ToonMe: AI Cartoon Face Maker reviews

What users love and hate, from real reviews

An app that turns your photos into cartoon and AI portraits — people get hooked on the results, but almost everything good is locked behind a pricey weekly subscription and a paid trial.

What users love

People genuinely love the toon results and quality

When people reach the result, it impresses: quality filters, beautiful portraits, better than other toon apps. Many call it the best of its kind and get hooked for a long time.

it is the best toon app I have ever seen no other app can be compared to it

love this!!!! way better than ANY OTHER TOON APP!!!!

Great edits and quality of the filters. I recommend it to all people looking for awesome picture filters 😜

Your own AI portrait is a confidence boost

For many the standout is "Create your own AI": a new look that makes them feel more confident and attractive. People say the portrait keeps the likeness while making them look better.

I am loving my new looks. it's making me feel comfortable about my self. I have confidence now.

I love this app, especially making my own with ai.

It’s really interesting, it even makes you look the same, or even more beautiful, when you use your own picture, 😁.

Simple and easy — clicks for newcomers right away

Install, open, and it just makes sense — no bugs, no hassle. Especially good for newcomers: the interface is simple, it works first try, and it's easy to lose track of time.

It's easy and no complications I've downloaded it today and no bugs seen.. Thanks🙏 for the app it's cool😎, fun 😄, and helpful to me

This is good for beginners and newcomers to the app

Weak spots

What users hate

Almost all the good content is behind a paywall

Most effects are marked VIP, and the best templates only open after you pay. There used to be far more free options — after reinstalling, people find that nearly everything has become premium.

tt used to have free ones but now almost everything is VIP

Toonme used to have a way more fair amount of free and paid feature but since redownloading it after a while of not using,almost EVERYTHING has become a premium feature.

Most of the effects are VIP, which unfortunately I cannot buy

The trial demands a card up front and charges before it even starts

To start the "free" trial you must add a card up front, and the description says nothing about it. People complain money gets taken before the trial even begins — for many that's reason enough to delete it on the spot.

if there is a negative star, i will more NEGATIVE STARS. i just installed it and already deducted from my money. i haven't even started with my free trial!!!!not trustworthy

Description mentions nothing about it being a free trial or the need to add payment details before you can use it. I find that rather deceptive so deleted it.

costs money. cant use free unless you enter card info.

Charges keep coming after you cancel

People cancel the subscription and still get charged weekly. Cancelling the trial doesn't help — the full amount comes off the card, support stays silent, and the money keeps disappearing.

scam. they keep taking your money even after you unsubscribe. they took my money 4 times already

I unsubscribed months ago and they are still changing me weekly

Tried to cancel during free trial, but was still charged. I reached out but got no response. Frustrating.

$7.99 a week is too steep for a toy

The $7.99-per-week price scares off casual users: nobody wants to pay that much just to swap hairstyles and filters. For many it only makes sense if you earn money with it, not if you're just having fun.

It's 'free trial' for a few days, then $7.99 per week? LMAO I don't friggin think so.

I saw the $7.99 per WEEK subscription fee after a week trial, and the requirement to add payment prior to beginning the trial, and immediately uninstalled the app. perhaps if I was using it to make money, but for the casual user it's way too much cost.

no surprise. requires lots of real money to choose the best edits.

Double-charged for the yearly plan

People sign up for a yearly plan, but the system marks it as weekly and charges again immediately. The result is $60 paid instead of $30 for just a week of access — even from users who love the app.

I clicked to pay for the yearly subscription a week ago. I had it for 1 week and it said pro was canceled I just paid again and it's telling me my payments due in a week,I clicked for the thirty dollars for a year subscription so now I am out 60 bucks for something I only get a week to use

I would like my yearly subscription every time I have clicked the yearly subscription it takes my money and only shows 1wk

Confusing menus, no search or sort

Among 50-100 options there's no search or sort — you scroll through everything only to hit a paywall. The selection menus themselves strike people as confusing at best.

you the selection menus are confusing at best. Recommendation to the creator - create a sort or search button! Sifting through 50-100 options to find a specific one only for it to be pay walled isn't my idea of a great app

limited to the templates they provide, can't truly customize Caricatures

there are no new filters no new filters to apply and every we want is in pro

Photo and account access reads as data harvesting

The app asks for gallery access and forces account creation, then still pushes you to pay — for some people this looks like a photo-and-data grab dressed up as a service.

Data and photo harvesting scam making you jump through hoops, give them access to your photos, only to tell you to create an account and pay.

if agree check is not clicked you can't open the app.

An ad blocks the finished result

There aren't many ads overall, but one intrusive one covers the already-finished toonified shot — souring the experience even for otherwise happy users.

Overall good but now we're facing one problematic ad which is blocking our toonified snap so really disappointed on this

amazing App...with just low amount of adds

Alters the face until the person is unrecognizable

Sometimes the result drifts too far from the original: the face changes so much the person is unrecognizable. For anyone wanting a true-to-life portrait, that's a direct downside.

it completely changes the photos and makes people unrecognizable...not good

I give 3 stars because of the watermark
