### 3/5 — .

*2026-07-18, version 4.3.0*

I like the gam and I love coloring but in the picture every so often you have a number that is locked and in order to use that color you have to get the subscription or watch an ad 1st off some of use don’t have the money to pay for the subscription 2nd off if we have to watch an ad every once in awhile it would get extremely tiredly again love the game love coloring but there are too many ads in one picture would be higher if there were not so many adds

### 2/5 — Could be good, but those ads…

*2026-03-30, version 4.2.2*

Was in my first picture and will be deleting the app. Color, and the ads pop up in the middle of it? No. I can understand ads in between pictures, but when I’m trying to relax with an easy, fun app and you bombard me with ads 5 minutes in and pressure me to buy into ‘no ads’, you’ve lost me.  There are so many others that don’t interrupt me in the middle of a picture, why would I keep this one? Two stars because the pictures look cute, you lost the rest due to the interruption, greed and annoyance this causes rather than being a way to unwind. Let me know if it ever changes and I might try it again.

### 1/5 — Slow

*2026-02-20, version 4.2.1*

Slow app.  Delayed coloring.

### 3/5 — Good grief!

*2026-02-16, version 4.2.1*

The pictures are beautiful, but the plethora of ads is really annoying.  This is the only color app that I have that your coloring is interrupted with ads.  It’s not just one ad, either.  I’m really not sure if this is worth the aggravation.

### 3/5 — Classic scenes of thing color by number

*2026-02-12, version 4.2.1*

It’s OK, but I can’t find images that I want and then what I wanna color and it says not what I like. I don’t like when people give me off to the left to choose my mom. I’d rather pick what I want and think of what I’m interested in not what people say I Have to pick from.

### 1/5 — Ads are insane!

*2026-02-08, version 4.2.1*

I deleted this app. Trying to do the first picture and an add plays every 10 seconds. That is absolutely ridiculous. Too many ads doesn’t make someone buy your app. It makes them delete it.

### 1/5 — False advertising!

*2026-02-03, version 4.2.1*

Your ad shows beautiful artwork of women with gorgeous faces, hats, and flowers,etc., but, as with
most of the other colouring apps, these pictures are nowhere to be seen.  When you see the actual pictures available, they are just the same boring, fluff shown on every site. 
Why can’t we get the actual pictures you show in the ad??  Very disappointing!

### 2/5 — ADS ADS ADS!

*2026-01-30, version 4.2.1*

Spent more time watching ads than color.

### 3/5 — Only ok

*2026-01-11, version 4.2.1*

Too many ads

### 2/5 — Scarso…

*2026-01-02, version 4.2.0*

Avevo scaricato il gioco sperando di non incappare in troppa pubblicità. Mi sbagliavo… ogni cinque o sei colori esce il messaggio di pagare se non vuoi pubblicità. Io non voglio giochi con pubblicità. Così adesso cancellerò questo gioco. Per fortuna ci sono altri giochi che non ti bombardano di pubblicità.

### 1/5 — Really Unhappy

*2025-12-29, version 4.2.0*

So, for the second time, even though I’ve paid for a pricy year’s subscription, I can’t access do the pictures without ads. This time the app name changed on my phone from Christmas Color to Classic Color. The picture I just tried to do was a birthday picture, but if the same app I paid for adds new pictures, I should be able to access them and use them without ads. I could have saved a lot of money by just subscribing for a month for December. It feels like a bait and switch, although it could just be a software glitch. Regardless, for the yearly price this shouldn’t be happening again for a second time. I either subscribed at the end of November or the first of December and this is the second time it has made me do ads even though I paid for no ads. I’ve never had this issue with other apps.

### 2/5 — Meh.

*2025-12-26, version 4.1.9*

This app makes you watch an add every move you make.It gives you the smallest hint to where the color is and then makes you watch an add.Like I want to color not watch adds.However the pictures are still pretty.

### 1/5 — Abonnement raté

*2025-12-15, version 4.1.8*

J’ai acheté un abonnement pour un an et ils ne me l’ont pas débloqué ceci p’m’a coûter 99,99 pour rien je ne comprend pas..

### 1/5 — Terrible Support

*2025-12-12, version 4.1.8*

I purchased this app for $75 with tax, late one evening, the next morning I woke up and went to color, and all I get are ads. prior to my payment going through, there were no ads in my app. It was a trial, and all ads were cleared.
As soon as they received their money, ALL reappeared. There are so many ads, that you really cannot use the app.

I do see that other people have made the same complaint on here.

I had no problem paying that amount, the coloring book is beautiful, but if you can’t color on it, what’s the use of having it. 
Especially when it cost $75!

I have reached out to the company four times now, I have done everything they suggested, to no avail.

You can’t contact them directly, they’re terrible with their reply time, and they act as though they have no way to fix it on their end, which is very strange to me.

It would seem as though they could take your information and go in and mark you as being a paid member like any other app would be able to. For whatever reason they don’t seem to have the ability to do that.

So yes, if the company is checking reviews, I have contacted you four different times and I still have an app that is not working, and no way to return it. So I am out of $75, and I believe that they knew Apple would not refund this to me. So I would consider this a scam at this point.

### 1/5 — Cancellation

*2025-12-10, version 4.1.8*

I am trying to cancel this~ granddaughter ordered without permission- how do I do this?

### 1/5 — App Deleted before first picture was done

*2026-08-15, version 4.3.1*

So tired of being bombared with pop up ads before I even get the chance to do anything unless I agree to a subscription. You offer a whole three day trial then you will charge me on day 4 which is not even close adequate time to decide if I want to give you as money much as you’re asking. Or.. I can sit and get annoyed with ads from the jump and pop ups before I even color 1/4 of one picture. How about you let me see the merits of your app and so I can decide if it’s worth the fees instead of trying to force annoy me into buying a subscription? There are much better apps out there at this price point. Thanks but no thanks.

### 1/5 — This app tries to force you to pay for no ads to aggressively to bother using

*2026-07-22, version 4.3.0*

Pick a different app there’s lots of them that do Halloween pictures like this and none of them are aggressive with their level of ads how long the ads run and $15 a month to not have ads on some coloring app is insanity. Whoever runs the company that made this app needs to wake up or quit.

### 1/5 — Too many ads

*2026-07-08, version 4.2.4*

Understand it needs to be profitable but far too many ads, even to unblock colours . No pleasure

### 1/5 — Too many come-ons

*2026-04-26, version 4.2.3*

Deleted the app, as I couldn’t even start a picture! Too many “offers” making it too confusing and complex to navigate through.

### 1/5 — Not Free! Forced subscription!

*2026-04-15, version 4.2.2*

I don’t have an issue with pay to color apps. What I do have an issue with is not mentioning it until the app is downloaded 

On top of that you charge more for people that take the free trail, will automatically start charging after the trail ends while still having ads on the bottom

Seriously!

I’m going to cancel my subscription and delete this app without even coloring a single picture

### 1/5 — Charged be for Trial

*2026-04-12, version 4.2.2*

I didn't get a chance to do a trial with this app.  I was charged $76 without even having a chance

### 1/5 — Ads every couple of minutes, seriously! Don’t download!

*2026-04-08, version 4.2.2*

Very limited time for coloring because of all the ads, Absolutely the worst game period for advertisements!

### 1/5 — 'Trop d’annonces.

*2026-03-24, version 4.2.2*

Il y a trop d’annonces et des scènes payantes.

### 1/5 — Classic colour

*2026-03-22, version 4.2.2*

Don’t download this game it’s very very very annoying every one seconds ads coming I download I didn’t complete the first photo I deleted

### 1/5 — GINORMOUS DISAPPOINTMENT

*2026-03-04, version 4.2.1*

After being inundated  by your ads, in other apps, I thought, “Looks like some pretty nice pictures and doesn’t look like there’s a barrage of pushy sales tactics.” Boy, was I wrong!!! Just a HUGE lie. The pics are presented where some shade areas are so minuscule that you have to enlarge to the max and they’re still hard to see. And, of course, steady ad pops to purchase gems.  RIIIGHT! Who can afford$175 a year to hide ads? That’s more than premium movie apps. 
Then we get to the options for free hints…the ads ARE NOT AVAILABLE!!!
I love color apps and have many user friendly I use, but I’m always looking for a possible better one. 
THIS ABSOLUTELY IS NOT!!!😤😤😤

### 5/5 — Fantastic Game

*2026-02-09, version 4.2.1*

Just new here, and enjoying every minute of coloring. Beautiful designs. I’m watching the ads and very patient to finish them, so I can continue the game. Thanks a lot!

### 5/5 — FUN AND COLORFUL!

ENJOYABLE TIME SPENT WELL.

### 5/5 — Coloring

*2025-12-03, version 4.1.8*

Gives me peace of mind

### 5/5 — Can you make it optional landscape me other people like me easy

*2025-11-24, version 4.1.7*

I would like to use your app, but I cannot right now. I tried for a second time it’s hard to me to color having my iPad stand up and down I use my iPad with the stand so I use my iPad. Landscape is easy for me to use when I use other apps color games but if make your app landscape, then I can use your app. I have cerebral palsy so I use my left hand to use my iPad

### 5/5 — Christmas color

*2025-11-04, version 4.1.6*

Great coloring book

### 5/5 — My review

*2025-11-01, version 4.1.5*

It’s so satisfying to watch and great for stress

### 5/5 — Great!

*2025-10-19, version 4.1.5*

A lot of the recent reviews are saying there is a ton of ads when you are coloring, but I colored a lot of images and the max I’ve seen is two. You can go around the colors that are unlocked by ads and save them for the end even if you don’t want to watch ads. A lot of reviews are saying you need to pay to color, but they are just asking you if you want premium to remove ads, and unlock premium images. There is an exit button in the corner, that I guess those people didn’t see. If you want an around the year coloring game just like this, Zen Color is really good. It’s 13+ though, so sorry to the kids who want an app like this.😭
