I will probably be uninstalling this color by number. The add(magnifying glass)that pops up is so annoying and causes me stress, therefore I'm not relaxed doing this color by number. It literally pops up every 30-40 seconds and I find myself hurrying up to do the left side because when it shows up, if you're on the left, you'll hit it when u don't want to! It's great to have the hints, but give me a BREAK! Every 30-40 seconds just makes me want to stop and get rid of it! Just too frequent!

I had a problem opening the app so I uninstalled it, and lost 3700 pics. Now I've had no daily pic since 1-31. Way too many ads and the color doesn't progress as it did. Why would you change that? I loved the special pics, they looked like oil paintings, but now they just look washed out. I really enjoyed this app, but not any more . It says in the description of the game that color progresses and 2 keystrokes are not needed. Not true anymore.

This game is fun and less frustrating than many of the other coloring games. Fewer colors: for example four shades of green instead of 15. Also can get two helps per ad and stock up on the helps. Update:. Since fun 1st pic, I've had pics with 200 colors. I've found no pic that couldn't have been done with fewer colors and fewer tiny, tiny spaces. Update 2: if I bring up old pic there is no way to exit.

Like other reviewers have mentioned, I keep getting diverted to ads while trying to color a picture. I'm not accidentally touching an ad banner. It's just happening. Sometimes over and over and over again in the same picture, within seconds of it having happened before. And when I did what they're telling people to do after they get a bad review, I got zero response! The daily pictures have vanished too, nothing after 1/31. Beautiful pictures but I'm just tired of it.

Love the images but it overheats my phone and kills my battery quickly. Also had an issue where when trying to move to a different part of the image it would just allow me to zoom in and out on the area I was already in. Had to quit the game and reload the image to get it working again. Also if you let your screen time out you will have to watch an ad before you can work again. Most of the time you will have to watch an ad after finishing an image. Didn't see a way to sort by uncolored images.

I've played a lot of coloring games. This one is okay. It's not great on switching colors. You have to scroll through to find the number you want whereas other similar games you can hold the part of the picture you want to color and it will switch to it. There was also some annoyance with glitches. It would look like there was white space that hadn't been colored in and then you zoom in and it was. Lastly, it started opening ads in my web browser while I was playing. Ultimately why I uninstalled

Great time waster. Habit forming. Hard ones are really hard but if you find a technique that works they go quicker and aren't as frustrating. Have done over 200 pics since getting the app. I would like to have some way to keep count of how many in each category I've done. Also when the game wants to go to an ad it will freeze up and close sometimes and I lose my progress. Overall, good app.

The app has some good pictures, but it's not very user friendly. Over 800 different colors in one picture is excessive when there isn't an easy way to access the colors. The numbers are spread out all throughout the picture so your only options are to go in numerical order one color at a time, searching for each tiny sliver that matches. Or, you spend forever scrolling through colors.

Way too many ads, it's ridiculous you can't even color for 5 mins without a ad throwing you off. If you answer a text or take a break, more long ads to get back in, it's crazy ads!!! The worse I've ever seen, the only reason I haven't uninstalled is because I like the pictures. The ad circle follows your fingers so you'll accidentally hit it, very annoying. It's also very slow at times

The game is fun and entertaining but ads show too frecuently & too many times, interrupting your drawing and is not fun at all. There are no buttons to go back or save. Ads take too long or won't stop, so you have to close the app, come back in, look for your work in progress, and its really annoying. Also, sometimes when your drawing is interrupted, it doesn't keep completely your last color or number and it takes you back many, many numbers, specially with hard and detailed drawings.

Love the app! Addicting to play for sure. Biggest complaint is that it is a battery stucker, but that doesn't bother me too much. I just have it plugged in when playing it typically. The challenges are great too. Only complaint on the v-day challenge (or some other seasonal challenges too) is that they didn't release enough images to finish the challenge. Ads can be annoying, but it's a free app 🤷‍♀️

Edit - sent requested information. Nothing has changed. (Original review - I do enjoy the app, and the variety of pictures are wonderful. The only things I dislike are the add bar at the bottom, it seems to freeze the screen for a moment and pop up ads on a separate screen. It does it way to much (4 times within a 5 min time frame) I hope this can be changed. I don't mind an add every once in a while. Just not every minute. I will find another color app to use in the meantime.)

I really do enjoy this app. Although let's get to the glitches. The strip of ads, bottom of the page, causes the app to pause the ad flashes to another ad... This cause the app to pause, stop, delays. Most of the pictures are great I think that if you could add more pictures of people of color would be nice. I am starting to see other paint by number apps interesting haven't really tried them yet, but the lack of minorities. Is a little challenging other than that the app is great.

This game has a good engine. It is very responsive and accurate. The pictures are interesting and fresh. However, every level has a bazillion tiny, unique color areas scattered everywhere. It may take you hours to finish a level. I dropped two stars because it is lacking long-tap capability to auto select a color. Most annoying of all is the ad hint icon that pops up suddenly, causing you to click it, and forcing you to watch a full length ad. That is bogus.

Edited 1/21/23: this was my favorite among coloring apps, but the price to upgrade without ads is way too expensive. I could tolerate the ads between pictures, but now it's suddenly jumping to websites in the middle of coloring (I'm not clicking an ad by accident). This feels very shady, so I'm uninstalling. Original review: I've tried dozens of different coloring apps & this is in my top 2. Beautiful art, especially the "magic" pictures. Lots of ads, but what doesn't have them now?

Addicting, mindless ongoing fun. You can't go wrong. No in-app purchases. There are many colouring apps, but I like this one because the lines are not heavy, & dark. I enjoy watching large areas fill with colour, but get bored filling in small dots. The shading can be difficult to see in the small areas, as well. Great way to pass time; keep looking for a mute button so I don't have to listen to the "blop" with each shading. It gets annoying. Plus, tired of orange animals, esp cats.

The positive- There were several pictures that were cute. The big negatives- can't hardly play the game for how much it kicks me out of the app! Literally spent much more time getting ready to "color" than actually "coloring"! The finished product color is too blocky, just doesn't look normal and isn't very pretty. Overall, disappointing. Deleted the app and won't get it again.

there's some that the spaces are soooo tiny and no outlines. The picture I just finished I had to do over 3 days. It had so many tiny spots I couldn't tell what the picture was until I got into the 200s. Very challenging. there's plenty that aren't so intricate but I just wanted folks to know depending on how challenging you like it, be careful of the pictures you choose.

I like that some pages are marked 'hard' and are challenging and the others are mostly easy to medium challenge. Some other apps I've tried had all been that hard difficulty and that's tiring. Im a little unsure about some of the color choices in some pictures but overall I'm growing to like this app. No intrusive ads while coloring, only between pictures and to unlock special pictures. I like the #finished/total per month on the daily pictures

Overall ok nothing super special about it that sets it apart from any other coloring app. It would be nice if when you are looking at uncompleted achievements that you could press on the achievement and it would take you to the items needs to complete it rather than trying to scroll and manually search for those things. Other reviews mention the difficulty with color selection and I agree with those points as well.
