Ratings and Reviews
I’m enjoying this app so much!!
UI is easy to understand and there are some cute custom themes. Having blend mode make me feel so comfortable to draw pixels picture with this app. I will definitely support your app in the future. Keep going:3! Btw, is there going to be a feature like merging clipping mask layer with layer below it? Cause’ I really like to combine layer together. Thanks in advance❤️

Hi Workingosi,
Thank you for this wholesome review. I'm so happy to see that you're enjoying Pixquare.
As for your question, that's exactly what I'm working on right now. So in the next release, you'll be able to have multiple clipping mask layers and the ability to merge them to the main layer

Best pixel art app I used so far
This app is one of the better apps of pixel art, it doesn’t crash every 5 minutes, it doesn’t delete your artwork after refreshing/closing the app. It is also very easy to pick up this is much better than the horrific website called Pixilart

Hi Izethtical_NP,
Thank you so much for the positive review. I hope this is just a mistake that you gave Pixquare only 2 stars even though you like the app. If not, please do let me know what can I do better to gain more stars :D
