1.2.3
Oct 9, 2016
Fixed some issues with undo.
1.2.2
Jul 18, 2016
Added "*Use if your image appears blurry or you want to make it bigger" on export screen.
When saving at 1x it may look blurry in your camera roll. These images are not blurry just super tiny. If you want to use your image on something and they look blurry scale them up 10x or more. Keep in mind the image size at 1x is the same size as your project. So a 32x32 is only 32 pixels by 32 pixels and will look blurry when blown up or viewed in your camera roll.
Thank you everyone for the awesome reviews. I really enjoy reading how much you like the app.
