Why
Hey Apple. I bought this app hoping I can save the pictures needed to help with my needs without the water Mark and it doesn’t let me save. Continuously it’ll say ‘error occurred please try again later’. I’ve been trying for weeks. How can this be fixed?

Not As Advertised
The images in the app description do look like the real thing, but there is an ENORMOUS watermark over the entire photograph. Not to mention, the sketch, even in the lowest definition setting, exaggerates every little unflattering detail in the photograph. For example, it gave my friend (who I was planning to send the image to) huge, dark circles under her eyes. I was thrilled to find a free app with no in-app purchases, but this was a complete and utter disappointment. I would not trust the positive reviews if I were you. My apologies for being so harsh. This app let me down and will probably do the same for you. It honestly seems like it could have been a five star app if it were not for the watermark and the horrible, overexposed detailing. May this be your warning.

One big fault.
THIS, would be a very nice app - for MY needs, if it wasn’t for the lack of one very important thing. I would the ability to SAVE the work of whatever would be done in it, but - for some reason - that feature isn’t allowed me. I paid the $2.99 for the Pro version, yet am NOT getting what is desired. No information comes up for the developer’s website, and nor does the support link work. So, I am out of my $2.99. I wouldn’t have given the one star, that I did, but thought that I had to make a selection, there, in order to have the ability to write this.

Delete!
I downloaded this app to try it out. I understand that there is limited functionality for free apps, and I fully understand this, and have purchased many applications via Apples store. The Application provides NO benefit, and will not even allow some playing around or exploration of the application. I loaded one photo to process. This one photo was un-useable to even evaluate due to its watermark. There is in-fact no functionality for the “free” side of this application. I deleted it! I respect when developers allow some sort of “play time” with their software, there is none here.

Not with premium cost but awesome and useful nonetheless.
Paid for a limited time of subscription, too expensive for what it does. I do love all the different options and levers you can adjust. Will not be renewing subscription though.

Don’t upgrade
This app works great as long as you don’t upgrade. I did, and now I don’t get a photo preview. I just have to apply a certain filter, save it, and see what comes out. Also, I lose the ability to tweak the photos. Eventually I deleted the app, reinstalled without the upgrade and everything is back to normal, ads and all.

You can’t even buy pro, an error occurs
You’re stuck with an app that puts watermarks on your images and does not let you even buy pro for the watermarks to be removed. when you try to buy pro, it says you’re not allowed and throws back an error message. Please fix this problem. It looks like someone else noted this a year ago and yet the app is still broken.

Too much like a photo not at all like a sketch
Sketchers supposed to make some lines and figure out the details and things like your nose or she can supposed to be a line. All it was was like a shading filter. There was no converting into a sketch. Also anything that has a permanent watermark should say trial or demo so it’s like misleading to steal my money in time. There should be another category so I can give them another one star.

So dumb
So I have been searching apps where I can color or draw or whatever to myself or anything in my photos and so I got this app and when it downloaded I went into it all excited. But then basically the entire app is u drawing a picture of u from your photo library apparently to draw a picture from ur photos u need to pay which is the dumbest thing ever and that’s basically the whole app if u want to do why I wanted to do DONT GET THIS APP

What happened?
I have used the free versionFor several years. Recently the ads and become so annoying that I copped up the $1.99 to get rid of ads. However it turns the screen BLACK when I try to use it now. That is not how I expected to get rid of ads! I would like my money back, or response from the developer as to how to get it to work again.

Don’t waste your money
This app appeared to be great and I purchased the pro right away. However, immediately I could tell that there was no way to say the picture. Keeps coming up as error. I will be asking for a refund if the big isn’t fixed with a restart. I may amend my review. In the meantime look for a different sketch app and be sure to read the reviews prior to purchase.

CANNOT SEE PHOTO FOR HUGE WATERMARK THRU IT
You literally cannot see the photo for the huge watermark angled all the way through it, from top to bottom of the photo! And you expect people to buy this??? Don’t let the ratings and reviews fool you! It’s apparent “someone’s” had friends and family doing ratings and reviews! Pretty greedy for an app to not even allow you to save the photo, or see it, without a huge “pencil sketch for iPhone” through the center.

App doesn't work
App will not save without an error message if you add an effect. App at first would not remember purchases without requesting you to remind it to restore. now it seems to remember. But when you go to the option that shows you a colorful photo of the default photo, you can't get it to do that color effect with your own photos.

Cheep.
When I found this app I was really excited, but when I got it however, I found out it wasn’t the same as in the pictures. It had this label right in the middle of the picture. And I’m not talking a little label, I talking a HUGE label! So I couldn’t actually see the picture. Then it says I have to PAY to get the upgrade, but I shouldn’t have to do that! This app is totally not worth it! Only get it if your desperate!

Didn’t know this app had a fee.
In reading what apps are free vs fee, it states if the in the AppStore the app has a “Get” button (as this one does), it’s free. Otherwise it will show a price. So I clicked “Get” but it began to process a charge. I’ve yet to download the app in case I can spare the charge. I did not intend to “purchase” an app, and I would like to insure I am not charged. Unfortunately, the support button leads nowhere. Can you please refund?

Not as advertised
When I opened the app it was nothing like the game said it was I was trying to complete something and then the app just froze and then when I got it to work there was just to many ads I got stressed out and I knew from that point I had to delete it overall I would not recommend this app because it is really annoying to deal with

NO FUN!!
Thi s app is probably the worst of lol time. Every time I try to open it, even though I have already purchased it, it wants me to pay again.. the annul or outright purchase fee for every use. And then the lining work done by the software is also poor. Overpriced bad app that tries to mile it’s users like am Iowa dairy cow. Don’t buy this. ou will regret it!

Nothing is available unless you purchase.
The pencil sketch is created but with the logo on your face. To remove the logo, become a premium member. So, there are no features available for basic, free membership. This should have been mentioned in the app description. I wouldn’t have bothered downloading it.

Error occurred
I purchased this app after I downloaded it to get rid of the watermarks and its a joke. While it removes the watermark, you can’t save or upload the sketch version of your picture. It seems like a scam… it just says, “Error occurred, try back later” but nothing gets resolved. My advice? Don’t bother with it.

How's Yours?
Does yours have no in-app purchases listed? Mine too! I suppose we're all supposed to be happy with a …, a …, let's not kid ourselves. That's not a watermark. I don't know what it is but it isn't a watermark. A watermark shouldn't be a slash across the middle of the photo but it that's the way they like things, by all means, show it in App Store! Not a nice UI either so no great loss.

Disappointing
Very disappointed. Says it’s free. Download only to find all images will have a huge watermark making them useless. If you want the watermark removed you have to pay $1.99 to use the photos. Just charge $1.99 for the ap instead of false advertising and stop wasting my time.

It’s an advertisement masquerading as an app
I’m not expecting too much for a free trial…but actually being able to use the app for a minute without invasive ads just makes me hate the company, and lose all interest in the product.

Stupid App!
It was one of the worst apps I’ve ever seen in this field. Not only a ridiculous ad band in the middle of photos but also a low resolution and just few sketch modes you can use. There are many good pencil sketch apps to be used, just forget about this one!

Seriously?!? DO NOT DOWNLOAD
There is not one free feature. There is a huge watermark over the first picture you create. If you want to remove the watermark you must upgrade. I hate developers like this. Just charge a darn price for your app! Don’t hide behind “FREE” with in-app purchases if you don’t actually offer something free!!!
