Leave a Review Paint by Number Coloring Game
Good, but could be way better
I downloaded this and it all worked fine. I love this game and the way you colour pictures, it is great. Anyway, they have picture called special pictures. You watch an add to colour one if you don’t have a subscription. And they look realistic. When you’ve coloured it, it turns really realistic.
However, I’ve done about 10-20 (out of 200) paintings that are special (I’ve done more special ones, but these are ones that I’m not happy with). When I finished them though, they did’t look the best. They looked a little hasty and pencil drawn, not smooth and line free or that realistic.
Another issue I’ve had is when I watch an add for a hint, the add will stay on the app. I am able to exit and refresh it, so the add gets off my screen (it had been on there, several times, for over 2 minutes). However, once I go back onto the painting, I have no hint.
Over all, the game is good but has a few issues.Show lessbotbot2011
Used to love this app and I still want to but…
As much as I enjoy the images and the relaxing nature of a coloring app, the powers that be seem to have forgotten what people who use these apps Use them for. I play this app to RELAX. If I’m trying to relax, I want to focus on something simple (like the colors) and not be distracted by anything else. That means I am already trying to shut down the mental cacophony of work issues, personal issues, and other self-talk that is hard enough to control as it is. Until recently, this app was great for just exactly that, however it seems that the makers have given in to a trend that has caused me to delete other apps in the past: intrusive ads. I can understand the principle of using ads to make it possible for us to play games for free and I’ve got nothing against ads that come up when I am going from the pic that I’ve just finished to start another one, or voluntarily watching an ad to get a free hint or something like that. But when ads pop up sporadically and disrupt gameplay, the game isn’t fun anymore. Lately, there has been an ad for Candy Crush that pops up right in the middle of an image that I’m coloring, disrupting the flow, and the only way to clear the ad is to close to app and restart it. So far, it’s only the Candy Crush ad (and I hate Candy Crush), but if this trend continues I will have to rethink whether I want to keep this app or not.Show lessMyrtleMae invite rvD7U4
Nice way to spend perhaps a few too many hours
There is a huge assortment of pictures to colour and in almost any genre. Of my preferred genres, I have to say that some are nothing short of beautiful, although unlike with a real set of paints, you do not get to do blending etc; this is just a puzzle of finding the parts to colour and ending with the reward of the painting. When I remove this from my device it will be because I have accidentally pressed the re-size button, or far worse, the play an add for a hint (which I didn’t want or need) button one too many times. If the author can fix that issue - get the button off from overlaying the painting field- then I may keep it for a very long time.Show lessJarrahl
Amazing
This is such a wonderful game and I love everything about it I recently downloaded it and there are absolutely no ads! I am not criticising the game because of what I am about to say but I think you should add these features in the future:
You should be able to design your own colour by number and not subscribe.
Also, you should add some music or sound effects to when you are colouring.. it does get quiet :)
ThanksShow lessrebecca de la rocha
Great fun!
After using my brain all day, I find it grounding, or calming, to not have to think a about anything. I don’t want a puzzle to figure out. I don’t want a timer or a battle.I just want to relax my mind… give it a break. I enjoy the repetitiveness… I find it soothing. The only complaint I have, is that being an artist as well, it’s a real bummer when I start on the main subjects (usually animals) and the artist has the wrong colors for that animal. The markings that make them distinct are gone. This is a broad example… most animals in nature are light colored on their underside, especially fish and many birds. It only takes a minute to pull up any animal on the internet and just take a look at them. Wow. Sounds like a huge complaint, but it’s not. Just a lack of referencing the subject. Thanks for all the great fun!
I had given this app a 5 star review earlier. I changed it because all the animal pictures (the ones I enjoy most) have turned into kiddie/ baby pictures. All the animals have smiles and cartoonish expressions. What happened… so disappointing. There’s enough coloring books for youths and toddlers. You should have left it the way it was. I’ll be looking for something more adult after I finish my saved pictures. They are the last good/realistic pictures you had. BummerShow lessKnotty Fox
Very impressive
This app has great artists with a lot of variety in subject matter. I’ve loved coloring apps, but most of them are very time consuming requiring the user to decide what colors and shadings to use for every tiny spot on the page! Normally, I’m into that and have my favorite. But sometimes I need to pass time with no hard work, just tapping the shaded areas to see what colors someone else decided would look good on that piece of art. Within a couple of days I had colored 60 beautiful works of art....easily! Sometimes the colors surprise me and occasionally the photo realistic pieces are too good to be true, but I’m hooked and will visit this site when I need some easy coloring therapy.
Update! Well it’s now 2024 and I’m still hooked! I go in spurts sometimes coloring over 100 pictures in a few days and then relying on other entertainment for a time. Christmas pictures are what lured me back this time and I thoroughly enjoyed the quiet time to relax during what can be a hectic and busy time of year. I do see a lot of repetition in themes and sometimes I feel the color choices are not the best and too predictable, but I still enjoy the process offered in this app over competitors processes and it works sooo smoothly that I just ignore the repetition. I currently have over 5,600 in my library! That should indicate my degree of satisfaction.Show lessDeeDerDee

I love that it’s super calming and distracts you from stuff like work but I would love it more if there was a search bar to search things and find pictures easily

A recent update
The recent update in my view has spoilt this app. You used to be able to see how much % you had coloured on a picture. It’s been removed. I am totally fine with that. However, you now collect diamonds daily. Do I really want that not really? But it’s fine they can build up! Do I like the free pictures of course I do. Plenty of them too. I’ve been using this app quite a while and used it more so over last 9 months due to an injury. But the main thing that’s got my gripe is the fact since the last update when tapping your screen to colour a “life” will be taken off you when you didn’t even want to use one. Before the update any you couldn’t find you clicked on the light bulb it showed you the missing places a life for each one missing. Now it just does so when you don’t need it. In the middle of doing a picture. Please correct this to how it was. It would have got the full stars otherwise. Keep it free please as it’s a great app other than the things mentioned above. Thank you !! Some improvements seemed to have been done. However adverts also take far too long before you can exit from them.Show lesshelenkala
Good colouring pics, a couple pet peeves :(
I will say the pictures are beautiful and have lovely colours but some of them are kinda inappropriate, especially as I downloaded this when I was nine cuz my friends had it. So I was exposed to some … things (not too bad but there were ones like extremely low coverage on the character’s body and I did see a pic of a woman sitting on a man’s lap bottomless although the shirt did cover her no no square) so I do wish there were things like making an account (under 12 is restricted images so no inappropriate content) and if you are 12+ you have to enter your email address. (no emailing tho so it won’t get annoying ) however my biggest pet peeve is: THERE ARE WAAAY TOO MANY ADVERTS! Seriously this gets on my nerves. Anytime I do anything; boom! Ad. Clicks on a picture; Ad. Finishes a pic; AD!
Honestly please try and put less ads in the game.
Overall it is a pretty cool game but again, needs more restrictions and less ads.Show lessjbjkb.kj
Updates and adds
I loved this game so much but the recent update has made me lose interest in this game. When colouring, when you colour a section in, the colouring animation is 100x slower. It used to be really fast.
Scrolling while choosing which piece to colour is slower and more annoying. The game is just slower and overall feels like they went backwards in development.
On another note, there are WAYY too many adds. As soon as you select a piece there’s an add, then when you finish piece there’s an add and then when you select another one, there’s another add, the adds go for 30 seconds to a minute and it’s so frustrating.
Developers, if you see this, please go back to the older version of this app!!!Show lessLoki Griffin
