My Sketch - Pencil Sketches Reviews

I really like MySketch. It uses a lot of different effects to create hand drawn effects of your pictures. The only reason I rated it 4 instead of five is because I had a super hard time figuring out how to just save it to my photos album! It wants you to share on social media - but I finally got it to save to photos! If the developers make it easier to just save the image - I would give it a 5 star rating. If you draw and understand the different techniques that they offer for your effects of your photos, you will enjoy this apps sophistication of drawing skill. The only other tho g that bothered me is that I crop my images carefully and want to include All of my image in the effect- MySketch ends the effect and leaves part of your image faded out- or missing in the artistic drawing effect. Some of its filter effect do give you the entire image, but you really need to try them to find them.

I agree with the other reviewer. This is a great app and I particularly like that is one of the few drawing apps that allow you to process a photo in a format other than a square — but I cannot figure out how to save to my Camera Roll. I’m always having to email the images to myself so that I can then save them to the Camera Roll. I gather that there is a way to do it directly but I haven’t been able to figure it out. Please make it more clear within MySketch and, in the meantime would you post instructions as part of your listing on iTunes. Your users are tearing their hair out over this issue!

Search for "pencil sketch" on MySketch Store and you will get a ton of terrible apps that all use the exact same filters. This is not one of them. This one has a pleasant, non-obnoxious interface. No bugs. No nagging to rate it or buy upgrades.

It has some pretty ok filters. If I want an edge detection-based filter I think I'll use MySketch.

It doesn't have any real sketch filters that use strokes. It instead has a scan of a piece of paper with scribbles on it and composites your photo over it in black and white. Kind of a joke if you want a pencil sketch but it's an ok look if that's what you want.

I like MySketch, but there is a problem accessing the adjustment sliders at the bottom of the screen. On my iPhone X s max, I see only a slider to adjust brightness. However, on my iPad (6 th gen) I can see that “contrast” is below the brightness control, but the word “contrast” is cut off by a white space on the screen which also covers the slider control for contrast. I wonder if there other adjustments I cannot access.

I down loaded a different sketch type program before this one and was really irritated. It was full of annoying pop ups including one app that took over my phone once before. MySketch is fun and gets great responses from friends every time I share a new sketch. No pop ups. Short review cause I want get back to my photos .

I wanted an app that could take a scan and let ME adjust it and colorize it. That is not what MySketch does ... what it does, it seems to do OK - that is, it turns your picture into something that looks like an artist drew it. Fine. And once you save it, it wants to post it to your choice of several social media sites.

But, the entire program is not fitting well inside the frame of my iPad Air 2 with the latest iOS. So even if I wanted to do what MySketch does, I really can’t do it because not all the ‘controls’ are visible on my iPad screen.

I think I’ve had MySketch for a long while. But I hadn’t used it In quite sometime. But my creative juices comes and go. Out of the blue I wanted to sketch a few things and MySketch was right there. My first attempt was quite good so I kept using MySketch for a few things with solid results.

Downside? My iPhone 6 had been problematic for a while and I hadn’t updated from iOS 10 to iOS 11 yet.

I finally got the update and unfortunately there was some UI Issues after the update. I can still sketch photos but certain features are inaccessible due to a part of the screen being covered up on my iPhone.

Looks like the developer is still around so hopefully they read this and get MySketch updated.

I have MySketch for ever and love it!! I’m very grateful the developer just updated it without asking for a fee or even a subscription like it’s the unjustified trending now. I would have paid without hesitation for the update but would have dropped it for a subscription! Thanks a lot to the developer. God bless you

I have had MySketch for years. I absolutely love it for creating sketches from photos.

Unfortunately, the developer has not updated this incredible app for newer phones (iPhone X and iPhone XS XS/Max) with different dimensions. Features are not showing on the screen such as the contrast sliders and MOST IMPORTANTLY, the ability to save a sketch! I am forced to “share” the sketch and email it to myself.

MySketch would undoubtedly be a FIVE STAR app if the developer would update it for the newer, larger phones.

Really, the only knock for me is that when I open it in my iPad, the very bottom of the workspace is cut in half by a white boarder so I can see that there is a contrast slider, but can’t use it. It was by happenstance that I hit some icon on the bottom right and it was the “save” button. Other than that, (and if you can tell me how to access it) the contrast slider is the only thing that I am slightly disappointed in MySketch. Pretty cool!

I have never reviewed an app before but this one is fun, easy and impressive. I am not very talented at computer things, however, the pictures I've created from the sketch program look like I am quite talented. It is a free program that I'm using and it's a lot of fun. I tell people to send me their photos and I will show them at this program can do.

My Sketch is a great tool for making your profile picture stand out. It does an admirable job converting photos into sketches - better than any of the other free apps I've tried. And it doesn't try to sell you add-ons.

That said, I can think of 3 ways to improve it.

1. Give us square as an alternative to rectangle. This is the age of Instagram and profile photos on Facebook.

2. Let the user choose between a sketch with a border and a full image sketch.

3. Add a third slider to adjust the hue of the sketch. Or possibly a pop-up range of color choices.

My Sketch is very impressive as is, and these options would make it even better. Especially square images.

5 stars because it does a great job and it's absolutely free.

This handles your photos in a clear and concise way. It is easy to adjust the settings and is very user friendly. Like this one better than the other "more popular" app that asked for a five star rating even before I tried it out. This one had more useful filters, at least for my goals.

I expected perhaps 5-6 different sketch types for a photo and this provides over 32. (Some of the choices have 2 options). Some are spectacularly beautiful or have unexpected possibilities. My only little niggle is that it won't let you do a whole photo, but usually just a large portion of it.

I am so pleased with how easy MySketch is to operate and how beautifully our pictures are transformed. I made lovely Christmas cards in a few minutes for all the children in my classroom. It is such an easy and fun process that my eight year old loves to work with it. Highly recommended- thanks for you fine product!!!

I don’t write reviews, but I must say I was skeptical of MySketch, but after using it I very soon realized it was a very nice interface, and with minimal ads and the low low price of free, you can’t beat it.

I used to love MySketch, but it appears that the developers have chosen to stop improving and supporting it.
In the latest version, there is not a way to save your sketches directly to your photo roll.
Even though it offers a “save/share” option, once you press that, you can only choose “share to social network” options.
Repeated attempts to contact the developers have gone unanswered.
However they still send pop-ups asking you to go buy their other apps .... No thanks!

MySketch is easy to use & makes your pics look different & interesting to look @. I would recommend MySketch to anyone who wants something different in their pics or when scrap booking, gives more options to creativity when
applying pics in books.

90% intuitive on IOS (IpadPro). Best and easiest app I’ve found to produce sketches from my pics. Downside- can’t see all the buttons, including the Save button. Also doesn’t always share correctly; doesn’t provide an error message when sharing fails. STILL, I’ve deleted the other sketch apps. I’ll only use this one.

I really wanted to like MySketch. The problem is that you can't really adjust it. To my eye, the sketches look too light. In other words, not enough picture is "sketched," leaving too much white. I want to adjust the threshold between white and sketch. You can change Brightness, which just lightens or darkens the whole thing without changing the threshold. Or you can lower the Contrast, which very slightly adds to the sketched part. That's all, though.
