Glad it set me back just $0.99! Still, Apple, you really should delete this offering from the AppStore. ### 1/5 — Won’t even load *2018-09-07* This app looked nice in the App Store. Sadly, I paid 99 cents for an app that will not load pictures from gallery to work on. ### 1/5 — Broken? *2018-08-04, version 1.2* This app does not seem to work on my iPhone 7 running iOS 11.4.1. When I try to load a photo using the apps “gallery” button the interface page white screens and does nothing. ### 1/5 — Horrible. DO NOT BUY *2018-07-23, version 1.2* App doesn’t allow you to use photos from the camera roll/album. It comes up with just a blank screen. ### 1/5 — not what I expected *2017-02-12, version 1.2* After reading the details I decided to buy it to make from my photo something what would look like a real pencil drawing. It is NOT! Very disappointing. obvious a computer made BW photo with some computer animated strikes, very obvious. Waste of my US$ 1.39 ### 1/5 — Awful *2016-01-26* Do not waste any money on this app, does not work at all. No conversion and crashes every time used. Developer should issue credit or fix app. Pay attention Apple ### 1/5 — Mr *2016-01-14* Totally not worth the money- doesn't even look like sketches ### 1/5 — Do not buy ... *2015-11-22, version 1.2* Worthless app ... Has three functions and does not do what it claims in the description ... Don't waste your money even if it's 0.79p... ### 1/5 — Crapest app ever *2015-07-17, version 1.2* Waist of my money want my money back doesn't do what it says grrrr ### 1/5 — Keeps crashing *2015-06-14* I found the tools after rotating device to portrait. But as soon as I tried to adjust anything it crashes. Photos don't look like drawings as advertised either from what I can tell... Just black and white with a texture overlay. Not worth the .99. Should definitely be a freebie... And even that would be too expensive if it crashes before you can do anything ### 1/5 — Wasted 99 cents *2015-04-15* I just downloaded this app and cant get it to work! I cant turn my photo into a sketch! I bought it for this reason!!! ### 1/5 — App only gives filters *2015-04-06, version 1.2* This app doesn't do what it says it will. It gives 2 filters which you can apply to varying degrees. That's all. ### 1/5 — Sketch Machine Pro *2015-02-17* Waste of money. ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2015-01-23, version 1.2* Does nothing like impression given - it's complete rubbish. Simply applies a filter over your picture and converts to monochrome. No way of printing or storing the end result even if you wanted. ### 1/5 — Instructions? *2014-10-09* I wish I could figure out how to make this work. Waste of a dollar. ### 1/5 — Sketch Machine *2014-10-02* I cannot get this app to work. I can load my photo but i do not have any controls. I have back and share but nothing else. I can't find any tutorials online. No instructions anywhere. How do developers expect us to use their apps if they do not post instructions? ### 1/5 — No Instructions *2014-09-07, version 1.2* I have just purchased this App hoping to convert a photo into the kind of drawing shown in the App details. I can find no way of doing this. There are no instructions just a gallery of scribbles you can apply to your photo none of which give the effect shown on the App. Cannot find a way to request help so all in all, very disappointing. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Crap! Avoid…. *2022-12-05, version 1.2* Apple, why do you still have this on your store? It clearly doesn’t work and hasn’t been updated for years. Those who have sadly purchased it should be refunded immediately please! ### 1/5 — Sketch Machine pro *2022-01-21* Bought and paid for this crap and guess what……..the manufacturer needs to upgrade it for use on my iPad Pro. Golly whiz. ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2021-12-28, version 1.2* Same issues all over this app. Won’t save to album and then won’t access album after first attempt. Rubbish.

It’s not a good app to pay for if it’s not gonna allow what you want. ### 1/5 — DO NOT BUY *2019-02-19, version 1.2* I bought this app and it won’t let you edit photos from camera roll it just displays a white screen and the take a picture option just shows a black screen!!
