## Review summary

The app is praised for its easy-to-use interface, strong animation and GIF capabilities, ad-free experience, and flexible color palettes with Lospec import. Users value its potential for pixel art, thumbnails, and quick animations. However, there are frequent stability concerns with crashes during use, and many reviewers request essential tools that are currently missing (measuring, symmetry, crop/resize, rotate, path plotting, and transparent sprites). Addressing stability and feature completeness would align the app with the needs of more advanced pixel-art creators while keeping its approachable feel.

### Pros

- Easy to use and beginner-friendly interface.
- Strong animation tools and GIF maker for pixel art and cutscenes.
- Ad-free experience with no mandatory online payments.
- Palette flexibility with Lospec import support.

### Cons

- Crashes and stability issues during use (crashing after short sessions to frequent crashes).
- Missing essential tools repeatedly requested: measuring, symmetry, crop/resize, rotate freely, path plotting, and transparent sprites.
