Yes, judging by iOS review count, Mixel as an app doesn't yet seem to have reached a high penetration (however, it is also not a free app):

About 300+ lifetime reviews vs 10,000+ for Hipstamatic.

Hipstamatic has been around for a long time, even before Instagram, so I don't think this is a fair comparison.

I'm just using it as a back of the envelope measurement between two paid-for photo enhancement apps. Is there any app considered widely successful that has a relatively low number of reviews?

I would also point out, anecdotally, that I haven't heard of anyone in my social circle using Mixel...not friends, but the people I follow online, on both the tech and photography world. This is not to say that Mixel was a bad app, just that it doesn't seem popular enough to buy for the tech or user base alone.
