AND I DO NOT LIKE ADS! ### 4/5 — Orden de las piezas *2024-05-08, version 2.1.7* Me encanta este juego, es relajante y hermoso de ver, pero para ser perfecto me gustaría que las piezas estén en orden de número, no que salte de por ejemplo, del 5 al 38, es más cómodo si fuese en orden: 1, 2, 3, 4, etc… ### 4/5 — Schönes Spiel *2024-02-06* Eine schönes Spiel und gefällt mir von allen andren Poly-Spielen am besten auch wenn es etwas zu viel vom Akku verbraucht und das Handy recht warm wird. Leider erfolgten, entgegen der Aussage, dass das Spiel regelmäßig aktualisiert werden würde, seit (über) einem Jahr keine Neuerungen, Updates usw. mehr. Das ist sehr schade aber wer weiß woran es liegt. Edit 06.02.2024 Das Spielt scheint leider nicht mehr gepflegt zu werden. Das Ausfüllen der Bilder (und der Kreationen) macht aber immer noch Spaß. Es wäre schön, wenn es wenigstens eine Möglichkeit gebe, mit der man alles zurücksetzen und somit von neuem beginnen kann. ### 3/5 — Pay to go on *2024-01-08, version 2.1.7* It is a relaxing game, with no bugs and a big variety of works to color with shapes. It is okay for all ages, as long as you are rich! For 70% of the works you have to have the premium pass that is something like 7 dollars a week. After the first paintings, you don’t know what else to do, and you have to start paying. ### 2/5 — Too many ads/too expensive *2023-04-22, version 2.1.7* I’ve paid for many games, so I’m not one of those people who think developers should make games for free. But the game is just way too expensive, and if you don’t pay, the ads are way too much. Too rich for my blood. ### 3/5 — Mise à jour sans nouveautés *2021-02-12* Toujours pas de nouvelles images sur cette dernière mise à jour. Très déçu, j'enlève 2 étoiles ### 5/5 — Good job *2020-09-25, version 2.1.2* Thank you ### 5/5 — Amazing Music! Very fun game! *2020-08-08, version 2.1.0* This game is very soothing and just generally very fun to play! The music even mentally calms my Braincells! ### 5/5 — Tolles Spiel!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ *2020-06-02* Es ist ein Spiel zum unterhalten oder wenn man schlechte Laune hat?von mir volle Sterne ⭐️ ### 5/5 — A Game Of The Highest Quality *2020-05-30, version 2.1.0* This game is the best method I have of calming down, relaxing, or entertaining myself for long or brief periods of time. It’s simple and straightforward but always complex enough to not get sick of. There are plenty of designs and pictures to create and even when you have to watch a video for a premium picture, the videos are short and tolerable. Highly recommend ### 3/5 — Mostly fun *2020-05-21, version 2.1.0* I have very much enjoyed this app. It’s relaxing and satisfying to achieve a completed puzzle, and the artwork is quite beautiful. I have two issues with it however. 1. It’s frustrating to spend gems to buy a pack, then have to still either spend gems or watch videos to unlock the puzzles within that pack. 2. Like other reviewers, I would love to have an option that filters the pieces by number or color. It’s not much of an issue in earlier puzzles, but I am currently working on the mandalas and those have 500-800 pieces. It’s very frustrating to try and hunt for a specific spot when the numbers aren’t in order. The second issue is the one I find really irritating, and if it were fixed I’d probably up my rating to five stars, but otherwise I’d definitely recommend this app. ### 5/5 — One issue *2020-03-15, version 2.0.0* UPDATE: If you start a puzzle, you’ll get the hang of how to find the numbers. This is the BEST stress reliever. I absolutely love this game. I LOVE this game but as others have said, sometimes the pieces are numbered in a completely out of order way, as in Mandalas which is not fun when you have to search and search. I’d gladly pay money for new puzzles that are numbered in some kind of order. Mandalas was such a disappointment. More puzzles, please. ### 5/5 — ☺️ *2020-03-05, version 2.0.0* So relaxing . ### 3/5 — What’s the Deal with Versus Mode? *2020-01-20, version 2.0.0* I like this game. It is relaxing (a bit mindless - but that’s always a bad thing!) and also visually pleasing. I was happy to see the recent update, which includes a versus mode feature. But I’ve tried a few times to play it, and it has never worked. It says searching to players - and you never actually get to the game. Are there any thoughts on making further improvements to this? Or to adding additional islands, which make this app unique? ### 5/5 — Très bon jeu!! *2020-01-12* Je trouve ce jeu très intéressant, il détend et les «formes » sont très jolies... je recommande ce jeu à 100%!! ### 5/5 — Color by number meets puzzle *2019-09-30, version 1.4.5* Puzzle, color by number and color Island. This game is a great combination of some of my favorite type of games! I just started playing, so I hope there back - fires 😮 ### 4/5 — MORE PUZZLES *2019-09-20, version 1.4.5* this game is phenomenal, and extremely beneficial to me, although i’ve completed every puzzle possible, and the only thing else to do is pay a disgusting amount for a membership. please consider adding more puzzles or at least make more packs cost gems too. the premium is wayyyy too expensive ### 5/5 — Shavasana *2019-09-02, version 1.4.5* Simple designs to colour in, with relaxing meditative music play in background. It just as effective as ‘shavasana’(meditation) ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Horrid stressful game *2021-04-12, version 2.1.5* I don’t want to hear of this ever again I’m in so much pain from this game please save yourself😵🪦💀 ### 1/5 — Overly simplistic and poorly priced. *2020-02-27, version 2.0.0* A ridiculously priced game, that requires you to pay a subscription that is necessary to go beyond the first level. A simple game, with many free versions, more worth your time than this, and a lot less hassle. ### 1/5 — Capitalism gone mad *2019-08-31, version 1.4.5* You’d have to be insane to pay the subscription price, I’m assuming they make most of their profit from people who are silly enough to try the “free” trial and forget to cancel it ### 1/5 — What in the world *2019-08-28, version 1.4.5* This is the most ridiculous app pricing in the world. Subscribe to do what are basically simple puzzles. Sure that might relieve stress but that stress will soon be replaced by your monthly bill. Big budget PlayStation games aren’t this expensive and you get to keep them. My advice, find something else that is probably free. I’m sure there are many apps exactly the same. ### 1/5 — Sick of subscribing *2019-08-03, version 1.4.1* Most people can’t afford to subscribe to every app they download. Especially when so many developers are just ripping their customers off. ### 1/5 — No permanent way to remove ads, subscription service only *2019-05-07, version 1.3.1* Seriously? No. ### 1/5 — Too pricy for the content *2019-05-02, version 1.3.0* Honestly, this game is relaxing and enjoyable. What gets me is the price tag. $7.99/week or $99.99/year!!! To me that is so over the top for what is offered in the game. There is no difficulty settings, no achievements, no loot system....just most of the puzzles you need for the islands. There isn’t even an option to create your own puzzles. Or at least I haven’t found it yet. As an avid gamer, it’s absolutely ridiculous that they want this kind of money for a simple phone game. Lol. I mean would expect ESO level of game entertainment for this price. ### 1/5 — Not enough to do *2019-04-24, version 1.2.0* There may be a lot of polys to do but you can’t do most of the ones to place down they all say watch 2 ads or pay premium what’s worse is that it’s telling me to turn something off in setting that I can’t even turn off. And the price for premium are you serious. $19.99 every month and $99.99 for one year yeah no. ### 1/5 — What a bore *2019-04-23, version 1.1.1* I love puzzle games, that’s no secret, I like to keep myself busy by challenging myself, this likes to market itself as a puzzle game that will “develop your mind” (?) or something but it’s not, it’s a color by numbers game that not only gives you all the numbers and colors, but if you’re struggling to find the right number it will show you where it’s supposed to go, the only purpose I can see in this “”game”” is to entertain a 5 year old, play picross or something if you want a color by number puzzle ### 1/5 — Uninstalled *2019-04-22, version 1.1.1* You don’t create anything, just move the colourful triangles to its pre-defined position. I’d rather use a paper colouring book. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Transfer data? *2026-03-27* It's so fun. It's the best game of my life. But can't I transfer data to other devices? ### 5/5 — love it *2024-03-29, version 2.1.7* this game never gets boring there’s so many different ones to complete that you can spend hours playing it ads are no issue there’s the odd one now and again but they are very short and can also choose to watch adds to unlock extra puzzles as an oppose to paying which i love. No purchases are necessary and for items you can pay for you can also watch adds for instead which keeps it a free to play and very entertaining game ### 5/5 — Pretty ccol *2023-07-18, version 2.1.7* Pretty ccol ### 5/5 — 만족함 *2022-01-17* 광고 봐야하는게 많긴한데 재밌음 다만 눈건강은 못지킴 ### 5/5 — Best game! *2021-11-28, version 2.1.5* I’ve been playing this for almost a year and it has been very relaxing with only a few ads. It’s the one thing I feel like I can accomplish when the joy of finishing a puzzle comes:)) ### 5/5 — I love it… but *2021-08-09, version 2.1.5* I adore this game but my eyesight isn’t super great, and I can’t find where the peaces are supposed to go a lot of the time. So I was wondering if you could make where the peace should go glow, or darken, or something? When you tap said peace??? ### 5/5 — Theme *2021-05-30, version 2.1.5* I think we should have a mystical theme with unicorns and other stuff!! ### 5/5 — Wish the sticker numbers were in order *2021-05-23, version 2.1.5* I love this game! So fun, and relaxing. The only thing is that the stickers appear randomly, not in number order. This just makes the game harder and more frustrating. Please fix this. ### 5/5 — Pony island *2021-03-02, version 2.1.5* I like how the shapes have numbers so you don’t have even look around to find them! ### 5/5 — Amazing and calming *2021-02-12, version 2.1.5* This app is my favorite time of all! It is so relaxing and gets your mind off stress. The adds are not bad at all. The activity is so fun. I love how I get to create my own island full of what I want. It’s not a lot of work and I love the music in the background. Again overall this app is amazing and so much fun! I highly recommend for anyone with anxiety or just anyone trying to get through a stressful day. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
