Changing colours in the palette is a bit confusing. The music in the menu is ANNOYING! Please add a setting to turn off. ### 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. ### 2/5 — What happened :( *2013-12-05, version 1.4* I was going through the tutorial having a blast until I hit the dreaded paint brush!

Please tell me how I can get the pages I pay for to download. This would be my favorite coloring app if I could get access to the rest of the pages. Help ### 1/5 — Won’t load gallery pages *2025-08-27* The gallery sets I purchased won’t download ### 1/5 — Won’t load gallery pages *2025-05-22* The gallery sets I purchased won’t download ### 1/5 — RUBBISH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *2020-12-19, version 1.7* They App is rubbish it won’t let me paint anymore it keeps kicking me out of the App I use to love it until now I hate it 🤬😡don’t buy it!!!!!!!!!!!!! Unless you want to get kicked out off the App don’t buy it it’s stupid it’s Hell. ### 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. ### 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. ### 1/5 — NOT HAPPY *2014-07-19, version 1.6* I've payed $4 to get another colouring book and it keeps turning off on me can use pls fix the problem ### 1/5 — Развод *2013-12-05, version 1.4* Развод на деньги. Предложили купить за 229р. Списали 318р. Верните деньги. ### 1/5 — Slow, rubbish and a bit boring *2013-02-28, version 1.0* So the icon looks interesting, but the app is a bit crap really. You have a paint pot, you mix paints, you go back to your picture and just run your finger over the line drawing. Thats it. Only its not, kids being kids they move their fingers quick and his program doest keep up. Deleted within 5 minutes of downloading, dont bother, there are much better paint apps out there. ### 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. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I love this game *2015-09-27, version 1.0* Great game so much fun🎨🎨 ### 5/5 — Отличное п/х *2014-05-30, version 1.6* Отличное приложение!
