What people say about Pixy

Real reviews from the App Store and Google Play.

“This app has been huge in helping my psychiatrist and I determine what’s going on with my brain. I honestly can’t believe it’s free.”

Verified App Store review · Dec 2025

“It has everything you need and it doesn’t overwhelm you with unnecessary ads or functions. One thing I hate is apps that … force you to stare at the monthly and yearly subscription. This app has not done anything annoying like that!”

Verified App Store review · Mar 2025

“Finally, a mood app that isn’t overwhelming! I’ve tried so many tracking apps but they all ask 50 questions and the actually useful stuff is paywalled. I’m pleased this one isn’t like that.”

Verified App Store review · Jun 2025

“I am a mental health counselor and I love suggesting to my clients to use this. Without the ads, it really allows you to not feel monetized while you’re trying to just get a grasp on your mental health. 10/10 always recommend!”

Verified Google Play review · Apr 2024

“Absolutely superb app with the right balance of functionality and simplicity. I tried a couple of other tracker apps but they were too complex and time consuming to fill in. Pixy’s biggest strength is that it can be used quickly.”

Verified Google Play review · Jun 2024

“No ads or anything to pay for, everything is free! Pretty colors, helpful statistics, customizable, and a bigger variety of moods to choose from than most apps.”

Verified App Store review · Oct 2024

“Wonderful, Simple, Free! This app has surprised me. Seems like most apps I find are cash grabs. It is easy to see that the developers approached this app with quality in mind.”
