whenever i get into the single pixel line drawings, they export SO small.it would be nice to work with vector resizing instead, so you can get that really nice single pixel look, and then resize your drawing so you can have a high quality image.

Perfect open pixelart playground

This is the best pixelart editor in the app store, no questions asked. The quick two finger pan/zoom and the easy access to colors make drawing pixel art a fun activity. The nice touches like long press to snag a color and double tap to "lock" a color really makes editing quick.When you realize that the canvas will grow as you need it, you suddenly ask why doesn't any other app do this.There are only a couple suggestions for my specific use case. 1. I sometimes need the canvas to be locked to a specific size, I have a very specific use for the art and need to know where the "edge" of my canvas will end up.2. Improved pallete. Right now it's great to pick and reuse colors, but I found myself trying to make a gradient of greys for a very small and specific picture. It became a bit tedious when I couldn't figure out where I was and how much to change the current color.- To help this would give me the ability to create a new color but start with the one I'm currently using (copy color?)Other than those little tweaks, this is my #1 choice for pixel art on my iPad! Thanks for the great work!

Good but annoying

Every time I go to delete a file, it comes back once I close the app!!!! Needs to be fixed because it’s a pain in the butt and it’s clogging up all my memory on my device! Other than that great app, would use it more if it weren’t for this issue!
