If you want to draw more than three pictures, you will have to pay. ### 3/5 — Images need cleaning up! *2016-12-08* It's a great app, the only flaw, and it's an important one, is the quality of the source images. They obviously haven't cleaned them up, if you fill with a colour then there will be lots of small white pixels left over, most of which are almost impossible to get to. This makes the final drawings look really poor and childish. They need to invest a bit more time and effort to clean up the black & white starter drawings and make sure they fill properly. It's not difficult, fill the entire image with red for instance, by clicking all the major areas. Then go in and tidy up any small white areas - black them out or expand slightly the adjoining white bits. Then repeat until the final image is fully covered. If they do that then this is a brilliant app, until then - it's okay. ### 3/5 — Haveagoodday *2016-11-28* 36 images to colour, but only 3 are free? $9.00 for the rest? ### 4/5 — Get the controls right *2016-11-26* Marvellous app with high potential; its approach is a great first step. Navigation however (e.g. Zooming, moving around picture) can be quite a pain. Also, areas not meant to be coloured may be coloured unnoticed, hence requiring a lot of undos and therefore much hard work is deleted along with the error. Do expand beyond Planet Earth II, but don't steer (too far) away from wildlife. ### 3/5 — No landscape *2016-11-26* No landscape mode for iPad. ### 4/5 — Beautiful *2016-11-26* I'm not Picasso, but this app makes me feel like I can achieve his level of greatness. I can paint with the colours of the wind, and feel the wolf cry to the blue corn moon. It's a beautiful app, with beautiful drawings and even better abilities to release you creativity than other apps on the market. It's worth paying £1.49!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — POS *2016-12-14* No landscape mode? Actual rating is -10. Delete. ### 1/5 — Bad iPad support *2016-11-28* The app should be designed for iPad. ### 2/5 — Bonnie *2025-06-16* Not easy to color ### 2/5 — Needs landscape mode *2017-01-22* I wouldn't mind paying for the packs, but it seems kind of ridiculous in this day and age not to have landscape orientation support. Useless right now to us, as my young daughter uses her iPad only in landscape mode (that's the only way the stand in her case works). Seems a really significant oversight in an app like this :( ### 2/5 — Good but not good enough *2016-12-08* The pictures are beautiful but only three pictures are actually free 😕 All the others have to be bought with iTunes money.If you can please add more free pictures and reduce the prices of the ones that need to be bought please.That would be great. ### 2/5 — Have to buy everything *2016-12-02* I would definitely rate this app 5 stars if you didn't have to buy all the packs😞 ### 2/5 — Only three samples? *2016-12-01* You are given just three samples to try. Then you either have to buy a pack or listen to the background sounds which was annoying. I was able to find the tab to silence it. It's a great idea for this prestigious company to offer coloring. I hope they rethink what and how they offer the products. ### 2/5 — Just 2 stars *2016-11-30* Interesting concept but it's not convenient to use it on iPhone ### 2/5 — Needs work *2016-11-30* This app shows promise but needs work before it's even worth making costly purchases and it's only got 3 free pictures to color. On first opening the app the first glaring thing that needs to be addressed is making the app to be usable in landscape, not just portrait. Think about it devs how many iPad cases do u see being usable in portrait? It's not working seamlessly with apple pencil either. Fix these things then it might be worth paying for but as it stands now it's way overpriced for what it is. ### 3/5 — Ok 😐 *2024-09-12* Only lets you color a few ☹️ The rest are for money ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — :p *2026-04-15* Add it to scary beasties Ltd. ### 5/5 — I LOVE THIS APP *2019-01-09* THIS CALMED MY DOWN EXTREMELY QUICLY ### 5/5 — Very good *2017-02-03* Very good colouring app ### 5/5 — What a lovely App *2016-12-25* How nice and easy to use this is! What a clever App. You will be happy with this; My family and I are enjoying this App especially yesterday and today on Christmas. I liked the treefrog picture the most. They are all very nice pictures. ### 5/5 — Beautiful app *2016-12-23* The setup is lovely, as are the results… And aaaahh, the calming effect on one's heart rate while colouring! Thanks Scary Beasties for another great app. ### 5/5 — Love the colouring *2016-12-02* The content is great and is a fun way to couloir in ### 5/5 — Best coloring book app ever! *2016-12-01* This is a great app! I've always search for a coloring book type of app and the majority of are missing something. This app reminds me of when I used to color when I was a kid. My kids love it too! ### 5/5 — Great *2016-11-29* Really fun ### 5/5 — Good App *2016-11-28* I'm really enjoying this app but please PLEASE give us some more artwork. Things like this start up great and the go down hill. ### 5/5 — Excellent quality *2016-11-26* Excellent for young and old. Good selection of colours and brushes. Worth paying for the full set of pictures, although not necessary to start with. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
