Sometimes the game just starts an ad when I haven’t asked for one and both the Harry Potter and CandyCrush ads constantly get stuck. ### 4/5 — Take note that this app has no sound! *2026-09-03, version 1.20.2* To go over more detail, the ads are the only time where sound plays, but not the game itself since it’s so quiet. For the next update, I’d like to suggest to please add sound effects for when you select something or earn an achievement and bonus rewards! This game feels so silent for some players due to the lack of ambience or royalty free/lo-fi music. ### 3/5 — Too many shades of same color *2026-09-03, version 1.20.2* Is as follows: Sometimes 2, maybe even 3 shades of same color are ok, but 6 to 7 colors is uncalled for and makes coloring too difficult to enjoy. ### 3/5 — Bring Back The Old Animation *2026-09-03, version 1.20.2* I've played this app for years and love it but the big pay off was the animation after completing each picture. I would complete the pictures in a certain order with the animation in mind. This has now been changed and is awful compared to how it was previously. Please give us the option to choose between the new and old animation. ### 4/5 — Happy artist *2026-09-03, version 1.20.2* This is the best coloring app I’ve ever found. I especially love being able to do Disney coloring. ### 2/5 — Loved this game… *2026-09-02, version 1.20.2* This is definitely one of if not the best color by numbers games out there. I’m worried about the uptick of AI images I’ve seen on here but I’m hopeful most of them aren’t. But I’ve noticed one change recently that’s really dampened my enjoyment. Now, after you’ve finished a picture and you watch it back, all the colors fade in. It looks horrible, they used to pop in one after another and it was super satisfying. Now they fade in and it looks really gross… I hope there’ll be a toggle in the future to switch between that version and the original version. And I’m not talking about the “animate color fill” feature. It’s when you look back at a finished picture and watch how you colored it. I really miss the way it used to instantly fill all the colors so you could watch them all flow seamlessly one after another. I know it’s weird that something this small ruined the game for me but it’s just not satisfying to color anymore ### 5/5 — Soo good *2026-09-02, version 1.20.2* Is so calm and relaxed that I done a picture in peace ### 3/5 — Lots of choices *2026-09-02, version 1.20.2* I would to give this 5 stars but too many of the pictures have miniscule spots that you can’t find unless you zoom in all the way and systematically search for the missing spot. And even then it’s not always visible and you have to suffer through an ad for each hint you need. I paid for no ads so it’s frustrating to need one to finish a picture. I have quite a few I gave up on because there were too many missing spots. I do like the bright colors and multitude of choices of pictures. ### 3/5 — Paid for no ads…got ads! *2026-09-02, version 1.20.2* I’ve enjoyed this app for many years. I purchased the no ad option, and yesterday, out of no where, ads have started scrolling and popping up, wasting time and making the app frustrating to use with all the silly children’s arcade style apps that I would never want. I tried to delete the app,and re download, but the apps keep popping up. How do I get rid of them! ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-09-02, version 1.20.2* Any ### 5/5 — Far Above The Rest! *2026-09-02, version 1.20.2* The Art section has famous detailed pictures that are fun and beautiful. None of the other apps have anything that comes close. Look forward to seeing the new art and mystery pictures, 2-3 new ones each week. ### 2/5 — There are ads. They lied. *2026-09-02, version 1.20.2* I downloaded this 2 days ago after seeing their ad that said no cost, no ads, no wifi. After less than one day I got my first ad. Today I have had 3 ads already and it is only 10:30 am. More frequent as you go??? If it keeps up I will be deleting. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Ads *2026-09-03, version 1.20.2* Too many ads ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2026-09-03, version 1.20.2* Can’t even color. Too many pop up ads for other games. Waste of time. ### 1/5 — Lost *2026-09-03, version 1.20.2* I lost every thing I did yesterday and the day before ,which is all A The colors under 100. I will look later to see if it fixes itself. ### 1/5 — happy color *2026-09-02, version 1.20.2* It kept freezing on me ### 1/5 — Fix the problem! *2026-09-02, version 1.20.2* This game has great potential.....I’ve played it 2 different times, only to lose both games, entirely. I’ve spent a lot of time coloring over the past couple of years. Yet, after a certain point...accumulating a lot of finished pictures from many different categories....they all disappear. I won’t give it a 3rd try!!! ### 1/5 — Boring *2026-09-02, version 1.20.2* It’s so boring this is why I hate coloring apps ### 1/5 — Zoom and hints *2026-09-02, version 1.20.2* The zoom feature never works. Hit the hint and it gives it to you but when you fill it in, it won’t remove the color. Weird ### 1/5 — New phone loss everything *2026-09-02, version 1.20.2* I transferred my apps to my new phone and loss everything in the app. Starting over from the beginning. Not great ### 1/5 — Does not work. Constant adds *2026-09-01, version 1.20.2* Can’t get the app to load because of adds. Scam. ### 1/5 — Ads have taken over *2026-09-01, version 1.20.2* Used to be my go-to comfort app, but the increasing ads have made it obnoxious and annoying to play ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Enjoying *2026-09-04, version 1.20.2* Relaxing ### 5/5 — Makes me happy and calm *2026-09-04, version 1.20.2* When away from my art studio and on a break I enjoy this app. Also a way to get inspiration for things to do, places to see and much more. I an happy with Happy Color plus a Hallmark card made easy. When sending across the world. 😊 ### 5/5 — Love *2026-09-04, version 1.20.2* I use this app everyday. I throughly enjoy it. There’s something for everyone. ### 5/5 — Fantastic App *2026-09-03, version 1.20.2* Love this app! Spend hours on it at a time and is a daily ritual to log in at least once a day. Other than the interrupted ad breaks, I love this app! ### 5/5 — Love! *2026-09-03, version 1.20.2* Please let the artist(s) that make the crocheted/needle point pics that I get more enjoyment out of them than ANY other pics! Thank you..😊 ### 5/5 — Relax *2026-09-03, version 1.20.2* Great relaxing game with no ads bothering you & interrupting you! ### 5/5 — Too many ADS *2026-09-03, version 1.20.2* Too many commercial ads! Why do we need ads? Get rid of them! ### 5/5 — I NEED REAL PERSON TO CALL 1 (715) 577/3372 *2026-09-03, version 1.20.2* I got messages from someone about needing TO do something on my tablet. Tried but got lost have well over 300 pages done. Need help on update.. MARY LANGELLIER. I live in Eau Claire WI 54701. I’m 81 and I hope someone will call me at the cell phone number listed above! OR TELL ME WHO CAN HELP NOW . Miss very much. ### 5/5 — Great art! *2026-09-02, version 1.20.2* I love that they have used historic art for the Art section. Very fun to interact with masterpieces - and then I go search out the artist and learn a bit of art history along the way. Coloring really connects you to a piece! I wish they would do some of the beautiful stained glass windows from cathedrals as part of the Mosaics. ### 5/5 — I love this app *2026-09-02, version 1.20.2* This app is great and I love it. It is also so relaxing you should try this --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
