Doodle Cam app review

iPhone users are well used to the hand-drawn ‘Doodle’ aesthetic, thanks to the success of the Doodle Jump game – and hundreds of imitators. Doodle Cam applies the idea to the videos and photos that you shoot on your iPhone 3GS or iPhone 4.

In short, as you point your camera at something, Doodle Cam cartoonises it in real-time, with 11 different effects that you can apply to the scene. The results are variable, but when it works, they’re extremely impressive.

After practice, images in particular can look stunning – and all the more impressive for being tooned up as you take them, rather than afterwards.
