Pretty powerful for a phone editor.

iPadOS 26 ruined this application
     
by DAGAMERX29 · October 7, 2025

I’ve been using this app since it came out and I used this every day. I am so upset on how much iPadOS 26 destroyed this app. The keyboard shortcuts work when they want to. And I can’t press and hold down the arrow keys it crashes the app. I don’t understand how it got so bad and they’re not updating the app. I keep checking and nothing. Did Apple ruin this application?

Disappointed its been Deprecated

Love this app, its exactly what you need to do true photo and graphic editing on an iPhone. The Photos and Photomator apps lack true editing features, and Pixelmator Pro is only on iPad. Don't know what I'll use when this stops working on new iOS versions.

Will these issues ever be fixed? Apple apps get such bad ratings.
     
by lagunabob · March 26, 2026

I have Pixelmator on multi iOS devices and my Mac computers. I do like the app in general however the latest version in iOS 17.6.1 has a number of issues. The text alignment option will switch to left after beginning in center. The files are sent to the bottom of the page while they used to be at the top. Sometimes the text style selection window will go blank and one must close and reopen to continue text style selection. Sometimes when opening an new image the app will say “can’t open now” or something like that. Again, open and close may fix that. I hope this will help your techs in fixing these issues.

Needs some tweaks with controls and gestures.

Standard retouching tools. Meant to be used in tandem with Photomator. Controls for some tools are frustrating and unintuitive due to a delay in registering the action. Example: when using the Distort tool, there is the pinch option. This tool works in two ways where you can suck in an area by pinching your fingers together or blow it up by spreading your fingers on the screen. 9/10 times, instead of blowing up the desired area, the app will zoom in on the photo instead. Needs more options for more precise distortions and maybe a tutorial or two for those who are new to retouch. Otherwise, it does its job.

Almost perfect.

Will not handle 16 bit color.

Be careful
     
by rk2242 · November 15, 2025

Make sure not to confuse this with the full featured, subscription, Pro version. For my purposes, this application is a wasted $10.
