Color by nubers review

Their colors images are babyish

Love this

This game has 4 stars because it won’t let you drag to color but other than that it is so fun to do it is also relaxing!!!!

❤️❤️❤️

I love this app! Something that makes it stand out to others is that the subscription thingy isn’t very expensive. Before I found this, one of the other apps I turned down WANTED 4 DOLLARS A WEEK. So well done love the app!!

Click bait

So may pop up advertisements that this app is unusable.

2 more updates; still no fix

I color in this app every day, and have much enjoyed using my Apple Pencil. On my iPad Pro, I can use the pencil to color the pixels and the “insane” puzzles have been enjoyable. The latest update is a hot mess, at least with my setup. I get that it was a major overhaul—and that it takes a while to work the bugs out. But there are a LOT of bugs, especially when you get near the end of a color or a complete puzzle. There are consistent problems: (a) As I get almost to the end of a number, the app will suddenly mark that number as completed, even though there are still pixels to complete; (b) if you are at the end of a puzzle, there are consistently uncompleted numbers that have yet to be filled, even though the app says the puzzle is 100% complete, moreover (c) it starts to do this weird sparkly thing all over the puzzle well before I’ve completed it (this is my signal that time is running out, and usually the app freezes before I can get done. I can perhaps get back into the puzzle and try to finish if I restart and find it, but that is not always an option. I really enjoyed the app as it was and did not see a need for new tools. The only improvement I would have suggested (which is still needed) is a way to navigate to the most recent puzzle you were working on; a lot of times I can’t find it at all though eventually I do. For the first time in many months I abandoned it altogether to go to another app that is not nearly as nice. I have to watch some ads, but it lacks the minor frustrations of this app. (It is annoying to me to get to the last few pixels and get shut down before I finish.) I have subscribed for a couple of years to avoid ads and have better access to the tools that were available, and I loved the app as it was. Now it doesn’t work. If these things are not resolved in a timely fashion, I won’t pay for the subscription fee again. Update: After at least two updates, the problems continue.

Hate new version

The new update sucks. Everything is a money grab now. It keeps glitching now telling me I finished a number and I didn’t.

Loved it

Only issue I have is it doesn’t complete all the colors

Picture availability and new update

I love the app. It’s a great way to relax. After a few years I paid for the subscription. However, the picture selection is meant for a 3 year old lately. I’m constantly looking for new pictures like you used to have. I like the insane, intricate ones that take days and days. Lately, insane is a monkey or unicorn that takes an hour at best.
Second issue is the recent update. You can no longer long hold on a number to find a square you cannot find. But you have to go all the way to the beginning to hit a certain key to find it. You’ve also darkened all the number squares you’re working on. It’s was much better when you just made the font bolder. With darker colors already completed, it’s hard to see the darkened squares.
There is also an issue with the numbers that are putting a check mark as done, complete when they aren’t. Who wants to start a picture you cannot complete?

Dec 2025 Change is Bad

Been coloring with this app for YEARS. I will try to adjust with Dec 2025 changes, but I predict I will be looking for a new coloring app. The new selected color highlighting is terrible. Also experienced errors. Color got checked as compete but still saw squares/pixels for that color not colored in yet.

I love the app. After a few years I paid for the subscription. However, there are very few pictures that are meant for an adult. Can we get some more advanced pictures? Something that doesn’t look like a three (3) year olds coloring book. I’m finding myself using my own pictures more and more. Again, love the app. But just want something better to chose from. I haven’t seen any new pictures in quite a while.

Last update spoiled a good app

I color in this app every day, and have much enjoyed using my Apple Pencil. I get that the last update was a major overhaul—and it was one that, for my part, wasn’t needed. The extra features that are now available are, I’m sure, useful at times. The main issue right now is that the app is very buggy. It tells me that a color number is complete, but then I still find pixels with that number, and which now cannot be filled. (Sometimes the paint brush tool allows me to fill them in, but at least once I just had to quit the puzzle and give it up. On the last puzzle the whole app froze.) I am a paid subscriber, and it seems like a few new puzzles have been added (I only choose the insane ones). I liked the app the way it was, but I know there is no going back…now I’d just like it to work properly.

Not a fan!

Im not liking how the number is a shade of dark grey that you are on for colouring in on….it makes me feel like I have accidentally coloured in that tile with a wrong colour. Can you please change it back!

Hasn’t worked in months

I’ve had this app for years and loved it up until earlier this year in which the app stopped giving me new images. I contact support about this and all they told me was that “it happens” and to wait because there’s nothing that can be done. Very upsetting because I would color everyday on this app. I still receive notifications of a “new image” available but when I check there is nothing new.

New pictures

I’m not getting new pictures even though I’ve paid for premium. Quite irritating.

What I think

It is but since I am only eight some of them get a little to hard some of them i can’t do because they are hard

😁

I feel like it is pretty good. The only thing I would do is if we could start over

I love your app

The only thing is I would love to get new pictures every day like we did when I downloaded your app almost 8 years ago. I’m beginning to wonder what I’m paying for and out of all the other coloing apps out there I still Like yours…
