### 1/5 — Great app but

*2026-06-30, version 1.10.0*

I paid for the version that should unlock all of the pictures. However, it doesn’t. I would easily give it more stars if it worked.

### 1/5 — Charged but no subscription applied

*2025-07-21, version 1.10.0*

Three times this app has taken the money from my bank account and then received a license issue with Apple and no subscription is completed but it shows as a subscription in my account ID. Contacted customer support everytime with no response and no refund! Delete this app or don’t download at all

### 2/5 — Freeze when finish

*2024-08-26, version 1.10.0*

I like coloring the pictures.  There are some problems along the way.  Two problems I have are, (1) there are to many spots with no numbers for colors and the biggest problem is when you are finished you can not save because the  screen will freeze.  The only way you can get back into the program is to clear the page out of the cache.  For this reason I will only give 2 stars.  When the problem is correct I will update my view.

### 1/5 — No account syncing.

*2024-07-24, version 1.10.0*

Can't sync it to any social media accounts. I wish you had that option.

### 5/5 — Yaaaa

*2024-02-20, version 1.9.2*

It is very fun but it shows you whaere the numbers are so it’s not as difficult 😞

### 1/5 — The ads destroy the app

*2024-02-05, version 1.9.2*

So I went through my first painting fine and when I went to go do another. I had to close the app, initially I thought it was weird but blew it off. I tapped on a painting again and it gave me an ad that wouldn’t close.

### 1/5 — Not real

*2024-01-30, version 1.9.2*

App was okay until I tried getting the pro. Once I subscribe I never was able to access the pro. I tried restoring my purchase multiple times and continuously got an error. I have tried signing in and out of my account and still have not received my subscription. I still get many ads and cannot access pro pictures. No subscription perks at all. Money was in fact taken out of my account. I also don’t see why I would have to wait for my subscription to activate, I only have a week, I would’ve loved to start my subscription immediately like all my other subscriptions. I either want my money back or to actually get my subscription.

### 1/5 — Ads

*2024-01-23, version 1.9.2*

The ads on this app wont close causing me to have to close the app.

### 1/5 — Viel zu wenig Bilder

*2023-06-16*

Sehr schade das man nicht noch mehr Möglichkeiten zum ausmalen bekommt

### 5/5 — Painting

*2022-06-27, version 1.9.2*

Good pictures to paint
