It’s not fake at all! 😍 ### 3/5 — Help please *2025-05-31* This app is so calming. Love the photos and style. However, I do not see an option where you can hide your completed pics. After you’ve completed so many it’s a lot of scrolling. Please create a hide complete pics option! The my works option isn’t what I’m talking about. The gallery option still shows all your completed pics and you have to constantly scroll to get to a picture that I haven’t done **Developer response:** In the bottom row of buttons, there is a My Work button. After clicking it, there is a toggle button at the top of the page that switches to Unfinished and Completed. ### 5/5 — Art at its best *2025-05-02, version 60* I love this painting program.

The image quality has decreased drastically and has become grotesquely exaggerated cheap slop. Used to love this app but it’s absolutely not worth it anymore. Would not recommend. ### 1/5 — Ads and locked pictures *2025-08-19, version 60* Literally not a single picture you can color for free. ### 1/5 — My Review *2024-11-03, version 56* I would give it 5 stars but there are times I encounter a painting that says no internet connection and when I leave a message it takes forever and the issue is never fixed and I get stuck with a group of 12 that I can’t finish cause one painting is malfunctioning I lost 25,000 gems cause of a no connection problem ### 1/5 — App support and settings *2024-07-13, version 56* Not on Facebook ! How else? Want to turn off the auto highlight of next cell to color! ### 1/5 — Why.. *2024-06-10, version 53* It stopped working after the last update. How can I make it work again? ### 1/5 — App won’t open *2024-06-09, version 53* I was hoping the latest update would fix the issue but the app still won’t open. Whatever you changed is causing issues. Please fix it. ### 1/5 — Commercials *2024-04-21, version 51* NO commercials, I will not pay a subscription with commercials! ### 1/5 — Rip off *2023-12-22, version 49* I paid for this subscription and now I can’t paint due to adds. Rip off to know end ### 1/5 — false advertising *2023-08-19, version 49* I have purchased the subscription to remove the ads, but the ads are still popping up. When I scroll through the content, and click a painting I want to color, I have to watch a long ad first. I will be reporting this to Apple so that I may receive a refund. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Beautiful Paintings *2026-06-19, version 66* It is enjoyable to do while watching tv and to see the beautiful art work at the end.

Other coloring by number apps are drawings with lines you fill in. They’re alright, but this app makes the art jump out at you, looks real like you just painted it. I use this app at night to unwind and relax. With a cup of loose leaf passion flower tea, I’m ready to end my day on a peaceful note. I know you’ll love it! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
