  • Fun! But..

    I’ve been using the website for a while, so I was happy when the app was released. I love using the app, but my problem is with the ads. It happens a lot where I’ll click on a maker and an ad pops up, which is fine, but many times the x button never pops up, even after I’ve watched the entire video ad. It just makes me need to close the app’s tab and reopen, but I unfortunately lose the maker I was going to use when I do that. It could be because I use tablet rather than phone, so maybe it’s on me 😅 But I would definitely love if they made a tablet-friendly version of the app if possible, or at least fix this problem.

    Thank you for your review. The advertisements displayed in our apps are reviewed by each ad-serving company, but there are rare cases in which ads like the one you have pointed out are distributed. In such cases, we investigate and take action such as suspending delivery, but since the advertisements displayed vary from user to user, we are afraid that it is difficult to take exhaustive action.

  • Great app!

    I’ve been using Picrew for a couple years at this point and while I was always satisfied with Picrew, the app is definitely easier to access and is just as, if not more, enjoyable than it was as just a website!
  • great app!!

    i've been using picrew for little over a year now, and when i found out they came out with an app, i was overjoyed :D finally i didn't have to switch between a thousand tabs at once and just keep them all in one spot! all in all, a great app and love to use it <3
  • i can't edit

    I LOVE THIS, i've been using it since 2020*clapping sounds* but i never had a problem with the editing like on the app version, i'm having trouble with editing now. It's the scrolling thing at the top that lets you use "Shirt" or "Earrings" i hope you get it, but it won't move(also i'm not having problems with ads)(i am young)

  • The website is better

    The website is less likely to crash on you and you can actually load it if you’re phone has less than 50% battery. There’s a lot of ads and if you’re using it on your iPad like I do sometimes it’s very likely that the video ads won’t have an exit so you’ll be forced to leave the app and reload it.
  • To much adds , But very entertaining!!

    It’s a very entertaining app and I spend most time on it, but it has multiple ads. When I press to get into a creator, it gives me an ad and when I get out, it sometimes gives me an ad. But it’s a good app to play with on a road trip or on a plane when traveling! And I would also want some of us that are actually logged in to actually make a creator so we don’t have to go through that over and over again . (Ty!!)

  • Love the creating, hate the ads

    I have been using this since 2019. I enjoy creating my ocs in the different dress ups but the ads have gotten worse and worse. It’s frustrating when the ads begun to literally cover the buttons, show inappropriate ads despite using the app/website on many different devices in different locations (non-personal ads are always on for me), and the search feature has always kinda sucked too.

    I can deal with an ad below the content, out of the way. Maybe an ad after every 5 times I open a new Picrew. But not plastered everywhere to the point where I press on an ad more often than I press a shirt for my character to wear.

  • Good App, High Hopes, But Serious Safety Issue? Hacked??

    I really did like this app. I loved that I didn’t need to sign in every time or risk risqué side ads like when I was in the web browser. Loved that it even had my saved favorites and other info from before I got the app. Honestly one of, if not my all time favorite oc creation app.

    However— after a week or few, I would be on the app making a character like usual, when I would get forced into Safari or some other browser, and it would threaten my information was being stolen. It got to the point where I didn’t even need to accidentally press the little ad on the bottom. Not to mention, these incidents becoming more and more drastic. Sometimes there would even be offers to get software that would “save me” but I never did knowing that was probably the real trap. That was the least of these threats. This has only occurred when I was on this app.

    I’m just curious if anyone else got this (becuase it’s only when I was using the app) or if I’m just unlucky. I might redownload this app but considering this may be a real safety issue, I won’t be doing it anytime soon, and I don’t recommend anyone else do so either. Not until this has been proven by the creators to have been fixed.
    That’s all though… Thank you.

  • LOVE picrew, however

    Ive been using this website since 2020, before the ads showed up. On the desktop website, the ads aren’t too obtrusive. On mobile they sometimes covered parts of the page that you needed to click. In the app? This is somehow worse. Hard to find the exit button, still have the scrolling ads across the bottom, they’re annoyingly obtrusive because theyre not static they’re the game ads that if you interact at all open the app store. Wish there was a one time purchase to get rid of ads, one of the only times id actually buy it!!

  • Pretty good but minor issues

    Honestly this is actually really cool. Finally seeing the web it become an app is great. Everything is practically the same as the website but for me when I go press the numbers at the bottom it takes a bit of a minute to actually go to the next page. I’m not sure if this is just a me thing but I kinda find it annoying. Overall the app is very nice.
