I don’t understand why or how to fix it but I have a lot of time invested in this and also a lot of free paint cans and other help built up over 200 + don’t want to lose it but don’t know what to do to resolve the issue. Except to delete the app 😢. Help please!!!! ### 1/5 — WAS a great coloring app *2023-09-30, version 1.31* This used to be my favorite app, have used it for years.

I have sent a message via the app through settings 22aug but have had no reply as yet to the error messages I am getting every time I try to load a picture to complete. I press on a picture it says loading then I get this An error had occurred The operation couldn’t be completed (Paintbynumbers.archivererror error 1.) Very frustrating as I have paid my annual subscription without adverts for this year . Any help would be appreciated. ### 4/5 — Ughh *2023-08-07, version 1.31* I keep getting kicked off whyyyyyyyy ### 1/5 — Does Not Work *2023-07-22, version 1.31* Never connects ### 1/5 — Relax color Refuses to Load *2023-06-26, version 1.31* I had to uninstall the Relax Color app to do an iPad update. After reinstalling the app it will not load. Requests to the app’s creator for assistance continue to be ignored. ### 1/5 — Does not load *2023-06-22, version 1.31* Love the game BUT I paid the yearly fee and the game will NOT load anymore. Had this game for over 2 years I miss it what can you or me do about this. If no fix please credit my account back. ### 1/5 — Relax color *2023-06-21, version 1.31* I paid for the app and it won’t open. ### 1/5 — Can’t color *2023-06-01, version 1.31* It will keep saying that you have to check your internet connection ### 1/5 — horrible *2023-05-20* This app have a very huge delay. I continuously keep tapping to color the selection. The biggest problem I’m having is the in app purchase. I CANT GET ACCESS TO PICTURES WITH THE CROWN. The only was is watching a video. I thought when purchasing in the app that ads and hits will be free. It’s a waste of money. I reached out to creator through the app and through email. I haven’t received a response nor my money back. Buyer please beware of the scam of purchase in this coloring app. It’s not worth your time and money. I just want my money back for false advertisement. ### 4/5 — I like it heaps *2023-05-19, version 1.31* I have had this app for a while now but now when I want to open the app it takes its time and then closes again. Please fix this problem for us. I like his colouring app because it is set the way the iPad works and you don’t have to turn it sideways to use it, sooo please fix it. ### 1/5 — Year subscription & can’t use *2023-05-13, version 1.31* I purchased a year subscription because the pictures were some of the best I had seen for a paint by numbers app. But soon after I purchased the yearly subscription, the app would take forever to open & when it finally did, I’d choose a page to color & it would crash. It’s been this way for months so I haven’t been able to even use it. I want my money back. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Broken *2025-08-13, version 1.31* Downloaded app just fine but app itself will not load, gets stuck on the open screen, not even a load bar. ### 1/5 — Network issue *2025-06-20, version 1.31* It takes forever to load and when it does load it gives me a network issue and I have internet. ### 1/5 — The pictures won’t load *2025-06-04, version 1.31* An error message comes up whenever I tried to click on a loaded picture so I deleted and redownloaded the game then nothing showed up at all and it still has not loaded.

Except the pictures with crowns I can click and it says if I watch an ad I “unlock the picture” so I watched the ad (even though I PAID so I wouldn’t have to) and guess what…. STILL NO PICTURES TO COLOR. SO, basically I paid them $5 to watch a stupid ad. This is so annoying ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Hello?
