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.

really awesome app and its perfect except for the fact that after i drew one image it wont let me make anything else? its really weird because i cant make animations or drawings. also whenever i download its pretty low quality but i dont care much about that i can just screenshot 🤷. ALSO this one makes me really annoyed it’s the fact that there is no gallery. you cant look back at your drawings, you cant watch your animations, none of it. so you’re practically forced to download it or its just gone 🤷 but overall great app and easy to use 👍

id like to use my logitech mouse with this app but it doesnt work with it at all, and for me its too much extra work and eventually hurts my finger in the longrun to hold down the frame for 2 seconds each time when i want to duplicate the frames etc, so i havent used the app much but it looks great and i think ill buy an apple mouse see if that fairs better, thank you for your work making this app
