### 1/5 — Can’t figure it out

*2021-10-03, version 1.2*

I don’t know how it works I take the picture and then it shows up black. My granddaughter wanted to try to use it and she was super exited but then it just wouldn’t show up. So there should be much better instructions

### 1/5 — DOESNT WORK AT ALL!

*2021-09-12, version 1.2*

I uploaded my photo and it goes to a black screen and that’s it! I want my money back!

### 1/5 — Pay of can’t use!

*2021-09-08, version 1.2*

### 1/5 — Trash

*2021-08-03, version 1.2*

Can’t even take a test photo. So instead of knowing if it works for your needs youll
Have to pay first. Nah. No thanks thieves

### 1/5 — Use

*2023-06-30, version 1.6*

if I can’t use the app to get an idea of how it works, it’s worthless to me.

### 1/5 — Not as advertised, doesn’t even let you trial it without purchasing

*2023-06-16*

Nothing lines up  or is able to ‘cartoon’ the images. The advertising looks far more professional than the actual experience.

### 1/5 — Not working

*2022-12-10, version 1.6*

I keep getting an error message.  Saying it failed.  What am I paying $2.99 a month for?

### 1/5 — Not good

*2022-09-29, version 1.6*

Difficult to use

### 1/5 — Just about money

*2022-08-05, version 1.6*

Trying to try the program out and all they keep doing is popping up about memberships so they can consider this app deleted

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2022-05-12, version 1.6*

Doesn’t do what it claims and shows! This is THE WORST APP! What a lie! I even paid the subscription fee 😡 what a freaking joke I’d give 0 stars if possible

### 1/5 — Animation Does Not Work

*2022-04-08, version 1.3*

The animation looks amazing but after subscribing they do not work. I keep clicking the button but nothing pops up. Unfortunate :(

### 1/5 — WORST APP EVER!!!!

*2022-03-12, version 1.3*

YOU LITERALLY HAVE TO PAY FOR ALMOST EVERYTHING LIKE BRUH I HATE DIS APP SND NEVER DOWNLOAD IT

### 1/5 — No 3D face filter and there is a white blob at the top

*2022-02-14, version 1.3*

The nagging of the ads I can understand but not to let people try the app with all the options and then when you pay and the app still is not providing what was advertised is just wrong!

### 1/5 — Can’t do much without VIP subscription🙄

*2022-01-01, version 1.3*

Worst app ever! The cartoon looks terrible, the sketch doesn’t even look like me. And u can’t do pretty much anything without the VIP membership pass, which no 1 is going to pay a weekly, monthly,(or if you got money) yearly bill because half of the time u r using your parents money to pay unless they make u pay the frickin VIP pass with your money!😡 I don’t believe how this app has almost a five star review.😡🙄

### 5/5 — Great‍

*2021-07-15, version 1.0*

Cute cartoon app has been used for a long time. Fried chicken looks super natural, I love it. The filter works very well. Praise graffiti pens and stickers  ​ ​ ​

### 5/5 — Hah this is so fun!

*2021-07-13, version 1.0*

Love it!!

### 5/5 — very nice  ‍​

*2021-07-13, version 1.0*

I used the cute cartoon app before. No, it's the best camera software I've ever used. The software I used before is not in the same level at all! I really don't lie to you! And there are a lot of stickers, filters... Really super easy to use!

### 4/5 — New

*2021-07-18, version 1.0*

Investigating this app

### 2/5 — Worst cartoon face app ever

*2022-03-05, version 1.3*

I downloaded this cartoon face app hoping that that’s exactly what it does, immediately after downloading the app I was greeted with upgrade options, naturally I chose the life time subscription of $18.99 then after paying for it, guess what no cartoon face access, there’s a button for it, but it won’t load on my iPad Pro or my iPhone 12 Pro Max, the only thing that you can click is the Sketch and it’s the worst scratch I ever seen, also hair styles are available and that’s it, it was a complete waists of my time and money, I want a refund please
