The colour learning doesn't stop there! Colourblocks World is packed with original makes and fun surprises along the way! COLOURBLOCKS helps children to see and understand colours in a brand new and exciting way. It's the story of a group of friends, who use Colour Magic to bring Colourland to life in the most vibrant way imaginable! COLOURBLOCKS uses the proven magic of Blocks to help young children dive into the wondrous world of colour. Developed in consultation with a global team of colour experts and packed with loveable characters, show-stopping songs, humour and adventure, the show delivers colour recognition, colour names, meaning and signifiers, mixing, mark making, similar and contrasting colours, light and dark and all kinds of patterns – and that’s just for starters. It's all designed to inspire young children to be Colour Explorers, discovering how the colours all around them work, whilst getting hands-on with colour themselves. Importantly, it's designed to instil a passion for colour in young children which they can take with them throughout life. COLOURBLOCKS WORLD has been carefully designed to support your child on their early colour learning adventure and provides an immersive digital milestone for children to engage with the Colourblocks. The paid subscription app is scaffolded to introduce children to colours in a particular order and helps children connect the concept of individual colours with how they might feature in the real world. Fundamentally, it gives children a foundation in colour, art and self-expression and enables them to get hands-on with colour through playing games, such as sorting colours, exploring light and dark, ordering colours and painting! "Colourblocks World is a fantastic new app, which takes children on an exciting learning journey exploring how colour really works. In addition, children can apply colour to different pictures and objects in the world, which encourages self-expression and so helps build confidence at this early stage of child development."

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Thinkrolls at 100% against Colorblocks World's 43%. Thinkrolls also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 11) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Colorblocks World's advantage is price (Free vs $89.99) and ratings volume (156 vs 3). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Colorblocks World is free to download; Thinkrolls costs $89.99 up front. Colorblocks World sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Thinkrolls asks for nothing beyond the download.
Colorblocks World holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Colorblocks World has 156 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Thinkrolls's written reviews are positive against 43% of Colorblocks World's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Thinkrolls ships an update every 2 months, Colorblocks World every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
