Change the approval back the way it was and I ill buy coins. ### 4/5 — Great but…. *2026-04-12, version 2.0.10* I love this app, I don’t need Wi-Fi, I can create my own pictures, but I don’t like how when you accidentally go out of the lines, it like stops, you can’t keep coloring unless you lift up,your finger and restart, I don’t like that. ### 2/5 — It keep saying something has expired *2026-03-12, version 2.0.10* It keep saying something has expired!!! ### 2/5 — Куча рекламы *2026-02-23* Каждые две минуты вылезает реклама. Раскрашиваешь - реклама. Долго лазил в меню и выбрал картинку - реклама. Слишком много её ### 4/5 — Awesome buuut………………… *2026-02-17, version 2.0.10* It’s cool but I don’t like how completing a thing that took me 10 minutes I just get 30 coins I just don’t like the coin system ### 3/5 — Forever *2025-10-20, version 2.0.8* This game is ok it takes forever to finish a drawing and even longer to get money for paintings if you could fix that then that would be great ### 4/5 — Fun app with no subscriptions, needs bux fixes and UI update *2025-10-13, version 2.0.7* This app has been a refreshing change from most others like it as there is no subscription based ad free or subscription only options like a lot of these apps have. The main problem I had with it was that the UI doesn’t fill the entire screen on an iPhone that has a notch or Dynamic Island. The screenshots show the app doing so but the app does not fill the screen this way an instead defaults to a legacy mode that leaves the top and bottom areas of the screen empty to simulate what it would look like on a pre iPhone X. ### 3/5 — keeps crashing *2025-09-30, version 1.4.1* every time i open the app it keep kicking me out idk why ### 5/5 — Yes yes yes yes 😍😍😍💖💝 *2025-09-27, version 1.4.1* Just yes so good amaaaaaazinggg!!!!!⭐️⭐️💞💞💝💝 ### 4/5 — .great *2025-09-13, version 1.4.1* Good but you can't go over different numbers ### 5/5 — 10/10 would reccomend *2025-08-23, version 1.4.1* This game is amazing it is so fun ### 2/5 — Gone down hill *2025-08-19, version 1.4.1* I’ve been using this app for awhile now, almost 5 years. It used to be really good till they started using AI for their pictures. It’s just not good. I don’t like AI art, and I wish they’d go back to either using real art or just pixelated images. I’d rather draw a pixelated pile of dirt than ever do an AI one. I really hope you guys stop sometime soon. This app used to be something I loved. ### 4/5 — No glitter ✨ *2025-08-03, version 1.4.1* I’m very mad about that ### 5/5 — Jelly *2025-07-17, version 1.4.1* This has got to be the best pixel coloring site I’ve been on. So very enjoyable. Thank you. ### 3/5 — Love the app but it is not stable *2025-06-13, version 1.4.1* This app frequently crashes while playing it. I absolutely love it and wish it could get fixed. I’ve downloaded it twice and it has always happened. It is even worse with my iPhone 16. Please update the app!! ### 5/5 — No subs, no flubs (except yourself) *2025-06-03, version 1.4.1* Lots of packages, many topics, good for all ages, good for relaxing, purchases are within the app so that means you get the coins it’s a fully free app! The best thing is your zoom feature is so large you can find#’s easily. I found only one flaw if you get a package like mystery or from a series put the names of your packages with the numbers (like fun mix 3). It makes looking up the designs up easier when you’re shopping for new designs. Like a “shelf” or inventory written somewhere in your menu. Lately, the glitches, crashes & even loading “in progress” freezes. Sometimes 3-5 times to stabilize & load. (March 2025) Ads are freezing up loading the app after getting coins or while working on the picture then crashing in particular “vita mahjong”. (June 2025). Here’s another glitch. reward granted” isn’t showing up so you can go back to doing artwork. That crashed even the next day didn’t refresh. A different ad froze the play. That’s 1 session out of 3 crashed in the beginning. ### 5/5 — No subs, no flubs (except yourself) *2025-06-01* Lots of packages, many topics, good for all ages, good for relaxing, purchases are within the app so that means you get the coins it’s a fully free app!

Also don’t like that there are no new type art ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — WE DON’T NEED AI IN EVERYTHING! *2026-02-14, version 2.0.10* I used to love this app, using it to calm down but the use of ai has put a sour taste in my mouth. ### 1/5 — Having trouble launching it *2025-09-20, version 1.4.1* Every time I download this app it loads but exits after Please fix this ### 1/5 — Won’t load *2025-02-17, version 1.4.1* I join the game and I am stuck on the same screen for 10 minutes ### 1/5 — Problem *2025-01-27, version 1.4.1* Game won’t load. App support link doesn’t work. Help!!! ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2024-11-02, version 1.4.1* This used to not run ads unless the user wanted to add coins. Now ads just pop up in the middle of coloring. Not relaxing at all, and when the ad goes away the ap no longer responds to single click. Sorely disappointing! ### 1/5 — Defective app *2024-10-16, version 1.4.1* I’ve had this app a year or more and recently it went black and I can’t get it to come back. I’ve deleted and downloaded again but still nothing. What’s going on? ### 1/5 — Let down *2023-04-25, version 1.3.3* After playing for 3 years I’ve uninstalled after being forced to watch ads. It’s a sad day because I’ve done thousands of pictures and probably watched hundreds of ads “voluntarily” but I don’t play games with pop up ads. ### 1/5 — Definitely needs an update *2022-03-27* I go open the app. It starts flashing white and I immediately think (wow I’m so glad I don’t have problems with flashing lights.) I tried closing the app and opening it back up again. Same thing happens. Oh and I cant even see my pictures. I’m still on the loading screen. Please fix this bug and I will rate it 5 stars. Because overall it’s a phenomenal game with no ads and no purchases except purchasing coins. I love the themes and how you can change the pixels to be cross stitch or gemstones. I sorta hate every time i try to color diagonally it flashes red and stops me from doing so. I also have amazing suggestions that would get more people to download this game. I also don’t understand the amount of coins you get after you complete a picture. Its a different amount every time. It would really benefit just keeping it consistent. Also just more options for the themes like a video game character theme i would love. Space has so many good colors. I love love LOVE this game that everything is free. But it really REALLY needs an update. If you could consider my suggestions and fix the flashing loading screen, I would never complain. (Until another problem arises) But so far right now my rating is one star but it will change to 5 if you fix the bugs And I know you guys are doing such a cool thing for the pixel art community. Thank you fir making it free. No ads. Just. Plain. Coloring. I hope you can fix the bug soon. I don’t know if it’s just my phone or it happens with other IPhones. I really am very proud of the software people who just put this game into the world. If you just fix the bug that would be amazing. **Developer response:** Hi Sadie, sorry to hear about this, please could you send our team a message using one of the contact methods below, letting them know what device and version of iOS you have and what issues you're experiencing.

So much progress GONE! The app walked me through the tutorial like it was the first time I’d ever opened it. I immediately sent a message through the app asking for help, but three days later, I’ve heard nothing. SO disappointed! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — This is AMASING *2026-07-23, version 2.1.1* Ok hear me out this game is the best you need to get it. Trust me. ### 5/5 — Great *2026-07-08, version 2.0.17* Best pixel app I found and I tried a few ### 5/5 — Pixel tap *2026-06-23, version 2.0.17* I really love this game and the art you can do I recommend it for people with ADHD ### 5/5 — More patterns please *2026-06-05, version 2.0.17* Can you please add more larger and small patterns to the pattern store. P.S. I need more smaller paintings in my menu options. ### 5/5 — Donlod this noww *2026-03-31, version 2.0.10* It has no adds and you don’t have to pay the money this is from lillian ### 5/5 — 𝓑𝓮𝓼𝓽 𝓪𝓹𝓹 𝓮𝓿𝓮𝓻!!!!!!!! *2026-03-29, version 2.0.10* 𝓘 𝓱𝓪𝓭 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝓪𝓹𝓹 𝓯𝓸𝓻 𝓪 𝓵𝓸𝓷𝓰 𝓽𝓲𝓶𝓮 𝓵𝓸𝓷𝓰 𝓮𝔁𝓹𝓮𝓻𝓲𝓮𝓷𝓬𝓮 𝓘 𝓵𝓸𝓿𝓮 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝔀𝓱𝓮𝓷 𝓪𝓽 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝓮𝓷𝓭 𝓲𝓷 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝓬𝓸𝓻𝓷𝓮𝓻 𝓸𝓯 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝓼𝓬𝓻𝓮𝓮𝓷 𝓲𝓽 𝓽𝓮𝓵𝓵𝓼 𝔂𝓸𝓾 𝓱𝓸𝔀 𝓶𝓾𝓬𝓱 𝓹𝓲𝔁𝓮𝓵𝓼 𝓪𝓻𝓮 𝓵𝓮𝓯𝓽 𝓫𝓾𝓽 𝓘 𝔀𝓲𝓼𝓱 𝓭𝓲𝓭 𝓽𝓱𝓪𝓽 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝔀𝓱𝓸𝓵𝓮 𝓽𝓲𝓶𝓮 𝓫𝓾𝓽 𝓘 𝓵𝓸𝓿𝓮 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝓪𝓹𝓹 ### 5/5 — Donlod this *2026-02-06, version 2.0.10* It has no adds and you don’t have to pay the money ### 5/5 — More features please *2026-02-05, version 2.0.10* I did not realize this developer is the same one that made cross stitch world so as a result I decided to make gemstone the default setting bc both cross stitch and gemstone stone are my favorite styles. I still use cross stitch on this app as well bc I find this app easier to use and it brings out the colors so nicely. In fact I would be willing to do a small subscription if it meant getting more features like Lego style block design, glow in the dark and other stuff or maybe color customization. ### 5/5 — Amazing🤩 *2025-11-08, version 2.0.8* I love this game so much. It is definitely one of my favorite games I have ever played. I recommend this game for all ages. It has no adds, and as I know of, premium system, which is surprising because every other game I’ve played has a premium option. It also starts you out with a lot of money, which you can use to buy almost any pattern you want. It’s also not just pixels. It has cross stitch, circles, diamonds, stars, and gemstones, and it’s very cheap to create a pattern yourself. Insanely recommend ### 5/5 — Definitely get this game!! *2025-10-20, version 2.0.8* This game has no adds and you don’t have to buy anything it’s so fun!!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
