User Reviews

PixelPencil is praised for its intuitive UI and robust toolset with groups and layers, plus a free-to-use model with non-intrusive ads. Reviewers note improvements over prior Pixel Art apps and value. However, top concerns include file rename operations that lock access, limited PNG export options, blurry camera-roll exports, and the lack of animation features. Addressing rename reliability, export formats, and animation would resolve the main pain points while preserving the app's strengths.

Pros

Intuitive, easy-to-use interface.
Rich toolset including groups and layers.
Free to use with non-intrusive ads and an option to remove ads.
Improved UI compared to the previous Pixel Art app.

Cons

Renaming files can lock you out of your artwork (rename often causes folders and access issues).
PNG export support is lacking or limited (does not open PNGs; cannot export as PNG).
Saving/exporting to camera roll can appear blurry.
Animation feature is missing / not available.

Recent reviews

This app is great but sometimes it locks you out of your art if you rename it. The file still exists but you can’t open it. If you want to open it you have to put .poti at then end of the name and it should let you back in.

Please add curve line tool, additional tools could be a polygon that can have the corners moved and given a custom amount of edges, and the same but with rounded edges to make custom rounded shapes.
