### 4/5 — Love it!

*2024-03-11, version 2.1*

I love this coloring app. More choices please!

### 4/5 — Real coloring!

*2018-03-23, version 2.1*

I thought that Pigment was the best coloring experience, but this app allows for more accuracy when using the Apple Pencil with no auto borders.  The only complaint I have is that there are no updates to the coloring albums so you run out of fun pictures and then it’s back to another program.  Update please!

### 4/5 — You actually get to color!  Not point and fill

*2016-10-12, version 2.1*

Ok, this app is gorgeous and has real coloring. Not point and fill for kids.  The designs are all great, and a small fee per category, or a reasonable fee to unlock all the designs.  I have no problem with that.

But I have an iPad Pro with a Pencil.  I really wanted some type of touch sensitivity to pressure, not just zoom in to make the relative size of the point smaller.  That to me is the only downside, hopefully you can consider it for a future update.

### 4/5 — One of the best

*2016-07-12, version 2.1*

Have tried lots of colouring apps and this is one of the best, lots of great pics to colour, easy to use. Would be great if their was more colours to choose from and if you could tap and fill as some of the more intricate pics take ages to complete. Love all the new colours

### 5/5 — Colorful

*2016-07-12, version 2.1*

Best coloring of all. First rate. The amount of colors is fantastic. Well worth the price.

### 5/5 — Gorgeous

*2016-05-16, version 2.0*

Not so much free as "try before you buy" but absolutely worth the trial. Beautiful interface, great designs, very intuitive interface to scale and twist the drawing under your fingers to get the most natural position for your strokes.... Really well-thought-out. 

Only complaint might be that the templates aren't vector so when you scale in too far they start to blur, but when you zoom back out to screen res it's all good. :)

### 5/5 — Zenawesome

*2016-04-30, version 1.2*

Awesome coloring book

### 4/5 — More colors and will be a great app

*2016-04-09, version 1.1*

I love the apps that let me feel like I am really coloring. I did buy full version especially when you said that it will apply to future releases. I really would love more colors. But for now I think your app is worth buying. Keep doing updates. I will upgrade to 5 stars once there are more colors like a color wheel would make your app great.

### 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.

### 1/5 — Money grab

*2022-08-26, version 2.1*

One free sucks

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2016-05-23, version 2.0*

So it works great, until I tried to change the color for the first time then it took me home like I pushed the home button on my iPod. I love it I think it's good, but glitchy. Please fix.

### 1/5 — App wont open

*2016-05-05, version 1.3*

I would love to try this app. Ive been looking for a color app to buy but this app force shuts down immediately once opened. Please fix.

### 1/5 — Oops!

*2016-04-10, version 1.1*

Downloaded but crashes when trying to open. Deleted :(

### 1/5 — CRASH

*2016-04-03, version 1.0*

Never opens, just crashes.

### 2/5 — Only 3 Free Prints?

*2017-03-02, version 2.1*

I'm a bit disappointed... I was looking forward to coloring, but when I started going through it... there were only 3 free prints to color! The rest of them you have to pay for! 
I guess you're not paying for the app, so.... but, each print is .99! That's going to add up!

### 3/5 — Beautiful pics

*2016-07-25, version 2.1*

I can get in now. Thank you. The app starts out very beautiful. Very original. There is only a few free pics. There should be an adjustment on the size of the coloring tool since the pics are so intricate. Plus I make a few strokes and the color goes else where, it comes back with the undo button, but as soon as you make another stroke, boom, color elsewhere. So only 3 stars. And would love more FREE pics. Thanks.

### 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

### 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.

### 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

### 5/5 — Best COLORING App

*2019-02-16, version 2.1*

This is the best coloring app I’ve found. All the rest of the “coloring” apps I’ve tried, you hit a color and you hit the space where you want that color and it fills it in for you. This app, you actually do the work, as if it was a piece of paper and you were using a real marker, although, if you do mess up, you can either hit the undo button, use the eraser, or just color over it, and the colors don’t mix! Well worth the $7.99 price, and if they update and add more pictures, they’re included.

### 5/5 — You're actually colouring in!

*2017-05-08, version 2.1*

As I live in pain, I try to do things that can focus and occupy my mind, so that I'm not so consumed by my issues. I used to buy books and pencils, but I thought that this would be easier and helpful in cutting down clutter. A lot of these adult colour apps, you select the colour you want, touch the area you want it to go on, and it does it for you. This one doesn't do that, you do it yourself, whether you use you finger or a padded stylus, to colour in your selected picture, and you can add a different colour on an already filled in area, to give your pictures some depth and shading. Just as you can with a book!
Great app, and it's free, definitely a bargain!

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2016-10-11, version 2.1*

Awesome

### 5/5 — Colouring

*2016-08-15, version 2.1*

I have a number of color aps and this is definitely one of the best - give it a go

### 5/5 — Wow

*2016-08-13, version 2.1*

Download on a whim but was hooked from the start - enough to pay to unlock everything - not like any of the other colouring apps I've looked at! You colour by using finger as the brush not just clicking to fill a block in. It's easy to use and indeed very relaxing and I would thoroughly recommend.
