Ranked #1 Entertainment in 38 countries THANK YOU! Trollolol is an endless source of fun. The app is capable of detecting faces on pictures and swapping them with a hilarious variety of rage faces. No need to position & zoom the faces, everything is automatic - and the result is guaranteed to make you laugh. Not satisfied with the result? You are able to edit the image by scaling, flipping, rotating or changing the rageface. You can either modify pictures from your library or snap a photo and transform it immediately. Send the result in email, or save it to your library! Note that Trollolol will give best results if not used on close-up portraits, and the subject is facing the camera.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Trollolol at 4.5 against Doodle Kids's 3.7. Trollolol also leads on ratings volume (500 vs 21). Doodle Kids's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Trollolol sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Doodle Kids asks for nothing beyond the download.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Trollolol holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Trollolol has 500 ratings behind it against 21, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 82% of Doodle Kids's written reviews are positive against 81% of Trollolol's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and November 1, 2026 respectively.
