DO NOT DOWNLOAD! *2021-03-12, version 2.0.3* Do not let your kids download this “free” app. We have parental controls set up so that a parent has to approve downloads of any app, and since this is listed as free, we allowed it. Somehow he was automatically signed up for an $80 year long subscription. Reading other recent reviews, it looks like others inadvertently were signed up for subscriptions as well. DO NOT TRUST AND DO NOT DOWNLOAD! ### 2/5 — Do not get this app *2020-07-17, version 1.9.1* I wanted to see myself like in a cartoon or what o would look like when I get older. So I downloaded it. When I got in I saw most of everything cost money. But I still went to the part we’re you take your picture and you turn old. It took the picture and then the money popped up. It said that I needed money to take that picture! Why! If everything cost money, why doesn’t the app itself just cost money. ### 1/5 — Mostly shady and buggy trash *2020-06-20, version 1.8.1* This is a great app, but support and feedback from developer is non-existent. The app defaults to a 1year sub for $79 and if you are not paying attention and install it you won’t have a choice to get your money back. I’ve contacted them thro email and within the app and you might as well go build a sand castle in the ocean, at least you’ll see some kind of feedback. ### 5/5 — awesome *2020-06-17, version 1.8.1* With several updates, the function is more and more interesting. I like the function of changing hair style! ### 1/5 — Might as well not be free *2020-06-15, version 1.8.1* The only reason I am not giving this one star is because the things you can do with it are pretty cool. But you can hardly do ANYTHING without paying for a membership, like you might as well just charge for the app. Don’t get this if you don’t want to spend money. Edit: I just got a developer response and just don’t listen to them, no most of the content is NOT free, the first thing that pops up when you open it is something asking you for membership or whatever, and you can barely use anything, as I said before. Changing this review to 1 star. Don’t get this app. **Developer response:** Hello! First of all, thank you very much for downloading and using Photopia app, the app is now free to use, most of the content is free of charge, and only some of the exclusive features require a subscription. We will continue to update more free content and features in the future. If you still need help, please email to contact us, we'll try our best to help you solve the problem. ### 5/5 — support! *2020-06-12, version 1.8.1* you can find many functions in it! HIghly recommend! ### 2/5 — Disappointed *2020-06-11, version 1.8.0* So I saw an add for this app a couple of times about how you can turn you’re photo’s into cartoony kind photo’s and after seeing it a bit of times I decided to download it just for the cartoony effect. BUT as I downloaded it I looked on and saw that I had to pay for it NO WHERE on the add had it said ANYTHING about this and, I wasn’t about to spend some money on something I would barely use! Also took like 10 minutes for the X out button to get on the first screen it brought you to, I THOUGHT the ONLY way to get out of that page was to PURCHASE the special effects but I Waited a bit and the X button FINALLY popped up. But you know I didn’t think it was to much of a problem YET because I thought I could at least I could try the cartoony effect out with my photo’s even if I could not use them. BUT I could not even do that! Like what if I would want to buy the specials effects pack but can’t even test them first! I was very disappointed after that and deleted the app. Tip: If you’re gonna make an add about you’re special effects at least make it noticeable that they cost money Tip 2: Before you let people buy you special pack let them test it out with you’re photo’s Tip 3: PLEASE make the special effects screen X button more noticeable and be already there because if you accidentally click it you have to wait wait and WAIT! The only good things about this app was the beauty effects the rest of the free effects you could literally get from camera roll.☹︎ **Developer response:** Hello!

I can’t use any of the features described in the add, if you want to use this app without paying for it, don’t bother, just buy an editing app. The only thing I could do on it was put a filter on my photo, which is something you can do on many free apps. Just make the app itself cost money ### 1/5 — Horrible 😷 *2020-05-05, version 1.7.1* I rarely take the time to review apps but this app is horrible none of what it says it offers works the use of the cartooning yourself picture scans your imagine for a few minutes and drawing looks nothing like you along with other features they print you in to purchasing before u can try the features so they can assure their money if u close out you’re then offered a three day trial, horrible app honestly ### 1/5 — do not download *2020-03-27, version 1.5.8* I downloaded the app thinking wow I get to use a cool cartoon affect but right when I got on the app a slide popped up that said free trial start now🤔 and immediately knew that it was a rip off😡 over all this app is NOT what it claims to be🤬 you half to buy the effect that it shows in the ads😡 especially since in the ads it says “free” but it’s not you half to pay A LOT of money😑😡 ## Frequently asked questions about Photopia ### What can I do with Photopia?
