I have to scroll down to find the old vivid color ones. The light ones are taking up too much space. ### 4/5 — Good but *2026-06-26, version 1.5.2* It’s a good one but no music and “finds” only come one per ad ### 5/5 — Mav *2026-06-20, version 1.5.2* Relaxing and fun ### 5/5 — Coloring *2026-06-14, version 1.5.2* So soothing ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-06-12, version 1.5.2* So relaxing I spend almost all my time doing this. You should try it too. ### 5/5 — Very relaxing *2026-06-07, version 1.5.2* Amazing vivid colors, ### 5/5 — Colorful *2026-06-05, version 1.5.2* I love the beautiful colors and pictures!! I spend hours a day playing ### 3/5 — Too many ads *2026-06-01, version 1.5.2* Coloring variety is quite good but the ads keep directing off the coloring page the App Store. When click back to safari have to start over. Annoying and time consuming…should just be able to “x” off to continue… ### 5/5 — Marvel *2026-05-31, version 1.5.2* Bring back the marvel colour pages ### 5/5 — Abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz *2026-05-27, version 1.5.2* Qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnm ### 5/5 — Yaaaaay *2026-05-23, version 1.5.2* This game is so peaceful and beautiful and it’s perfect for your home screens ### 4/5 — Great Coloring Game! *2026-05-12, version 1.5.1* I love this app, it’s very easy and not difficult to find the numbers. My only complaint though would be the colors appear flat now, less vibrant like they were last year and before. I’d love to see more book paiges and fantasy ones, like a potion shop or piano room. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Used to be so pretty *2026-07-10, version 1.5.2* The pictures used to be so pretty and vibrant and like 3D. But now we only get two of those a day and everything else is just flat and boring. What happened?? ### 1/5 — What happened? *2026-06-20, version 1.5.2* This app used to be one of my favorites not anymore. The colors and pictures used to be vibrant and beautiful now it’s just bland and like all the other color apps. Bring back the old format ### 1/5 — Fake and all lies *2026-06-18, version 1.5.2* Nothing like advertising! ### 1/5 — Adds *2026-06-15, version 1.5.2* Just love it when I open the app pick a pattern to color and have to wait for a stupid add ### 1/5 — Sorry but what *2026-06-13, version 1.5.2* I downloaded this game very excited 😆 to try it all out I went on but I couldn’t find any of the pics. Ten minutes of my time wasted searching for the flipping pictures. Turns out that there wasn’t any. Went on a holiday, when I came back and went on it, it kicked me of. Sorry 😐 but had to give it 1 star ⭐️ Do not recommend for your own sake DO NOT play. ### 1/5 — Not great *2026-04-29, version 1.5.1* I loved this app and was addicted to it. But since the app has been updated it’s really boring now. The pictures are just plain and boring to colour as there is no special features to them anymore. Really disappointing. I hope the app updates again and goes back to how it was before ### 1/5 — Too many ads, not enough quality art *2026-04-26, version 1.5.1* The pictures used to be vibrant with depth and looked like the examples you’re using to promote the app. Now all the new pics are flat or look like terrible blurry AI renderings. What happened? The art used to be so pretty, the colors used and the designs chosen were satisfying to complete but now, it’s just boring or frustrating. ### 1/5 — Awful now! *2026-04-18, version 1.5.1* I downloaded this app about a year ago. I loved the vivid colors, it was better than some of the top coloring apps. Well within the last month the app has changed and I don’t like it. The pictures are cool but now the colors are basic. I do not color on it anymore. Why did you have to change it? ### 1/5 — Picture Quality Changed *2026-04-05, version 1.5.1* Every picture used to be more realistic and fun to color. Now you only get 2 a day that are like that and the rest are cartoon like. I miss the old pics all being realistic, not happy with the new update. Used to be my favorite coloring app, now looking for new ones. ### 1/5 — This was the best coloring game… *2026-03-30, version 1.5.1* How can we get this game to go back to the original format?! It was so good and now I can’t even play it ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — i have a problem. *2026-08-10, version 1.5.2* HEY GUYS!!!! its ⚡️ThunderQueen⚡️ here!!!aaaaannnnnddddd..... i have a problem. someone glued my phone to my hand when i was playing this game.😝 i cant stop playing! it REALLY helps for stress, (except 4 all the mad flippin ads) and i LOVE the selection of KittyCat pics u can color. i just wanna know, are there any WarriorCats fans here? (if so, pls say in reviews) cause i was also wondering if the editors could add some WarriorCats pics i can color to the group. some cats like FireStar, LeafPool, BlueStar etc. that would be GREAT for WCRs. (WarriorCatsReaders) pls and thnx!!!!❤️ this is ⚡️ThunderQueen⚡️, signing out.💕💗💖💞💓💘💝🩷💜💟 ### 5/5 — Beautiful *2026-08-02, version 1.5.2* The pictures are so colorful. They did a great job! It’s very enjoyable! ### 5/5 — Trace M AUS 💚💛 *2026-07-29, version 1.5.2* FUN FUN FUN FUN ✅ ### 5/5 — Super jeu *2026-07-28, version 1.5.2* Beaux dessins et facile de colorier. ### 5/5 — Totally recommend. *2026-07-25, version 1.5.2* So,I just got back from watching a movie, the store, and eating, so it has been a long night and I am tired.I get home and get on color up (idk why just instinct)and I start coloring a animal picture and I feel wide awake after like,the fifteenth number.So I recommend for non-early birds such as myself.Great game.Update:I have been on the app for longer than an hour each day and I have things to share. 1.There is like, only 2 “N”s.this is a problem. 2.I have to scroll FOREVER just to see more than 2 dragon pictures.can you guys make a dragon category.also a Phoenix category. 3.There is less 3D/life-like pictures every day and I have to scroll forever to see more then 2. Update x2:can you make a section with song lyrics from Taylor Swift,Dolly Parton, and other people?Also, can you make song quotes from movies with a lot of music, like all of the Alvin and the Chipmunks movies, please?This will all be a great update if you can do this. ### 5/5 — This app: Good, Bad, Ugly *2026-07-22, version 1.5.2* I absolutely love this app! I have lots of coloring apps, however, this one by far is one of my top four favorites. Good: they have pages that are about everything that is special and important to me. This is definitely my go to coloring app. They have pages that resonate with me. So much, in fact, I have 212 apps in my progress to do. And I’m not done with reviewing everything yet. Huge kudos to the developers for creating this app. As I went through each of the pages, I kept thinking OK this is my favorite, however, I would go onto the next one and say the same thing. I also appreciate their counting down the number of colors. This is very important to me. I’m able to find the color because of this ability and move onto the next color. Huge benefit! The only suggestion is to have more quotes that are uplifting. Plus, I love hearts and stars, so I would love a page with both of them. If I could give this app more than five stars, I would easily give it 100 stars. Bad: Nothing! Ugly: Huge gigantic NO! I stayed up late last night to go through them, and, got up early this morning to do even more. My gratitude to the developers for all they have done for this app. You have a huge fan in me. ### 5/5 — No adds *2026-07-21, version 1.5.2* If you want to actually relax while coloring, this is your coloring game ,no adds unless you really can’t get a number and then you (choose) to have an ad it has automatic next color and excellent pictures of every kind! I deleted my other coloring app ### 5/5 — Color up *2026-07-18, version 1.5.2* So much fun everyone should play it ### 5/5 — Totally recommend. *2026-07-15, version 1.5.2* So,I just got back from watching a movie, the store, and eating, so it has been a long night and I am tired.I get home and get on color up (idk why just instinct)and I start coloring a animal picture and I feel wide awake after like,the fifteenth number.So I recommend for non-early birds such as myself.Great game.Also,Happy Easter!!!! Update:I have been on the app for longer than an hour each day and I have things to share. 1.There is like, only 2 “N”s.this is a problem. 2.I have to scroll FOREVER just to see more than 2 dragon pictures.can you guys make a dragon category.also a Phoenix category. 3.There is less 3D/life-like pictures every day and I have to scroll forever to see more then 2.
