Annoyingly asks me for permission to paste from Photomator every time I open this app.

TheBradAU on

Australia

I have denied it access 10 times but it annoyingly asks me for permission to paste from Photomator every time I open this app.

Removes my work

Oliviarose- on

Australia

When I click into files that I am doing randomly it will just delete all the work I have done. I have stopped using the app for important things as there is such a risk that once I have finished everything my work won’t be there next time I try to access it.

Please add dark mode icon.

Please add a dark mode app icon for iOS 18!!!

Creating layers severely pixelates photos

Spoodge on

Australia

Created a whole document and spent ages trying to work out the issue. No idea what the problem is. Import image as its own layer and its crystal clear. Add more layers and they pixelate making it useless. Great magic select which is the sad part about it.

Getting worse

Creating a new image and now I can't find it again...updates just makes things worse

My favourite app is ruined now

gogogrrrl on

Australia

My heart is broken. I used to be able to do such fine work in Pixelmator, but sometime in the last 2 years they’ve ruined the clone tool, you position the anchor but then as soon as you go to the target area the anchor moves to the target area & literally bobs around with the cursor. It’s unusable. Copy & paste is also bizarre now, it pastes to a random point outside the image & you have to go & find it & try to move it back in without distorting it. I’m going to have to find another app, or just learn Photoshop. I literally only use Pixelmator now to ‘repair’ out the occasional light socket etc from a background because the iOS native photo editor still doesn’t have a repair tool.

Problem with .jpg files?

PatinKansai on

Australia

Really wanted to like this. Tried opening 2 .jpg files from google drive. It starts and hen say an error occurred. (Code 3 I think. The files are fine and open in other apps.

NO LONGER SAVES ANY FILES!

gregaus on

Australia

This app used to be fantastic. But with each software update, it’s degraded to the point it no longer saves new files to my iPad. When I reported it to the developers, they did not believe me and kept telling me to check my iPad as it “must be saved somewhere.” It’s not. I checked every single folder for the files I created using this app and they’re nowhere to be found. I’m certain I’m not the only person having this issue. It’s one thing to have a major issue like this, it’s another to be told I’m wrong.

Decent app, but no Crop tool? Come on..

Sbrt on

Australia

I’ve used this for years, and it’s generally a solid app, but I’ve noticed in recent versions there’s no tool to directly crop an image like there used to be (either that, or there’s a bug preventing it from showing anywhere in the app. This is a really, really basic function of an app and as a result, I can’t really use this, because cropping a section of an image square is important because it’s how I have been creating avatars for years.

Such great app
