Your final image can be sent via e-mail, uploaded directly to Facebook, Twitter, and Flickr, shared with apps like Instagram, Camera+, and Color Splash, printed, and even sent as a real, physical postcard through the mail!

8 of 25Dev seems snarky about fixing the app. Fail.
Needs an update in terms of UI especially for Iphone X users! But overall the app is a 5 Star!
Now just crashes even after iOS updated. Moving on to next app.
The app crashes every time I try to type in something in the box in the bottom of the Halftone app It appears there hasn’t boom an up date for ( 3 ) YEARS. can we expect one soon?
Only half working. Keep crashing when you try to edit word.
App crashes every time I click on the comic I’m trying to work on.
Crashes on iOS 12!
There is now a paid version 2.0 in the store, and the free app stopped working more than a month ago. Looks like because of the paid alternative it won’t be fixed. RIP. I loved this app.
