## Review summary

Users widely note the app can produce quick, appealing line drawings and be a smooth, focused tool, with some using it as a time-saver in professional work. However, persistent concerns about watermarks, monetization (pricing/licensing), intrusive ads, and unreliable purchase/save features dominate sentiment. Many reviews call for clearer pricing, reliable watermark removal, and a less ad-heavy experience, while some report limited free functionality and frustrating UX. Overall, mixed feelings with major pain points centered on watermarks and monetization.

### Pros

- Produces quick, attractive line-drawing sketches with simple controls.
- Smooth, focused-on-creating interface with minimal fluff.
- Time-saving tool for professional workflows (e.g., in-studio use).
- Overall positive results when the app works as advertised.

### Cons

- Watermark remains on results or pro removal/licensing is broken or confusing, with multiple reports of watermark not disappearing after paying.
- Excessive or intrusive ads that disrupt usability and free-trial experience.
- Pricing and value concerns, including perceptions that the app is overpriced or not worth the cost for what it offers.
- Save/purchase restoration issues, such as errors saving, lost purchases after reinstall, or trouble restoring licenses.
- Limited features in free version or after purchase, with critics noting only basic black-and-white sketches and few options without paying.
