Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Mindful Ocean Coloring sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Ocean 4D+ sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Mindful Ocean Coloring holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mindful Ocean Coloring has 31 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of Mindful Ocean Coloring's written reviews are positive against 100% of Ocean 4D+'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Mindful Ocean Coloring ships an update every 5 weeks, Ocean 4D+ every 2 months. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
