Best app. Plz add Transparency Background PLZ!!!

I've tried out several pixel creator apps and I've find this one to be appealing and interesting. However, I do have one gripe and that is when I upload my imported .PNG file, it uploads the transparent background as white background instead of transparent. And the other problem is that when I export the same file, it's background is uploaded as white instead of transparent. And when I loaded the exported file to photoshop, the background is white instead of transparent which it should have been transparent just like how it was saved in photoshop before it was imported to this app.
Please add the transparency option for the image background when importing and allow to save background as transparent instead of white background. Thanks. Other than that, this is by far the best pixel creator out there! So, I'm giving it a 5 star. 👍🏻

Developer Response ,

I am really glad you like the app! As far as transparent backgrounds go the app supports both importing and exporting transparent backgrounds. If you could shoot me an email at skyler@skymistdevelopment.com I can verify if it is something odd with the image or you are doing something unexpected.

Amazing! But there’s some kinks

I’ve been using this for over a year now and I adore the new interface (even if I had to battle the muscle memory of the old one) and the app overall but few things that I’ve been thinking about,
First of all there’s what I believe is a nasty bug. This is a problem I’ve only come across after the update, some of my older sprites (which opened fine before) now cannot load and crash the app. This hasn’t happened from any other update so I assume it’s because of the new one. I’m lucky the sprites this happened to I have exports of, but I’m still going to have to recreate them and I’m afraid of this happening to a file I don’t have a export of. It seems random on the sprites it affects, so I have no idea how to prevent it.

2. Opacity: the fact that it doesn’t keep the color when it merges is rather irritating, like I want to make a character underwater so I have a blue color with opacity on it, but when it merges it becomes solid blue meaning I just have to recolor it manually.

3. The files themselves need a better menu, with the amount I’ve made I have to keep scrolling down and back up to find something, I end up saving what I need again just so it’s at the top.

4. Please have a color select, I don’t mean eye dropper obviously, I mean selecting only areas of the sprite with a specific color (I feel like I’m wording this badly,sry), it’d make recoloring so much less of a hassle.

Developer Response ,

Thank you for the great feedback. It appears there are some new memory limits and really large drawings or ones with lots of layers may fail to load. I found some ways to optimize the loading and the next update may free up enough memory to reopen some of your previous drawing.

Worth the price

This app is definitely worth its price, there’s no ads to distract you, the size multiplier is very useful, the animation is a cool feature that’s easy to use, and it has a way of creating custom colors. There aren’t any bugs, and it’s a great app to use for sprite creation. The only thing I suggest is making a tool that flips your sprite in opposite directions, for example, I was making a sprite turn all the way around, and I made it face the left but, I had to make the one facing right from scratch since there wasn’t any flip tool. But besides that, I love this app 👍🙂

Developer Response ,

Thank you for the kind review. There actually is a flip tool on the layer. All you have to do is select the layer you want and hit the flip button at the bottom of the layer list. It was meant for exactly what you are doing and will flip left and right for you. :)
