Photo Sketch - Doodle Effects for Negative User Reviews
✓ Sketch FaceIt is very accurate with its drawings but not always does it do well with the “camera” and it’s not what I’m using so maybe you can fix that later on..Version: 4.7
✓ What Just Happened?The app worked perfectly until I paid the $0.99 and "upgraded." Now, all I can do is select a texture. Not one of the other buttons will even respond. I have this on an iPad Pro, but just to double check, I also installed it on my XS Max - exact same problem. Disappointed. Gonna have to find a replacement app and request a refund..Version: 4.7
✓ Used to be my favoriteI am giving one star out of respect for what this app used to be. Since the update, this app is unusable. Unless you delete, reinstall, and DO NOT restore. Once you restore, the buttons along the top (camera, settings, and undo) no longer work. So, basically, you can see all of the cool features without actually using them. Unless you want to deal with ads. The app, with the ads, works fine. Until you restore your purchase. 😒 Definitely and awesome app when it works, though!.Version: 4.7
✓ Bought it, now it doesn’t work.Bought the app, and when the banner is gone, the add photo and take picture buttons no longer work. No reply from creator, and unable to use Chinese messaging app he/she has set up for “contact creator”. IPhone SE size might be the issue, but 1 star for communication. To Creator: Fix this to have this review changed..Version: 4.7
✓ Well it's okay?? I guess ........ It is kind a boringBoring.Version: 2.0
✓ Used to be fantasticHas become unusable as a paid app as the ability to open the gallery or use the camera has ceased to function. I find it amazing that before you buy the upgrade it works fine though with out many of the transformations and many many adverts. I have re-rated this app from 5 stars to one as the developer seems not to want to fix this issue. He must find it more lucrative to have the advertising revenue he is now generating. Not from me as I am uninstalling and finding a better app. 😒😒😒 Tried again bug still not fixed such a shame time to uninstall again. I wonder if the developers reads this if they do then they should be banned from using the apps site as charging to “break” the app to me is fraudulent!.Version: 4.7
✓ Not bad needs improvementBit bad however there isn’t a chance you can get me to pay for any extras on this app. Whilst it’s ok in its quality the options for multi editing after selecting your paper. The paper you chose can sometimes have no additive options for editing thereafter. This is the disappointing part as most of the paper textures are little dark on the exposure.Version: 4.7
✓ Not workingI purchased the upgrade and then the touch response to change the picture and the settings button was unresponsive as well. Thought I liked it for a second when I first downloaded it then I upgraded and it quickly changed my mind about the app. Should the problem be resolved in the next coming update I will not hesitate to come back to the app if and only if it would be fixed completely. Best regards..Version: 4.7
✓ Is either a scam or absurd incompetence.When I used the free/full of ads version I could get access to my own photos. Not access to certain features...you have to pay .99$ so I did..... now it doesn’t give me access to my photos...I’ve checked every thing.. every setting. Every thing!! No luck. Uninstalled it. Free version works fine again as soon as I restore... same story stuck with my last pic and no access to my photos... just a garbage app. Don’t download don’t buy do yourself a favor!.Version: 4.7
✓ NEVER DOWNLOAD THIS APPApp is just an Advertisement plug for google and only works in free version but spy’s on your preferences for certain advertisers. I paid for no advertising and extra backgrounds but it fails to work from that point onwards... Come on Apple pull it from the store as it is in violation of merchants law and is defrauding people of the dollars that could be spent on a legitimate program. I HAVE BEEN BITTEN TWICE NOW BY THIS DEVELOPER- doesn’t Apple care about its customers?.Version: 4.7
✓ Controls stopped working when I upgradedI just purchased the upgraded version and the top menu controls stopped working. I can’t access my photos, refresh, or access settings. This happened immediately after I upgraded. I tried turning the phone off and on again and deleting and reinstalling the program. Once I install the trial version, everything works, but once I restore the upgrade, the controls stop working. This is very disappointing. I’ve found the program very handy..Version: 4.7
✓ Only one star now as after only one pic it's crashed & doesn't work!😡😡😡DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!!! What a waste of money I keep on reclosing the page and it won't let me download one of my own photos to use to actually edit. I want my 99c back. Waste of money to unlock pages when you can't even get it to download your photo in the first place. Huge waste of money! Guess it just cost me 99c to edit only one photo. Shame on you developers and it's not my equipment as I've got a new iPad Air..Version: 4.7
✓ Awesome AppI just started a course on sketching. This app has allowed me to create sketches from some of my favorite pictures. Very cool! UPDATE: What is not too cool is when I just loaded the paid version. Was happy to get rid of pop ups but now the top row of buttons does not work. No longer able to load from photo album. Huge letdown. Please make it awesome again! I’ll change my review back to a solid 5..Version: 4.7
✓ Upgraded, stopped workingPaid for the upgrade, now it won't load photos.Version: 4.7
✓ MonteLooks good but haven’t figured it out yet.Version: 4.7
✓ Needs an easy method of providing feedback to the developerThis is a nice enough app. I upgraded it and it broke it. I cannot open images anymore. I have to delete the app and reinstall it for it to work again—and that is the free version. When the paid version is restored, it breaks again. What’s more is that there is not an obvious way to submit a bug. The dev’s info page is in Chinese..Version: 4.7
✓ A Complete Failure - Do Not BotherOn an iPad Pro using the latest version of iOS this app DOES NOT WORK. The ‘Camera’ icon DOES NOTHING! The ‘Cogwheel’ icon DOES NOTHING! All the user can do is alter the sample image provided by the developers with different edge detection algorithms and some textures and send the results to Instagram or by email. Why would you bother????? COMPLETE FAILURE AS AN APP - SHOULD BE PULLED FROM THE APP STORE UNTIL IT WORKS AS INTENDED!.Version: 4.7
✓ Don’t buy this appDon’t buy this app, as soon as you do just about everything locks up, it’s about time the developer did something to correct this judging by the date of the first comment pointing out the faults. I stupidly bought it before reading the comments, something I normally do not do, but I thought for 99 cents what could go wrong and everything did !!!!! NO STARS AT ALL FOR THIS !!!!! Unfortunately I was made to select one star to enable me to post this, but in reality absolutely NO STARS WHATSOEVER !!!!!.Version: 4.7
✓ Upgrading makes the app stop workingI upgraded and when I tried to add a new photo to filter it wouldn’t allow me to. I had to delete and re-download the app to upload a new picture and when I restored my purchase to stop seeing an ad every time I wanted to save something, it did the same thing. I could no longer start on a new photo. It’d be ridiculous if you’re expected to pay $.99 for every use but even if that’s the case, there doesn’t appear to be any way to do that without deleting and downloading the app again..Version: 4.7
✓ Bad supportWorks in free mode then only able to work on demo photo when purchased. Also misrepresenting price for purchase. Please ensure this app is compatible to latest iOS version or ensure all purchasers having the same issue receives refunds immediately..Version: 4.7
✓ Money takerI put this app on my iPad and many of the features were locked so I paid for the upgrade and guess what? Could not use a picture from my album. The app just would not accept it... Can I please have my money back.Version: 4.7
✓ UnethicalEven though I paid for this app, I am continually bombarded with ads. Sometimes i am forced to watch an ad before accessing the app, other times my work flow gets interrupted because the app won’t render the image until the ad finishes. Very unethical and frustrating. The developers are greedy, despite charging full price for the app, they want to make extra cash through these annoying ads, disregarding their obligations to customers who bought the app. I am disgusted by their greed..Version: 4.7
✓ Absolute Rubbish!After purchasing this app to unlock the additional features, I found the app is prone to lockup. The Camera and Settings icons do not work when the app locks up. Funny how the app appears to work well before you pay to remove ads, and unlock the additional features. I uninstalled then reinstalled the app. It seems to work fine in “free” mode, but once I restored my purchase, it locks up again after one image. Do not purchase this app. You’ll just waste your money and get frustrated. Shame I can’t leave it with zero stars..Version: 4.7
✓ Gros problèmeDès que vous acheter la version Pro, les trois boutons du haut ne fonctionnent plus. Donc, on ne peut plus télécharger une autre photo. C'est un bug important qui rend l'application inutilisable. Les bonnes évaluations viennent de la version gratuite, mais avec toutes les publicités. Je ne suis pas le premier à avoir ce problème et il n'est toujours pas réglé. Je crois que c'est plus payant pour eux d'avoir la version avec la publicité..Version: 4.7
✓ Not badWhen you start getting an idea and the ad pop ups become annoying..Version: 4.7
✓ App Stops RespondingThis started out as a great app that I used frequently. I paid for the extra background canvas textures, filters and to eliminate the adds. Recently, it has worked for a few pics, then stops responding altogether. As another reviewer suggested, I have removed it, then reloaded the app several times just to get it to start working again. But the problem persists failing to respond when trying to download a new project. So, I have been looking for another photo sketch app..Version: 4.7
✓ Great until purchased to remove adsThis app was great until I purchased it to remove the ads. It freezes and I’m unable to use any of the upper icons to add, change, or save photos. If I delete the app and reinstall it, it works again until I try and remove the ads. Very frustrating and from reading other reviews this is a problem that has been going on for several months with no fix..Version: 4.7
✓ What wrong with this app?The description says you can download PHOTOS but it only let me download 1 !! What a load of rubbish and you can’t contact the site as it’s in Chinese and you can’t fine anywhere to write to them. Reporting this app to Apple. Don’t bother buying. What a waste !!.Version: 4.7
✓ Once you pay for no ads, it stops workingWaste of money! I paid for the ads to be removed and now it Won’t let me access my photos to edit. Wish I read all these reviews before I downloaded and paid for it..Version: 4.7
✓ S.ShenIt just worth one star.Version: 1.1
✓ DO NOT upgrade!!The app worked fine, even with the highly annoying banner ads continuously popping up in the free version. As soon as I decided to get rid of the ads and purchase the full version it no longer worked. I can no longer upload any photos from my phone or take any photos with it. Clearly a flaw that they have not bothered to fix since I saw the same complaint from over a year ago. Don’t give them any of your money!.Version: 4.7
✓ Bought pro version stopped workingI bought the pro version, and now I am unable to import any photos. The top three buttons stopped working on my iPad. Disappointed.Version: 4.7
✓ Photo sketchIt’s not working !!.Version: 4.7
✓ Doesn’t workA complete non starter..Version: 4.7
✓ Purchased Version BrokenPity I hadn't read the prevous reviews, I liked the free version but irritated by the ads I too purchased the ad free option. Like the previous reviewer I then found the app completely unusable for exactly the same reasons, so I then had too delete the App and re-install the free version. I tried contacting the developer but that site is only in Japanese!.Version: 4.7
✓ Do not use, or at least don’t pay for ad-free versionI’ve had the paid upgrade for several years. A few updates ago, it stopped working. Completely. The only way to use the app is uninstall, then reinstall, but do not restore the ad-free version. The developer has not fixed the bug and has not responded to complaints. Rip off. He takes your money, then makes more money off you every time you use the ad-supported version when you can’t access the upgrade you paid for..Version: 4.7
✓ Updated App and Lost accessI liked this, but after purchasing an item to unlock a filter, I lost access to the top icon actions (camera , settings, etc), but was able to get access back after erasing and reinstalling. Unfortunately though, after opting to 'Restore' the purchase, it locked me out again. Please help, as can't find a way to get support..Version: 4.7
✓ Don’t BUY the add-on! There’s a glitch with it!All right so the app itself is straight up amazing! I have no actual complaints about it other than when I bought the add-on sketches it keeps glitching and I can’t use upload a new photo or go to the settings. In other words I can only use the bottom icons, but not the top icons whenever I use the $1.00 version opposed to the free version. No problems with the free version at all..Version: 4.7
✓ Mixed opinionI used this once and it was great. I had many different ways of changing a photo. However every time I have tried to use it since then has been impossible. I cannot upload a new photo. So for me a waste of money as I did pay for it..Version: 4.7
✓ Bugs bugs bugsLike many other people who have posted reviews I loved the app but when I paid to remove ads the top row of buttons no longer respond making this a useless app. As of today it still hasn’t been patched and this bug is effecting tons of users and there is no reply from the app developers. It is really frustrating that the app was fine until I actually gave them money. Than it died. If they fix that bug it’s a 5 star app until than it’s a waste of space..Version: 4.7
✓ Bug after upgradeI bought this a long time ago and have been enjoying this but after the most recent upgrade or iOS upgrade, I am not able to import and save photos from/to the phone. All the icons on the top of the screen (import/save/setting)stopped responding and not working any more. If I go back to the version with all the annoying ads, all functions start working again. I don’t know whose fault it is (apple or developer) but it really stinks. Because I have been enjoying this app, I wanted to give a 5star rating but I can only give 1 star until this problem has been resolved..Version: 4.7
✓ Photo Sketch Doesn’t workAfter paying for it I find it doesn’t work. All I see is the picture of a woman and the camera and settings icons are not active. Not happy at all, I will be contacting the App Store for my money back..Version: 4.7
✓ Photo SketchThings have gotten off to a very bad start .... I'm hoping I can get this app going by rebooting my iPad. I started with a single photo and in the process of enhancing it when the app said I could unlock some features by paying 99 cents. So I did but the features didn't get unlocked. 😩 Worse yet, after force quitting and restarting the app, a number of the controls are now locked and I can no longer open a new image to enhance. Net: unless rebooting iOS gets this app going with my purchased enhancements, I will delete it and chalk it up as a bad experience..Version: 4.7
✓ Great features too many adsLove this app but the ads are drowning it! I’ve never seen an app with such frequent ads, it’s made me start searching for another app..Version: 4.7
✓ I have tried this app and I have nothing good to say about itI have had lots of sketch apps before but this one has too little to work on and the difference between one picture to the next is not enough change to myself I’m going to stop my subscription and uninstall it.Version: 4.7
✓ Why won't you fix this app!!!This could be a great app if you would just fix the top buttons. So many other people have complained of the same problem. You can't load pictures or do anything but adjust the default photo. People have paid for this app including myself and no one will fix it. Apple should not allow products to be sold in their store if they don't work or no longer work as promised. Wake up Apple. As if you haven't be sued enough..Version: 4.7
✓ TerribleApp stops working when you pay for additional features! The app support page is in an unrecognisable language so you can’t ask for a refund or advise to fix the issue. I will report to Apple..Version: 4.7
✓ Great appThis app is phenomenal but I’m now having trouble after I bought it. The top 3 options don’t work when I tap on them (the photo, redo and settings options). At first I thought it might be my phone but when I opened up other apps where there were things at the top in the same areas to tap, they worked. I have an iPhone 7. Anyway, I like the app a lot and hope this issue can be addressed and fixed soon. Thank you..Version: 4.7
✓ Can not import photo into the appIt doesn’t work.Version: 4.7
✓ Re: reviewI purchased this app and it froze on me so I deleted it and re-installed only for me to be given the free version instead of the paid version of the app. Why should I pay twice for the same app????.Version: 4.7
✓ NoneI’ve made loads of beautiful pictures using this app, but lately I have to go through two ads, then select the picture from my roll, then go through two more ads, and after all that my picture doesn’t come up. Tried it three times, no luck. And I paid for premium, which did not transfer when I had to get a new phone 4 years ago. Bring back the working app!!!!!.Version: 4.8
✓ Paid versionI have purchased the full version and I am unable to access any icons on the top section it does not do anything..Version: 4.7
✓ This was supposed to be free and easy to use. Does not work. Too bad.I am going to remove it now..Version: 4.8
✓ ArnaqueurTrois boutons ne fonctionne pas !!!.Version: 4.7
✓ Useful but frustratingBeen using this for years now, across multiple devices. It’s good at what it does... but has some frustrating quirks. First, if you pay to upgrade, it immediately LOSES the ability to save. I have to uninstall and then reinstall every time I use one of the “paid” filters. Secondly, I periodically get notifications that “new filters are available” and then somehow the update has no new filters. I seriously think they are just bot notifications that have no actual updates attached. At the end of the day, it’s still a useful app, but it doesn’t seem to be maintained or updated at all by the developer..Version: 4.7
✓ Once you pay app becomes unusableI bought this app a while ago. Some of the features that I paid for were locked so I restored my purchase. Once I restored my purchase the app locked and wouldn’t allow me to use any of the function buttons at the top of the screen. So what this means is I can not load any pictures and therefore I can’t use the app at all. The only way to remedy this is to delete the app and reinstall it. When I delete and reinstall app I am back to unpaid app functionality..Version: 4.7
✓ App no longer allows images to be imported.I liked the simplicity of the app - wish it still worked. Today, I saw it seemed to be updated, it worked once - then none of the buttons across the top of the screen want to work anymore. I think the author is trying to fix it - so I gave him a 2nd star. — I see updates - but none address its’ failure to work. I deleted the app, re-downloaded it, unlocked the app, it will load one image and then that button (the camera one) freezes and refuses to work. So that plus clearing the image area needs addressing..Version: 4.7
✓ AD too much!Try to use the app but adver keep pop up! Annoying!.Version: 3.0
✓ App not workingI liked what this app did. I paid for it. The app stopped working. I’ve turned the phone on and off. Tried multiple times to get it to work. So far no luck. Now I’m seeing in reviews from as long as two years ago that other people experience the same problem I’ve been seeing - that the top row f buttons, including the button for importing photos, is frozen and won’t work. And this is the punishment a person gets for paying for the non-ad version? How is it possible that this has been a problem for years and nothing has been done about it?!?!.Version: 4.7
✓ NikmasalesWish there weren’t locks on some of the filters.Version: 4.7
✓ BadDoes not work.Version: 4.8
