Reviews for Picrew PFP & OC Maker

I’ve used the website for atleast 3 years and was really excited when the app was released. Unfortunately I have experienced quite a few issues, the multitude of ads, this random beeping noise, and frequently being rerouted to malware sites. It may be understandable that I can’t enjoy this app as I wished I could. […]

i love this app so much. its so fun to create and be able to find artists. however there are SO many ads and they always start with sound. sometimes audio will start playing from the app without an add popup and no indication of where to turn it off. the only way i know […]

So this game is very nice, theres many opinions to choose from and many cute OC’s to make. But, there is an issue with the app. When I’m creating a new avatar it always sends me to this sketchy website that tells me data is in threat or something like that and I close out […]

i love using the image makers. when i can. i’m constantly clicking on makers i want to use, only to immediately lose them forever because an ad that takes you out of the app plays. i do mean Forever too, as i’ve yet to see a single maker i clicked again unless i’ve saved it. […]

The ads are INSUFFERABLE. Anytime you navigate away, you get an ad. Every other action, an ad. Tired of visual ads? Theres audio ads. I tried to make 1 character and got redirected to google for the same fake antivirus ad 5 TIMES, each time opening 2 tabs of the same ad. 5 TIMES in […]

I love Picrew and their platform, I use it all the time whenever I need a small distraction or something to do in the background. However, using the app has become extremely frustrating, the ads are extremely intrusive, some randomly direct you to your browser out of the app to shady ad websites which then […]

the amount of ads is enough that I’m not sure if I should keep using this app. the audio ones are the worst because they cannot be muted for the first several seconds. some amount of ads to keep the app free is understandable but it’s very heavy handed. the app also makes my phone […]

far too many ads. an ad before the game loads in, one after you select an image maker, a banner at the bottom, a little theater window that you can mute, but it still lowers the volume of your music. not to mention the forced ads that take you out of the app, to the […]

ads will pop up randomly and play excessively loud noises on opening a creator, and if you leave the app at any point even accidentally you will have to sit through another ad. I get needing to make money somehow but this is worse than the unobtrusive ads from the website variant. cannot recommend app […]

Overall it is a good app, it’s just the amount of ads disrupting my time on it is annoying. if I accidentally get off the app for not even a minute, it gives me an add, or even if I press play on one of the options, or even randomly when I’m making a character, […]

the ads are so overwhelming on the app. I used to be able to listen to music while making picrews but there’s constant audio ads playing. Plus, if you just change tabs for a moment and return it refreshes all of the ads. very aggravating, the app has no noise so I don’t understand why […]

There is a paywall on some ridiculous stuff. Pictures, bookmarks, whatever. Then, you got Picrews, whatever, you go in, and there are ads. Banner ad, ad that plays after you open it, and an audio ad you can’t really turn off. Thats not my issue, what my issue is, is that Picrew has an unreliable […]

I used the browser version all the time and used to love it. Sadly, the app is riddled with ads and nearly unusable at times because of it. I also had intrusive audio ads that scared me when they suddenly started playing. The actual makers function just fine and are just as easy to use […]

Advertising is excessive. Use the browser version. I’ve loved this platform, however the app’s pop-up ads take away from the experience. If you tap off the app to answer a text, you’ll be given an ad, you’ll recieve one when opening the app, then one upon opening a maker, and one after completing as well. […]

I use this app very often to make OC’s and it works very well! My only complaint is that the ads sometimes kick me off the character maker I’m using, or kicks me off when I accidentally close the app for even a split second.. It gets frustrating when I’m not able to favorite the […]

It’s great for making characters and oc’s, but the ridiculous amount of ads and times the game will kick you out or crash for no reason is honestly making me question why I still have the game. please, for the love of God creators, fix this, its annoying and tedious to use the app.the sad […]

I love picrew and I’ve been using it on the website for years, been using the app but it randomly stopped letting me sign in with Google. it would give me the number to put in and then when I put it in the app crashed and I had to do it again. this cycle […]

I can hardly do a few things in the app without getting a random ad popping up on screen. Even when I’m doing something important like making an account. What’s worse is that a lot of the ads have sounds for some reason, meaning I’ll randomly get a random advertisement blaring at me. I also […]

the fact that the ads are STILL a major issue for this app in 2025 is wild. I’ve been a big fan of picrew for years, and I was so when there was an app for it. I understand needing ads for profit here and there, but EVERYTHING gives you an ad. Switched to another […]

Used to be fun, but it just isn’t worth the excessive ads. Videos every time you close and reopen the window, audio ads playing over everything you do, invisible ads that you can click without even trying… It’s incredibly irritating and unnecessary, I understand that you have to have some advertising to keep it free […]
