### 1/5 — Album purchase is broken

*2018-12-30, version 1.7*

Good paint program for kids, just don't spend any money to buy additional albums. If you do, the app won't even load. I had to uninstall and re-install the app just to get the app to load. Restoring purchases breaks it every time. I spent the $5.99 for all albums and got nothing for it.

### 3/5 — Can’t turn off music

*2018-12-04, version 1.7*

Quite good. Changing colours in the palette is a bit confusing. The music in the menu is ANNOYING! Please add a setting to turn off.

### 2/5 — Won't let me restore my purchases.

*2016-10-17, version 1.7*

A while ago I bought all the albums you could color, but I deleted the game a little while after.
Now when I try to restore my purchases, nothing happens. The button to do so just makes a sound.

### 1/5 — Problems with purchase

*2016-02-27, version 1.7*

My granddaughter loves this game. I decided to purchase all of the albums. I purchased them, they were suppose to be $5.99, I was charged the $11.99 and the albums were never unlocked. I tried contacting Redspell by email, the response I received was in a different language. I think this is ridiculous! I would not recommend this game to anyone. Now I am out the money and cannot open the other albums.

### 5/5 — I love this game

*2015-09-27, version 1.0*

Great game so much fun🎨🎨

### 4/5 — Not appropriate pop up

*2015-01-12, version 1.6*

Strange creepy weird pop up of My Santa play free now.  

Depicted is much younger mr and mrs Claus side by side sitters on couch.    Mr is giving a foot rub to the mrs who coincidentally is pregnant and waving in the air ultrasound of baby.  Not cool for 5 and under.
