This app has Google Drive sync, and that makes it very easy to switch between devices and continue your project. Convenient color sliders, palettes, and pickers make getting colors not a hassle, and it overall feels responsive and pleasing to use. You can move and zoom with both speed and precision, select exact colors, easily make straight lines, use multiple layers, use an invisible background, save files in multiple formats, insert other images, and even load files to edit later. Good reliable experience, to export SpritesSheets in a usable format for programming, even allows you to figure out frame timing beforehand. Files can be saved to many types of folders, as different types of files can be accessed quickly and easily. This is the most useful, easy-to-use, and straightforward pixel art animation app out there by a long shot.

Oh, and the text signs are a little bit too hard to use.
