I have gotten over the fact that I have to pay so much every week but what am I actually paying for??? I have most of the pictures done and never anything new to work on. So disappointing. ### 3/5 — Love hate relationship *2018-09-04, version 2.4* I absolutely love this app. It’s one of my favorites but I hate that you have to pay $10 a week to play or $50 a year. It’s absolutely ridiculous. This is my go to game , esp at night time. I really think the developers should consider making most of the art free and maybe just making additional specialty packs that you can buy. Please please consider this! I want to keep playing! ### 3/5 — Fun but expensive *2018-05-29, version 2.3* This is a fun app that doesn’t give you much of a chance to play without charging big bucks. Okay, but not worth the price! ### 3/5 — Art *2018-05-13, version 2.0* I love this app. The only thing that keeps me from giving it 5 stars is the fact they y’all don’t give free daily pictures like the other coloring apps do. Other than that, I love it. ### 2/5 — Nice idea, but too annoying and too expensive *2018-04-30, version 2.0* Too annoying!! If you touch a square that has already been cleared while you are going for another number, it cancels the square that has already been done. Too expensive for those of us not related to Donald Trump or not in the 1%. ### 3/5 — Fun game but keeps kicking me out *2018-04-23, version 2.0* Yes you have to pay but I don’t mind paying it since you do get a lot of coloring pages and some are pretty challenging and I like that. But the issue I have now some images will kick me out of the app and when I go back to it, it doesn’t save anything that I have done and that is frustrating. If the developers can fix that glitch I will be very grateful and happy. ### 1/5 — This is such a stupid game *2018-03-26, version 1.3* He thing is that I download the game after watching the add which looked pretty cool but when I went into the app t kept saying spamming me with pay for this pay for that like I need to buy the stuff just to make the art. Is this one of the those freakin dumb games where you have to pay to pay YES!!!!!!!! It is. Don’t download this game period P.S if you wan to save yourself some money that Don’t I mean don’t Download this dumb app. So just download Unicorn or unicorn 3D of course it still asks to pay but you can import images and there are actual free images ### 1/5 — Too expensive *2018-03-25, version 1.3* No free art. You have to pay to do anything. I have no idea how it would be because you can’t do anything without paying. ### 1/5 — HORRIBLE!!!! *2018-03-24, version 1.3* For I free game you would think it would give you one free picture to color or something like that but it does not give a single picture to color for free. Worst app ever ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time *2018-03-24, version 1.3* The app only has 3 pictures to color unless you want to pay the $7.99 a month, they don’t even give you the option to watch an ad to unlock puzzles. I am very disappointed. ### 1/5 — Pay to play, garbage *2018-03-24, version 1.3* This is horrible. I just wanted an app where I didn’t have to tap every separate box to fill it in. But no, I have to pay monthly to color a 100x100 pixel page. Absolute garbage. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — App doesn’t work *2022-06-03, version 2.5* This is an old app that I love and wanted to play again. So after redownloading it I was excited to try it again. But that app doesn’t work. If you click on any of the categories, the whole game freezes and crashes. Fix your game please. ### 1/5 — Very upset *2020-11-06, version 2.5* I have tried multiple times to cancel my subscription and nothing has worked. Beware they will continue to take money even after you cancel!! ### 1/5 — Normally a 5 Star *2018-11-12, version 2.5* Haven’t been able to use the app for a couple weeks now. Keeps closing the second it opens. ### 1/5 — Unacceptable *2018-10-27, version 2.5* I had been using this app for a couple of weeks and really enjoyed it. Unfortunately, just moments ago, a very explicit, pornographic ad featuring a completely naked man and woman appeared out of nowhere. I have never looked at porn. Even if I did, the last place I would do it is on my phone. There are no words that can explain the extremity of how concerning this is. This app features content for children! It literally has a category labeled “kids.” Why are there pornographic ads popping up where three year olds are watching!? **Developer response:** We follow the rules of the MoPub advertising network. If the issue happens again, please take a screenshot and send it to us for further investigation: support@ascellamobile.com ### 1/5 — Ridiculous *2018-09-07, version 2.4* I can play pretty much any coloring app and they at least give u one or two free pics. Or some at least give u one daily. This is ridiculous u can’t even try it unless you pay...well you will NOT b getting my money...I have plenty of coloring apps. And you guys are going to regret this cause I’m pretty sure not much people will be paying to color LOL! Wow ### 1/5 — I can’t figure out how to cancel my subscription to this game. *2018-06-22, version 2.3* Seriously I have searched how to cancel my subscription. There needs to be an easy way to cancel this waste of money ### 1/5 — Worst app *2018-06-05, version 2.3* I watched an ad to color a picture, I went back to finish the picture I started, and it won’t let me finish the picture without paying for a subscription. I have another pixel app that has plenty of free options to color. I should be able to finish the pic I started. Not cool ### 1/5 — Deleted it *2018-05-20, version 2.1* For some reason your company is taking money off of my account every week to color when I never signed up. Please STOP!!!! There is nowhere on your app where you can cancel a subscription. But every time I go into the app. I have full access and my iTunes account has $7.99 taken off of it. It stopped for awhile because I had no money on it but as soon as money was put on the account your company took the money right out. DO NOT DO IT AGAIN!!!! I did not subscribe!!!!!!! ### 1/5 — Going downhill fast *2018-04-29, version 2.0* For about a month now this app will close unexpectedly and all coloring I completed right before will be lost so I will have to start over. I’m not sure what was changed in the app but it never randomly shut down on me before? This only happens with the really detailed pictures, which are the only ones worth doing. Is there anything that can be done to correct this? If not, I feel I wasted my money . I emailed over a week ago with no response. Also, I’ve emailed before asking how often new pictures are loaded and was told usually once a week, but it’s been about a month AGAIN. Very disappointed. ### 1/5 — Not So Free After All *2018-03-26, version 1.3* Downloaded this after seeing ads for it and thinking it was right up my alley. Until I discovered there’s only about 5 free images and you have to pay $8 a WEEK to unlock the rest. Yeah, no thanks. I’ll go back to “Pixel Art” and “Color Number”. At least they have a good amount of free images. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — PIXY *2019-03-01, version 2.5* I love coloring when I first did coloring I was about 8 years old and now I am 80 years old and I am coloring again ### 5/5 — Entertaining and fun during my chemotherapy *2018-07-11, version 2.3* Yes you do have to pay to get more to color but I enjoy Pixy more than all other ones because this one you have to actually color but others you can just press a number and it will color all the other numbers corresponding to it and then it’s just dull. I’ve had this for a few months now and I enjoy it the most while having chemo. They keep updating and add more pictures to color and it just keeps going and going. Thank you!!! Also sometimes it does lack but I still like it. Best out of all the coloring apps **Developer response:** Thank you for your valuable review. We are glad you like our app. Your feedback encourages us to keep making it even better! ### 5/5 — Love but....... *2018-04-05, version 1.3* I am going to give u five stars. I love the app. I love to color on it. We travel a lot and i play while my husband plays his football game. I have almost colored everything. I wish there was Disney. Pixar. And some mandelas and zen tangle designs. I also wish that once u finish a color it cannot be change on the screen. Sometimes as i scroll thru i touch to and it changes and i have no clue that it changed. I pay the yearly fee. I want more updates more frequent. I think if i pay that i should at least get two updates a month at that at the minimum ### 5/5 — Pixy *2018-03-27, version 1.3* Games are fine, but please change the font of the numbers. ### 5/5 — 🤪🤩 *2017-12-30, version 1.3* Pretty good but there should be more free things ### 4/5 — Oh no *2021-04-01, version 2.5* I was doing a fox then it kicked me out. And i joined agin and its all gone i was doing the six one ### 4/5 — New pictures *2018-08-23, version 2.4* Need new pictures more often. And I’ve never had the offer to watch a video to get new pictures **Developer response:** Please contact us at support@ascellamobile.com so we can investigate and resolve the issue. Thank you! ### 4/5 — Frustrated *2018-06-27, version 2.3* If you touch an area that you have already colored you have to go back & Recolor it. I’ve did other color books & it doesn’t happen on those. So it gets frustrating. Also if my page shuts down you have to start all over that’s aggravating too it needs to save as you go along. I think you need to update/fix these problems. **Developer response:** Thank you for your message. Your feedback is very important for us and we will do our best to keep improving the application! ### 3/5 — Updates *2019-03-10, version 2.5* I love this app, but I’m a lot passed off because I pay $70 a year and there haven’t been new pictures for almost 7 months. I have done them all. There is also not a reset button that even allows you to uncolor them so you can do them again. Please fix both of these issues or I will unsubscribe. **Developer response:** Hello! We are sorry about this situation. Could you please contact our customer support at support@tap2play.pw ? We will try our best to resolve this issue as soon as possible. Thank you! ### 3/5 — PLEASE UPDATE PICS *2019-01-15, version 2.5* I completed several categories months ago & every day I check for new pics. I pay nearly $70 a year for this & can’t even use it. In the meantime, I’ve been using another app that updates with pics Every day & it’s FREE! I’m curious as to why it takes so long for updates when you charge so much. I’m not kidding when I say I’ve been done for months. I mentioned it in September, then hoped November would bring something new in... nope, maybe Christmas?... nope, maybe a New Year surprise?... nope. What am I paying for? I’ve enjoyed the app, obviously, but come on! Art is my favorite category, finished that in September, moved on & finished others & I’m still waiting. Please update soon or I won’t renew an app I’m not using. This is the only app I’ve paid for & I’m feeling very ripped off lately. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
