User reviews

Didn’t work at all when downloaded, devs fixed

After they updated, a week later, the app works now. But they have a history of breaking it, and that is completely unacceptable. And it’s getting in the way of their own success.

The app itself is really nice, and I’m giving four stars to encourage the devs. Why not just make a solid app rather than trying to inject always online server side garbage that breaks it?

Response from developer

Can you let me know if it's still an issue for you? Please email support@colorminis.com so i can help

Used to be good

It used to be good, now you have to pay for everything

amazing airbrushing top new features!

Detailed models 360 view most amazing collection from anime to dungeons warriors i love it my favorite app for relaxing!

Can’t even paint a basic model

First model I tapped on was a free model. I hit the play button and was told I have to watch an ad or subscribe to a premium. I have to watch an ad or pay a subscription to do basic gameplay. Ridiculous and sketchy.

Response from developer

Sorry — I understand why that feels sketchy. In the current version, the play button is the “access” step: some models are free, but starting a session may require watching 1 ad (or having Pro), and we never show ads during the actual coloring session. Please update to the latest version — we lowered unlock costs and improved messaging so it’s clearer what’s free vs. ad-supported vs. Pro. If after updating a model is labeled free but still behaves incorrectly, contact us via the store’s Contact Developer link with your device + OS version and we’ll fix it fast.

Deceptive app

I tried purchasing 100 Gem in app for what it said was $4.99. It charged $5.99 and gave me 20 gems. Reported this to Apple.

Response from developer

Sorry about that — you’re right to flag it. A UI/text bug was showing the wrong price/pack for some users, and it has now been fixed in the latest version. Because Apple handles billing and refunds, please continue with your Apple report for the charge. If you also contact us via the store’s Contact Developer link with your purchase date/time and (if possible) a screenshot/receipt, we’ll verify what happened on our side and make sure you’re taken care of.
