The pics we tried in no way depict what we were hoping for ### 1/5 — What a piece of junk….Don’t Buy this!!!!! *2024-08-09* What a piece of junk….Don’t Buy this!!!!! ### 1/5 — No Where Near *2024-06-29* This app didn’t work for me. I am a beautiful brown woman whose cartoons kept coming in as white women or white men. Only once did it look similar to me but still the wrong race. ### 1/5 — Feminine *2024-05-25* I’m a single dad of three boys. It was almost impossible to get a cartoon on my boys without them looking like they were very feminine. Even the zombie in the GTA tried to put a halter top on my 10-year-old who wasn’t wearing a shirt. Not great for their ego. “Daddy. Why do I look like a girl, now?” Already cancelled my subscription. ### 1/5 — Turned me WHITE *2024-05-21* All of my images came out as white people and I’m a dark skin black girl. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2024-04-04* You can’t take any screen shots. You can’t keep any pictures even though you paid for it. It takes a really long time to generate a picture. It turns girls into boys. It says really dumb things that are inappropriate as you wait for your unfortunate picture. ### 1/5 — Racist. *2024-03-27* All my images came out white. They made all my photos a white female, with green or blue eyes and when I tried “sketch” it made me look like a haggard mulatto. What the H-E-double hockey sticks?! ## Most praised reviews (8 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best cartoon app *2025-10-24* The new version os wayyy better ### 5/5 — love it *2024-08-19* excellent app ### 5/5 — Tottenham *2024-03-27* Ghhh ### 5/5 — Creative cartoons *2024-03-11* This cartoon maker app has turned our photos into cartoon stars! It’s brought a new layer of fun to our photos ### 3/5 — Needs some fixin’ if I’m gonna be paying for this. *2026-05-02* I have been playing with the this app for a couple of hours, and so far, I love my little cartoon pictures (except for the ones that turn me into a dude)! However, it is suuuuuper laggy and sometimes, it just freezes up completely for way too long (I don’t know how long, exactly, because I have had to close it and go do other things and haven’t had a chance to wait it out, but it has been frozen for at least 15 minutes at a time so far). It also crashes periodically when I try to save a photo, which is frustrating. If it were free, I wouldn’t care, but I feel like if I am going to be paying $4 a week for this, it should just work. I shall keep it for a while longer, though, and see if the bugs get worked out. ### 2/5 — Watermark *2025-12-14* Paid for the weekly plan and every picture I save to gallery has a watermark on it. ### 2/5 — Slow!!! *2024-06-10* Some of the cartoons take way too long. ### 2/5 — Be prepared to WAIT a *LONG* time *2024-03-14* I was pulled in by the example images shown in the App Store, but the reality is that you spend a LOT of time waiting- dozens of minutes - just to give up in the end. This was NOT the case with the “3D”transformation (which rendered a man with long hair as a woman) or the “Sketch” function (which uses an enlarged version of the image on the BUTTON as the result). However, the “Babe” function seems to NEVER finish. If they are going to charge weekly to use this app (accumulating approx. $150 USD per year if the subscription is left active for 52 weeks) they should consider investing in more AI computational horsepower. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
