5.0 out of 5 stars basic, but cute
Reviewed in the United States on May 25, 2012
Thought this app looked interesting, and since Kt was the faotd I gave it a try. I like leasing around with my photos and while it's true that your picture wont be turned onto a hand drawn piece of art, it does apply a nice little texture the the picture and a sketched looking border. I tried a few of the different looks on some different pictures and thought they looked very cute. I agree with the reviewer who said this would be good for scrapbooking, or really any kind of project where you want to add a quick artistic look. I'm happy enough with it and I'm sure I'll find a use for it.

1.0 out of 5 stars Buggy as heck
Reviewed in the United States on May 24, 2012
When this app works, it sometimes produces passable looking sketches. I uploaded to Amazon the one sketch I managed to save as an example.

Unfortunately, 60% of the time (quite literally, 6 out of 10 attempts), the software just exited without warning and without any sort of error message. Poof! Gone!

But even when it doesn't crash, it still doesn't work! I tried to save the images I created, and it displayed a message that the photos were saved, but when I plugged my tablet into my computer, lo and behold, the folder I saved them in was empty! The only way I was able to actually save an image was to e-mail it to myself.

The controls are just terrible. It takes entirely too many taps to do anything, and the menus love hiding themselves. The tabs to open the menus are so tiny it's hard to hit them.

The app runs in portrait mode, but opening the gallery or using the camera causes it to switch to landscape.

Until they get some of these bugs ironed out, save your money.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works great!
Reviewed in the United States on May 24, 2012
Idk what problems others claim to be having, because this worked flawlessly for me. I tried it with pictures I already had, & took new ones with the app. (Although, I simply refuse to try it with Paula's obese, flab flapping picture. Even if I could fit her all on the screen, I'm positive this app will curl up & die right then & there.) Anyways, I tried every setting, & the brightness/contrast adjustment with each one. All of it worked perfectly. That being said, a lot of camera apps come with a sketch option, & none of these are really any different than that. I just don't see paying an extra price for just this. For free, though, it's great.

I'd say 99.7% of people having problems with this not working either have craptastic phones/tablets, (I'm looking at you, LG Optimus) or they're like 10 years old & have their phones/tablets so full of crappy, malware ridden apps that they can't process anything correctly.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a great app. I first had it several years ago ...
Reviewed in the United States on October 28, 2014
This is a great app. I first had it several years ago on an iPod. I've been looking for it again, since switching to Android. There are other apps similar to this, but this app offers the best choices for effects and is simple to use. I have even made, and had printed, 8.5"x11" portraits with this and Walgreens printing.

2.0 out of 5 stars Cool effects, bad UI, too large, no sdcard support
Reviewed in the United States on May 24, 2012
The effects are definitely cool but probably comparable to most other "sketch" application out there. The UI is bad, the buttons are too small, back key throws you out of the app without warning instead of going back, app loses state so you have to restart every time. The real deal breaker is the size, 17mb is completely ridiculous for such a simple, "toy" app. Without the ability to move it to the SD card, this app won't last long on my phone. Finally, the permissions: why would a sketch app need full internet or access my phone identity? I can't think of any reasons, can you? Overall 2/5 (on Xperia Play 4G)

3.0 out of 5 stars Kinda cool, sketch-look filters for your photos
Reviewed in the United States on May 24, 2012
This is a fun app for people who love to mess with their photos. If you're expecting something like those novelty sketching photo booths you see in arcades (like I was) you may be a bit disappointed. It doesn't actually do any "sketching", but rather applies pre-made sketch "frames" to your photos and modifies the colors based on a number of predefined themes. What you end up with is an image that is quite clearly a photo but with a decent sketch look. You could think of it like taking a color-corrected photo and putting it into a frame that has a sketched border. The look is decent, but if you use the same sketch theme a lot you may notice the same sketch pattern on all your photos.

The app itself is easy enough to use, though I found the crop session to be a little overly complicated. It took me a few moments to figure out where I was supposed to go to finish cropping the image since the crop buttons hid themselves after I started adjusting. It isn't a big deal, but a small set of constantly on-screen buttons may have worked better. The rest of the app is laid-out fairly well, though it feels like it could use a bit of polish here and there, such as with the look adjustment sliders you get after choosing a preset. They just look very out-of-place. The ability to use any crop size instead of being limited to approximately 4:3 or 3:4 ratios would be nice, too.

While I got this as a FAOTD, the $0.99 price point seems ok for what you get, though some may argue that even that is asking a bit much for what is essentially a set of Photoshop filters. I would give this app another star if it improved on the small usability issues, and another if it could add the ability to crop arbitrary ratios instead of fixed portrait and landscape ratios. Overall, a decent, fun app.

1.0 out of 5 stars no stars, but it doesn't let u submit it with out a star :( :-#
Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2014
This app was worthless, I have a editing app, it's really good. I forget what it's called but it has a rainbow butterfly for the logo. Even though you have to take a minute or to, to make a pic sketchy looking, it's better than this. This app just makes your pics look like crap, I'd rather keep them how they were before than use this app.
