Cartoon Camera 1.2.2
Intuitive UI with only a few options but well placed at hand
There's no tutorial or instructions of use, but all icons are well placed at the side of the screen. The app launches with an ad for the newest games and other applications created by the developer. It displays plenty of banner ads and even some full screen ones, also it didn't forget about the nagging message for rating the app on Google Play Store, but most apps do the same. Cartoon Camera manages to differentiate itself from other such apps with filters that resemble real sketches.
Turn pictures into cartoons
The app comes with some flaws, but it's really easy to use. It opens your camera and applies a certain filter to make images resemble sketches or cartoons. The brush icon lets you shift through various filters, including color drawing, sepia, white strokes, colored edges and pencil sketches.
In total there are 12 effects. The edge strength is adjustable, from the slider on the right of the screen, while the one of the left can be used to adjust color sensitivity/saturation. The app supports auto focus, you must simply tap anywhere on the screen.
More features available in the pro version
There's no zoom focus, still you can use the camera flash to shed some light on images. Pictures are saved in a specific folder in your gallery and you have quick access to them by tapping on an icon. Still, you can use the app to turn regular pics from your phone gallery into cartoons or sketches.
While the free version performs well and provides you with all the tools needed for creating artistic sketches, you may want to try more effects. The pro version is priced at 1.29$ and comes with more filters and no ads.

Bottom Line
Design / UI8
All icons in this app look as if they were actually sketched with a special pen, in order to stay in tune with the whole layout. Still, the ads ruin the whole feel. |
Function7
The app seems to lag and you must be patient until the image stabilizes and then snap a picture. Other than that filters are applied instantly and changes to saturation are visible. |
Security8
The app will only peak into areas that it needs, leaving sensitive data on your phone untouched. |
Battery5
It really takes up a lot of battery, so you'll have to keep that in mind. |
Price7
Cartoon Camera is filled with all sorts of ads, including for other apps created by the developer. |
Compatibility8
It should work on devices running Android version 2.2 or later. |
A great app to apply filters to your camera and snap pictures resembling real sketches.
