### 1/5 — Review begging, video ads, subscription, and meh quality

*2025-07-01*

0 stars plus 0 stars plus 2 or 3 stars sill equals 0 STARS. 

1. 0 STARS.
This app begged for a review during the onboarding process. (Conveniently prior to their first ad popping up) Asking for a review before a user has even used your app is DISHONEST and UNSCRUPULOUS.  A company with ethics would want to understand how their users actually feel about their product, versus inflating their App Store rating artificially and prematurely. Why even read further, any company doing this is SHADY.

2. 0 STARS.
Immediately after asking the user to review an app they haven’t used, the first ad began- which was a minute-long pop up video ad, which consists of hawking a “free” app riddled with consumable in-app purchases. This ad played about 5 different times while trying to test out the app- even AFTER unlocking the “LIFETIME” offer, which promises to unlock all content and remove ads. It took uninstalling the app and then using the ‘restore’ button TWICE before ads were finally removed [I hope].

3. 2 or 3 stars.
Meh.
It is nice to have all 3 ‘sets’ in once place (kids coloring, adult coloring book, and sketchbook mode) but I am not impressed with the caliber of this app, considering this is a subscription based app. It should rival if not exceed any paid art app, but instead it falls short. 

Kids coloring book- 
An ok number of coloring pages. 
Easy to use controls
Glitter mode is fun but could be more realistic, ability to have background music and  is fun and being able to toggle it on/pff is great 
Would like to see a “fill in” mode which is present in the adult coloring book but absent in the kids’ version for some reason. 

Adult Coloring book-
A limited number of pieces of art for what is supposedly a paid subscription app. I would never pay a subscription for content that could be gone through in a month or two. Very lacking.

Adult Coloring book-
A limited number of pieces of art for what is supposedly a paid subscription app. I would never pay a subscription for content that could be gone through in a month or two. Very lacking.

Fun, has a lot of brush options

Sketchbook-
Pretty decent with a bunch of brushes 
BUT ultimately UNUSABLE as the “undo” feature only lets you undo the very last stroke. Any robust app allows you to undo way more strokes, which is handy when you have added a handful or two of strokes and realize you don’t like the result.

**Developer response:** We sincerely apologize for your experience. Your feedback about the review prompt and ad frequency is crucial for us to improve. We're committed to enhancing our app's quality and user experience. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, and we hope to make your next experience better!

### 1/5 — Ads, Ads, and Still Ads!

*2025-07-01*

This developer still bombards you with ads after paying, so very dishonest! Bad software, bad developer! DON'T BUY THIS! They promise a fix to other reviewers, but still nothing! Why are there ads after the payment has been made?!

**Developer response:** Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention. We apologize for any inconvenience and are working diligently to resolve it. We appreciate your patience and support as we strive to improve the balance of ads displayed, ensuring a better experience for all our customers.

### 2/5 — Why Ads???

*2025-07-01*

This is a really cool app that I would love to spend some time with, but I do not understand why there are still ads with a lifetime access.

### 1/5 — Unbearable

*2025-07-01*

Every time I open the app, a pop-up for another app appears and freezes my phone. I'm going to delete it next!

### 1/5 — What the!!!

*2024-11-06*

I download it. I open it. It says drawing book. It closes. I try opening it again. It still flips me out to my home screen. I am going to be honest. Your app needs serious work if you want others to use it.

### 1/5 — My Geo Location is NOT your business!

*2025-07-03*

This App is just for drawing pictures.
Your intentions to get (and selling) my Geo Location is unacceptable!!!
Deleted before even start using.

### 1/5 — 广告多

*2025-07-02, version 5.8.8*

### 1/5 — Ads crashed to app. Unusable

*2025-07-02*

After onboarding for lifetime, the ads started and wouldn’t stop. Couldn’t even use the app. I waited for the ads to stop but the app crashed instead so I deleted it

Ridiculous amount of long ads upon starting the app 😡

### 1/5 — 這次真的可以不用這麼

### 1/5 — Garbage- full screen ad-laden junk

*2025-07-02*

Couldn’t even open the actual program. When you start, it pops up with a mandatory privacy warning and then WHAM! your entire screen gets hijacked by some weird promotion about buying a game about a king. No way to get past it to the actual program, if you tap on the arrow in the upper right corner it takes you to the App Store attempting to coerce you to buy this advertised game. This process is the epitome of ens__ttification of the App Store and buying software in general. 

DELETE!!!
