### 5/5 — Don’t like

*2026-09-14*

Bring back watercolor & oil painting game, these are extremely ugly pictures and leaves no desire to mess with. Count me out.

### 3/5 — Difficulté

*2026-01-20*

Je n'arrive pas à distingué sur ce que je doit toucher. C'est le seul petit truc qui cloche sinon l'application est très bien. ☺️

### 3/5 — Mal aux yeux

*2025-03-31*

Dommage que le fond soit si sombre, quand on appuie sur chaque numéro. C’est difficile de distinguer la cible, quand les couleurs sont foncés. D’autres applis ont choisi de mettre un quadrillage bleu clair, repérable rapidement. Ici, on se fait mal aux yeux. Ce qui va limiter les coloriages sur cette appli. Et c’est dommage parce que les images sont belles !

### 1/5 — Is not consistently syncing with my WiFi.

*2024-04-22*

Every other tech tool and app has no problem.  Cannot access any of the Daily pictures.

### 1/5 — The flow is not good

*2023-09-05*

The color 6 is always black and the picture at the end looks unfinished.

### 5/5 — Water colour. Yes

*2023-02-25*

Better results than some others .  Once you get going it is great.   The second you walk away or turn it off.     Lots of adds to fight through to get back ,    It is free thom thanks

### 1/5 — No directions on how to use

*2022-09-23*

I cant find any directions on how to use

### 2/5 — Glad I didn’t purchase app!

*2022-06-23*

For over a week, I have been unable to access the daily pictures. The dotted circles just keep going around and the pictures won’t open. I am glad I didn’t purchase this app. I was excited about this app to begin with, but it definitely needs some major work!

### 2/5 — What

*2022-04-05*

Nothings load8ng

### 5/5 — Fix The Pictures Please!

*2022-03-13*

The first day of winter in 2021 was December 21.
On that day, what was supposed to be greyscale images with small numbers instead are disguised every day as floating dots.

It’s been that way ever since. But there are still over 700 pictures to color before the pictures that never were and it’ll take about a year to finish.  Is it possible to get those pictures after December to work?
