### 3/5 — 何故か落ちる

*2020-11-29*

インストールし直しても落ちます。

アップデートは3年前って、、、

### 4/5 — Sketchify

### 4/5 — Love the paint fx.

*2017-08-24, version 2.0*

Love the paint fx, oil painting and watercolor in particular. Would be nice if you could turn the % of the paint fx up or down. Maybe you can and I just need to explore the app more, idk.

### 3/5 — 良い

*2017-05-05*

味のある、綺麗な画像になる

改善して欲しい点としては、
・自分がフィルターを選択する前にランダムでスケッチが開始されること
・画像がズームされること

これが直れば無料なのが信じられないくらい

### 5/5 — まあまあ

*2019-10-03*

いいんじゃない？

### 5/5 — Great App! Needs instructions.

*2017-06-16, version 2.0*

It's an amazing app for editing photos, but i can't quite understand a few things. Otherwise it's amazing. 
1. How do you add things like words, stickers, other photos? I guess I can use PiZap for that, though. 
2. How do you do the face moderations? It should have instructions, maybe.
3. I don't like how you have to get other apps for some things. But it's okay.

That's really it. It's a great app for editing pictures, my brother loves it (he's a photographer, and is great at taking, editing, and fixing pictures) so I recommend it especially for teens who are learning about photography. The photos are great quality too! It's better than my normal iPad camera! To you who are reading this, I recommend this very much. No problems with it!
