Pixaki 3 (Legacy)

Worked great but the color picker has stopped working and i cant fix it

The update to pro 4 thats offered at a discounted price, doesn’t currently work. Apple charges $31 instead of the $6 please fix this.

The app seems to be the best option for iPad, however it is far from perfect and the price is pretty steep considering the tools available. In my eyes there are two main things that this app is missing. The first being some kind of free selection or lasso tool. Currently the only thing available is a box selection which feel strange to use coming from Photoshop and Asprite. The second issue is the brush and fill tools don’t have opacity setting which for me helps with blending colors. Don’t get me wrong the app is pretty solid but has just a few shortcomings. However after some research I noticed the developer has been promising these features for over 2 years. Makes me a bit nervous that they may never be implemented.

I am really enjoying the simplicity of this program. It is my favorite out of all of the iPad apps for pixel art. The only tool for me that is missing would be a lasso tool. Otherwise would be a 5/5!

I found this app frustrating to use. Not unusable in the slightest, but at $25 enough for me to request a refund. Lots of erroneous input from my hand on the screen, managing layers is a bit clunky. All the tools you should need are present in the app, I just couldn’t establish a good workflow.

Good start but I’m expecting a lot more free features for the price that we paid because it’s kind of lacking now

I love the clean interface, and overall it's a great app. I've been using it over a year now to make art for a game in addition to Photoshop. It's pretty effective for large projects as long as they don't get too complex. The shape options like the line and circle work great! It exports to PSD nicely but doesn't import as well. Still, I've used it for months and it's mostly a pleasure. But I have a lot to say with regards to what it lacks. I wouldn't bother if I didn't like the app to begin with. Pixaki is missing many basic tools found in programs a third of its price. There's no lasso tool, so you can only select a rectangle and can't even add or subtract from the selection. You can't select based on color (magic wand), which is critical for pixel art. I'm far from the only person who desires these “features”. There's also no layer grouping or blending effects like soft light. At least there's a continuous/discontinuous option with the paint bucket. The option is clearly labeled, too. The animation tool is fluid, the app is fun and easy to use. But it's kind of pricey. I'm shocked that for the price of a professional piece of software, this app is missing important functionality. The developers don't seem to be responding to the community's call for support in these areas. It's too bad, this could be the pixel art equivalent of Procreate. Like Aseprite but for iOS. As pixel art apps go, this one still seems to be the best one. A bit overpriced, kind of underfunctioning and yet the only real thing out there. Please Razer, please make this app better!

But it’s missing some basic features like Copy/Paste, lasso tool, and others that have been covered in many other reviews. Fortunately there are other apps that fill the gap. For the price and the amount of time that’s passed and still no basic features, I’d say look elsewhere.

Missing even basic digital art features (no clipping mask, alpha lock, color selection, real palette use in the art work, brush customization, selection scaling, etc.) difficult to use for even basic things with a very unappealing ui. Way over priced, it’s probably better to just set up procreate for pixel art and make do.

Okay I use this app a LOT and I do enjoy it most of the time but there are some issues. One of the most common annoyances is that the eraser will act as a pencil, aka I go to erase and end up drawing more. It’s not that intrusive but gets old really quick. Then there is no ability to us the color drop on reference images, when doing sprite work this is annoying as I have to go in and write down each colors hex code when I could just color match a reference imagine. Then the whole color palettes is annoying and obtuse to use. Finally this isn’t a bad thing but a suggestion; there should be a special tool for gradient shading, it’s ridiculous to have to go by hand and place a pixel every other space on canvases as large as 1024x786... it would be a great feature and I’ve used similar on things like photoshop. Still I love this app and will continue using it! Just hope something things get ironed out
