### 1/5 — One of the filters brings up a porn image

*2019-12-20, version 1.5*

I was trying to put a filter on a picture of our dog with my 10 year old. The filter called “ColorPecil” that looks like a colored line drawing pulls up a new image of a woman naked and spread eagled on a bed!  Don’t use this app without checking the filters first to make sure the developer fixes it.  I couldn’t figure out how to notify them or Apple about the problem from the app or the App Store so I’m hoping they’ll see the review.

### 5/5 — pretty neat; i just need some things put in

*2019-11-17, version 1.5*

this is pretty much the only app i found that was like this-- i really like it. the thing is, i just need an undo-redo button. i make a lot of mistakes, and i cant undo it. and another thing, i want it to have either save slots or just save what i did recently. the first time i got on i expected my work to be saved and just automatically show up the second time i got on; but nope. i just need these things, and thats it. i do like this app, though! its pretty cool. ♡♡♡

### 1/5 — Won’t give me result and keeps crashing

*2019-09-03, version 1.5*

I choose the photo, then choose the filter and it looks like it’s doing something , but instead...nothing then it crashes.
I was pleased with this app, but now I can’t use it anymore.
I paid for Pro.....this is what I’m getting.
 On the last week of August, I was getting a picture done and all of a sudden a picture of an Indian male appeared and the picture I was editing disappeared. Terrible thing to happen. Where did my picture go and why did this happen?

### 2/5 — It’s OK

*2018-08-12, version 1.5*

This is an OK app that has the same filters as most similar apps.  I think that there has to be a platform that most use to make similar apps. Because other apps look similar as well.

Some filters take for ever to load up. Seriously, some filters are very slow to load up. And sometimes when you try to use those filters the app crashes.

One of the apps I try had the cool feature that you could swipe left or right on the screen to go from one filter to another. With this app you have to tap on the left to have the bar appear, tap on the filters button, and the. Select the next filer. Oo many steps.

Another app had the cool feature of having two slide bars at the bottom to change the strength of the effects. Sometimes a little can do the job. Another one had contrast, exposure, and  filter strength. Also pretty cool! All that for a similar price.

I paid for the pro features not knowing they had a pro version of the app out. Which makes me wonder if it’s more stable. I hope it has the same features.

In a nutshell, the app needs to stop crashing, be faster, have the ability to go from one filter to another faster with the image in full screen, add more new filters, and incorporate filter effect settings to better compete against other similar priced apps.

### 5/5 — Update needed

*2018-02-19, version 1.4*

Please update the app. This has been the perfect app for all my photo needs and I can’t be happy without it! 
Again please update

### 5/5 — Nice app

*2017-10-28, version 1.4*

Very good app. Does what it claims. I needed to go from an animated drawing of a still to a moving (video) image and this works beautifully. Nice job. Plus it's great for reimagining all kinds of everyday shots.

### 5/5 — great app for sketching

*2017-09-12, version 1.4*

I use this app to edit my reference pictures to be easier to draw. I love the 'high-def' feature, I use that a ton. Overall a good app

### 5/5 — CartoonSketch

*2017-08-03, version 1.4*

Nice work but some of the pictures look the same or get stuck on the last picture Cartoon

### 5/5 — Very nice tool

*2017-03-22, version 1.4*

I really like this tool, very easy to use and it has lots of good filters--just wish I could pay to get rid of the ads...

### 4/5 — Resolution and video

*2017-03-13, version 1.4*

A video option would make this the best app ever. The resolution could be better and it does not completely sync with my iPhone. The sketch option needs some improvement for those with a fairer complexion. Overall it's a great app.
