They keep improving this app. Would like to have some way to select an image choice & have it remain after I close the app so it’s ready for shooting next time I open the app. ### 5/5 — Having fun with instant toon *2025-04-13, version 3.59* It is so calming and when i am stressed it helps me settle down. ### 5/5 — . . cosmic *2025-02-24, version 3.55* . . clearly this properly is an app for folks with an artistic bent , so whether photographer or artist , either can start with their work and embellish it with this marvellous tech ~ obviously the user must have a worthy original for the tech to work its magic , nonetheless , if the user knows how to produce that original and then manipulate this tech effectively , well the potential is nigh- on limitless , best regards , such a one 🙂 ### 5/5 — Live this app *2025-02-22, version 3.55* Great for engraving ### 5/5 — awesome *2025-02-19, version 3.55* lots of options and different styles to choose from. Update on the app. Big issue is when I upload a photo and make a change and send it to my photos. The app tries to change the original photo. Very frustrating. You are looking at the original photo in your library and the photo changes back and forth to the instant toon photo. I really like this app but if this keeps happening I will have to delete the app. ### 2/5 — 결제 취소 요청 *2024-12-10* 3일 무료인줄 알았는데 바로 결제 됐어요ㅠㅠ 결제취소해주세요 ㅠㅠ ### 5/5 — Instant Toon *2024-11-27, version 3.52* Instant Toon is one of the best programs for changing your picture to an oil painting, stencil, 3-D, cartoon, and many more choices. You can even put Instant Toon on your iPhone and see what the pictures will look like before you take them, whether cartoon stencil and etc. ### 5/5 — First time *2024-11-18, version 3.52* Love this app ### 5/5 — Pro Level App 🔥🐉 *2024-11-08, version 3.52* We use Adobe for large scale projects. For almost everything else, we use Instant Toon for Music Videos, Video Effects, Photo Effects and Style Branding within and for both our record company and our multi-media company. The ease of use is off the charts with a wide array of filters and styles that you can also personalize to your preference. Whether you are a seasoned editor or a novice, this app is a must have in your editing and effects portfolio. Highly recommend!

Cannot recommend it enough! ### 5/5 — Worth the subscription fee *2024-09-14, version 3.50* The app is great easy to use ### 3/5 — Cool App Lacking User Control *2024-07-18, version 3.49* I like this apps capabilities, unfortunately for a paid app it lacks simple user control. Any images taken are saved in the App Library and cannot be deleted if unwanted. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Bad customer service *2026-01-23, version 3.67* No response both times I’ve contacted for questions about my account ### 1/5 — For fun-maybe *2025-08-18, version 3.65* Completely incapable of creating anything that truly resembles the reference photo other than a very very rough guess. Mostly just simple filters that do nothing to make your photo look like a toon. ### 1/5 — Kaufen Preis (ohne Abo) jetzt 39,99 Euro *2025-04-29* Hatte mir die App angesehen und dachte, ca. 5 Euro kann man schon zahlen für die Vollversion. Jetzt sind die Optionen entweder kostenlos mit viel Werbung oder Abo für 19,99 im Jahr oder 7,99 im Monat (!) (das sind 95,88 Euro im Jahr) Man kann die Pro Version 3 Tage lang kostenlos testen. Dann wird das Jahresabo automatisch aktiviert.. Kaufversion kostet nicht mehr ca. 5 Euro, sondern 39,99 Das ist es mir leider nicht wert.. ### 1/5 — BEWARE OF CANCELLATION ISSUE *2025-01-13, version 3.52* Decent app but there is no option to cancel the auto-renewal subscription. I downloaded for the 3-day trial period (and it said actually I must cancel one day before in order to avoid first month charge). However, I am not finding any option to cancel. Feels like a scam. Apple FCC FTC will be made aware of this sneaky little business. ### 1/5 — Fraud *2024-08-10, version 3.49* They charged me without consent I did not say they could charge my card at all ### 1/5 — PAY TRAP! *2024-07-31, version 3.49* Don’t waste your time. This app only offers four free sample filters(generic ones nobody wants) and EVERYTHING else costs money. Ads pop up literally every time you touch the screen. Thankfully there are better apps with MORE free options and fewer ads to wait through. ### 1/5 — 결제취소 *2024-03-14* 오늘오전에 결제됐던데 취소해주세요. 폰오류떠서 사용도 못했는데 결제됐네요ㅡㅡ ### 1/5 — Low quality photo to cartoon *2023-10-25, version 3.40* Really couldn’t perform to usable standards ### 1/5 — Not much going on. *2023-10-07, version 3.31* It isn’t worth buying as all the effects look pretty much the same. ### 1/5 — Videos do not save *2023-10-05, version 3.31* Don’t waste your time. Each time you record a video with the effects, the app will say they were saved to your camera roll, but they are not. I tried record three videos and have ample space in my phone storage. Each video was lost as soon as I stop recording. Don’t waste your time with this app. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fun & Creative *2026-04-20, version 3.68* Love this app. Simple to use with endless options to express your creativity and change up the endless photos you take! ### 5/5 — Top Notch! *2026-03-26, version 3.67* Love this app. It has a very simple quick and easy interface that makes transforming a simple shot into something that could become part of a collection of artistic takes even on the most boring shot. Just a pair of adidas can end up looking really cool and artsy. It’s a reasonable price if you pick the annual subscription and honestly doing so gives the option to just open it and use it at your leisure. I have had some truly great results. ### 5/5 — Cool *2026-03-06, version 3.67* Freaking cool as f! You do existing media or doing it in real time ### 5/5 — Great! *2026-01-27, version 3.67* Suits me ### 5/5 — Mr Haze *2025-12-05, version 3.66* Very cool app ### 5/5 — MOTO GUSTO *2025-10-22, version 3.66* Zep Link ### 5/5 — Awesome App *2025-09-16, version 3.65* The possibilities are endless with this creative app! ### 5/5 — Super excited *2025-07-03, version 3.64* Good outcome ### 5/5 — Love color 💋 *2025-06-25, version 3.64* Love this app. I think it’s unique and so easy even I can use it gorge 💋🥹 ### 5/5 — Adds creativity to your game *2025-06-12, version 3.63* This is an easy to learn process which can really add benefits to your photography projects. It's 5 stars from me. JRD. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
