Paint with Armando is a free painting app for phone and tablets. Paint free or colour in one of the many illustrations. No Ads or in-App purchases, 100% free. Developed with the help of The Great Armando, one of the world most celebrated children's entertainers. The Armando promise "There are so many things vying for our attention these days: phones, tablets, TVs, laptops. It's hard to find a moment to just be present. But it's even harder for our kids. They're growing up in a world where technology is everywhere, and it's hard for them to find a break from it all. That's why I created the Armando Promise: a series of apps that are free from ads, in-app purchases, and distractions. I want kids to be able to enjoy their childhood and be present in the moment. I want them to be able to use technology: mindfully." — The Great Armando
