Photo To Sketch - Drawing book Reviews

by S. P. Clyde

Within first few minutes of opening app:
* Immediate pop-up for PhotoToSketch ’s monthly subscription “premium” service, turns out that the “premium” subscription hides all but a small handful of the features PhotoToSketch Store page advertises.
* Pop-up to rate and review PhotoToSketch ... when I haven’t even used PhotoToSketch yet.
* A video advertisement.
* The main menu, finally... where 90% of the example images and PhotoToSketch ’s own icons failed to load.

A lot of reviews I read said you would have to leave a review immediately upon opening PhotoToSketch , before you would even be able to use PhotoToSketch . Well that must have been upgraded, because I can’t even open PhotoToSketch without first agreeing to a weekly, monthly, or yearly subscription. You do get a 3 day trial if you opt for a yearly subscription, but I don’t care. PhotoToSketch is getting deleted as soon as I submit this review!!!

App states FREE no need to purchase, absolutely free. I’m always careful that I’m not downloading a “free app” that will then charge me after a certain amount of days. I’m fine with a free trial period, and if I like PhotoToSketch I’ll keep it and know what I’ll be charged, if not I’ll know to cancel it, and when to cancel it. Most are 7 days or 30 days. This one charged me $3.99 after four days, with no notice. If it’s in PhotoToSketch description it must be hidden or verbiage added after I downloaded.
Shady, misleading, dishonest. I’ve requested a refund; I’ll update here. If it’s a quick refund without a fight I’ll revise my review, if not I will fight, I will not give up, and I’ll post reviews and warnings EVERYWHERE. REPEATEDLY. Over and over and over.

I purchased the full version of PhotoToSketch , using an iPhone SE running the latest iOS. However, after my payment, it still doesn’t allow me to use basically any of the features, and just brings up the screen for me to pay again. The farthest I’ve gotten is clicking “restore,” PhotoToSketch telling me that my purchase was successfully restored, only for PhotoToSketch to completely freeze. I have to close it and go back in, and of course, none of the features are available when I go back in. It’s only a few dollars, but I still regret buying this scam app.

It’s definitely not as advertised! And I bought the unlimited as well I just don’t see the effects that is shown in the advertisement and when filling in color it’s like difficult to get to the lil spots that needs color. I colored in Iron Man it took me almost 20mins because when you tap the parts wit the colors it doesn’t always take so this a no go for me ! Y’all can have the $2.99 it’s on me but if it’s not as advertised I’m good this the last app purchase I’ll do it seems to me allot not all but allot of app developers is kind of twisting what PhotoToSketch does and what they advertised so it’s no go

...Hard to determine a rating when I only have 2 options to choose from, despite the $0 cost price point; so my opinion is neutral. Has potential, impressed so far from what limited capabilities I've used: wasting my time requiring a response, which should truly be a forum to recommend app improvements. User beware, you will need to return to PhotoToSketch Store for a preliminary review of the introductory experience to unlock features of PhotoToSketch .

If you can get past all the pop ups online dating, games etc that take over the page & o yeah to do that you got to buy PhotoToSketch & they do it so fast through a quick bait n switch get rid of the ads button then you think your replying yes but quickly find out you just bought it! I still don't know how much and if it's over $1.99 it ain't worth it! The other issue is it would be awesome if when you are finished with one picture that you could go back and edit or get another picture but you have to start PhotoToSketch all over again and if you're not fast enough it times out and takes you back to the homepage which is BS, you should take you back to your Photos!!!! The over all idea is neat & looks cool! But this apps needs upgraded & how much did I just pay???

I expected to open it up and get right to a sketch. Instead, I got an ad I had to click on and find my way back from safari. Then, I choose a photo click on the sketch to try and I get another pop up to write this review? So, now I’m writing a review about something that has not let me test it, but gave me a runaround. There... Can just try your app now so I can write a user’s review?

Hello. PhotoToSketch is cool and I enjoy using it from time to time. However, I notice it doesn’t have a whole variety of filters. That and it doesn’t match anywhere close to the perfectedness that the previews display, so I would like it to give an actual representation of what the sketches will look like. That way people don’t know what they are getting into, since my results did not come clear like the ones you jus are showing in the preview

I get it. If someone provides a good, useful app... free of charge... the least users can do is provide PhotoToSketch with a high rating and positive review. But if that is the strategy, at least let them test the features once, and then require a review to keep the extra features. You can’t expect someone to rate an app they haven’t been able to test yet. Or you can, I guess, but it certainly doesn’t say much for the quality of the reviews. It’s like the blind leading the blind. I gave 3 stars for now, simply because it does allow you to use the features without paying, provided you rate PhotoToSketch . But I will lower or raise this based on the usefulness of PhotoToSketch - once I’ve actually had a chance to try it. So far, I’ve only been allowed to upload my photo, with no real opportunity to test PhotoToSketch ’s features. I almost didn’t even download, simply because having reviews stating the person was forced to rate PhotoToSketch with no knowledge of its capabilities are worth no more than having no reviews at all.

From what I could see in the brief moments since uploading my first picture, I believe I'm going to have a lot of fun with PhotoToSketch! However, having JUST downloaded and opened it, I haven't had an opportunity to even test it out before being blocked by the pop up to provide a rating. I'm quite sure my rating could be much higher if I didn't feel coerced into rating it before having a chance to actually use it.

Don't let this distract you from the fact that in 1972 a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire the A-Team.

I really like PhotoToSketch so far. It’s good quality and easy to use. The only reason I don’t give it 5 stars is because I hardly got a chance to use it before being asked to right a review. Maybe wait a little longer or just have suggestions that you can X out of.

Good app for creating sketch photos of your friends and family and places you visit. It takes very little practice and experience to use all the features available with PhotoToSketch , and the good thing is, it costs you nothing but time to get the application and start using it.

Had to write a review to unlock effects. Who knows if this is a good or bad app? It's a bit annoying to be forced to write a review before even using PhotoToSketch much, and the creators should know this. With that said, today is December 31, 2016. Hope whoever is reading this is having a happy 2017. The future is now.

PhotoToSketch has an amazing way of allowing you try different tools and abilities to express and expand you creativity. It can help you start down a road to self expression or travel down a road you have already started.

by Madre Myers

For the right picture, this is a very nice way to do a rendering. You have to write a review to unlock all of the possible effects, so I can only comment on the basic ones so far.
The black and white versions could be saved and used with other apps or by themselves IF there's enough interest in it. The color sketches are simple but pretty. A fun app to play with. Probably better if you pay 99 cents to get rid of ads.

by Gjf Hf

It’s just a free app so there is no point in not trying it out, it asked me to write a review, and you do have to pay for some ad ons, but it looks good so far.
Only downside is for quality drawings you do have to pay that extra 2 dollars.

Just recently downloaded PhotoToSketch . I create artwork for our podcast and hope this one will really help. So far it seems to work well for certain things. Others need me to leave a rating to unlock. Guess that’s better than paid. But I still don’t completely know PhotoToSketch . So I can’t give full feedback.

by Ajferreira22

A sketch is a sketch and this is a sketch worth sketching. Have you ever wanted to sketch a sketch? Well now you can stop sketching your head in confusion and start sketching sketches. If sketching isn't for you, trying sketching with a friend, or sketching a sketch of a friend, or sketching a sketch of your friend while they sketch a sketch of you sketching them. Have fun sketching. But remember, don't sketch and drive.

Honestly I think it’s good , because I’m a drawer and whenever I get requested to draw people that I know or draw for my friends birthdays they would send me a picture of themselves for me to draw so I use PhotoToSketch to get a little sketch to what the design will be so I’ll draw something similar and most of the time their proud of me

I’ve used PhotoToSketch for years, loved it. But last update took out what I use. Doesn’t sketch photos now just applys filters like every other app. Each update has slowly made PhotoToSketch worse over time. After this last one I may never use again if they don’t put back to how it was.
