SCAM!!! DO NOT DOWNLOAD!
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!

Do not get this app
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.

Mostly shady and buggy trash
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.

awesome
With several updates, the function is more and more interesting. I like the function of changing hair style!
Might as well not be free
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.

Disappointed
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.☹︎

Just make the app cost money!
I went into this app expecting to at least be able to use it, but absolutely nothing is free! 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

Horrible 😷
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

Scam
I expected to have at least some features for free but no then I got a subscription deal and you would expect it to be a week subscription or a month one but no it was a year subscription and the worst part is that I decided to buy it expecting for at least a 3-7 day free trial but no the app decided to just eat my money so there goes nearly $80 down the drain and it never even let me restore my purchase. Please young people take this information and don’t make the same mistakes I did.

Not a fan
I downloaded the app because I had seen so many ads about cartoon maker apps that all looked like clickbait, but I was still curious. As soon as I opened it, a card popped up saying “Unlock All Features for Free” or something like that, but I knew it obviously wasn’t free so I didn’t even bother. Then I tried to use the cartoon filter, the only reason I downloaded the app, and it said I had to pay for it. The free filters aren’t even good. They’re very subtle and not pleasing to the eye, in my opinion. But why in the world would someone pay $80 to unlock some filters?! I do not recommend downloading this app, and if you are going too, make sure you’re willing to spend $80 on basically everything.

Tricky thing
I don’t even remember my intentions when downloading this (I think I saw it on Facebook and wanted to give it a shot) but seeing as it was free I wasn’t expecting much. Apparently I still expected too much, as almost everything requires you to pay—and not just a couple of dollars mind you. The pop-ups I was getting was trying to have me pay $78 and some change to use it for just a year. Many of the features are ones you have to pay for. Would not recommend at all

BAD
I dislike it cause it was an ad on TikTok and I thought you know it’s free when I download the app it straight up tells me Pay 75 or 73 dollars a year like where do they think money comes out of like it was so Annoying then when I tried to do my picture that I wanted to be looking a cartoon it wouldn’t let me and I think u SHOULD NOT get this app but if u have money I guess you can get it.

Worst app ever
Honeslty, worst thing I ever downloaded. Didn’t tell me subscription prices and in a very small font it said it’ll automatically charge me $78 after 24 hours. Free trial was impossible to find and it made my phone crash when I tried to use a picture. It was literally a 78 dollar app that did what your phone could. The cartoon option was a literal joke. It looked like my middle school free apps I used to use. Don’t get scammed.

Offer was a scam
Once I opened the app for the first time it said try premium features with a free trial and you can cancel the subscription anytime before the next billing cycle. Well guess what, I went to my apple account to cancel the subscription right away (so it won’t roll over to the next billing and it showed that it already charged me a year worth of subscription and canceling with only save me from paying for next year!
Total scam of marketing!!!

Robbed me of my money
This is the worst ad for an app ever, it literally said FREE on it for access to cartoon editor and it charged me $78 dollars !! That’s insane I even clicked the terms of use to be sure it was free NOT ONCE did it say any dollar amount anywhere! And even after installing the app it took forever to find the actual cartoon editor which wasn’t even worth the download to begin with. I pray I get my money refunded because this is insane, app uninstalled.

So stupid 🙄
I was so excited just because I’ve been looking for an app with FREE cartoon effects, keyword FREE. And I had to delete so many things for this stupid app because I had run out of storage and I needed space to download. So I finally get onto the app and I’m all excited, I’m looking for the cool effects I was so excited for, I pick the photo I wanna make a cartoon, and when I was ready to edit it, it asks for monthly payment like wth. If you were gonna make an app that includes monthly payments, why make the app free? Might as well charge to get the app and make everything inside free, not the other way around where the app is free but everything inside has to be payed for. So supid, don’t download 🤡

BULL$H!T
This is ridiculous! I downloaded this app and automatically was charged $80. Deleted the app and emailed support asking for my money back. After hearing nothing back I figured might as well re download the app if I’m not getting my money back and now that I’ve re installed the app, none of my purchases will restore. RIDICULOUS. Emailed again demanding my money back. I will take this further if need be.

Uhh
I’m going to make this short, so there is way too many things that you have to pay for like it’s fine if it like two but this is at least half probably more who knows! But I love how you can make yourself look better like if I need a smaller nose bam there it goes, this is my opinion so please no hate.
