### 3/5 — buggy

*2026-09-05, version 1.56.0*

has potential but is super glitchy and also has no sound

### 4/5 — I love this game!!!! 🎨🖌️💎✨💖

*2026-08-23, version 1.53.0*

I’m an actual diamond painter and this game is nice to have whenever I’m not actually doing real diamond painting I love the graphics and I love how the diamonds sparkle when you tilt and move your phone the graphics are beautiful! However I do wish the game developers would add an option to where we can upload our own photos and turn them into digital diamond paintings and maybe have an option to choose square or circle diamonds these are my only suggestions for this game so far and the reason why I’m rating it 4 stars instead of 5 other than that I really think this game is very well made it’s very enjoyable to play the game runs smoothly I highly recommend getting this color by number game!

### 4/5 — Too many ads to enjoy it

*2026-08-08, version 1.53.0*

can’t finish a painting without about 3-5 ads interrupting you, before and after sure, but multiple during is just greedy

### 3/5 — Too many adds

*2026-06-18, version 1.53.0*

It was a great game until a week ago, there adds 2 adds per images. If you make as mistake, you have to see an add to continue. I find the premium amounts very expensive for 1 to 2 images per day. I am really disapointed because it was great until I have to watch so 2 adds everytime I use the app.

### 4/5 — Wouldn’t suggest downloading

*2026-06-15, version 1.53.0*

It is a good game, if you are looking for a diamond art painting game it’s not bad and has good graphics! What I hate is that you HAVE to buy premium otherwise you can only do a couple photos per category unless you have 150 coins to spare or it’s a category that has all the photos unlocked. The daily photos you can do are available for only that day and then you HAVE to buy premium to do them, and now they added the feature that every single photo you want to do gives you an ad before you are allowed to do it, and if you want stars to level up after doing a photo you have to watch an ad. So now they are forcing ads down your throat. If you don’t have a problem with any of this I would definitely suggest downloading it isn’t horrible but it also isn’t the greatest coloring app!
Edit: a couple of things I forgot was that it’s also insanely difficult to earn coins and level up. I have finished 48 of the coloring pictures and only have 857 coins. When it is 950 coins to unlock a category of pictures. I really hope you guys take the advice we are giving because the “breathe and continue” button actually makes me want to break my phone. It also lags to where if you finish a photo and don’t have premium and want to watch an ad for extra stars, etc. it will lag so you get another ad right after watching one. Please fix your app and get rid of these features.

### 3/5 — Great app-too many ads

*2026-06-13, version 1.53.0*

I love doing the puzzles, but over the past few weeks, they’ve increased the amount of ads you must sit through.  Considering giving it up due to this.

### 3/5 — Moving too much and not centered

*2026-05-17, version 1.53.0*

I like this app but if you’re trying to do a big section of a number / letter it moves  too much and the puzzles aren’t centered so it’s hard to do sections without going over

### 3/5 — Не грузит

*2026-04-03*

Игра классная,но перестала грузиться от слова совсем(((

**Developer response:** Здравствуйте! Спасибо за ваш отзыв. Нам очень жаль слышать, что у вас возникли проблемы с загрузкой игры. Попробуйте перезагрузить устройство и проверить подключение к интернету.

### 4/5 — New feature

*2026-03-16, version 1.52.0*

A free feature where u can import photos to paintings

### 4/5 — Pretty Cool!

*2026-03-13, version 1.52.0*

This is pretty neat. I like how the you can see the facets of the drills. I can even see the material of the canvas. I think this would be even better if the sparkle was more intense as it shines especially once it’s revealed under the light. It would be cool if it has the sounds of the drills popping. It would be cool if special enhancement drills were added too. Even better if the images were rendered more clearly even with licensed art work. This game has potential.

### 1/5 — Не загружается приложение

*2026-02-28*

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2026-08-31, version 1.56.0*

You have to pay to play? ☹️

### 1/5 — Pretty sure ts gave me a virus

*2026-08-21, version 1.53.0*

Crashed immediately and my phone started doin funky shi

### 1/5 — No free ones all are for premium only.

*2026-06-11, version 1.53.0*

Thought this would be a great way to get my mind off stuff. Instead I get hit with the 7-day free trial and no free anything not even watch an ad. Removing this one

### 1/5 — Bug.

*2026-05-18, version 1.53.0*

I downloaded it ,I went onto the game and I tried clicking don’t allow when the “allow notifications “ button popped up and I tried clicking that button nd then the allow button but then it started glitching out and shutting the screen of my device on and off. So I had no choice but to turn off my device and delete it. I don’t know if it was a bug or glitch but that was the only time my device ever did that on an app.

### 1/5 — Money hungry

*2026-05-09, version 1.53.0*

99% of all the paintings are locked, including past ones lol

### 1/5 — Не открывается

*2026-04-06*

Экран загрузки то слабое соединение то вообще нет интернета и не запускается

**Developer response:** Здравствуйте! Спасибо за ваш отзыв. Нам очень жаль слышать, что у вас проблемы с загрузкой игры. Попробуйте проверить свою сеть или перезапустить приложение.

### 1/5 — Crashed

*2026-03-10, version 1.52.0*

I downloaded the game because I love diamond painting and thought this could be a relaxing down time when I’m not doing an actual painting. Immediately as I opened the app it made my phone crash out and freeze for a good 3 minutes. When it got back to normal I opened the app and it was glitching so bad I didn’t even get to see if it was even worth having. I absolutely do not recommend this app they have a lot of work to do to fix the problems. I had to get rid of it didn’t even get a chance to use it.

### 1/5 — Exciting at first but then comes the disappointment

*2026-03-09, version 1.52.0*

App is great if you like this kind of activity. But it does not store the images especially the last few that you completed like it’s supposed to, the Apple Pencil feature selections do not work switching between the two modes.  So I reached out to customer support and they said “hmmm we’ll look into this” never heard another word back. And for an app that cost almost 200 bucks a year to subscribe to if the basics aren’t working that I can’t embrace it

### 1/5 — Ужас

*2026-03-09*

Не загружается помогите

### 1/5 — Сбой в аппл пэнсл

*2026-03-07, version 1.52.0*

Все было хорошо, но потом стилус перестал безотрывно раскрашивать, теперь же тыкать нужно, из за чего постоянно дергается картинка.

### 5/5 — I wish there was an option where you could upload your own photos

*2026-08-21, version 1.53.0*

Love it

### 5/5 — Good but…

*2026-07-09, version 1.53.0*

I love this game but y’all need to add a mode where u can view the painting from above and allow you to section it because that’s what I do when I do these IRL, so please! Add that! And also, less ads please.

### 5/5 — AI images and app freezing

*2026-06-14, version 1.53.0*

I'm about 90% sure most if not all of these pictures are ai, I can tell by how some wings, plants, and lighting doesn't make sense. I can look past that as I genuinely enjoy the apps GUI and functionality but I've had this app completely freeze my phone 3 times now. The last time It did I was locked out of my device for nearly 2 minutes as the app was frozen on a loading screen. I almost called 911 from pressing buttons trying to get my phone to react. 
This app needs major polish and at this moments it's not worth $15 a month. I Maybe $5 at most with all its lagging, freezing, and suspected ai usage. It has a great foundation to grow from if the team will put in the work to iron out the bugs.

### 5/5 — Ads!? Just why!?

*2026-06-09, version 1.53.0*

Why is there an ad before every painting now?! Not having to watch an ad before every painting was the best part because every other game like this does that. And now you ruined this one too. Get rid of this “feature” please. It was a perfect game before you implemented this “feature” that nobody wants. Please, this is one of my favorite time killing games. Please get rid of that “feature” it crashes the game too.

### 5/5 — Gut

*2026-05-11*

Weiter so

### 5/5 — Very calm and nice, no ads!

*2026-04-27, version 1.53.0*

I love this game a lot and appreciate that there’s no ads but, most of the diamond paintings look like AI..But it could just be me.  Overall, I love the game.

### 5/5 — good

*2026-02-19, version 1.52.0*

this is actually pretty fun, there are like practically no ads and you can see where the parts you missed are without having to watch an ad it’s really cool and i definitely recommend

### 5/5 — The most realistic diamond painting app

*2026-02-10, version 1.52.0*

What a relaxing and enjoyable diamond painting game this is!  If you love the real thing, this is by far the most realistic looking app.  It’s very easy to fill in the gem squares, simply by running your finger lightly over the image.  You can’t make a mistake, because only the highlighted color will fill in.  No picking and removing mistakes is ever needed.  There is plenty of free artwork to choose from.  You can watch ads to earn coins to purchase additional content, but you don’t have to watch ads.  As you level up, more art collections are available to you.  This is just a really enjoyable little game if you love diamond painting.

### 5/5 — Diamond painting

*2026-02-07, version 1.51.3*

Love this app it’s so relaxing

### 5/5 — excellent quality of life!

*2026-01-30, version 1.51.3*

this is my diamond art coloring go to, its very annoyence-free! i have plaied many other diamonds painting games, i thought i wont like this because its 3d, but this hame runs very smoothly, and the fact that you can click on the color to find the nearest missing diamond, and tap on the empty diamond slot to pick that color is amazing! personally, i would like when i paint the diamonds, instead of one diamond wide, its 3 or 4 diamonds wide. and i would like to see different textures/types of diamonds for me to chose from!
