Bring the old one back plz

I just got a phone and I was super excited cause I got to check out my color alive book just to find out that you guys just deleted the old app and made A new one. Couldn’t you have just kept the old one as well?

It’s clearly not just me

So printed out pages from 1.0 don’t work because the original app is M.I.A. When I click to purchase a physical copy, there’s none available and the digital version is all that’s left. Isn't the whole reason for this app to draw IRL and have it come to life digitally? Either let us use the 1.0 pages or produce more 2.0 books. I’d say it’s not that difficult but clearly it is.

#BringBackColorAlive

So I bought 2 of these bad boys at a dollar tree in Torrance, that being the Skylanders 2.0 coloring book and the zombies coloring books, and after some tests, they work. I don’t know why this app is still here considering Color Alive is basically dead now, but hey, 2.0 still works. My only complaint is that for some reason, just because this app exists, they got rid of the original Color Alive for some reason. WHY!? Why did they have to get rid of 1.0? People still use those coloring books you know! Why would you just discontinue Color Alive 1.0? It was actually really successful and popular for its time. So I’m calling to you Crayola, Bring back Color Alive 1.0! Or better yet, bring back the series in general for a new Color Alive 3.0 app! How about that! Everyone! Say it with me! #BringBackColorAlive!
