## Review summary

8bit Painter - Pixel Art is loved for its simple, enjoyable pixel-art workflow and usefulness for crafts and image-to-pixel conversions, with handy save/print options. However, reviews frequently mention intrusive ads in the free version and issues with importing images (crashes and missing import features), which detracts from the experience.

### Pros

- Easy to learn and use with an intuitive interface.
- Fun and engaging pixel-art experience that’s great for passing the time.
- Very useful for craft patterns (knitting, beading, baby blankets) and turning images into pixel art.
- Save and print capabilities for artworks are convenient.
- Simple, lightweight tool that users repeatedly come back to for quick projects.

### Cons

- Ads in the free version can be intrusive and sometimes show suspicious or inappropriate content (e.g., hacking messages).
- Importing images is problematic: the app can crash when importing, and users would like image import support.
