Why can’t you create some reals car images with decent background (Garages, man cave type backgrounds, racing, or even just colors in the background) for a change??? Also, there are other colors for cars (BLUE, black, gray, etc) OTHER THAN RED!!!!!!! Enough with the RED!!!!! ### 1/5 — Stealing People’s Photos *2026-08-03, version 4.1.0* They’re taking people’s photos and art, and plugging them into ai systems to make coloring pages. Super yucky and disappointing to see, not to mention it’s copyright infringement. Please don’t support them ### 1/5 — Payment *2026-07-31, version 4.1.0* How come says free and then asks for CCard?!?!? ### 1/5 — Shading is way too light *2026-07-11, version 4.1.0* Good pictures, but a struggle to complete because the shading where you’re supposed to color is way too light. Super frustrating. Also when you get a hint to color in the last spot it won’t let you actually color it so so can’t finish the page ### 1/5 — Too Many Ads *2026-06-29, version 4.0.8* Compared to similar apps this one has way to many advertisements/ad breaks. Ruins the relaxation/rhythm/concentration. ### 1/5 — It never work *2026-06-25, version 4.0.8* It never work when you press on the picture so u should mot put this up it a scam ### 1/5 — AI use *2026-06-24, version 4.0.8* The use of AI images in a colour by number app is not right. For an app that is supposed to encourage creativity why generate images using AI. I’m extremely disappointed ### 1/5 — Latest update is awful *2026-06-12, version 4.0.8* They’ve rebranded it as relaxation app and frankly it doesn’t cut it. My in progress pictures have all been moved. I’ll try it for one week; if there is no way to change it back I’ll delete it from all my devices. ### 1/5 — Great but….. *2026-04-17, version 4.0.6* All is fine and good until you reach 100 pictures. Then you have to watch an ad before and after you color. At 120 colors go missing. You will have white spots in your picture that say they are number— but the color isn’t there. Thought it was a fluke but after 6 of them there wasn’t any doubt. ### 1/5 — Can’t find wolf *2026-04-09, version 4.0.6* Can’t find the wolf ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Coloring *2026-09-01, version 4.1.1* Don’t like it when it shows how you coloured the image ### 5/5 — Paint.ly: Color by Number *2026-09-01, version 4.1.1* Really love this app!! ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2026-08-31, version 4.1.1* Very good ### 5/5 — Love Online Coloring *2026-08-31, version 4.1.1* Relaxing n no mess of actual color pens to use…just tap to a beautiful pic❗️ ### 5/5 — Soooo good *2026-08-31, version 4.1.1* This app is very good there are not to many adds and it is so fun for art lovers like me. The game is basically a painting game, there are soooooo many choses to choose from I would really recommend this calming game ### 5/5 — Painting *2026-08-30, version 4.1.1* Enjoy relaxing Super Just try ### 5/5 — Paint.ly: Color By *2026-08-30, version 4.1.1* Love the Number ❤️❤️❤️ ### 5/5 — A great time filler *2026-08-30, version 4.1.1* Absorbing, and quite good at occupying time if you half an hour to fill. ### 5/5 — Paint ivy:: *2026-08-29, version 4.1.1* Love this color by number app ### 5/5 — Review 1st painting *2026-08-29, version 4.1.1* The painting process was great for my meditation session. The music excellent. I was able to focus, relax and guide my intentions on the person I wanted to send this painting to.
