### 3/5 — Bad

*2025-01-07, version 3.1.0*

This game had so many great coloring photos! Until the whole app crashed😑. Every time I try to open it, it just keeps loading and gives me a ton of ads. I loved coloring the pictures before, but now it won’t even let me into the app:(

### 1/5 — Went from great to not

*2024-12-11, version 3.1.0*

I loved this app but all of a sudden the new pictures stopped and then the app just won’t load at all. I go to the website and it appears to be down as well. Kind of really lame. This used to be a fun coloring book.

### 1/5 — WON’T EVEN OPEN

*2024-12-03, version 3.1.0*

I’ve closed and reopened the app at least 5 times, never got past the title. Got an ad once though, that sure slipped through!! don’t get it unless they fix

### 2/5 — App não abre

*2024-12-01, version 3.1.0*

O app simplesmente não abre, fica carregando e não sai disso.

### 1/5 — App fails to load

*2024-11-25, version 3.1.0*

If it was possible I would rate this app zero stars.  App won’t load and all I get is continuous ads even though I have paid for no ads.   Seems to be an ongoing issue.

### 4/5 — Happy Canvas

*2024-11-17, version 3.1.0*

It was a great app until it got updated and now it’s taking forever to install. Hopefully it can be fixed to make it faster. Other than speed, in terms of loading it’s still quite good

### 1/5 — Mehr Werbung als malen

*2024-10-21*

Als erstes kamen 3 Werbungen hintereinander, dann 3 Werbungen während des malens, dann hab ich aufgegeben. Mehr Werbung hat wohl nicht mehr gepasst.

**Developer response:** Wir müssen Werbung einblenden, um die App weiter zu verbessern und die Entwicklungskosten zu decken, obwohl wir in Betracht ziehen, die Art der Anzeige zu ändern, wenn sie zu sehr ablenkt. Außerdem würden wir uns sehr über eine bessere Bewertung freuen.

### 1/5 — Takes so loooong

*2024-10-05, version 3.1.0*

Guys why is it taking so long to load??

### 2/5 — Used to enjoy

*2024-09-29, version 3.1.0*

Haven’t been able to open in a while. Just sits on the logo screen, trying to load. I don’t want to delete, because I don’t want to lose all the pics I’ve done.

### 1/5 — Game abandoned?

*2024-09-27, version 3.1.0*

Game refuses to open and their Facebook page hasn’t posted anything new in months.

### 1/5 — Sooooo long!

*2024-09-24, version 3.1.0*

When I enter the game it always takes forever to load!

### 1/5 — No longer works

*2024-09-06, version 3.1.0*

I used to greatly enjoy this app, it had such a variety of canvases and themes to color. But now the only thing that loads are ads which is really a shame. Honestly at this point I’ll endure the ads if the app will just open and load and allow me to ACTUALLY color. Had this been when it still worked this would have been a 4/5 or maybe even a 5/5. But now I can only go as low as 1/5 and wishing Ali could go lower, which again it is a real shame.

### 1/5 — No longer works properly

*2024-09-02, version 3.1.0*

Doesn’t load right, won’t sync after reuploading. Don’t bother with this one.

### 1/5 — 걍안됨

### 4/5 — 하고싶다

*2024-08-09*

이거 진짜 재밌는데 폰바꾸고나서 안됨 ㅠㅠ무한로딩…진짜 개선해줘요ㅠ

### 1/5 — What's gone wrong"

*2024-08-02, version 3.1.0*

The last two times I've tried to use your app, it tries and tries and tries to load but won't load. Tonight I tried again because I did enjoy it at times, it gave me an ad and every time I hit the X2 delete it it popped up again with another picture of the same ad four times or maybe five I lost count, and then the last time I hit the ex it popped up with another ad of a different game. All this time it was trying to load the picture switch it never did. It would be a five star gameto me if I could just ever get it again.

### 1/5 — Takes tooooooooooooooooooooolong to load

*2025-09-21, version 3.1.2*

Ads are ridiculously long and the pic too long to load

### 1/5 — Extreme amount of ads

*2025-09-13, version 3.1.2*

Ads shoved down your throat every 10 seconds. I payed to remove ads and still getting a ton….will be getting a refund

### 1/5 — Broken

*2025-08-13, version 3.1.2*

Stuck on start up loading screen

### 1/5 — Used to be good

*2025-07-25, version 3.1.2*

Ads before the home screen? Used to be good but now nothing but ads. Better coloring games out there. Ones that aren’t overrun with ads.

### 1/5 — Not good

*2025-06-25, version 3.1.2*

I had to update it but it wouldn’t let me 😤😠

### 1/5 — Broken, does not load

*2025-03-02, version 3.1.0*

This was one of my favourite colouring apps but unfortunately it does not load anymore. Only the ads load, can’t even get past the loading title screen. Have tried all manners of troubleshooting. Would re-download if it gets fixed but it seems to have been abandoned. It was worthy a good review when it was functional.

### 1/5 — Won’t open

*2025-02-27, version 3.1.0*

It won’t even open. It just stays on the loading screen.

### 1/5 — App Won’t Work!

*2025-02-27, version 3.1.0*

I loved this app and spent many hours coloring the beautiful images. The app hasn’t worked for a very long time now. Do not download - it’s broken! This should be removed from the App Store! I’m so disappointed.

### 1/5 — App still isn’t working

*2025-01-30, version 3.1.0*

Just shows a loading screen and ads. How convenient the ads still work but not the actual game.

### 1/5 — 개구려욤

*2025-01-27*

로딩창만뜨고 광고만나오고 색칠은 못해봣네용ㅜ개별로에요

*2024-07-16*

진짜 최악의 게임입니다. 로딩만 하루종일 되요

광고제거비용까지 주고 샀는데 게임이 안됩니다.. 개선해주시던지 환불해주세요

### 5/5 — Fun

*2023-07-14, version 2.9.4*

Fun but has ads

### 5/5 — The best coloring game

*2023-03-31, version 2.9.0*

Listen, I am ten years old, but this is the best game ever. You have to try this game out right now and parents who have to check reviews before you get the game for your kid (my mom does that) just get the game.

### 5/5 — Donte

*2023-03-24, version 2.9.0*

It’s a good game however when I color a picture it’s not allowing me to color the whole picture and some of the animals and people are black faces on them that I can’t color on them

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2022-10-06*

I love the question mark canvas. They are so much fun and I love to see if I guessed correctly on what the painting is. I also like the fact that after I have finished a color—— it automatically goes to the next color and I don’t spend 10 minutes looking for the color I had been working on. Now, I know you can say just look down at the color graph—— but at my age (70******) you can easily forget. I have several of my of my more mature friends (old) that I have introduced to your app. They love it also!

### 5/5 — Great app but just one small thing…

*2022-04-30*

Hi! Basically, I’ve had this app for a while now and I gotta say, ur pictures are amazing,  colors match the pictures perfectly, and your creativity is spot on! However, there is only one small thing that kind if annoys me. Its just the fact that whenever u are filling in the spaces with color, u highlighted them in gray. This makes it really hard to find those spots and hard to color them in to finish the picture. Other than that, no complaints. Over all, this is the best coloring app I’ve ever had. I can tell u put lot of effort into this app. Many people complain about not being able to listen to music. Guys, its fine! Just play music on another device if u can. If u cant, I totally understand.  Anyways, thanks for making a great game! 

Leah🤪❤️

**Developer response:** Hi, thank you for the positive review! Our team is happy that you enjoy Happy Canvas! You can change area highlight in the game settings :) By the way, we fixed the problem connected with listening to the music while coloring!
