### 4/5 — Livre à colorier

*2026-04-29, version 2.1*

D’application est très bien. -1. Étoiles ajouter nouveau dessin

### 5/5 — Vraiment

*2025-08-06, version 2.1*

C’est plus réaliste du vrai coloriage je la recommande ça fait quelque année et c’est addictif Mei

### 4/5 — Love it!

*2024-03-11, version 2.1*

I love this coloring app. More choices please!

### 1/5 — you get maybe 4 free blanks - have to pay for more

*2023-05-02, version 2.1*

i like the colors and the way you get to color the lines in yourself, but they only have like 3-5 free pages. If you want to unlock other pages you have to pay for it. So if younwant to color the same pages repeatedly then this app is great for you. Otherwise you can choose to pay for more or just find a different app...

### 1/5 — Are You Kidding Me?!?!

*2022-09-15, version 2.1*

This is a horrible app. I could not color any pictures. Not a single one. They say no subscription needed but if you didn’t buy the non-subscription subscription, you could not color any pictures. In order to start coloring anything, you have to buy each individual picture or buy the non-subscription subscription. Deleting this app.

### 5/5 — Mon avis

*2022-08-28, version 2.1*

Jeux très l fun plus facile avec un crayon pour dessiner.
Facile à comprendre, dur à lâcher. 
Seul b mole est que quand on paye pour les jeux ces 1.99 mais que pour une seul sélection. Pas pour tout les dessins dès sélection donc ces 1.99 que pour une série de dessins pas pour tout les jeux.

### 1/5 — Money grab

*2022-08-26, version 2.1*

One free sucks

### 5/5 — The VERY BEST

*2021-08-12, version 2.1*

We need MORE LIKE IT. I LOVE IT SO MUCH THAT I COLORED IT TWICE. PLEASE-make more like it. 💗💕🌹

### 5/5 — Best colouring app

*2020-07-27, version 2.1*

I have tried many colouring apps and this one is amazing. Beautiful pictures to choose from, and so many colours. Plus it doesn’t cost an arm and a leg to use.

### 5/5 — Colorier

*2019-11-29, version 2.1*

I love this app.  First of all, because I can work on my I Pad in Landscape which makes it easy.  I love being able to use my IPad pencil.

I wish there were more choices, for example during the Holidays.  

This is the best I was able to get.

Easy to enlarge to make it easier to color.

Thanks
