Sketch Master - Cartoon Filter 4+

I downloaded then deleted 4 apps of this type before I got to this one. Some want you to pay but don’t tell you that before you download and some didn’t work well or do much. One was just wonky and strange and didn’t seem to do anything and then crashed. That was such an annoying waste of time I wanted to rate this one simply for working and not wasting my time and being free. I’d rather have ads than find out I have to buy to unlock after downloading. Also, it worked smoothly and offered lots of free filters and allows you to save at different resolutions.

I only gave it two stars because the ways it’s written specifically says that it can be used with any photos. I draw and sketch a lot and those of us who do know how frustrating it can be to try to show shading and depth using the limited capabilities of apps like Snapchat or Instagram to upload our artworks without having to go through the process of pulling out professional devices every time we want to take a photo for our profiles. Sometimes I just want to do a quick live shot, you know? I thought something like this would help wherein perhaps a filter or darkening of the frame could better show shading but this app didn’t do that. And I have to say, the app photograph itself is a little misleading. It had a lot of options but they didn’t apply well to the photos. It looks really.....amateur, even ones I took of myself. Additionally, I had to click off a total of 9 ads in the process of saving just the one photo. I guess it’s okay if you just want to have fun with making funny pictures.

All in all, great app. I was able to convert my photo into a sketch as promised and nothing less. More if I say so myself. I was expecting a cheap, crappy sketch converter but this is good quality. There is also a photo editor. That was surprising to me. Not a bad thing, it’s pretty good as well. One other thing, the app UI is very confusing. A wand that leads to the sketch converter, a crop button that leads to the photo editor. What? I would say this is a great app for people who want their photos in a sketch illustration or just some lazy person who wants their friends to think that they are cool. I would recommend this app to people who aren’t professionals and just want to have fun. Leaving out that one last star for the misleading UI. thanks for reading!
