### 2/5 — Difficult

*2026-09-07, version 4.31.1*

No easy

### 4/5 — Most relaxing app ever

*2026-09-07, version 4.31.1*

I love this game so much

### 2/5 — Good app

*2026-09-05, version 4.31.1*

This is a great app except for the fact that you have to pay for most of the things, and when you just want a coloring app that doesn’t have to be costly. You can only do a few coloring pages in total, please fix.

### 2/5 — There are a lot….

*2026-09-02, version 4.31.1*

And I mean A LOT of really, really, really ugly pictures. There are ones I wish I could hide since I’ll never color them. Idk the process for artists to have their work on here, but it really wouldn’t hurt to branch out and find new artists and other art styles.

I decided to pay for the subscription, but the color palettes need a massive overhaul. 

They’re boring. Sure, yeah, we can pick other colors, but the pre-created palettes need additions. There should be palettes for each season and holiday (that don’t disappear). More pastels, neons, and monochromatic palettes would be great.

### 2/5 — For Adults???

*2026-08-20, version 4.31.0*

Sorry, but this is coloring book for children and young girls. I don’t even think most adult women would find the art interesting enough. Way too cutesy, which is really boring and repetitive. Would happily give as gift subscription for my family members who are children.

### 3/5 — Best coloring book in the world

*2026-08-18, version 4.30.0*

I like it because you get to smudge stuff and import it and make your own drawing and you get to color inside the lines

### 2/5 — Good but …meh

*2026-08-11, version 4.30.0*

I like it but if you don’t subscribe you don’t get a lot…

### 2/5 — Not for me

*2026-08-02, version 4.30.0*

￼ I’d say that it’s pretty decent but just to unlock some color pallet where you can pick different colors like mixed colors like you want me to play pay 9.99 to play a game every week I think or month like what are you doing? But if you can work with simple colors, then this game is for you if you don’t have no money to spend.

### 4/5 — Color art

*2026-07-30, version 4.29.0*

I don’t like how you haveto pay to get full access to all of the pictures

### 4/5 — Lake coloring

*2026-07-30, version 4.29.0*

This game is pretty good, I will say that if you don’t pay then you actually get to do a good amount of coloring on the app. Pretty good, recommend for newer artists.

### 2/5 — Eris poin of view

*2026-07-29, version 4.29.0*

I like this but you have to pay….. for the brushes paint and even the drawings I wish it was free if it was that would be amazing so I hope that they will change that but other than that it’s cool

### 5/5 — ' Won

*2026-07-21, version 4.28.0*

Case won

### 3/5 — It’s ok

*2026-07-20, version 4.28.0*

It’s normal and ordinary but still relaxing

### 3/5 — Does everything have to be membership?

*2026-07-18, version 4.28.0*

The membership for new pictures or tools seems like a little much. You already have to pay for the app itself. I understand having the membership is beneficial to the company, however limiting practically everything to membership and having the same free pictures doesn’t seem fair. Other than that I’ve really enjoyed the app for the time that I’ve been using it.

### 4/5 — do not like the update

*2026-07-15, version 4.27.3*

the wheel has this pixel thing and it is not making my colours how i want to have it since all the colours are just to light and i am getting  annoyed of it.

### 4/5 — Needs more coloring sheets

*2026-07-13, version 4.27.3*

I’ve had this app for over a year and the biggest downside is that there seems to be no new options so it gets repetitive.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Dislike this apps pictures

*2026-09-05, version 4.31.1*

Do not care for any of these sketches styles , prefer Oakever coloring apps.

### 1/5 — What the hell is this!?!

*2026-08-17, version 4.30.0*

Well first of all I had this for over 5 years already all of the updates were amazing except for this TERRIBLE ONE its absolutely insane that now everything I drew is now locked cause I have to by it!? And now I gotta by 29 dollars each year?! What is wrong with this!? Everything used to be free now EVERYTHING IS LOCKED AND LOST OF PROGRESS JUST UNTIL WE BUY IT!? I used to recommend this app but now… Do not get it for your child unless you want to be poor

### 1/5 — Money

*2026-07-26, version 4.28.0*

I got this game thinking that you’d have some free stuff that I would like but nooooooooo it cost money and I’m just don’t pay money for apps please make more stuff free.

### 1/5 — Not very interesting!

*2026-07-19, version 4.28.0*

I think a coloring book is way more interesting and fun than this app.

### 1/5 — Wtf

*2026-07-13, version 4.27.3*

So to anyone thinking of downloading this app while not wanting to pay. Just know that there is only 19 free pictures. I don’t recommend this app. Everything is expensive right now so I cannot afford to pay for games or anything so to have nearly every picture locked behind a paywall is frustrating and actually quiet disheartening for me since every app I’ve gone too has had some sort of paywall.

### 1/5 — Pay to Color

*2026-07-12, version 4.27.3*

It made me waste my time answering questions and claiming to help with stress. It gave me stress to realize that after all that time I HAVE TO PAY TO EVEN TRY ONE. I AM MORE STRESSED THAN BEFORE.

### 1/5 — 這些App都是用來幹嘛的

*2026-07-11, version 4.27.3*

這些App都是用來幹嘛的

### 1/5 — Not paying $40 to color

*2026-07-10, version 4.27.3*

Dog I am not paying $40 a year for some coloring pages

### 1/5 — Paid Subscription to Not Have Any Access

*2026-07-10, version 4.27.3*

In order to have access to the pages and brushes to color, you must a pay a monthly or yearly subscription. I paid the monthly subscription to still only have access to a few of the pages as they do not load or allow to color on them even after paying money. Please BEWARE as you may pay a high price for nothing.

### 1/5 — Hate that it requires subscription

*2026-06-28, version 4.27.0*

I am getting tired of every company trying to block all content behind subscriptions. This app is a big NOPE from me!

### 5/5 — App updates, more features and fix crashes and buffs

*2026-09-06, version 4.31.1*

Love this app but for the price I wish it had more brush features and also always crashes and won’t let me upload a photo to color on. Definitely feel like a needed update is due. Please help make the app better 👩🏿‍🎤

### 5/5 — I love it

*2026-08-31, version 4.31.1*

I love it, it’s so simple cool and awesome. But I think you guys should change the title from Lake coloring book for adults to a lake coloring book. I’m a teen and I don’t think the for Adults part is necessary.

### 5/5 — vvv

*2026-08-24, version 4.31.0*

h g h henfgnrg rwvdh t th bt

### 5/5 — Love love love!!!

*2026-08-23, version 4.31.0*

I recently got this app and may I saw it is the best app I have! I love the fact that you can see the artists profile! Don’t get me started on how you can color in the lines. You DO HAVE TO PAY something around 40 dollars a year but it is worth it!!!!

### 5/5 — Eliza love

*2026-08-14, version 4.30.0*

It really calms me done I love to draw now and it just inspired me to  draw and continue my drawing

### 5/5 — Love this!!!!

*2026-08-13, version 4.30.0*

This coloring app really rapped my attention and I was working on it all day it is such a  relaxing game you should get it if you have trouble sleeping.

### 5/5 — The best coloring app!

*2026-08-04, version 4.30.0*

I downloaded over 20 coloring apps and Lake is BY FAR the best one.I also love that there is a coloring journal and blank pages.There are also coloring/technique tutorials to help you make your art pop! I would love to see a few more brushes/tools added to help with textures like hair or fluffiness. I’m so happy with the app for the amount I paid! I do the coloring journal daily and so does my daughter!

### 5/5 — It’s relaxing

*2026-08-01, version 4.30.0*

It so good u should try it

### 5/5 — Hii download lake

*2026-07-27, version 4.28.0*

That girll

### 5/5 — No AI pictures!

*2026-07-27, version 4.28.0*

I’ll happily pay the yearly subscription if it means I’m supporting real artists and not AI junk
