### 4/5 — Love it! But-

*2023-11-09*

I love it however over time you start to notice your work sheet pixilating with other colors here and there. If that were fixed it’d be absolutely perfect.

### 4/5 — Cloudy but also full of sunshine

*2021-04-26, version 2.5.4*

The app is really good with imagination and full of cute and good pictures, and is really relaxing, and it is really up to its goal and I like it how it can mix colors together.

### 3/5 — No support even after purchasing subscription

*2021-03-05, version 2.5.4*

I paid for a subscription but can’t continue to color saved pages I did on my iPhone when using my iPad why don’t they show?

### 3/5 — Nice App But ...

*2020-12-28, version 2.5.4*

Was really pleased with the app while using and even bought the annual subscription but was very disappointed when, after saving and reopening, the drawing colours were extremely faded and splotchy. I may still use as a relaxing exercise, but have already canceled my annual subscription. Too bad - it looked so good initially.

### 4/5 — 还不错

*2020-02-22*

建议添加一个导入图片，这样我就比较好画了，不是描图，希望能添加在里面

### 3/5 — うーん😓

*2019-10-11*

あんまりかな？
自分の写真使うやつがな〜、微妙😓

### 2/5 — Not easy at all!

*2019-03-07, version 2.5.4*

Trying color pics and changing colors with the tools not even the tutorials work.

Tap a color then that tool should be that color how hard is that.

### 1/5 — なんか

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2026-01-02, version 2.5.4*

paid$7.99 and not able to use my apple pencil to color. I do not want a fill in app.

### 1/5 — New books ever?

*2025-04-17, version 2.5.4*

I just bought the premium and there are no new books. None have been added for six years! Of course no refunds total waste of money to upgrade 🤨

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2025-01-26, version 2.5.4*

Its so bad you can't use A Apple Pencil when you draw

### 1/5 — Horrible!!!

*2023-12-27, version 2.5.4*

They tried charging my account without me knowing and locked up my account!! Apple support didn’t help at all!!

### 1/5 — Please help!!!

*2023-09-20, version 2.5.4*

Please help!!! I just got a 1-year subscription to Colorest. It said I could use my Apple Pencil. But I can't figure out how. I have the pencil fully charged. I have Bluetooth open and it says my Apple Pencil is connected. But when I open the app, it says "Pencil Disconnected." There is a long list showing how to use tools, but I see nothing that tells me how to get my Pencil "connected." This looks like a great app, but I don't color with fills. If I can't use my Apple Pencil, I don't want the application. If anyone sees this (hopefully the developer, but anyone tha-t can tell me how to fix this, please let me know. I'll change my 🌟 rating from 1 to 5, if I get help. Thanks.

### 1/5 — Cannot begin to color

*2020-11-25, version 2.5.4*

The one star is because I cannot figure, first how to even begin with the pencil to color. Nothing works to start No instructions on the basic. Like picking a color pencil then coloring. I have quite a few other ones and I can color.
The instruction I don’t think are clear.

### 1/5 — New Pencils

*2020-03-28, version 2.5.4*

They say they send you new pencils but they never show up in your pencils

### 1/5 — Always comes down to money

*2020-03-21, version 2.5.4*

I thought it would be reasonable but if you want good puzzles or more pen styles, you have to dish out the cash...COME ON!
Going to download HEY COLOR.....this app is very reasonable with more choices...

### 1/5 — 課金課金うるさい

*2019-04-14*

すぐに課金課金言うからあんまりできない

### 1/5 — Used to be good

*2018-12-25, version 2.5.2*

But your greed messed it all up.

### 5/5 — Few complaints about this game

*2024-05-27, version 2.5.4*

Why do you have to buy most of the books 📕 with your own money?💵But there is no ads Which is a good thing.

                           Sincerely,
                                    Bri

### 5/5 — Writing a book is a great idea.

*2023-09-10*

This app is so fun and easygoing.

### 5/5 — とても楽しいです！👍✨

*2022-08-08*

どうも！私はお絵描きも塗り絵もする人です！
私はチュートリアルを見なくてもわかるような分かりやすさで安心しました。(個人的に)
色を重ねれたりできることが個人的にびっくりしました笑😂

### 5/5 — とても良いアプリです

*2021-11-01*

既存の画材でも楽しめますが
課金して買う買い取りのキラキラ色鉛筆を買いました

絵の種類は少なく感じますが、色鉛筆の種類を増やして
楽しみながら遊んでます

定期購入のやつはiPadの本体のAppleIDのから解約できるので
説明を一読してから購入するのをお勧めします

とても楽しく遊ばして貰ってます

出来れば、絵の種類を増やして欲しいですm(__)m

### 5/5 — Nice

*2020-01-11, version 2.5.4*

Coolest

### 5/5 — Must have coloring app

*2019-09-14, version 2.5.4*

Wondering if there will be any updates new features?

This is one of the best coloring apps and the subscription is very good. I have had this app from the beginning. It has added a lot of features that I requested. They are always improving there app. You can import from your gallery or color from the books. That makes this a great coloring app. You will not regret it getting this app and getting the subscription. Since they added different brushes this is one of my favorites. Customer service is great also.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2019-07-12, version 2.5.4*

My only go to coloring program.  The options you have are never ending.  The only thing I wish is that there were better explanations for the different options.  One question is, I there any way to make rainbow brush w/just 2 colors?

### 5/5 — 良い！

*2019-05-21*

描きモードはどうやってするのですか？
とても楽しいです！

### 5/5 — Recommend Coloring

*2019-05-12, version 2.5.4*

Love these.  I am disabled,  so this is just wonderful it make my day.  THANK YOU.

### 5/5 — Complex to learn and worth the effort

*2018-11-23, version 2.5.0*

To those who think this is another tap-to-color, READ the documentation.  There is so much more to Colorest!  You can shade a single color into light, medium and dark hues.  Gradients are just long press and then swipe for linear or radial.  Pencil mode is available, too.  And then the magic brush!  Creating your own multi-hued colors.  You can tell it is much more than tap and color by looking at the user submissions.  Some of these people are real artists!  well, anyway I am a longtime fan and pay for premium just to support the creators of this app because I don't have time to color very often, but when i do, i want the best.
