Save Function Doesn’t Work
I think this is a pretty cool application overall. But, the Save button doesn’t work at all on my iPhone 8 Plus. I click it and nothing happens, my hard work put into an animation does not save and I lose everything. This is very frustrating to say the least. I would like to ask the developer to please update this program to be compatible with the latest iOS release, iOS 14.5 at the time of my writing this review, and to please fix the saving bug issue. Thank you if you’ll do so and God bless. iPhone 8 Plus iOS 14.5 P.S. I also would like to request that you add an in-app purchase to permanently remove the advertisements from this application please. Thank you if you will consider adding that option.
GroddisGroovy,

Needs improvement
I was a little disappointed when I got on this app. I wish there was more colors to chose from and it would be helpful if I could have more slides for my animation. Needs a lot of improvement.
TheYeetKing,
Great app
But I would like it if you could download the animation as a gif or a video.

Prince-Vegeta,
I love the app! Great product😁
I just started pixel animation this app is pretty user friendly. Nice job.

This is hard
There are no erasers in and it’s really hard to control the animation and they need tinier styles for the pencil
