This game is mostly great but when I color a Picture it will freeze a lot and won’t always let me zoom in and out. If you could fix this problem it would make me very happy😄 ### 4/5 — I’m confused.... *2020-10-17, version 1.7.0* I’m confused as to why some pics that I click on that I want to color will not open for me. Ones in the Painting category for example (the lady w/her hair in a bun). The lines being connected seems to have been corrected. For the price we pay for a year, just seems that I’d have zero problems opening any of the pics in any category. I love this app except for being frustrated about pics it won’t allow me to color. Can you advise? **Developer response:** Hi there, thanks for reaching out! We're happy to help!

We look forward to hearing from you! ### 4/5 — Great app but.. *2020-06-22, version 1.6.7* I really like this app but I asked a question when I first got my IPhone, years ago. I already had the IPad. My question never got answered. I annually pay for the app and have been a customer since the beginning. I can access all of the designs on my IPad but not on my IPhone. Is there an extra cost for using the designs on my IPhone? Since I’ve paid for using the app what difference does it make whether I use my IPad or my IPhone? It doesn’t matter how many times you color a design so what difference does it make where you use it? I also get frustrated when the design lines don’t meet all the way. Nothing like spending time planning your design’s color scheme and then can’t separate the colors on one section. Can’t someone proof them. Thanks. **Developer response:** Hi there, thanks for reaching out! We're happy to help! I'm sorry to hear that you're having issues with the app. Our team needs some info from your device to help.

I would give it 5 stars except there are so many free coloring Apps that I can’t justify paying for one. A tip, though: if you scroll through the locked designs there will occasionally be one that is not locked and you can color that one free. ### 5/5 — Totally Cool *2020-01-18, version 1.6.7* I love this app! This is the best art app that I’ve found. The colors are so pretty and the pictures are so unique. I could spend hours on this app. And I love how they organized all the pictures and colors. This app is now probably my favorite app that is on my iPad. I am on it so much now that I’m addicted to it. Now I’m on this app so much I’m hardly not on TikTok. ### 5/5 — ColorArt *2020-01-12, version 1.6.7* I have tried several coloring apps but this one is by far the best! I like the variety of color palettes to choose from as well as the numerous varieties of photos to pick from. This app does not have annoying ads like some of the other coloring apps. ### 4/5 — Beautiful app *2019-11-27, version 1.6.7* I love this app a lot because I enjoy figuring out interesting color schemes for the pictures. The only reason I didn’t give the app 5 stars is because there are problems with getting color into some areas of many of the pictures with small details. Also some of the pictures have places where the lines don’t close all the way so that the color spreads into adjacent areas. If you could improve on those things I will give the app 5 stars. **Developer response:** Hi there, thank you for the updated review! We're happy to hear that you are continuing to enjoy our app. If you have any questions or feedback, please Contact Us. Thanks for playing! ### 5/5 — Great colors *2019-11-11, version 1.6.7* I love this game I drawn pictures for my family and LOVED my pictures I’ve drawn so...if you want to know I really like this art game to calm down but the thing about that gets me mad is when the little pop up blocks and I press the x it sends me to the App Store and when I get back to the app I have to do it ALL over again so...yah but anyway it is a good game so you should play it😊 ### 5/5 — Null-explanation *2019-08-25, version 1.6.7* I’d like to say this app. Is the best art book I’ve seen. My wife & mom do paint by #, however I like usin’ my own creativity @ least one bit anyway! Grab one of the pens, a li’l color, & let your beautiful imagination go far, far AWAY! SUPER GAME, hours of fun, & when done, redo & redo again! ### 5/5 — Coloring Fun *2019-08-17, version 1.6.7* I color often to relax and this is my favorite site. I like the colors and I especially like that they keep the colors together as you use them. I appreciate that this site is exactly what it says Free and it is always adding new pictures. Give it a try. ### 5/5 — One major issue *2019-08-12, version 1.6.7* I love this app! But, I had some difficulty with uploading a picture because of internet apparently. So I deleted the app and then reinstalled it because it is saved in the cloud, but I lost every picture that I had colored. Talk about getting upset! It took a lot of time and thought on which colors to use. So, if you are reading this to decide if you want to download this app, it will give you hours of therapeutic pleasure! Just make sure that you save your pictures to your photos so that you don’t lose them! **Developer response:** Hello Podgy 2, Thank you very much for reporting this to us!

I spend hours every evening during the week and most of Saturday as well coloring. There is just something about coloring that takes away all the negative things that came up during the day. It is pure enjoyment and relaxing. The only thing negative I have come across is when coloring lines are not connected in a picture. When I go to color a specific area, the whole background page gets the color that I was applying to the specific spot. Hence the area does not get colored at all! Other than that, it is a great and relaxing coloring app. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Terrible *2020-10-16, version 1.7.0* When I first started the app, there was only two categories. Then I tried to color a picture. I was greeted with, “you need to send us money”! After a few more tries, I finally found a picture I could color. Then when I tried to use some greens to color some leaves, again I was greeted with, “you need to send us more money”! The heck with that! All I want to do is relax and color a picture without hitting one road block after another. I did notice that more categories did show up but still blocked many of the pictures. ### 1/5 — Sloppy jobs *2019-07-12, version 1.6.4* I’ve used this app for over a year. At first I REALLY enjoyed it so I purchased a year subscription. After that, new pages were added VERY slowly. When I got the notice that my subscription was ready for renewal, I almost cancelled, but decided to try one more time. Now, more and more often the new pictures have many flaws. It is VERY irritating to be over half-way finished with a picture and then find out the lines aren’t closed in one area and when you color in that spot, it turns many of the surrounding areas the same color and ruins the picture. Today new pictures were released in ‘Places’. The first one I tried is a total screwup. No matter where I touch the pic, the ENTIRE page turns that color. Honestly, I really wish I hadn’t renewed the subscription. I highly doubt it will happen, but I would really like to cancel and get a refund. This is supposed to be relaxing, not stressful. **Developer response:** Hi MommaMadre55, Thanks for the feedback and for reporting this issue to us. I'm saddened to hear that your experience hasn't been ideal recently and we'd most definitely like to change that for you! Our team would like to learn more info about the pages you saw with edges that aren't closed to address this issue right away. If you haven't already, please click the game Settings and then Contact Us with your unique ID MW-696180. We hope to hear from you in the near future so we can get this straightened out for you! ### 2/5 — The images have little variety in artistic style and isn’t quality controlled at all *2023-07-23* It seems it’s maybe one or two artists with little deviation in style making the same style of pictures that contain the same things over and over with little variety. Additionally, these images are clearly not quality controlled for coloring- as filling in one area often fills in entire surrounding areas because they’re not properly closed off. You’ll note that this has been a complaint for several years now, with no fix made. But at your own risk. ### 2/5 — Frequency of New Designs and Colors *2021-06-05, version 1.7.0* It is taking too long between new designs. I don’t like some of the designs and will not use them. Give me newer ones more often ‼️ I have repeatedly added for new colors but you just keep the same ones. I think I need to look for another painting source to see if I can find one that is more up to date. ### 2/5 — No longer interested *2020-12-03, version 1.7.0* So I have enjoyed this app for years now and I use the free version. I was fine with getting adds, I don’t play with it everyday and don’t want a paid version when I don’t use it often. When it started shutting down after 10 minutes of coloring the same page to show me game adds, it got frustrating and I wasn’t sure it was still worth keeping. Now it shuts down to show me adds for hook up sites... I’m delegating this app. I like to let my 5 year old granddaughter color with my iPad sometimes. She did not need to see 2 hot girls making out when she was coloring a Christmas tree. If you wouldn’t mind adds for a hook up then go for it, the coloring pages are decent. **Developer response:** Hi there, our user-friendly policy requires every ad to be simple to close by pressing an “X”, “»»” or something similar after a short-timer. If an ad doesn’t adhere to those guidelines, please submit an in-game message with your ID MW-1025378 via Settings » Support » Contact Us. This will help our team to get it removed right away! ### 2/5 — Adult coloring *2017-08-12, version 1.6.0* Revising my earlier review. I still love to color but it is pretty low to tease put the new pictures up but when you go to it sorry you have to pay if you want to color it. I will just go buy more books and pencils for much less. I have found other sites that offer a lot more colors for free than this one does so I tend to gravitate towards it more now. This site really needs to step it up. ### 2/5 — Good until the subscription comes in *2017-05-22, version 1.6.0* I liked this at the start but then they want you to pay for a subscription, I can buy books for less. Way too expensive. Should be a much lower one time only price for newer books. They have priced themselves out of my wanting to buy anything. For the amount of money you charge there should be more color choice such as graduating colors and colors with more shine and variations like some other apps have. Not too fond of a lot of your pictures such as doodles. Limit in colors make it hard to color properly. Better location pictures etc. are needed too. ### 3/5 — How much money do you need to make *2022-12-31, version 1.7.0* I had been using a paint by numbers app for quite awhile and began wondering if there was an app which would let me choose my own colors. When I found ColorArt I thought I had found the perfect app. My joy was very short lived. I soon discovered that the colors are extremely limited and if I wanted to expand my choices, the price was exorbitant! Disappointment set in quickly. I had colored over 250 pictures with the paint by numbers app without spending a single penny. The developers need to make this app more user friendly. **Developer response:** I am sorry to learn that your experience hasn’t been absolutely perfect recently.

Thanks for giving our game a try! ### 3/5 — Needed enhancements *2020-01-19, version 1.6.7* In order for me to renew my subscription I would want to see the following: provide a black correction pen to connect lines and an eraser to change pattern. Also provide a hue slider so I can use a darker or lighter hue of the same color. Lastly I would like choices for backgrounds such as lined or patterned. Without these changes I probably will not pay again. It has become boring. ### 3/5 — Rate color art: *2019-11-19, version 1.6.7* I enjoyed color for over a year but when I got a new I pad and had it transferred to the new pad I don’t get all the pictures any more. I only get about 10 % of the pictures that I use to. I have tried everything but to no avail I can not get all the pictures. Don’t know what else to do and don’t know how to get in touch with you. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Very Good App for free-style coloring *2023-08-08* I’m sorry to see support ending for this app. I truly enjoyed being able to color the vast array of pictures any way I wanted. I don’t want to paint someone else’s idea of what a picture looks like which is what the paint by number apps do. Thank you for providing such a good product. I will miss the excitement of seeing new pictures when they released. Now that you’re no longer going to support this product, perhaps you could consider making all the pictures and colors available to everyone. It would be a nice gesture for those who have stuck by this product for so long and a way to create brand loyalty as a developer that wants to sell new products in the future. ### 5/5 — Great app, keeps my entertained by the hour. *2022-01-17, version 1.7.0* This is a lot of entertaining, I am enjoy it very much. Keep adding pictures. I have loved to color since I was a little girl. I have also told my friends about this app. ### 5/5 — Relax art can’t beat this App. *2021-10-27, version 1.7.0* This art App. I will give two thumbs up 👍🏼👍🏼!!! If people like to relax this art App. is for you. They have all the colors you could ever want and they keep updating the blank arts so you can color it in and then save your art or share it on Twitter, Facebook or email or message area. Keep up the new blank art so I can enjoy coloring them in! Give this App ⭐️🌟⭐️🌟⭐️🌟⭐️ **Developer response:** Hi there, thanks for the review. We appreciate your feedback!

Thanks for playing! ### 5/5 — Loving this.... *2021-10-11, version 1.7.0* So glad I found this app! I had paper coloring book but had difficulty staying in lines (age and cataracts). Purchased one-year subscription - at one picture a day,that costs me less than a dime a day. A bargain for 30 minutes (more or less) of entertainment. After only one week, got more new pictures. Thanks for the app. ### 5/5 — Beautiful Stress Release *2021-08-19, version 1.7.0* ColorArt is a wonderful app that allows you to relax and zone out into a relaxing environment while you color a beautiful picture of art. It allows you to release all of your tension for the day and appreciate the colors. Slip away into a relaxing world that you controlled and created. Have fun and create your pictures and show them off to your friends and the world if you choose, or keep them to yourself if you choose the option is completely yours! ### 5/5 — Great app! *2020-10-24, version 1.7.0* I love this app, really fun if you want to color. The variety is also really good. But, developers please read this. I want there to be a pride section, because i think it would be very inclusive, and people would be able to share the colorful and supporting artwork during pride month. Thank you so much! ### 5/5 — Love the App *2020-08-18, version 1.7.0* Love the App but would like to see some new colors included. Also in some of the rows a couple of the colors are exactly the same which is taking away from the amount of colors. At another time I had suggested a color wheel in which we can create our own special colors. That would be great too. Also, wish you’d put new pics in FRONT of old ones. It’s a drag pushing through countless pics to get to the new ones. What’s going to happen years from now when new pics after new are going to add up! We’ll be scrolling forever!! **Developer response:** Hi there, thanks for the review. We appreciate your suggestion! Our team is always looking for ways to improve our apps, so we really appreciate you taking the time to leave a review.

Thanks for playing! ### 5/5 — Calming *2020-08-02, version 1.7.0* The time I spend coloring is so relaxing & calming. It has brought me through this trying time (corona virus, etc) to another time & place. My mind is at peace when I am able to distract myself to my pictures. Thank you! ### 5/5 — I want to color the world!!!! *2020-02-19, version 1.6.7* Dear color art people, Please respond to this. First of all, I LOVE your app. It is so much fun!!!! I love being able to color all different kinds of things and showing my work to my friends and family! Anyhow, there are things I cant color because I don’t want to join a special program. My only request is that you make these things more useable. Please listen and respond. I LOVE your app!!!!!!!!!!!! **Developer response:** Thanks for the suggestion! They play a vital role in our development process as we are continually working towards improving our app. Please Contact Us through the in-game Support page if you have any additional suggestions to share with our team. Thanks for playing! ### 5/5 — The best game *2020-02-01, version 1.6.7* I love this game it is so much fun and relaxing with so many different colors and really quite for those that play at night and great for kids and every picture turns out to be the best picture ever and is fun for both boys and girls who are the best or worst at coloring and best for keeping your hopes up for being an artist --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
