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!

They should make a color alive 3

I don’t know if you know this but I made a feedback about they should bring back the classic version but they should make a color alive 3

CRAYOLA YOU HAVE MESSED UP TO MUCH!!!!

Crayola you are going to have lots of people hate you!!! INCLUDING ME!!!!! Fix this. Bring back the old color alive and add them together so they can make you not have as much hate!!! If you want Crayola shut down you can keep on doing your thing, but if I were you I would fix it so you don’t have this bad stuff happen. So listen to all of us.

Why do I have to get a book to use the app?

I liked the old Color Alive because you could print the coloring pages out and it wasn’t necessary to have a coloring book. I think that Color Alive 2.0 would be a lot better if it had the option to print or save to photos with the coloring pages rather than buying a book.

If the app was updated to have the same features as the first color alive (like maybe an option at the beginning to choose which color alive you want to use?) and also to have printable pages to scan or save to photos so that it’s more efficient to use the app.

Disappointing!!

My son got a Minion Color Alive coloring book from his teacher. He was so excited to try it out...until we discovered that it was version 1 and not compatible with the current app :( SO disappointing!!! This needs to be fixed. Why sell the older version of coloring books if the app is not available to use with them?! Please fix this!!! 😰😥

The kids were so excited about coloring their Minions pictures and seeing them come alive. Unfortunately, Color Alive is no longer supported,so both my kids are having a meltdown ! I wish I knew prior to purchasing or even showing them. Oh well lesson learned!

Not cool

My son just got the Crayola color alive easy animation studio as a gift for his birthday, he excitedly opened the package put it all together and started coloring in the design booklet only to find out that this version is not supported anymore and the original color alive app is no longer available for download. On the Crayola website we get a cheery sorry for any inconvenience message. Please help me understand why the original app is no longer available. Or better yet please explain to my nine-year-old son with autism why is no longer available and how to get this to work.
I can understand having a new app but why make it where you can’t use the old app effectively making obsolete his birthday gift.
At least offer a refund or trade in.

Great game ❤️❤️❤️

This game is really good and entertaining but you Need to have a book which is why different coloring games are better then this one so if you don’t have one of the books you can not play 💔💔💔

Just Why?!...

So I was going to try to learn how to animate today and I find my old color alive book with the mannequin and everything so I read the step by step instructions and I go the website it tells me to go to and it just tells me SORRY, THIS IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE TO DOWNLOAD but this is freaking messed up! This is for children to trying find something fun to do like learning how to animate and they would go to the website and find that! I hope people read this review see this the same exact way. I might still use this if you can re add it because I use at least half of the stuff you sell! But all I know is I’m ordering a new animation pad so I might not either way. So I hope people read this and react the same way. I’m done writing anymore of this review so goodbye and hopefully they give us back the app.

Amazing, exciting and fun

First off the ones having trouble with the original color alive go to crayola website-download is there.

The 2.0 coloring books have pages that are a little slippery. Using crayons and markers to color works the best. The colored pencils work but not as bright in my opinion.

Once you scan your image the magic is so much fun. My daughter really enjoyed being able to take a picture with an image she colored. We also enjoyed how we can add animation to each picture as well.
We also discovered that you were able to make a copy of the picture and colored in as well. As long as the border is there everything will work.

We picked up our two books at the dollar tree and went out and paid regular price for a few more. They are well worth it and it’s highly recommended by a nine-year-old!

Disappointed

Have the original books and the original app no longer works. Downloaded this 2.0 one which you can’t use with the original books. Can’t see why they couldn’t make all the old books work for this version as well. I have some disappointed kids here. Would not buy again as I bet im time it’ll be upgrades again.

Buyer beware: Your kids are in for a major let down, and it’s heartbreaking

There is nothing that upsets me more than my kids getting excited about something and then watching them get upset because it doesn’t work. This was one of those instances. My son had been begging us for skylanders color alive coloring books, so we finally gave in and purchased. He was so excited! He spent SO MUCH TIME coloring them, only to find out that the app is NO LONGER AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOAD. So we spent money on a fancy coloring book that was useless. I could have printed coloring sheets off the internet for free! Shame on you Crayola for removing an app that you know kids still use AND selling coloring books that are useless without it! Wouldn’t expect that from a company that caters to children!

Disappointing

My son was so excited to bring his character to life. Turns out, the first version is no longer available. Not sure why they wouldn’t include the old stuff when they updated this app. What a horrible product. I will not be getting any more Crayola products. A waste of money for what they charge for their useless products.

Very disappointed

We purchased some color alive books that were from the original version and went to go use them to see that you no longer have the original versions in the new app. Why in the world would you just eliminate those? Granted they were bought awhile back but why not just include those in the new app? I wouldn’t even want to buy the new ones at this point.

Wish the 1.0 Virtion was still around.😕

I bought all the color alive 1.0 books and went to get the app and the only color alive app was the 2.0. Then I got a 2.0 book and tried scanning it ant my screen went black. After many attempts it finally worked, and I’ll admit it was pretty cool. I just wish the 1.0 version was around

Original App Deleted from Store

My daughter spent time coloring in her Color Alive book. When we went to download the app we found the version for her new coloring book has been deleted from the Apple AppStore. Crayola should leave both versions available for kids who have already purchased the Color Alive books from the first version.

We will not be purchasing further Color Alive books.

This is a joke.

I got 1.0. Great. I get the app. Great. I add the camera access... WHICH ISNT THERE! So I get THIS app. It asks me for the camera access, (after it takes FOREVER to “download”. How about doing that while the APP is downloading?) great. It works this time. Now to scan my character. OH WAIT, THE 1.0 CHARACTERS DON’T WORK EVEN THOUGH 1.0 IS BROKEN FOR ME! I don’t know if this is my device, (iPod touch,) or iOS in general, but this was a complete rip-off. It deserves no stars whatsoever. But the least I can give is one. (Apple, are you listening?)
