It doesn't work *2014-02-14, version 21275* Just bought this and it doesn't even turn on. Waste of money. ### 1/5 — Review this app pop up *2013-12-21* This app is the worst offender about interrupting to rate the app. First of all, the developer should have more respect for the users. Second, this app is used by toddlers who can't read and don't know what the pop up says or how to respond to it. If you want better reviews how's this for an idea: improve the app so we want to review it. The trend in this app to make most things in app purchase despite having charged for the app in the first place is terrible. Honestly, I wish the app was exactly the same as when we bought it, without all the "improvements." ### 1/5 — Loved it before the update! *2013-10-03* I am extremely disappointed with this app after the update! My boys used to love it but after the update a ton of coloring pages are now gone including their favorite one that was a blank page which really gave them the ability to be creative. Also, you used to be able to email the pages that you colored and now you can't. All of their previously colored and saved pictures have now been deleted and Most of the pages are now locked as well which makes me pretty angry actually since I PAID for this app!, ### 2/5 — unhappy parent *2013-08-09, version 21273* The new update has ruined a once great app. This app has been my son's favorite for the past couple of years. Now he hates it!!! New update has taken away all of his coloring books. Now he has to buy them back when he earns enough stars. BEWARE OF THIS HORRIBLE UPDATE!!! If you still have the previous version, please make sure, for the happiness of your kids...YOU KEEP IT! P.S i gave it 2 stars to be able to post my review........ It is really a 1 star app:) ### 1/5 — New version terrible *2013-08-01, version 21273* I just want to be able to unlock or buy all the coloring pages. My 2 & 4 year old loved the older version of this app, but now have to "earn" each new book. It is not user friendly at all with the changes made. It was a favorite app, but now with the newer version it is a LEAST favorite. So sad. ### 4/5 — Great but... *2013-07-22, version 21272* I just installed the latest update and didn't receive the summer pages, we still have autumn and winter pages. My 2 year old loves this app, and would love it even more if she got to color ice cream, that is her new favorite thing these days! ### 5/5 — Great app and great response from the developer *2013-07-01* My three year old daughter loves this app. She retuns to it over and over again. This most recent version had a few glitches, but the developer has been very responsive in correcting the problems. I emailed via the support link in the settings menu and had a response back almost immediately. That kind of personal attention is almost unheard of nowadays. Looking forward to the fixes. ### 2/5 — I miss the old version *2013-06-21* This was my 4/5year olds favorite game. I loved that she was working on letters and numbers, she loved that she was coloring and the pictures sang to her when she was done. When this update came out, she came crying asking why it wasn't fun anymore. She can't pick her pictures (just a week after we used in-app to get her more new designs that she now can't access) doesn't get stars when she tries her best with the hard letters, etc. This has gone from my favorite app for kids to one that's getting deleted. This was so much better before it was a "game". Bring back the letters/numbers coloring book! Just let the kids color without judging them on it! ### 1/5 — Frustrated *2013-06-21, version 21270* Loved this app. Bought all the books for my daughter but now w this update that $ is lost and she can't get these books back easily. Either want the books back or a refund. Don't update if you've previously made an in app purchase. ## Frequently asked questions about 123 Color HD ### What does 123 Color HD do? 123 Color HD is an interactive coloring book designed for children aged 2-10.
