Will these issues ever be fixed? Apple apps get such bad ratings.

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.

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.

Long Live Pixelmator! (An Elegy)

This has been one of my favorite (and most-used) apps since I began tinkering with images and piecing things together - usually to share for a laugh or two among friends and family. I just read the news that, per 9to5 Mac, Apple stated the app is no longer receiving updates. This comes on the heels of also hearing that they are moving many of their in-house creativity and productivity sweet over to a freemium and/or subscription model. I find the loss of future support for this app to be a sad development and one which will negatively impact my iOS experience when the day finally comes that I can no longer install this on new devices. I find the transition of other apps by Apple (especially those previously designed by other developers) to subscription-based models to be hostile to the consumers that buy into its very ecosystem and experience. We are all systematically being priced out of the very technologies that decades of consumer-patronage enabled to be developed. Pixelmator will die. Apple will have killed it. Long live Pixelmator!
