No way to get a sketch created! Deleting this app now. Not worth the frustration. ### 1/5 — Horrible Interface *2022-05-03* Impossible to select photos without restarting app. ### 5/5 — SketchMee review *2021-04-29* Fun/easy to use. The adjustable settings is great to get that one shot. Highly recommended. ### 1/5 — Crashes all the time. *2019-12-11, version 1.6.2* Useless. ### 1/5 — Garbage garbage garbage *2018-06-12* Ok. More specifically. All kinds of things happen after you find your way through the model T clunk a dunk interface to add your photo then for some unknown reason it forces you to isolate a face using one of only three aspect ratios. Why a face? Who knows? Why those aspect ratios? Who knows? Moving on... then we get to the smorgasbord main stage chaos zone where scribbles occur over your previously selected face. You engage a menu with a dozen parameters which contain (you guessed it) a bunch of options that only the almighty allah god spirit wandering goat monkey and the hans solo developer understands the meaning of. You blindly stab around making changes but no sense as to what on earth is going on. Then abandon said efforts. Hunt around the App Store to find the place to light this app and thus brings us to the current moment in time. In short: dear devs. Dear god, hire a ux person. ⛩🙏🏼🤷🏼‍♂️ ### 5/5 — The Cats Meow Mix *2016-12-17* I would give this more than 5 stars if I could... I recommend this to everybody!!!! A great app!!! I had to tear myself away from it just to write the review. ### 5/5 — ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ *2016-11-18* 6 Stars! ### 4/5 — Updated review *2016-11-09* Working smoothly now. I'm impressed with the number of presets available and the option to still "tinker" with them. It would be nice if there were a way to save favourites & scroll by number search. ### 3/5 — The app name quite deceiving *2016-11-08* At first i thought this app can create animated gif of the sketch. Unfortunately, its only export as jpeg. It will be nice if we can output as gif or video. Anyway, good app. ## Frequently asked questions about SketchMee 2 ### What does SketchMee 2 do?
