The only issue that I’ve found so far is that on the detailed sections, often you can’t select each small shape without getting 2 to 5 others, even when zoomed in all the way. I’ve tried some work arounds I had hoped would work and multiple times thinking it was just me. Can get frustrating. ### 5/5 — Very Good *2018-05-09, version 1.3* Very enjoyable ### 5/5 — Coloring book *2018-05-08, version 1.3* There are almost endless pictures to color and lots and lots of color palettes to choose from and the best part, IT’S ALL FREE!!! If you try it you’ll be hooked. There are lots of other games offered. Did I tell you they are ALL FREE. No gimmicks just fun games and it’s ALL FREE❤️ ### 4/5 — Coloring Book *2018-05-06, version 1.3* Love this app, just would like some simpler drawings also. I need some that don't take so long to complete. ### 5/5 — Very cool!!! *2018-04-16, version 1.2* I really love this app!!! I can’t wait for an update that allows the user to import their own pics to color. ### 5/5 — Totally Free, totally enjoyable *2018-03-17, version 1.2* Like other Boy Howdy products, this is a quality app. I never thought coloring in an app would be this satisfying. I especially love seeing what colors the “Random” palette will come up with. It helps calm my nerves to have coloring with me in doctor’s waiting rooms, or anywhere I might get the jitters—and so much easier to carry around than paper pages and wooden colored pencils! You’ll love it! ### 4/5 — Great way to occupy the time. Fun and relaxing! *2018-03-08, version 1.2* Thanks ### 4/5 — Simply fun *2017-12-23, version 1.2* Nothing fancy and I'd love more color choices but easy mindless fun. ### 5/5 — The best! *2017-11-11, version 1.2* Everyone has card games and other boring stuff. But, if you are looking for games that are unusual and challenging do yourself a favor and check out Boy Howdy. I love this coloring app. Even painted myself a pink chicken and a octopus just for fun. Did a fish in two different color schemes. Now I save the finished pages to photos and send them to my friends. And while you are at it, they have “wonderland golf”. Crazy addictive. Break out of the “solitaire” rut and try these two. Oh yeah almost forgot to mention, they are all free. ### 4/5 — Coloring Fun *2017-10-22, version 1.2* Good app. Nice pictures and lots of colors. Easy to do. Only downside is that sometimes the borders around parts of the picture aren’t solid so the color fills unwanted area. Still a good relaxer. ### 4/5 — Coloring on boy howdy *2017-10-12, version 1.2* The lines don’t always close so you have no choice as to the color things are at times. Would be nice if they closed. ### 5/5 — So much color!!! *2017-10-09, version 1.2* Habit forming and fun!!, ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 2/5 — Right Now low rank because … *2021-11-24, version 1.5* … I play Happy Color on my small screen on my Apple cell phone: The color pallet and artistic pictures have such small circles that it is hard to have to keep erasing … so I haven’t even finished ONE. ### 2/5 — Meooow *2018-05-18, version 1.3* Why are there no pets? Add more categories. I am not pleased and waiting for more cats on the app. ### 2/5 — The app needs help *2018-01-25, version 1.2* I love Boy Howdy apps, and I consistently review them with 5 stars... Right up until this one. Problems? Where do I begin? 1) Many of the designs are done with such thin lines that you put a color into one spot and it bleeds into surrounding area because the line between is so thin that the program does not recognize it as a barrier. 2) The color palettes are okay, but it would be nice to have the option of choosing gradations of the colors instead of just the limited pre-sets. 3) When loading a work in progress you have to wait for each individual spot that was previously colored to be filled in - one at a time. For the really intricate designs, it means waiting for-bloody-ever. 4) I was several hours into a very intricate design, and it crashed. And every time it tried to reload, it kept crashing and starting over. I would watch as the spaces filled in one-by-one, hoping that this time it would work and I could finish, only to have it crash again. That was late at night, so I put it aside. The next morning, I tried again. It crashed several times, so I opened a different design then closed it and went back to the other one. This time, it loaded right away, but the reason it went so quickly was because it had dumped 90% of the work I had done. Very disappointing and disheartening. I like this app, but I won't be using it again for some time. The coloring apps are supposed to be relaxing, not frustrating. PLEASE, fix these issues so I can enjoy it again. Thank you. ### 2/5 — Coloring book *2017-09-21, version 1.1* I would love this, except the spaces to color are way too small on a normal iPad--can't even get them accurately with a stylus. Bigger spaces, Boy Howdy, and you have a winner. ### 3/5 — Great App *2022-05-29, version 1.6* I loved this app at first. No buying anything and no ads! It has some problems. Some of the pictures will bleed because the lines are not solid so you cannot color those. Most of the images will not completely color in the entire color block. The color will not reach into the corners. And there are not any new pictures being added. ### 3/5 — Fun but.... *2021-01-26, version 1.5* Colors don’t stay it so it’s hard to make pic the hues you want ### 3/5 — relaxing coloring app *2020-05-30, version 1.4* fun, but you need internet connection after you finish a picture and want to switch to another picture to color ### 3/5 — Nice pictures *2020-02-09, version 1.4* I really like the majority of the pictures. I can think of a few things that would push the app over the top. Have different sizes of “brushes” to use to fill in small areas easier. Allow option to customize the colors more or create custom colors. The ability to zoom in more would also be useful. ### 3/5 — Coloring *2018-03-23, version 1.2* I ❤️ love the fact that everything is free no in app purches, but you can't make the picture big enough to color it all there are little spaces that you simply can not color... ### 3/5 — It's nice but not 'coloring' like I think of coloring *2017-09-17, version 1.1* It's a nice activity to do w/the little ones. It's coloring w/out worrying about staying in the lines. No crayons or pencils. Just your finger (or stylus) Touch a color then touch the segment of the picture. That segment turns the chosen color. You even pick the background color. Colors & choices galore. Family fun. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — To good to be true *2023-01-30, version 1.9* So so good try it now! So fun to color! ### 5/5 — Coloring book *2023-01-25, version 1.8* Just like all Boy Howdy programs works great. I like Boy Howdy because they work great, the ones I use are free but a reasonable price with no add ons would still be a great deal. ### 5/5 — 12/15/22. A great simulated pencil colorist *2022-12-15, version 1.6* Can’t go wrong with this app. ### 5/5 — I LOVE THIS GAME *2022-10-14, version 1.6* As it says in the title, I love this game because It’s ad-free and has many color options. Its amazing I would definitely recommend this for your children, your friends, your family, and you. This game has got me through hard times I downloaded this game when I lost my grandfather died he and I had a very close relationship and this game got throughout my times and I hope yours too. Download this game and tell your friends. ### 5/5 — Relaxation *2020-12-24, version 1.5* During these cold rainy days , I have been relaxing. Thank you and Happy new year !! ### 5/5 — Wonderful stuff *2020-08-10, version 1.4* Love it but I wish it could be made easier ### 5/5 — It passes my time... *2019-03-07, version 1.3* Fun ### 5/5 — Free *2019-01-23, version 1.3* There’s a lot of beautiful pictures in here to color,I gotta admit I have not had a chance to actually color it wanted me to review it right away lol I just hope that there’s a lot of colors and variations, gradients, just a butt load of colors!! I will return and let y’all know what I find, bahahaha ### 5/5 — Relaxation *2018-09-20, version 1.3* I love the different palette choices. Lots of colors and the challenge to use them in an unusual combination. ### 5/5 — Easy and fun!! *2018-07-01, version 1.3* For a free app, you can spend hours of creative entertainment. There are many palettes to choose from, and several pictures to select. The zoom feature is critical since I currently don't have an Apple Pencil, but works just fine. My only negative is that sometimes you can't fill in every area, but it's not a huge deal. The pictures are fun to save and share. I thoroughly enjoy this app and recommend it highly. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
