The quality is poor. The features are very limiting and don’t compare to the FREE versions you can download. I’VE ASKED FOR A REFUND. ### 1/5 — WANT REFUND! Cannot use, cannot see where to paint *2022-06-30, version 1.1.22* Just like the other review before me, you cannot see the lines and there is no way to paint with the finished item. I WANT A REFUND! ### 1/5 — Terrible *2021-11-14* Even if free, this would be a rip-off. How can the app store sell such rubbish? Very low resolution lines, huge numbers cover the image, the lines are jagged steps, and the colour swatches and colour names are just laid over the image! The “save pdf” function saves two blank images. This is one of the worst paid apps I have seen. **Developer response:** Please use pictures with higher resolution (> 9MP) for higher lines resolution. ### 2/5 — So close *2026-04-22, version 1.1.50* Two issues plague most PBN generators. The first is fidelity of generation, which this app handles wonderfully. The second is export, which this app fails at entirely. The only export options are PDF, with no quality settings, so fidelity is lost and numbers are unreadable, or DAT files that are completely unusable in my graphics workflow. It’s upsetting, how good the converted image looks, only to have it show up as compressed mess when imported into professional graphics apps. A PNG of exactly what I see in the app would work, but instead I wasted $4.99 and an hour of my life. ### 3/5 — One major issue *2023-01-31, version 1.1.27* This is by far the best PBN creator I’ve come across, but when it comes to printing the final picture to paint, you can’t see the very light gray lines to actually paint them. There needs to be a way of darkening those lines for them to be visible in the final picture. It doesn’t matter if they’re dark because we’ll paint over them. I have a high end printer being a designer and no matter what I try nothing came out legible. The developers really needs to address this very important issue. ### 4/5 — Very fun! *2026-03-19, version 1.1.50* This app is fun, relaxing and can help with creative blocks. Putting in your pics and drawings and seeing them in a new dimension ### 4/5 — Presque parfait *2025-06-04* L’appli est vraiment très bien, mais il manque une façon de déterminer quels tableaux ont été terminés, que ce soit avec une coche ou une catégorisation des tableaux en fonction de s’ils sont terminés ou non, sinon à part ça rien à redire ### 4/5 — Sehr gut *2023-08-01* Die App ist Tool und liefert gute Ergebnisse. Mal macht Spaß. Wäre schön das druckbare Template auch mit zahlen zu bekommen, sonst such man sich tot, was die fsrbflächen betriff. ### 4/5 — Decent, Needs More Colors *2023-03-04, version 1.1.27* I’ve been using the free app for a few weeks now, and while the images look great, I wanted more colors. Unfortunately, the difference between 16 and 64 colors isn’t what I thought it would be. The results still aren’t capturing the colors from my photos quite the way I wanted. It’s better than the free version, but not worth the money, in my opinion. The customer service is also terrible. I reached out a few weeks ago to see if they could send an image with 16 versus 64 colors so I could see the difference before I purchased the app, but I never received a response. I wish I could share my images in this review so others knew what they were getting before paying for the upgrade. I can only hope that the ability to create an image with more colors is something they’re working towards and paid users will get that feature unlocked. ### 4/5 — It works but *2021-01-26, version 1.1.11* It does work and it’s decent enough that I’m actually a little impressed with the speed and accuracy of the software. However, while it’s nice to be able to change the color of the lines and numbers there needs to be a way to change the thickness of the lines and size of the numbers. In some areas of heavy transition the lines and numbers just pile on top of each other and there is no way to see what is what. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — My favourite App for many years!👌 *2025-11-29* I looked for an app that would help me with my Urban Sketching. I sometimes have difficulty in selecting the right colours. I came across this app and thought I’d give it a go. The fact that I can select any of my photos and any number of rod colours for that to be translated into a paint by numbers template was an immediate winner for me. I’m pretty much addicted as I find it such a therapeutic time killer as well as a sketching resource. Highly recommended 😉👌 ### 5/5 — Good *2025-11-01, version 1.1.46* I like it but I wish the completed numbers/colors on the scrolling palette would delete when completed 👍🏼. That way it’s easier to find the next number/color the to complete on the piece ### 5/5 — Love this app *2025-06-04, version 1.1.46* I am really loving this app! Thank you! 😊 ### 5/5 — I love this app! please keep it going forever *2025-02-26, version 1.1.43* I love this this app! It is very therapeutic and has helped my attention span, I will always support this app! Thank you for creating it. ### 5/5 — Solid App *2024-09-09, version 1.1.38* It was a very good price and a Color By Number App with no In-App Purchases! When I fill in a number, all of them get filled. ### 5/5 — JUST WHAT I WANTED! *2024-03-23, version 1.1.36* This app is just what I wanted and needed. So easy to paint. Finished product just the same as original photo. Colors are incredibly beautiful. I don’t know what the few nay sayers are complaining about. I happily paid the small price for the upgrade! ### 5/5 — Yaaay! *2023-01-14, version 1.1.27* Plz read this This is something playing games I really love it is so fun there are no annoying ads and the pictures don’t even look painted they look like a real photograph! They look exactly how they started just tiny bit blurred I cannot believe how realistic they are this is better than any paint by number app that where you don’t use your own photo! it’s better than the ones where it has images ready for you that are cartoony because it looks like a photo and the photo is recognizable because it’s your photo plus you don’t have to!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ### 5/5 — Works very well *2022-11-06, version 1.1.27* Helps me a lot ### 5/5 — 给孩子的礼物 *2022-11-05* 给孩子做图，可以用于增进感情，给予交流空间 ### 5/5 — Fun and relaxing *2022-11-04, version 1.1.27* Highly recommended! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
