### 3.0 — 2018-01-09

This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon.

Version 3.0 updates:

Cartoon Yourself now offer a total of 6 undos on the "Add Stickers" option (you were previously able to do 4 undos).
4 additional cartoon variations were added. These 4 new variations feature more vibrant colors. The new screenshots reflect these changes. Note that the previous effects are still available! We've kept those effects as well because they're great! It's just that certain photos may have different lighting... We vigorously test as many photos as we can. All of our tests are done with photographs which feature different lighting and backgrounds. Hopefully these new effects will help cartoon everyone! :)
