Voilà AI Artist Cartoon Filter

I used this app often and was most impressed by the results…Fantastic is all I can say. however, as a non-subscriber, you get a pop up upon completing the transformation, not a nuisance, tolerable. it takes a couple of clicks on the ad before you can take possession of your toon. over time the delay was increased to a point that you either bought into the ad or you had to forego the results. figuring it was only a glitch I persevered. but, the results were always the same. buy or die, no tickee, no washee. I simply couldn’t abide with this tactic so, I removed the App, but I could not find a suitable replacement. Sadly, I’ll miss this App, but I wasn’t buying a yearly subscription as I know the newness eventually wears off and you use it less and less. offering a monthly subscription probably would have hooked me. Oh-Well!!

It’s a good app, but it has its flaws. Okay, the pictures are decent, and if you have a good connection then the loading isn’t too long (I’d say 5 seconds at most). However, many of the pictures themselves can be bad if the photo quality isn’t 100% perfect. Say, if you screenshotted something and now you want to see what it would look like with the cartoon filter. It makes the picture look grainy, the features look weird, and the photo look creepy. This happens sometimes even if the picture quality is 100% perfect. I like how the app itself’s subscription status is well-developed. Some people in the reviews are complaining about the price, but $25 dollars a year isn’t too bad, especially compared to some other apps similar to this. At least you can ignore the subscription offer and stick to the free version - some apps make subscription mandatory to play. However, if you subscribe to this app for a long time (say 5 years) it would get expensive to have spent $125 on this app. My last complaint. Okay, I get that all developers must make their money somehow. An ad-free game is virtually impossible to find, if they even exist. In an ad-free game, it might be difficult for the app to find ways to make their money. If other developers pay them to show their ads, then they can make money from that. If they pay other developers to show their ad, their game will get more attention and more people will purchase things in their game. It’s mutually beneficial. But nobody wants to play a game when you are bombarded with ads every 10 seconds when you make a photo. The ads are usually about some trash money making games that I wouldn’t even think about downloading (considering a lot of those are scams). TOO MANY ADS. And I won’t be paying for pro to get rid of ads, because I don’t like subscribing to apps. And you can’t even turn on airplane mode to prevent apps from showing, because the app requires WiFi/reception to work. Okay that’s my super long rant/review lol have a good day!

Ok, so there are only a few problems with this app. Starting with the most common one, the ads. Now, if you are a person who’s pet peeve is ads, you may not COMPLETELY LOVE this app. Yes, there are quite a few of these but about 4-5 seconds in, you can skip them and they aren’t long anyways, despite what other reviews say. So, they aren’t a big problem, and I am someone who does not like ads. Next, there are 4 different “styles” of editing. There is the renaissance one, the caricature, the 2d cartoon, and the 3D cartoon. Each one of these gives you 3 options within, all very nice. But, I am willing to bet most people might want a little more diversity, and more options. The last thing is, you don't want to put in photos with more than one person, pets, objects, or a photo that has already been edited or gone through a filter (I tried this and it looked like my photo had been melted) Overall, it is a wonderful app. My favorite is the 2d and then royalty filter. It makes non-photogenic people (like myself) look really good and makes an AWESOME profile picture. I do recommend this app. It doesn’t take up much space, (and I am insane when it comes to my storage space) and there is no harm in trying. It also has settings where you can send your photo right to your Pinterest, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Messenger, or just plain save it. Really great app. Just try it, if you don’t like it, delete it. It doesn’t need paying for anything unless you want to remove ads and watermark.(I know 3 other people who got this app and they had the same experience. Happy editing! 😁+it doesn’t need internet or WiFi.
