Manque un petit peu de diversité à la longue à mon goût ### 4/5 — INSPIRING *2026-05-06, version 4.0.1* I have been using this app every single day for at least 10 years . No other colouring app comes close . Only negative is nobody replies to my feedback . ### 3/5 — Très bonne application *2026-01-17* Mais depuis la dernière mise à jour iOS sur mon iPad en format horizontal le dessin apparaît petit sur l’écran. Certainement quelque chose de facile à régler. ### 3/5 — Hard *2025-11-02, version 3.7.7* To paint and color with ads flashing and blinking the whole time ### 3/5 — Repetitive! *2025-10-10, version 3.7.7* I have used this app for a long time now and I have found that Photos marked as new are not new. I find when I finish a picture I often find I had coloured it a long time ago. Another thing is the number of colours, How many shades are needed, often finding loads of different ones with no discernible difference between them. ### 3/5 — My Fav *2025-09-22, version 3.7.7* I love this app. Very relaxing and enjoyable Sept 2025 - I paid for new pictures every day but it’s weeks and weeks between getting new pictures. Very disappointing. ### 5/5 — Love It *2025-01-26, version 3.7.5* Love this app and recommend it. ### 3/5 — Disappointed *2025-01-15, version 3.7.4* There were no Halloween pictures this year and very few winter/holiday and you’re recycling old pictures. Very disappointing. ### 3/5 — To many adds you have to watch an add before and after you do a painting *2024-12-21, version 3.7.4* Not worth the time to many adds you have to watch before and after you da a painting ### 5/5 — So detailed *2024-12-18, version 3.7.4* I love that the pictures are so very detailed. It takes me much longer. So much fun. ### 5/5 — Numérotation *2024-11-05, version 3.7.3* Dommage que vous ayez changé la nouvelle couleur pour les numéros, c’est à dire noir et blanc au lieu de bleu et blanc comme dernièrement mamy suze ### 5/5 — Photo by number *2024-11-05, version 3.7.3* After this latest update, when I try to open “My Work” , it closes the app, and goes back to my home page. Could you please fix this. Thank you ### 5/5 — Challenging *2024-11-01, version 3.7.1* Turns out they are good pictures and very challenging to plan on a lot of hours to complete one. ### 3/5 — Nice color pops😀 *2024-10-12, version 3.7.1* I enjoyed the Autumn colors in this picture - just wish there coulda been more. ### 2/5 — Repetition *2024-10-08, version 3.7.1* You repeat pictures, already done. WHY DO YOU REPEAT PICTURES ALL OVER AGAIN??? ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — INSPIRING *2026-05-21, version 4.0.1* I have been using this app every single day for at least 10 years . No other colouring app comes close . Only negative is nobody replies to my feedback . If I spent money on the app I might get a response ! ### 1/5 — Nice paintings *2025-03-22, version 3.7.5* Way too many ads and-repetitive ads even when the screen locks I get back on it and more ads! Terrible. Apple Your terrible ### 1/5 — Stuck on ad *2024-09-21, version 3.7.1* This app is infuriating. It gets stuck on an ad screen repeatedly and you have to force close the app and restart to get out of the ad. ### 1/5 — Publicité abusive *2024-07-28* La publicité sur la belote est très abusive, ce personnage ne disparaît JAMAIS , juste sur photo coloriage . C’est juste ÉNORME… ### 1/5 — Changed *2024-05-06, version 3.7.1* Used to use black to correspond to numbers to color. Now it’s a bluish color and so much harder to do and see. Took the fun out for me. Gives me a headache now. Why change this? Sigh. ### 1/5 — Messed up colors *2024-03-31, version 3.7.1* You post some awesome pictures, I don’t know who or how you select the colors. The world is not full of rainbow color everything. Lay off of the rainbow mix, use some real colors. ### 1/5 — L’application ne fonctionne plus ! *2023-08-09, version 3.6.0* L’application ne fonctionne plus depuis le 1er août ! J’ai essayé le par tous les moyens pour l’activer et rien à faire ! Pourtant, j’ai payé le forfait Premium ! Très décevant ! Cette application que j’aimais tant, ne mérite plus ses 5 étoiles Je devais en mettre une pour pouvoir rédiger un avis. ☹️ ### 1/5 — Picture quality and colors changed *2023-06-19, version 3.5.0* I loved this app until recently. It changed from mostly realistic pictures/photographs with some fantasy, to almost all fantasy with odd colors. Animals and birds used to look real, but now have weird colors or look like they’re splattered with paint. Fantasy houses used to be cute, but now have weird colors. They added a recenter icon to the bottom right which is unnecessary and blocks painting. The app is named “photo” but they hardly ever have photos anymore. Pictures aren’t fun to paint anymore. ### 1/5 — I like it *2023-04-06, version 3.5.0* I don’t know how to Mack a acount without signing in ### 1/5 — Overly complicated *2022-01-30, version 2.7.1* This game is great advert for happy colour, it’s a much better game. Too much detail makes this game take forever and it’s too hard and no fun. You lose interest after 5 minutes of searching for a tiny spec of colour that doesn’t even belong where it goes. Why would there be blue on a tiger for example… rubbish game. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Paint by color *2026-05-17, version 4.0.1* Love to color by number. Love it ### 5/5 — Confusing at first! *2026-02-05, version 3.7.8* I was absolutely thrilled when I finished the last numbers!!! ### 5/5 — 95% great *2025-11-20, version 3.7.7* I’ve finished photos & left a comment on them only to find the photos reverted back to about 13% completion the next time I open the app. Now this is happening on the Christmas version of the app, too. Please tell me what I’m doing wrong so I can prevent this in the future. Otherwise, I love the app. ### 5/5 — My Fav *2025-08-10, version 3.7.5* I love this app. Very relaxing and enjoyable ### 5/5 — Hats off to the developers! *2025-06-04, version 3.7.5* First off, the most stunning realistic pics of any color app I’ve tried! Next, this app is VERY responsive to touch. Some I tried take tapping multiple times to get it to color. I love that it auto populates the next color instead of me having to do it manually. I like a challenge, so I do the hard ones. They have like 800 colors! WOW Haven’t tried the regular ones yet. There are some ads, but not as long as some similar apps I’ve used. All and all, I love this app! ### 5/5 — new pictures *2025-03-27, version 3.7.5* how about putting some new pictures like vases, frogs, chairs to color ### 5/5 — Relaxing *2025-03-21, version 3.7.5* Fun and relaxing ### 5/5 — Mesmerizing *2025-03-08, version 3.7.5* Calms my mind and it allows me to create pretty pictures. The colors are beautiful! ### 5/5 — Amazing *2025-02-24, version 3.7.5* Love working on this everyday. ### 5/5 — Coloring *2025-02-23, version 3.7.5* Such a great coloring app! The Best. I only do the challenging ones.i love your app. The best! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
