I notice repeated pictures. ### 5/5 — Very nice app *2025-07-31, version 2.8.8* Wonderful pictures. No subscription, just a single purchase at a reasonable price. Great job. ### 4/5 — Love this, except… *2025-07-01, version 2.8.8* This game was great. Super relaxing, no Wi-Fi needed, and not that many ads. However it would always make my iPad crash. I’m not joking. If I got on the app for more than 10 minutes it would freeze for a while and then kick me out, and it got/is extremely annoying. It’s been a couple years and I went back on my iPad to play it, but it’s the same old jig. Please fix this in your next update. Other than that, really enjoyable game 😁. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2025-05-19, version 2.8.8* I just started; seems like it will be an enjoyable app! ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2025-04-20, version 2.8.8* So good So Relaxing Love Colouring Lots Of Different Pictures To Pick From ### 5/5 — Bobby B👍 *2025-04-12, version 2.8.8* Very nice pictures, I like the oil paintings. Very relaxing. I’ve just finished a very colorful Statue of Liberty and it’s pretty awesome! Anyway, I look forward to coloring many more! I highly recommend it to anyone who likes colors! 😃 ### 5/5 — Beautiful *2025-03-01* There are a wide variety of subject matter. The drawings are very detailed. I use an Apple pencil, especially for the small spaces. The time and effort to complete a picture is very worthwhile. The finished picture is usually gorgeous, very bright colors, and a wonderful blending of colors. I recommend this app. (No in-app purchases or annoying ads.) ### 5/5 — WOW! *2024-12-30, version 2.8.7* What an amazing app! I love the oil based look! ### 3/5 — Pictures *2024-09-26, version 2.8.7* I love this app, but I wish there was better pictures ! Every day this is the first coloring app I open and I'm disappointed by the new pics 🙁 ### 5/5 — One of the best *2024-08-22, version 2.8.6* This is a very good colouring app. Very challenging especially as the colours for selecting the numbers are not to bright and blend in with the pictures somewhat . Very good quality graphics. The big plus is that it doesn’t cost much not like a lot of the subscription apps in the store. I’m very happy with it and can recommend it to everyone. ### 5/5 — Beautiful *2024-08-04* There are a wide variety of subject matter. The drawings are very detailed.

Why 600 at all! ### 1/5 — Why *2025-01-17, version 2.8.8* A pop up to restart a drawing that i worked on four hours made me restart while I was going to paint the last one Please remove the button ### 1/5 — Survey *2024-10-31, version 2.8.7* Way too many very small areas. Too labor intensive. Great color coordinations. ### 1/5 — Not crazy about this color book. *2024-10-08, version 2.8.7* This app is pretty easy to maneuver. The numbers are very light so you have to work the picture zoomed out to see what you coloring. I'm not going to keep doing this book. There are too many others. ### 2/5 — Need easier pics, so MANY small spaces *2026-05-20, version 2.9.5* If the tap the number could be made more sensitive that would be great. As of now the number you want to fill in sometimes takes several taps. Thanks for listening ### 2/5 — Need easier pics, so MANY small spaces *2025-12-02, version 2.8.9* If the tap the number could be made more sensitive that would be great. As of now the number you want to fill in sometimes takes several taps. Thanks for listening ### 2/5 — Not enough shading effects *2022-12-18, version 2.7.3* Not enough shading effects ### 2/5 — Deleted it as soon as installed *2020-08-12, version 2.0.0* I can’t stand apps that are supposedly designed for iPads that only display in portrait mode. My iPad is NOT just a big iPhone. Too annoying. ### 3/5 — Need easier pics, so MANY small spaces *2025-05-14* If the tap the number could be made more sensitive that would be great. As of now the number you want to fill in sometimes takes several taps. Thanks for listening ### 3/5 — Change tap feature *2024-11-23* If the tap the number could be made more sensitive that would be great. As of now the number you want to fill in sometimes takes several taps. Thanks for listening ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love this game *2026-07-29, version 2.9.6* The detail and contrast of the selections is fantastic. Great for Seniors like me. It’s fun and relaxing to use. ### 5/5 — Different than most *2026-06-28, version 2.9.5* Liking this coloring app. Format is different than most coloring apps—probably because it is an oil based program. Still have to contend with adds, but that seems to be impossible to get away with unless you pay. Even the adds that say “no annoying adds” lie in that they still have adds. All in all, I was looking for an app that was more challenging, and this one is it. Color blending is beautiful. ### 5/5 — Abstract art *2026-06-24, version 2.9.5* I love it could you please give more of this please and easy stuff please 👍🌸🙏 ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2026-06-18, version 2.9.5* Many of the images are so realistic, especially the food! ### 5/5 — Fabulous App … *2026-06-05, version 2.9.5* I love the complexity of these pictures and I love how beautiful they are when they are completed. BUT, and this is a suggestion to the makers of this colour by number application, please put in a cell shedding option that is dark. Love the pictures would like to do more, but I find the very pale cell shading difficult. Love, love, love. ### 5/5 — Beautiful *2026-03-28, version 2.9.5* There are a wide variety of subject matter. The drawings are very detailed. I use an Apple pencil, especially for the small spaces. The time and effort to complete a picture is very worthwhile. The finished picture is usually gorgeous, very bright colors, and a wonderful blending of colors. I recommend this app. (No in-app purchases or annoying ads.) ### 5/5 — Very Nice *2026-03-11, version 2.9.4* Impressed with ease of use and not filling everything in so fast that I couldn’t actually enjoy myself working on it. 👍 ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-02-27, version 2.9.4* Great app ### 5/5 — Anwendung *2025-10-31* Den Countdown finde ich super. Schöne Bilder. Entspannung pur. ### 5/5 — Coloring App *2025-09-25, version 2.8.9* This is an exceptional app…..pics are beautiful and it’s a relaxing way to spend time…. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
