This app also contains a lot of minor usability improvements:

- when using the fill (bucket) tool, dragging will switch to pencil
- when the eraser is selected, changing color will switch to pencil
- when drawing using the pencil, the app will interpolate between tap event locations to draw an uninterrupted line
- tap anywhere outside of the selection to apply it
Feel free to email me if you can think of more usability changes to streamline your pixel art creation process.

Questions & Answers
Q: What is an APK File?
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

User's Reivew
5 ★This is for sure the best pixel art app available, I chose this one after trying out 6 others and I am so impressed! Can't wait for layering, grid toggle icon and a few other things. Keep up the awesome work!
5 ★I'm making Android games, and want to create my own sprites. I've got an S Pen, and this worked PERFECTLY! I'm able to save my files and use BitSync, the new sprites appear directly in my project folder. This app is worth every penny. Great job, author!
4 ★I bought this for Minecraft. I'm constantly making and changing item textures, and this works perfectly for that job. But for what you get, I feel this is a bit overpriced, and is the only reason I deducted a star.
3 ★This app is a good start to a pixeling program, but it needs a bit of work to be perfect. I'd like to see more support for drawing tablets, such as the Cintiq Companion Hybrid, with the addition of pressure sensitive pixel brushes that allow size and shape changes, a cursor for where the pen is hovering on the canvas, and a pen-only mode to avoid the stray pixels a hand creates. A 1 point pencil and a fill tool aren't a lot of options to choose from when it comes to pixeling. Shape tools and brushes will allow for a much nicer array of things to draw with. I also have an issue where after selecting something, my view will jump to the middle of the canvas, which is certainly not ideal. It's irritating to be forced to have one corner of the canvas stuck in a certain potion (such as next to the toolbars) when moving it and zooming in; most drawing programs don't restrict you to where your canvas can be. When zoomed out all the way on a 512x512 canvas, the transparency pattern causes an irritating blur. Look at how Photoshop treats it—the checker pattern is a standard size through all levels of zoom, creating a clear line where transparency is, and not this app's splotchy grey.
4 ★Zoom buttons rather than relying on pinching would make this near perfect
4 ★Features required for a 5* Rating: 1: More responsive to S-Pen, 2: Animation, 3: Layers, 4: Onion-Skinning, 5: Larger possible canvas size. As a game developer, myself, I would gladly pass this app's name around to get it exposure once these are added. This could end up being the GO TO android solution for sprite creation. Unimportant thing I would like to see: 1: More professional icon. Could draw more attention from potential customers ;)
5 ★Thanks for the reply and I will change my rating to 5
4 ★Needs some things more to be complete.
4 ★I have the HTC One M8 so screen space needs to be used well (compared to a tablet). As much as I love this app and so far it seems best out of all the competition, when I try to do a max size image (512x512) the preview box gets so big it fills the entire bottom of my screen, leaving me barely any room to work. I couldn't find a way to make it dissappear entirely when I don't need it. For smaller sprites this is less of an issue since the preview isn't as large but would still be nice for the extra space.
5 ★I can see this app being very useful. It gives you intuitive control over your pixel art, and it works great on my LG G2. The user interface is beautiful and fits Android well. It functions great as-is, but it'd be cool if there was some kind of select tool for moving sets of pixels. It would be very helpful for me. Still, this is an amazing app! Never expected to be making pixel art on my phone so easily!
4 ★This is almost exactly what I need. I have to use it with another app to do all my pixel work. I love the simple interface with this app but it needs some more features. Selecting and copy and pasting would be awesome! Layers would be great too.
3 ★The app is solidly built, and performs well, with a minimal UI. However, it lacks features that would allow it to perform it as a companion to a desktop app, or even a go-to app. The palette is limited to 18 colors, and lacks the ability to import or export presets, making it hard to work with popular 32 color palettes, like dawnbringer 32, or Arne 32. The inability to change the background color and the inability to zoom out to a 1:1 view hinder its use for more complex pieces, and the canvas size picker makes it a annoying and time consuming process to pick larger image sizes. It's a great toy, but has a while to go before it's competent as an editor.
