  4. [R12] ToonMe 3/5 · GB Not good if your dark skinned: I do love this app but had to be 3 stars due to every-time I try to do a picture with a person darker skinned these pictures all try to make them fairer skinned. Absolute great for lighter skin. My sister in law of very dark skinned and this just makes her shiny and very very light.
  5. [R27] ToonMe 3/5 · GB More instructions would be welcome: Looks good but how to get results in it is unclear. Needs more clarity. I have since discovered how to use it properly results now OK.
  6. [R37] ToonMe 5/5 · GB Pretty good: Really good app only thing I would say is that it is quite glitchy and slow but other wise a great and easy way of editing !

  8. [R4] ToonMe 1/5 · GB Joe: Doesn’t work. Full stop. Waste of time.
  9. [R15] ToonMe 3/5 · GB Buy more servers to deal with capacity: I pay for premium yet I haven’t been able to use the app at all for over half an hour. A message keeps popping up saying your app has had an influx of users and that you need time to pick up capacity - with all due respect this shouldn’t be happening, especially not at the expense of premium users, too. I otherwise had no other issues with the app, would’ve
  10. [R20] ToonMe 4/5 · GB Slow but good: It is a great app but it takes ages
  11. [R3] ToonMe 3/5 · GB it’s alright: the app is alright but i can’t cancel my subscription, so idk how long that’s gonna go on for.
  12. [R7] ToonMe 1/5 · GB Its a thief: This app stolen my money without asking me even its in free trial period. This is an unsafe app. Pls answer me if there any responsible person.
  13. [R9] ToonMe 3/5 · GB Good but subscriptions are faulty: I subscribed for the free trial. I cancelled the subscription before the trial finished and was told I would still have access to the trial and it would expire on a certain date. Every time I now open the app I get the nag screen to subscribe again.
  14. [R10] ToonMe 2/5 · GB Don’t scam: Put up appropriate tags such as in app purchases and contains ads. Don’t try to scam people into installing looking like a free app.
  15. [R22] ToonMe 1/5 · GB Terrible!!!!!: Paid for a full year and I’m about 1 month in and it’s saying I need to go premium again! Scam!!
  16. [R25] ToonMe 1/5 · GB I can barely use it T- T: So, I had this app around 1 year ago and loved it! I had access to so many cool features and hadn’t payed for anything. I deleted it though for some more space on my phone and when I downloaded it again a week ago, basically everything you had to have the subscription for I couldn’t do ANYTHINGGGG. And to add to that, the amount of adverts is ridiculous. I won’t be downlo
  17. [R34] ToonMe 1/5 · GB Subscribe: This is NOT a free application
  18. [R36] ToonMe 1/5 · GB Not Free: Although one review points out that this is free, IT IS NOT FREE! I know this isn’t produces review however, it is the one you see that makes you download it in the first place, So if you don’t want to pay £30, something pounds a year don’t go any further!!
  19. [R19] ToonMe 2/5 · GB Quite disappointing…: Ok, so at first I was thrilled that such an app was available and excited to use it, however, as soon as I got on the app , all I saw was too many ads and it was very tedious. The actual content was ok, expected better though. Overall, I do not recommend.
  20. [R24] ToonMe 3/5 · GB Great app but to many adds: Amazing results however there are to many ads and it seems as thought the app adds extra steps to each image just to show you another add
  21. [R28] ToonMe 2/5 · GB Resons: U cannot always toon Everything and if u can it gives lots of ads or takes ages also cannot use without internet 😢
  22. [R13] ToonMe 1/5 · GB Shady: I’m on the first day of the trial but they have stopped the PRO part.
