What's New in the Latest Version 2.1
Last updated on Jun 24, 2021
Old Versions
Fixed a bug where PixelArtPro folder and files vanished after iOS update by ensuring the iCloud ubiquitous container uses a fully qualified label.
Note if you can’t see previous files on iCloud via Finder, they should still show up when you search, then copy them to the new PixelArtPro folder which will be created when saving a project to iCloud.
