User Reviews

Reviews praise Pixen for its intuitive interface, Apple Pencil compatibility, no-ads policy, cross-platform workflow, and strong pixel-art capabilities. However, recurring flaws include stability problems (crashes, not opening, save issues), export limitations (only to images/GIFs, no sprite/animation export), and missing gallery/history to review work, plus limited animation playback and a steeper learning curve for newcomers.

Pros

Intuitive, easy-to-use interface with responsive controls.
Excellent Apple Pencil support.
No ads and a robust pixel-art/animation toolset.
Smooth cross-platform workflow between mobile and desktop, with flexible importing from folders beyond Photos.
Delivers high-quality pixel art and good results for thumbnails and animations.

Cons

Frequent crashes and stability issues; app won't open and work may not save.
Export options are limited to photos or GIFs; lack of sprite/animation export formats.
No built-in gallery or history to revisit past drawings/animations.
Animation playback/preview is limited or hard to use while editing.
Navigation can be non-intuitive for beginners.

Recent reviews

This app is great! It is very easy to use and is overall good for beginners. However, I would like there to be a gallery so I can actually see my artworks. You can of course just screenshot it, but a gallery would make things much easier.
