[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.

  10. [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

  16. [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.
  17. [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
  18. [R34] ToonMe 1/5 · GB Subscribe: This is NOT a free application
  19. [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!!
  20. [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.
  21. [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
  22. [R13] ToonMe 1/5 · GB Shady: I’m on the first day of the trial but they have stopped the PRO part.
