You stiffed, me not ad free, don’t get all pictures either! Same as when I was doing it free! You do not support your app either! Want a refund.

We get three pictures a day which is not enough, and days we don’t get pictures at all. Maybe it’s time to say byr to this app.😡 Sent from my iPad ### 1/5 — Daniel. Eeckoff *2026-01-01, version 3.2* Baby. Picture. ### 1/5 — Not worth it! *2025-09-19* While I have enjoyed this and the artwork, if you choose the free version, you have to watch ads, to go back to finish a picture you have to watch an ad! A few pics are put up which you aren’t required to watch an ad - but they won’t work when you click on them! I’m at the point now, they are putting up less than one pic a day that isn’t the paid version. So when I finish it - usually same day - I have to wait 2 more days for them to provide another pic! I could purchase the paid version, but I don’t like their tactics of trying to force me into that by not supplying enough “ad only” free pics. Too bad..would have given them a good review otherwise! ### 1/5 — App won’t show partially done pictures *2024-09-10* App won’t show partially done puctures, when I click on colored dot or gray dot above picture categories. Link to Apo support us for a kids app and webpage is VERY hard to read due to lack of contrast. **Developer response:** Hi, You can swipe left to go to the colored page. Thanks! Have fun! ### 1/5 — Only get to use app now if you subscribe *2024-02-11* Never can do any of the free images because ads are never available. It used to be my favorite now it’s just for money ### 1/5 — Subscription did not work can’t access all pics *2021-04-26* Very disappointed **Developer response:** So Sorry. I fixed this bug. Please upgrade to latest version. Thanks! ### 2/5 — Greedy *2026-01-27* The majority of the pictures are locked behind a pay wall. Kind of defeats the purpose of a “relaxing and stress free” coloring game. So easy to put in a different reward system for an alternative way to unlock them, but they chose the money rout instead. ### 2/5 — Saving *2021-11-19* Very good selection of pictures but you can’t save those you complete in your pictures **Developer response:** Hi, Please give me more information and get more support. Email: appbibo@gmail.com Thanks! ### 2/5 — Welp… *2021-07-21, version 2.1* Looks like a fun game, but sadly I can’t get the chance to know. None of the painting options are loading or letting me paint them :( ### 2/5 — Kida great but not so great *2021-06-10* I love that there are so. Many picture but it really defeats the purpose of relaxing when you have to keep pressing the number to put the color in. Stressed me out no if that could be fixed well then i would give it a five otherwise ican only give two. **Developer response:** Hi, email for me to get more support! Thanks!
