### 1/5 — Limited AI

*2026-06-16*

I have the paid version and am told I need a paid version to use more AI. I tried to email but the email doesn’t work. Very frustrating.

### 4/5 — Доработайте

*2025-12-09*

Хотелось бы добавить:
1) отмеченные цвета на цифре раскраски, которые зафиксировались, можно открепить и посмотреть снова где раскрасить номер цвета.
2) изменить рисунок раскраски и сделать (преобразовать) в более крупный (квадратным или овальным мазкам крупной кисти) и не линейный и не смешивать линии между собой, чтоб не было путаницы
3) цвета преобразовываются в темные (грязные) не сохраняется яркость цвета.   
А вообще приложение нужное , просто доработать и станет  крутым! ))

### 1/5 — Yeah no

*2025-09-05*

So, I wanted to make coloring pages for kids I see and make them color by coping skills. The free version is garbage. All of the blocks are the same number. No way to change numbers. At least that I e found. No instructions on it. I went to reviews for help and nothing. I’ll stick with hand drawing I guess.

### 5/5 — This must be using advanced color theory

*2025-07-13*

This app is free and amazing. You can import any photo you want and it instantly converts it to a PBN of various sizes and resolutions. You’ll probably want to choose a high resolution because sometimes the color lines get very close together if you’re using a photo. It caps out at 16 colors, which seems to be enough in the PBN world. Most projects compromise sharpness in any app, but that seems to be the point. If you’re looking for an app that can keep busy for hours with any photo you want, this is it. You’ll be amazed at how your eyes can fool into seeing natural colors derived from some almost bizarre color combinations. I recommend that you import the canvas into any other drawing app since this app will auto-complete your drawings and leave you with little work to do.

### 1/5 — DON’T DOWNLOAD THIS APP!!!

*2023-09-15*

If I could give this app a lower rating, I definitely would!! It doesn’t necessarily bother me that you have to pay for literally everything if you want this to be a good app- oh wait, yes it does. I understand they have to make money somehow, but regardless, there should be a warning list of aaaaalllllllll the things you can’t even do. Two things that really miffed me, was that you can only choose up to 16 colors unless you pay, then the photo you choose becomes crap. I tried to choose 64 colors and it just said “You have to pay for that. Returning to 16 colors.” Okay. Waste of my time. Then, instead of actually having the fun challenge of hunting the assigned color blotches, you click on one then BAM! All the other blotches of that color are filled in automatically. May I also add how inaccurate the colors are to the original photo. I do not recommend this app, unless you’re dead set on wasting time and money

### 5/5 — Paint by number

*2023-06-26*

This app is wonderful

### 5/5 — Fun to use my own photos!

*2022-11-13*

I love the break down of an image into color “chunks”.  I’ve been looking for an app like this that could use you own photos. Not only can you fill the numbered color fields in virtually, but also the image can be printed so one can physically color them in on paper using any art supplies imaginable. Thank You!
