### 3/5 — Gliches

*2026-09-02, version 5.6.10*

I’ve been using Recolor for a long time.  I tolerate the adds.  Have not been happy with some changes.  Preferred when you got one pic a day.  If you’re working you miss out on pics.  I won’t live my life around an app.  Lately, like now, there seems to be more issues with the app connecting.  When Recolor is having the problem, we shouldn’t loose our pics.  Recolor should allow us to open them without buying a subscription.  Very frustrating.

### 3/5 — Dobbytheelf

*2026-08-29, version 5.6.10*

I was excited about this game until I realized that I couldn't color anything good without paying, I'm not an adult, and my parents aren't going to pay and won't want me paying either. You need better options for people who dont want to or can't pay.

### 2/5 — Subscription Lost

*2026-08-20, version 5.6.10*

Beware, I got a new phone. I went from an android to an ios phone. Had trouble transfering  my paid subscription to the ios. I paid for a year which is set to expire in late December,  which is 4 and a half months from now. After contacting support I was informed that the subscrition I paid for will not transfer. I would have to purchase another one. So what happens to the money I paid. I guess I forfiet it. No offer of credit back. Just a matter of fact response of too bad. Purchase it again. Very disapointed. Recolor really screwed me on this. I am locked out of colors and pictures that I paid access to. I will not purchase again.  I have used this app for a long time. I have thousands of likes on my work and very many followers. I am very sad to let it go.

### 2/5 — I’m done.

*2026-08-19, version 5.6.10*

Used to be my favorite ever app a while back. Checked on it now? Everything, every single picture requires a subscription except for two lousy images

### 4/5 — Log-in

*2026-08-15, version 5.6.10*

Why am I constantly being asked to Log-in all the time? 

I put my Log-in details Facebook, Google etc. and it always says Email/password is wrong!

That’s not correct! Nothing wrong with my Log-in details.

I’m seriously considering deleting the app if this isn’t fixed - even though I’ve completed over 12,000 Recolor Pictures! 

Needs to be corrected asap!

### 3/5 — Price Unreal!

*2026-08-12, version 5.6.10*

I used to have this app and subscription about 7 years ago or so and I loved it. I came back into it and it does let me Recolor the pictures I colored years ago and still has some of my own color palettes. Which I thought was cool! However, I was thinking of getting it again, but it’s so expensive! I couldn’t believe it!! Crazy! You could buy for one week or month and then when your subscription is up you can Recolor all the pictures that you actually colored while you had the subscription. It does give you free pictures if you don’t have the subscription but you have to watch a commercial! So not really FREE. lol! Over all the pallets that you can make are endless tho. Try for a minute but it’s too expensive for me!! I mean come on, it’s an app!!

### 4/5 — I love it but it's not free

*2026-08-07, version 5.6.10*

This is such an amazing app but your get worth through the full purchase

### 4/5 — Long time subscriber

*2026-07-21, version 5.6.10*

Haven’t been coloring for awhile but I remember tool options, paint brush, pen, pencil, sharp or wide coloring tools, did these options get deleted?

### 3/5 — Half-Price Summer Sale-August 23, 2022

*2026-07-21, version 5.6.10*

I went down & purchased an Apple Card so I could get the Summer Sale price. Scanned it into my iPad. Tried to Redeem it. No Luck. It won’t let me use it for this app. I’m not very happy, as I don’t usually buy gift cards. I just use my bank card. Now, I’ve got the $50 credit just sitting there looking stupid. I’d really appreciate it if you could get this solved before I lose the Summer Sale. 
I looked in the app for Customer Service. 
Can. Not. Find. It! 
Make this work, please.

### 2/5 — TECHNICAL ISSUES are overwhelming for $90 subscription

*2026-07-20, version 5.6.10*

I use to enjoy the app and coloring as a subscriber.

Can’t load templates, can’t recolor templates from someone’s home page. Followers list stopped loading. 

I would love to see new templates, especially ones that don’t show big thick black lines. I love to color out of the lines and to change templates with my own additions. 

Support answers emails promptly. Just takes a while to understand what they are talking about. Some  issues I have had has finally been made clear.
However, more technical issues are popping up. Who knows how long it will take to fix.

### 4/5 — No updates

*2026-07-20, version 5.6.10*

Why aren’t I receiving further pictures to colour? 

The pictures don’t seem to be loading - why?

### 4/5 — Fun but would like to see new templates coming out.

*2026-07-14, version 5.6.10*

I enjoy the app and coloring as a subscriber. 

I would love to see new templates, especially ones that don’t show big thick black lines. I love to color out of the lines and to change templates with my own additions. 

Support answers emails promptly. Just hard to sometimes understand what they are talking about. But, any issues I have had has finally been made clear.

### 2/5 — Price

*2026-07-14, version 5.6.10*

Yea, I’m sorry, this is cool in theory but the subscription fee completely turned me off from this right out the gate.

Question, why on Earth would I pay a damn 30 dollar subscription every month for a damn coloring book instead of just…ya know, actually going out and buying a real one to save much more money and still get the same results???

### 1/5 — Very disappointed

*2026-07-12, version 5.6.10*

I am thoroughly disappointed with this game, you have to pay for literally EVERYTHING!!! You have a VERY limited selection of pictures to colour for free, even then you have to watch an advert! I used to enjoy this game a few years ago and downloaded it again as I remembered how much fun I used to have, however now I am so annoyed as this was one of the colouring games that I actually enjoyed playing. To sum it up, the game is extremely money hungry and if you want to play for free, you can’t.

### 1/5 — Not working

*2026-07-11, version 5.6.10*

Still not working!! I go to open the app n it flashes n takes me back to Home Screen. Very disappointing I have several pictures on there I want

### 1/5 — Rating reflects how not helpful support has been

*2026-07-10, version 5.6.10*

I had an old account for years. Then deleted app and subscription due to inappropriate behavior from teens/kids on app. 

I reinstalled app about 3 years ago to check out if administrators had finally cleaned up the app. They did. 

I opened a new account under my second email. After 3 years of using it, I was logged out for some reason. I couldn’t remember password and after trying several times to reset password, it wasn’t working. 

Anyway, support just kept repeating the same thing over and over again acting as if I was stupid and was not understanding what they were saying. 

So, sadly I decided to end subscription. But, I have sent another email one last time

### 1/5 — Find another colouring game

*2026-07-08, version 5.6.10*

You need to subscribe for basically all of the pictures, its near impossible to find ones for fee and if you do, they are not as good

### 1/5 — Used to be good

*2026-07-06, version 5.6.10*

I had downloaded this app years ago and it was free had interactive things and was amazing I opened it again after a few year break after having my child and in order to do anything in it you have to pay its false advertising to mark it as free so people will download your app just to make it to where they have to pay a monthly subscription just to do anything on it. I wish it hadn’t changed I know things change and people need to make money but this was a calm app without ads or high fees that had helped me with my depression in high school it’s a shame I can’t revisit it now and have the same calming feeling

### 2/5 — SCAM!!!

*2026-07-05, version 5.6.10*

This app is such a scam, I’ve tried this out and there’s only 1 or 2 free pictures and they are boring! All the other ones need premium for them and premium is over £100 a year! And when you import a picture on it, it still requires an advert and when you colour it in you only get to use basic colours because all the other colours require premium! IT IS SO ANNOYING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

### 1/5 — Bad Access Token

*2026-08-25, version 5.6.10*

I keep getting a bad access token message and keep being prompted to sign into this app. I’ve been using it since it was first introduced and do not understand what’s going on. Please fix this issue.

### 1/5 — Deeply Disappointed

*2026-08-13, version 5.6.10*

Recolor is officially a ripoff. I’ve used this coloring book since I was about 19 for sure possibly younger. Today im 29. 10 years with this coloring book and they’ve barely added new pictures, or coloring features. But somehow they can over charge for premium. For a few years I actually paid the expensive subscription. But then I realized I’m pretty much using the same photos again and again. A complete ripoff. Don’t bother using or buying.

### 1/5 — Not what I expected…

*2026-08-03, version 5.6.10*

So I wanted a free colouring, like Color Pop, cos I’m too young for it, and I downloaded it then I started colouring but I thought you could like free draw, but it’s on bucket mode the WHOLE TIME

And like what the hell? Why do I HAVE to do the “dailies” like I wanna do what I want without having to spend money cos I DONT HAVE MONEY!

Devs please take into consideration that WE WANT MORE FREE COLOURINGS!!

### 1/5 — no good

*2026-07-27, version 5.6.10*

i think 104 seconds of ad to unlock  a page is way way tooooo short you need to add another minute to it. wth? 104 seconds of ad then it takes you to another page that the X to close it , isn’t anywhere to see then another pages pop which you can’t close it because it keeps taking you to the app store. then it is always same colring page from months and years ago

### 1/5 — Everything is expensive

*2026-07-24, version 5.6.10*

There are literally no free drawings on this app. Who the hell is paying 100+ dollars a year for this? Greedy.

### 1/5 — Stopped loading

*2026-07-20, version 5.6.10*

This app doesnt load anymore in america . im not sure what happened. Just spins and never let you use it. i used it yesterday and today not working

### 1/5 — OVERLY EXPENSIVE TO COLOR!??

*2026-07-20, version 5.6.10*

This is ridiculous. I’m not paying 30 dollars a month to color this is so dumb. Maybe if it was 10 dollars I would pay but that price is pushing it… $5 a month would be a reasonable price. The app is fun but not for this price

### 1/5 — This game is the worst

*2026-07-16, version 5.6.10*

This game won’t work.every time I try to play it, kicks me out and I can’t even play I would not recommend

*2026-08-26, version 5.6.10*

I love this drawing app and it’s so amazing

### 5/5 — Disappointed

*2026-06-25, version 5.6.10*

I would like to add…Recolor contacted me, and the response was very insightful and service oriented. Based on that I would recommend the app, knowing that they are willing to hear and respond to their customer base. 
Someone that is new to Recolor will enjoy the app and it’s many tools.
I was an enthusiastic subscriber to Recolor several years ago and even participated in one of their special projects involving illustrations from the Los Angeles Times. At that time, I felt the app offered excellent value and I happily recommended it to others.
Recently, because I am spending more time at home recovering from health issues, I decided to renew my subscription. I was surprised to find that the annual cost had increased dramatically—from approximately $45 per year when I was previously subscribed to over $120 per year today. Although I was disappointed by the price increase, I chose to subscribe because I trusted that the app would have evolved and improved over the years.
Unfortunately, that has not been my experience. The app appears largely unchanged from when I last used it. The same color palettes, effects, and tools remain in place, with little evidence of meaningful development or innovation. Even more disappointing, many of the coloring pages being featured now are pages I remember coloring years ago, giving the impression that older content is being recycled rather than new material being created.
I don’t mind paying more for a product that continues to grow and improve. However, it is difficult to justify such a significant price increase when the user experience has remained essentially the same—or in some ways feels diminished due to the repeated content.
I sincerely hope Recolor invests in updating the app, introducing new tools and effects, and providing more original artwork for its subscribers. Until then, I cannot say that the current subscription price reflects the value being offered.

### 5/5 — I love Recolor and the Recolor community

*2026-06-14, version 5.6.10*

I have been subscribed to Recolor for about 10 years now and I am very hooked. Although I usually don’t color their templates, I am normally impressed with their dailies.

With a variety of colors and effects to choose from it’s easy to make an import look very impressive.

Although I am a paid subscriber, I know many who are happy with the free app. Fortunately, once you subscribe and continue to renew, the price stays the same.

### 5/5 — Monica

### 5/5 — Why I love Recolor!!

*2026-06-08, version 5.6.10*

So I have neurological issues, and this app is a great resource for me to focus and relax and work on my digital (fingers) skills. Also when I had a technical issue they fixed it within a few hours. Amazing service and an amazing app. It allows you to color what you want how you want. Really one of my most used apps!!

### 5/5 — Love this game

*2026-06-08, version 5.6.10*

Perfect game for chilling and relaxing with the perfect colouring app! Love this game!

### 5/5 — New Pictures?

*2026-05-01, version 5.6.10*

I love this app, pay for premium, use it daily. But the daily pictures are just reused ones in another section. Why can't we get new ones?
