Not a robust standalone editor, but worthwhile for the unique looks it offers. ### 2/5 — Error *2015-04-09, version 1.8* When i press the recording button, it's suddenly turned off. Please fix this error. ### 3/5 — 좋아요 *2015-03-02, version 1.8* 괜찬은거 같습니다. ### 3/5 — More controls to make photos unique *2015-03-02* Being able to control the attributes of the textures a bit more would make our images unique. Developers please note— we do NOT want to pay subscriptions, even though that works out better for you. Just sell an app and seem decent extras via the IAPs. ### 3/5 — まぁまぁ。 *2015-03-01, version 1.8* 加工した画像を見る部分が小さい(液晶画面いっぱいにはならない)ので、そこがもっと大きかったらなぁと思います。 ### 3/5 — Норм но вылетает *2015-02-28, version 1.8* Много разных фильтров, в принципе прилажка не плохая но вылетает при нажатии кнопки записи видео ### 2/5 — Video crashes the app *2015-02-28* The video feature causes the app to crash every time without fail. Also, the selection of filters is a little scant for the price of this app. Finally, the transparencies in the filters are static as opposed to generated randomly so each pic you use with a specific filter has the same pattern laid on top of it. I hope this app gets fixed soon. Until then check out aremaC and/or Orange Cam. ### 3/5 — Can't take videos *2015-02-27, version 1.8* The photo effects are quite nice but the app crashes when I press the video button 😑 ### 2/5 — Not so happy *2015-01-30* The filters this app provide are really cool yet very limited. You are unable to crop, rotate, zoom, or do pretty much anything besides filter the picture. I guess you can put the filter you want save and then open another app to do the rest, but who the heck wants to do all that. Would definitely not recommend this app for someone who doesn't have the extra time and patience. ### 4/5 — Nice selection of effects *2015-01-07, version 1.8* The very first thing I wanted to know was the output resolution. I think every photo app should show this info. On my iPhone 6 an imported image 3264x2448 saved the same size. A new photo shot with the app also saved at 3264x2448. The app has a nice selection (18) of sketch effects and with 3 sliders to make fine tune adjustments. It would be nice if the interface would rotate for imported portrait format images. Otherwise they are very small to work with. Maybe this will come in a future update. ### 4/5 — 4Sで8.1.1ですけど *2014-12-07, version 1.8* リアルタイムの画像の保存ができないけれど、編集はできますね。water colorはお気に入りです ### 4/5 — Wonderful and interface needs improvement *2014-10-18, version 1.8* This is a wonderful app. Hope the app developer can upgrade the interface to be cleaner and more slick. It is difficult to slide a small button to adjust the effects setting. Please keep up the good work 👍 ### 4/5 — 好用 *2014-10-09, version 1.8* 不過更新後4S有版面太大的問題 ### 4/5 — Une application Impressioniste *2014-07-10* Merci pour cette application très agréable pour retoucher mes photos, mais également pour les prendre directement! Cela apporte une touche de créativité impressionnante. Je commence seulement à utiliser la caméra et cela se révèle également très créatif. ### 4/5 — Effets magnifiques *2014-05-28, version 1.4* Un des meilleur logiciel dans le genre, bel effet et utilisation très aisée ! ### 4/5 — Saving *2014-04-27* I really like this app, but for one feature. After saving one of the effects to the camera roll…it goes back to blank and you have to select the image again from your album or another image. Before the "upgrade” you could save different effects on one image without having to go back and get it out of the album again and again. This would allow you to try and to save different effects on the same image as the image would stay there until you decided to get another one. Bring that feature back! Thank you. Theresa ### 4/5 — Pencil Camera *2014-03-29, version 1.4* Cool filters with plenty of options for each to use with still or video. 👍 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Crashes *2015-04-22, version 1.8* The light version works fine on my iPad 2, so I purchased the full version and it cannot record videos, it crashes right after I press record... Fix It please and I'll give it 5 stars. ### 1/5 — Инвалид-программа *2015-03-01, version 1.8* Видео, вылетает. Да и фильтров побольше бы навалить... а так, задумали неплохо. ### 1/5 — Форс-мажор? *2015-01-07, version 1.8* IPAD 2. Видео не снимает, слетает сразу. iOS 8. Халтура. Исправляйте. ### 1/5 — Bombs out on iPhone 6 Plus *2014-12-27, version 1.8* Interesting app, but video recording doesn't seem to work on my phone :( ### 1/5 — Так себе *2014-03-18, version 1.4* Эффекты ни о чем. Есть намного более качественные приложения. Даже среди бесплатных ### 1/5 — 使えない *2013-07-18, version 1.3* お金払ったのに、使えないし、カメラロールには繋がらない。 どうなっているんでしょう。 ★無しです ### 1/5 — Horrible *2013-03-01, version 1.3* Lags way to much on IPod gen 4 ### 1/5 — Don't buy it ! *2013-03-01, version 1.3* Dose not work on my iphone4s ! The app keeps crashing after a few seconds of use. I want my money back. ### 1/5 — bobo *2013-02-28* nada demais mesmo ### 1/5 — Crashing *2013-01-18, version 1.3* This app "looks" as though it would be great but I haven't been able to try it because of the constant crashing. Please fix whatever bug it has. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great *2016-01-03* Great app ### 5/5 — Macht Spaß *2015-06-07, version 1.8* Tolle Art Fotos in kleine Kunstwerke zu verwandeln. ### 5/5 — Stirs Imagination *2015-02-28* Large assortment of effects, rendered quickly. One of my favorite features is the slideshow function in the upper right. It streams random images from your camera roll, rendered with auto-generated effects. Last week I visited two Boston art museums where I took a few hundred photos. It's entertaining to see them reinterpreted in this app as a slideshow. Gives me art ideas I might not have otherwise thought of. The rendered images look good and are fun to develop further in other apps. ### 5/5 — My favorite app. 2/4/2015 *2015-02-05, version 1.5* I use it often, and my best outcomes have been with the filters on Pencil Camera. I have tried a lot of apps, and this is the most interesting. Is there a gallery that app where users can share their Pencil Camera photos? It would be fun to see other people's results ### 5/5 — 超棒又好用 *2014-07-17, version 1.5* 很棒的彩色sketch APP，操作簡單 ### 5/5 — Very cool!! *2014-06-05, version 1.4* I'm impressed! ### 5/5 — Crazy great! *2014-04-13* I have lots of iPhone camera apps and most I delete but this camera is special. It turns photos into works of art! Very cool effects and easy to find the right effect. ### 5/5 — Best cartoon app *2014-03-25, version 1.4* It's the best one one iphone and u can do it while recording a video ### 5/5 — Nice to record video *2014-03-24, version 1.4* Nice ### 5/5 — 呵呵 *2014-03-22, version 1.4* 介面簡單 我喜歡。 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
