Correct this cause it is annoying. It makes it look like you are lying about the coins. Tap color is great though. ### 2/5 — Watch out how they make you do more for the task of the day *2026-02-24, version 8.9.3* I started to notice that whenever they had the color 5 pictures as the daily task, my number of pics weren’t adding up. I would color 1-2 pics together & then color as I could through out the day. I have reached out to support about this issue only for them requesting proof. Like how can I prove I colored 4 pics that day yet the app only says I did 1? They must have a way to know this unless they want us to color more unexpectedly. I use to love this app for relaxing but I am reconsidering on switching ### 4/5 — Too many color changes *2026-02-05, version 8.9.3* First, let me say I love the “tap” feature! So much nicer than other coloring sites. However, I would like to understand why you insist on having every single picture have over 100 color changes! That makes the picture take WAY too long! I used to color at least 3 pictures a day, now I can only get one in, sometimes I don’t even have time to complete one. I’d really rather have a little variety by being able to color a couple of pictures rather than spend so much time on one pic. I get bored spending anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour & a half on one pic. ### 3/5 — Ad overload *2025-12-09, version 8.9.3* The ads are way too long now, they take forever to go through. And there are too many of them. Before and after pictures is excessive. I used to love this app but the ads taking up too much time between projects just irritates my adhd further and I get distracted by something else. ### 3/5 — Won’t load App *2025-06-07, version 8.9.0* Well it was excellent except Click on app and it shuts down immediately please fix it quick. I’ve deleted and reinstalled app and it’s made no difference ### 3/5 — Js *2025-05-07, version 8.8.9* Love playing it is so much fun but I can’t stand the ads that take forever to get through, I don’t like being forced to watch them if I want to continue playing and I am not paying to have them removed ### 2/5 — AI overkill now sadly *2025-04-21, version 8.8.9* I was playing this for years and loved it. They had some controversies but they fixed them. Sadly, now most of the art is AI art which is so disappointing I had to delete it ### 5/5 — Been enjoying for a long time *2024-12-04, version 8.8.2* Having link pop up near bottom left is aggravating when I accidentally hit it while filling in colors. It I want a clue or an ad I know where those links are on the top. Just saying… otherwise great fun and appreciate that it automatically selects next color when one is completed! ### 3/5 — Buggy but still fine *2024-11-26, version 8.8.2* It is very laggy and buggy with a few bugs but overall not that bad ### 5/5 — お願いしまーす *2024-11-20* 無料になりますように ### 5/5 — Nomes *2024-10-18, version 8.8.2* Where are the jars with the nomes in them, please respond ### 3/5 — Update terrible *2024-09-18, version 8.8.2* You’ve spoiled this app with flashing and constantly moving ads ar the bottom. I come to the app to relax and the flashing ads are awful. ### 5/5 — イラストは綺麗 *2024-09-16* タップしていると画像が動いてしまうのを固定できるようにしてほしいです ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — What’s with this?? *2026-06-04, version 8.9.3* Lately ads pop up frequently in the middle of colouring a picture!!! WHY????????? Don’t mind after you finish a pic, but not during!! Please fix this! ### 1/5 — Tap Pro Paint *2025-12-24, version 8.9.3* I have been using this app for a few years and really liked it. Now every time I try to color I get the damn bird game that I can’t get rid of unless I turn tablet off and back on again. But guess what, the next time I tried to color I got that ad again. I am very frustrated about this and you. Do something!! ### 1/5 — Black History Month *2025-02-01, version 8.8.6* Where are the Black History Month pictures? ### 1/5 — Concerning *2024-10-23, version 8.8.2* I’ve had this app for probably a month now. I used to color at night to destress. But the past couple of days in the middle of a coloring page, Google would randomly open to an ad. And then tonight I was coloring and all of a sudden my phone starts beeping. I exit the app and the beeping stops. Get back on the app and immediately it starts beeping again. My speakers show “Scanning your device” and it goes away when I exit the app. I immediately deleted the app from my phone because that’s concerning. ### 1/5 — Aggravating *2024-10-22, version 8.8.2* I used to love this app but now I can’t even color a picture without it constantly redirecting me to some random website. I hate that I had to delete it. If they get fixed I would give it five stars and reinstall it. ### 1/5 — STOP THE SPAM!!! *2024-10-19, version 8.8.2* I’ve been playing this game for almost 7 years, thousands of colors. But these new sudden spam ads scanning phones and such MUST STOP!!!! They open randomly when coloring, and it’s not ok!! I’m going to stop playing if this continues. ### 1/5 — Tap color *2024-09-10, version 8.8.2* It’s crashing within 10 minutes and you need to start over I am ready to delete it started today or before that I was happy ### 1/5 — Supremely Poor App and Customer Service *2024-08-21, version 8.8.0* Only one star but if I could give zero, I would! I purchased unlimited hints and no ads prior to this app being changed to subscription. As a result of their recent issues, I believed I was experiencing problems on my iPad so deleted the app and reinstalled. Whoops, no more upgraded app and even with my receipt from back then, they REFUSE to fix. Pictures are nice CUSTOMER SERVICE IS THE ABSOLUTE WORST EVER!!!! ### 1/5 — Pictures on app *2024-07-04, version 8.8.0* You show beautiful pictures of lovely gardens and homes while you’re advertising but they’re a no-show when you download the app. Faulty advertising. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2024-06-12, version 8.7.9* This has been the only game-type app that I’ve kept on my phone. I always end up uninterested in other game apps & end up deleting them. Tap Color has been my #1 favorite app for years and years. But, unfortunately, I am actually thinking about deleting it due to two issues that have started fairly recently: 1 - It takes several attempts to swipe/close this app. The thin black line at the bottom isn't available, it's grayed out. I have to swipe up several times before that line will finally turn black so I can close the app. So frustrating. 2 - I used to be able to play Spotify podcasts, or music, in the background while coloring on Tap Color. But now Spotify will pause repeatedly. I then have to swipe up multiple times on Tap Color in order to even be able to switch to Spotify so I can click play again. Then I go back to Tap Color only to have Spotify pause again a few seconds later. Extremely annoying. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — This has become my go to app *2026-07-02, version 8.9.3* I wish that I could give this app many more than just five stars. I have had coloring apps for years now, by far, it has become my go to app, my favorite app one of the things that I love the most is they have lots of Word pages to color. Not just any pages with words. They go above and beyond and provide pages with words that are motivating, uplifting, encouraging, and even a couple that are funny. I spent all day yesterday going through their pages. As I scrolled, I kept thinking this one is my favorite, then I would move on to another one, and I would think that one is my favorite. Huge thanks too. This app for being different than all of the others coloring apps. This one is very special. I am grateful to have this. I encourage anyone to buy the premium version. It is inexpensive and one of the best investments I’ve ever made in an app. I hope the developers continue to provide more of their amazing and very unique pages Big thanks. ### 5/5 — tap color *2026-04-22, version 8.9.3* I love this game it is so relaxing and calming really it is so soothing and relaxing really ### 5/5 — Very important *2026-02-14, version 8.9.3* This was a very good game and then it became 18+ now I can’t play it. I loved it so much. I played it every day and then it became 18+ in my world was ruined. OK not really but still if you get the point it was a good game. Why it was so good is the colors were nice. There was lots of detail they did like daily up loads. It was so much fun, but there were way too many glitches and to be honest some of the ads,back when it was 4+ were actually inappropriate.
