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

Little buggy and could borrow some bits from other iPad apps like undo gestures and stuff. There is more tapping around menus than is necessary. however the iCloud sync with the Mac version alone makes it a very nice tool for pixel game art. Work on the go and then the stuff is right there on the computer ready to be exported.

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.
