### 3/5 — Glitching

*2026-07-04, version 2.1.2*

Every time I want to open the app and I arrive to making the selection, I get kicked out and have to start over again. On a positive note. I was able to purchase the app for a year.

### 2/5 — Keeps crashing / need to reload

*2026-05-21, version 2.0.7*

I am making adult color books..but the Sketchyfy keeps crashing..then I have to reload…very ignoring ..check apps store & reload but still crashes after one time ..disappointed..but love the images it makes from a photo…

### 1/5 — Nul

*2026-03-29*

Résultat obtenus, très enfantin, je pourrais le faire juste avec un calque. 
Je déconseille cette application, perte de temps.

### 2/5 — Bilder nicht Druckbaf

*2026-03-26*

Bilder wurden erstellt sehen auch toll aus, wenn ich sie drucke kommt nichts raus. Weises Blatt, nehme ich eine eigene Datei von mir kommt was aus dem Drucker raus

### 1/5 — Crops original pic too small.

*2026-03-20, version 2.0.1*

Since the update, it crops the uploaded pic and cuts off most of the photo. Please fix this. I paid for a year starting in January. If you are not going to fix it,  I want my money back.

### 2/5 — It was great until it wasn’t

*2026-03-16, version 1.1.5*

It was a little temperamental at first but once I figured it out it was impressive. The detail and faces are fabulous. Then the app quit working. I have tried to reinstall and have reached out to no avail. Quite expensively be if they don’t fix that snag. Sad it doesn’t work anymore.

### 1/5 — Just unexpectedly quit working

*2026-03-13, version 1.1.5*

No longer works. I paid for a year subscription. Quit working after. a couple weeks

### 2/5 — Glitching

*2026-03-06, version 1.1.5*

Every time I want to open the app and I arrive to making the selection, I get kicked out and have to start over again. I deleted the app and once installed, the option for purchasing it at 39.99 for the year was removed. Now if I want to use the app, I have to pay 9.99 per week.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2026-03-02, version 1.1.4*

Love the app pay for a year but stop working

### 2/5 — Bugs

*2026-03-01, version 1.1.4*

When it works it’s great/ it will all of the sudden stop working, so you have to cancel the plan and then get a refunded then reload it with another plan. Then it works then it stops working and you have to do the whole process again

### 2/5 — Fades

*2026-02-28, version 1.1.4*

Lucy

### 3/5 — Aspect ratio

*2026-02-05, version 1.1.2*

I can’t import images without the program cropping the image.  The program should have an option to select the image size

### 1/5 — problems for the 4th time

*2026-02-04, version 1.1.2*

What a joke again this app isn't working it's been a month and a half and I haven't been able to use it once and I'm not joking I'm so fed up with this app

### 3/5 — Love it!  but…..

*2026-02-03, version 1.1.2*

It keeps freezing with no other applications running.

### 1/5 — Lame

*2026-02-01, version 1.1.2*

This needs to indicate that there are in app purchases. It appears as if this is a free app and as soon as you load it, it’s asking for you to subscribe to a yearly plan and weekly plan. Please do the right thing and show the app purchases before somebody downloads it and waste their time.

### 1/5 — Cropping not working

*2026-01-30, version 1.1.2*

I don’t like the fact when it comes to cropping the photos there’s not any flexibility of getting my picture in the whole frame. Because of this, I’ve asked for a refund,  I have not heard anything back.

### 1/5 — 0 stars!! Charged $59.99 when I signed up for a free trial!! DO NOT DOWNLOAD OR SUBSCRIBE TO THIS

*2026-08-23, version 2.3*

Do not and I repeat do not download this app. They will charge you when you signed up for a free trial. Now Apple won’t let me download anything.

### 1/5 — Tệ

*2026-08-09, version 2.2*

Quá tệ. Tạo hình thì xấu còn suốt ngày quảng cáo

### 1/5 — Great until it crashes and no help

*2026-07-20, version 2.1.2*

Spend more and get a better quality app. Canvas free app is just as good and doesn’t crash. I have done numerous restarts, and reinstalls.

### 1/5 — Buggy

*2026-07-16, version 2.1.2*

This app has potential but its features leave A LOT TO BE DESIRED. There seems to be no way of giving the app full access to my Photo album beyond ‘Private’ and the Draw in App and Draw in AR buttons do NOTHING but bring up the Notifications Window and moving to the Privacy and Security window does not have the ability to add Sketchfy. Please FIX these deficiencies!

### 1/5 — Nicht zu empfehlen Schrott.

*2026-06-24*

Man muss mal wieder ein Abo abschließen. Und in der Testung kann man nicht mal die Wasserzeichen entfernen. Sind natürlich genau im Bild drin. Und die kostenlosen Malvorlagen laden nicht einmal. Nur Scam. Und Müll.

### 1/5 — scam

*2026-05-25, version 2.0.8*

This app crashed all the time. I have had to delete and reinstall 8 times already. That’s the first issue and that should be enough for a 1 star but oh no there’s more. Second issue was that I signed up for a 3 day free trial and was billed for a whole week on the second day before I could cancel!! No response from email I sent developer. Avoid this scam 3 day so called free trial bc you will be billed and Apple won’t do a thing about it. Are you listening at all developer??? You scammed me and committed fraud by charging my credit card a day earlier than you were supposed to. REFUND MY MONEY!!

### 1/5 — Paid subscription

*2026-05-19, version 2.0.6*

I have a paid subscription. I used it a little and from yesterday the app is closing when I try to upload a photo 👎

### 1/5 — Hate it

*2026-05-05, version 2.0.5*

More like sketchyify, I mean it’s just rude to force watermarks onto an artwork, plus I had a character I put in the ai and for some reason it made the lips HUGE and nothing like the pic. However I thought it was cool and funny when it said “adding cute details” but cooooome on, I’ll just make a colouring in colorify ai! 😡

### 1/5 — Very unhappy

*2026-04-01, version 2.0.2*

This app will not give me a cancellation option so it’s ripping me off, avoid like the plague

### 1/5 — Started out Great

*2026-03-30, version 2.0.2*

But stopped working on my iPad. Tried loading it on my Mac and it does not really work well there. Disappointed. It started out SO well. Beautiful images and easy to use. Then it just started freezing.

### 5/5 — Best Artistic Aid Out There!

*2026-05-16, version 2.0.6*

I’ve tried a LOT of apps trying to convert convert photos to scale drawings for transfer to various mediums, since I work in watercolor, pen and ink, graphite, colored pencils and pastels, All the Things, basically. And some are so-so for outlining but not worth shelling out money for. THIS one actually comes through in several areas (note: I do not use any of the live tools or coloring book settings, so can’t speak to them) The artistic presets, for instance fine-line ink drawing, is incredible.  You could literally print it out from the app on vellum, trace to Bristol paper and draw over the lines with a finelline technical pen, sign it and frame it without hardly changing any hashmarks. Seriously.  Several of the watercolor results for “portraits” I’ve run through it have been surprisingly good too, with the same results possible.  If you work in mixed media or illustration, there are 2 very good presets for those. Colored pencil is a tiny bit overdone, but I can correct with little changes. 

I even had a small issue and couldn’t use the app due to an Apple update problem and felt panicked, reached out to the Sketchify developers, and they had me back up and running by the next day.  

Overall, I’m stunned with how well this apparently under-utilized app has been my absolute go-to for converting photos into the first step for any art I do, and I can’t stress enough how impressed I am.

### 5/5 — Good but not

*2026-04-12, version 2.0.4*

This app is only really good for printing coloring sheets instead of coloring on the app😅

### 5/5 — BLAST!

*2026-03-01, version 1.1.4*

This app is wonderful fun!  I'm making a coloring book for 7 grandchildren who all live in different states.  They are going to love coloring all the different memories we've made over the years!  It's easy, has several choices of options of color and it's just fun!  Good spent money for sure!!

### 5/5 — Creative

*2026-02-09, version 1.1.2*

This is so fun!! I’m addicted. I’m definitely going to share with my students!!!

### 5/5 — Cartoons

*2026-01-26, version 1.1.2*

Excellent

### 5/5 — Dude!!!!!

*2026-01-11, version 1.1*

Dude, this is spot on! So impressed! Lots of possibilities! Get it! Life makes sense now!

### 5/5 — Nice one

*2025-12-31*

It’s a fine app for breaking down a picture to rebuild it

### 5/5 — Great way to turn photos into art

*2025-12-27*

I was surprised by how good the sketches and coloring pages look. Uploading a photo takes seconds and the styles are really nice. I mostly use it to print coloring pages and it works perfectly. Simple interface, no bugs so far, and good value for the price.

### 5/5 — Amazing app for kids and family time

*2025-12-26*

This app is super easy to use and the results are actually impressive. I turned a few photos into coloring pages for my kids and they loved it. The printable quality is great and there’s no watermark after subscribing. Definitely worth it if you want something creative and fun at home.

### 5/5 — “Great app for turning photos into coloring pages.

*2025-12-14, version 1.04*

The outlines look professional, and the result is perfect for both kids and adults. I like the variety of coloring styles and how fast the processing works.
If you enjoy coloring or want to create personalized pages as gifts, this app is a must-try.”
