Over 60 coloring item , I count 27! Paid the $.99 but that just removed the ads. I gave it four stars because maybe I just don’t know where to find all the wonderful item that were promised. Sorry. ### 4/5 — Good but I have some requests *2021-04-23, version 5.1.6* I really like this game but it could really youse more difficult pages that's it Thanks for this amazing game Love, Choly foxey 😘 ### 3/5 — Ok *2019-06-27, version 5.1.6* Good game good game. ### 4/5 — Interesting *2019-06-09, version 5.1.6* Just downloaded the app, like the setup and hopefully it will help kids during sacrament. ### 1/5 — 👎🏼👎🏼 If You Like Ads & Frustration This App Is For You 👎🏼👎🏼 *2016-07-04, version 5.1.3* 1. Way to many ads in this app. If you don't like advertising this app is not for you...PERIOD!!! 2. This app is almost impossible for an adult (that's me) to use and get any sort of quality results without a ton of FRUSTRATION!!! PERIOD!!! 3. It's NOT kid friendly. It's impossible to pick most colors without ending up in another ad - this goes for adults too. PERIOD!!! 4. Don't waist your time downloading this app. There's no joy unless your kids and you like frustration and lots and lots of advertising. PERIOD!!! 5. Save yourself and your kids.... Just don't get this app!!! PERIOD!!! ### 1/5 — Unusable *2016-06-19, version 5.1.3* Ads are popping up every time I switch screens. Glad I didn't give this to my toddler to just run up a bill. ### 1/5 — Get rid of the ads *2016-06-12, version 5.1.3* The ads are just annoying. I don't see why they're needed. I just deleted the app because of the ads. I will try to find something else. ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2016-05-29, version 5.1.3* Ads kill this app. Way too easy to hit the banner at the bottom and full screen are unacceptable for an app for kids. ### 1/5 — Too ad heavy *2015-10-18, version 3.2.1* To easy for a three or four year old to touch an ad. Ad is for some kind of war game... Not a good LDS app ### 2/5 — What happened? *2015-07-27, version 3.2* This has been my kids favorite coloring app on Sunday's but recently it came unavailable and then it came back and now it's only in Asian characters. We can still color but have no idea what the words mean. ### 1/5 — Too many ads it's worthless for kids *2015-07-12, version 2.18* Tons of ads keep popping up and big across bottom. Don't waste time. ### 1/5 — Not a good app at all *2013-11-10, version 2.18* Kids do not find it very easy to use and made even worse is the advertisements that now pop up. Meetings are a bit ruined when the kids get a pop up leading them to a gambling website! ### 1/5 — Sneaky ads steal money! *2013-08-25, version 2.18* Without asking for the password one of the ads our child touched sent us a text saying we had subscribed for $10 a month and it had already charged our account! We were able to refund but this is ad is just a dirty tactic allowing a child to spend a parent's money unknowingly. App deleted! ### 1/5 — Worthless garbage *2013-08-18, version 2.18* This app is nothing more than a cheap game intended to get kids to inadvertently hit one of the ads and make a purchase. You can't but help clicking on the ads while playing. They have slot ads on the app, so it will let children go to the slot games! Deleted. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Dangerous Ads *2026-06-17, version 5.1.6* The app has long been app supported (and looks to not have been updated in 8 years). An advertiser today led my toddler child to the absolute worst kind of site an LDS parent can imagine. Traumatizing kind of bad. The church has its own free alternative now. We’ve loved and used this for years. And now we’re pleading through a review - don’t trust this app. Don’t let your kids encounter what mine did. ### 1/5 — Math test for parents. Coloring part doesn’t work *2021-02-21, version 5.1.6* Math test for parents. Coloring part doesn’t work ### 1/5 — Not Ready for Primetime *2020-01-19, version 5.1.6* Locked up on opening and could go no further. I simply had to delete the app. I’m sure the answer to these problems will be “the paid version is much better.” ### 1/5 — LDS Color *2019-08-11, version 5.1.6* Too many ads that kids can click and get into all kinds of stuff! We enjoy the other one called LDS coloring book a lot better! ### 1/5 — bearlyAbleToColor *2018-11-25, version 5.1.6* There are way to many adds. I have to print it out in order to even be able to color it.I want to get a new crayon but I have to rate five stars in order to.#Frustration. ### 1/5 — Horrible ad swamped junk *2017-12-10, version 5.1.3* Every other tap send my kids to another page. Can’t navigate through basic menus without being assaulted. My seven year old is fairly tech savvy and had to ask “daddy what is wrong with this app?!” ### 1/5 — Total Crap *2017-06-28, version 5.1.3* Paid for this, then they added ads, now I can't even use it! Should report it as spam, virus software ### 1/5 — Mr. *2017-04-02, version 5.1.3* This app is turrible. Ads will violate you relentlessly. ### 1/5 — Can't even use the app *2017-04-01, version 5.1.3* The ads are in the way. My 3 yr old tried to get new colors but ads just keep popping up instead. I just downloaded it 1 minute ago and already deleting it...there's no point in downloading an app you can't even use. I tried to remove ads, but says I can't. Wish I would have read reviews first. ### 1/5 — Ads are far too aggressive. *2016-07-17, version 5.1.3* In my attempt to remove ads I got an ad 🙄 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Tough but pretty *2021-11-23, version 5.1.6* Little harder to learn for little ones, but pretty when done. ### 5/5 — Good job *2019-12-15, version 5.1.6* Great ### 5/5 — Loved it *2019-03-31, version 5.1.6* This is just awesome! ### 5/5 — Great app *2018-12-08* This is a great app, it helps keep my nieces and nephews quiet and entertained on the sabbath ### 5/5 — Yay *2016-06-26, version 3.2.1* Haven't even played yet. ### 5/5 — Color *2014-05-26, version 2.18* Awesome!!! ### 5/5 — Fun *2013-06-02, version 2.15* Great for kids ### 5/5 — Great for my boys *2013-05-20, version 2.15* My boys love this, and so do I. I wish there were more LDS children's apps to compete with all the apps they want to use. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2013-04-08, version 2.15* Just great for the kids ### 5/5 — Great *2013-04-06, version 2.15* Fun --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
