I was wondering has that always been a problem? ### 4/5 — Automatic color advancement *2022-10-05, version 3.3.2* I enjoy this app but dislike the auto Color advance. Can I turn it off? ### 5/5 — Mandalas *2022-06-01, version 3.3.2* Love it ### 5/5 — Don’t take i subscribe to premium *2021-12-04, version 3.0.1* I subscribe to premium but every time I wanted the pictures without the numbers I like the option but I did not take the time to add how it cost I must of spent over 75$ just to unlock to draw without numbers and other apps they give it for free so if you buy the year premium you still have to pay to unlock its Christmas time im stress I did not notice the price I was paying 3.99$ for 10 pictures only that is highway robbery ### 4/5 — Awesome but *2021-10-27, version 3.0.1* This is an awesome app but please have more free pictures. Or have a lifetime purchase option. ### 5/5 — Love it *2021-10-11, version 3.0.0* This color app is the best I ever came across wish there was more like this ### 5/5 — Color by number *2021-05-28, version 2.7.0* I love this app and it’s a lot of fun ### 5/5 — Yes!!!! *2021-04-27, version 2.5.0* Sooooo relaxing and easy for impatient people like me. 10/0 ### 5/5 — Помогает расслабиться и отвлечься *2020-12-17, version 2.1.0* Картинки класс! Начинаешь раскрашивать и на время забываешь обо всём на свете И мне очень понравилась фишка с долгим нажатием, нигде такого не встречала ### 4/5 — Effects options *2020-11-07, version 1.1.0* Just downloaded the app. Two things please developers. Have option to turn off the color effects with stars or whatever they are. If you like that great but have options for those who prefer not. Also have options for highlight colors. Thank you ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Frustrating *2023-05-19, version 3.3.10* The color pages are beautiful and fun to color BUT the ads are in the way and overly excessive. You can’t even see the buttons at the bottom because there is a banner ad blocking them. Also you have to pay for a weekly/monthly/yearly subscription to color at least half the pages, other pages you have to watch a 30 second ad to unlock them, and even the “free” pages you get forced to watch an ad for 5 seconds before you can skip it and begin coloring. ### 1/5 — Mandala Book *2022-03-07, version 3.2.2* This book has problems. First, the ads at the bottom of the picture prevented me from seeing the Save, menu, share buttons. Secondly, when you finish a picture and save it, you can’t use the picture for a card since they have the app name across the middle of the picture. I have never run across these problems and I have been coloring for a few years. ### 1/5 — App doesn’t work *2021-04-08, version 2.5.0* I downloaded this app on my iPad and I cannot open any of the pages to color. I clicked on several and every page I click on, takes me out of the app completely. I will be deleting it. It’s worthless. ### 2/5 — Disappointed *2023-03-17, version 3.3.10* Enjoy coloring the picture but when the hints come up it won't let me get anymore of hints ### 2/5 — What a shame seriously !! *2021-08-04* I have been withdrawn twice on my phone and on my daughter’s phone, who is young under 18. I thaught it will works on her phone like the others !!!!! ### 2/5 — App won’t open for me *2021-07-13, version 2.8.0* Hi developers I would like to know why this app is not opening for me on my iPhone 7 Thanks ### 3/5 — Good app but…. *2021-12-20, version 3.1.0* App is good but … when you save it it has a large watermark splashed across the finished picture even when you pay for it. I love to send the finished pictures to my granddaughters but wish it had either a small icon or watermark. Large ones detract from the finished pictures. ### 3/5 — Fun but can’t exspensive *2021-11-09, version 3.0.1* I really wish it didn’t cost so much to have access to all the pictures I really enjoy free ones but wish I could colour them all ### 3/5 — Great game *2021-11-07, version 3.0.1* Awesomely Relaxing 🙆🏻‍♀️ ### 3/5 — Love it but ..... *2021-04-19, version 2.5.0* Love this app and I actually paid for a year - but I am very disappointed to see no new pictures . I cannot find out if they send new ones or not anywhere ! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Color by Number- Mandala Book *2025-09-10, version 3.9.0* I really do love this coloring book because it is so relaxing. ### 5/5 — Nothing so far *2025-06-12, version 3.8.7* Really good and helps me calm down ### 5/5 — Happy color *2025-05-31, version 3.8.7* Happy color is great ### 5/5 — Easter *2025-04-13, version 3.8.6* Easter update is magical, thank you so much for it! ### 5/5 — Best Out There!! *2023-12-27, version 3.6.3* Once you go to swiping for coloring you will never want to go back!
