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. ### 3/5 — Videos *2022-04-07, version 1.8.27* Why can’t I get pictures that says play for videos it doesn’t work thinking of coming off ### 4/5 — People of Color *2021-12-31, version 1.8.27* There are a lot of great pieces but need more people of color ### 3/5 — Ads *2021-10-30* To much ads ### 2/5 — Nope *2021-07-14, version 1.8.20* I don’t like there pictures ### 3/5 — Good art with smooth flow. *2021-06-13, version 1.8.18* Slow to startup, every time I have to load it twice to get it working because it is so slow to load. The art is great along with the smoothness of play. ### 3/5 — Not Many Pictures Of Black People *2021-05-15, version 1.8.17* You advertise pictures of black people, but there is hardly any on here. Please get more pictures of black people. Thanks, other than that, I like it peer good. ### 3/5 — Can’t finish a picture!!! *2021-05-04, version 1.8.17* My chief complaint with this app is that every single time I complete a picture, I have to go through the same process, leave the the app, close the app, restart the app, just to color another picture! This is too bad because I do find some of their “special”pictures cute, other than that their pictures are nothing exceptional but neither are most apps. ### 2/5 — Not Satisfied *2021-04-20, version 1.8.17* Downloaded this app because I seen a couple pictures that caught my eye and I thought it had it in the app to paint well come to find out it didn’t have those pictures at all....... very disappointed with it ### 4/5 — Ms. Layne *2021-04-13, version 1.8.17* I love painting but my eye sight is not as good as it once was, even with new bifocals. Sometimes the number are just too small. It would be nice if all were easy to read. All in all, I just love it.I truly love architect and country living. Log homes, quilts, Old tools, rocking chairs, etc. I wish you had move if this. Thank you. ### 2/5 — Halt *2021-04-03, version 1.8.17* This app just keeps freezing up, I like the app if it wouldn’t freeze all the time! ### 5/5 — Color I Love to color on this color page *2021-03-31, version 1.8.16* I love to color on this I ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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 ### 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. ### 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 ### 1/5 — Paintist *2021-05-03, version 1.8.17* Too many adverts in between finishing a picture before starting to colour the next one.One advert is enough. ### 1/5 — Has Issues *2021-03-02, version 1.8.14* Can’t go back or go to header to select next picture. Have to leave application wait and come into get new picture. Would like to have option to go landscape. ### 1/5 — False Advertisement!! *2021-02-11, version 1.8.11* False ad of your app, have deleted. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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 😞 ### 5/5 — Painting *2022-06-27, version 1.9.2* Good pictures to paint ### 5/5 — Fun *2021-07-20, version 1.8.23* Entertaining ### 5/5 — Fun *2021-06-25, version 1.8.18* Love y’all bunches and pictures ### 5/5 — Artist mania *2021-06-18, version 1.8.18* Remove the watermarks please ### 5/5 — Review *2021-06-03, version 1.8.18* I love the Christmas pics and snow scenes.
