1. 3/5APP UPDATE REVIEW

   I signed up for the 7 day free trial that ends on August 2nd, but for the 7 days I have had zero access to the full content offered. It is exactly the same as if I’d never wanted to “try” this app. Took my money quick enough for the year subscription, then tells me that it won’t go into effect until the 2nd August. 😂😂 So, beware those that think they will get the free trial….you won’t. Will update review after being able to use this app with full content. Update…I do hope that someone reads this. Please. Idk how long I’ve been paying subscription costs for full use of this app. I love it though I think that’s the reason I keep paying for it even when I’m having issues like I am now. Hopefully I can explain this correctly. I’m a subscriber, I pay every quarter. For the last at least 3 months I have not had full access. What I mean is that everything loads fully colored. I’m able to collect coins and stars though but for colored pages I don’t get to color. The daily coloring I can do. Any new collection that is offered I can’t unless I reset the whole set. But even then it doesn’t work but for a couple then they start loading colored again. Is this making sense? Please, I really need this fixed. I’ve tried everything I know how to do. Help! lol

2. 1/5TOO many ADS!

   Wanted to try this because I really liked the concept. Unfortunately, it took me 5 mins to get past the sign-up for free trial page. Once I did that, I had to watch an ad to get the points for the painting I wanted to try. Every 1-2 mins of coloring led to another ad. Wow! Have tried several coloring apps in the last few days and this was by far the worst on frequent ads! Yes, filling in the colors with a stylus would be awesome if I could try it without being bombarded with ads. Most will give you an ad upon completion or when using up all the hints. Not this one. It was constant. Too bad, because I really wanted to try the free version before signing up for what appears to be the most expensive coloring ad I have encountered, so far. Not signing up for a free trial at $15 month when I am not even sure I will like this version of coloring. This was supposed to have a usable free version according to other reviewers who mentioned non-invasive and less frequent ads? Being interrupted with an ad literally every 1-2 mins minutes is a no-go for me. Had I really had a chance to try it, I might have signed up at that level, but I couldn’t get past the frequent interruptions to sit there and watch another ad. Sad, because this looks like it would be awesome without the frequent ad campaigns. They must have recently ramped up the ads because other reviewers mentioned they were not frequent or invasive.

3. 5/5Excellent app with excellent diversity

   Okay I usually don’t write reviews but this app is great. First of all, it’s the first one I found where you actually make the motions of painting instead of just tap to fill and if there are any bugs I haven’t noticed them. Second of all, I like how you can use coins to get the premium stuff at the end of a pack, and how a good 70% of the app is usable without it. I’ve seen so many where a subscription is absolutely necessary to get anything out of an app. Last but not least, DIVERSITY!!! Seriously, this is the first app I’ve seen to feature so many women of color. Usually you get mainly white women with the occasional black woman, but there are all races featured in this app. In fact most of the women ive seen aren’t white, or at least clearly white. I’ve even seen a few men, which you usually don’t see in these kinds of apps. I really appreciate that this app displays the beauty of all colors instead of just white people, because too many of these kinds of apps don’t. The only improvement I could think of would be an option to choose different pallets, especially for the landscapes. Like there’s one where it’s a mountain range primarily in shades of pink, and as pretty as it is I’d like so see it in blues or greens, but that’s honestly just nitpicking. All in all, fantastic app, completely recommend!

4. 4/5It’s ok

   So when you see that this is the app of the day you think it’s great and then read reviews most people really like it but that’s because they have the premium and I’m a kid and I don’t have a lot of money and my parents don’t pay for stuff I want so when I’m going to relax I’m not allowed to even do the daily picture!!! There’s probably even more stuff because I just got it but let me tell you the good stuff So I’ve never seen a color by number pile this so normally you just tap and that color cel is full but no this time when you tap the color cel you have a paintbrush and your getting the feeling that your actually painting. And that’s pretty much everything good to say but back to the bad stuff So when your coloring when you leave the app and come back let’s say someone calls you and you answer them when you come back you have to watch a whole bunch of ads for it to save your progress. Well since I just got it I don’t know all the things but thanks for reading this long review and I really want the developer to respond and can you put it do that you can see your finished work with the unfinished work and can you add less ads a cheaper premium like $2 a year or something and can you do challenges and last less things that need the premium thanks They responded quickly and now I know what to do

5. 2/5Frustrating coloring book

   This app is weird. I downloaded it because the App Store recommended it some time ago. Honestly, I think it's because of the $10 a month in app purchase. I think this is an art app, but it's more like a game. You randomly get stars, that you need to unlock coloring books, but only 2-4 pictures are unlocked per book. There is also another random occurrence that gives you gold coins, after watching some irritating ads. Those gold coins can be used to purchase the remaining pictures in the coloring book. But, for the monthly fee (which is insanely high) you apparently don't have these annoyances. For $120 you can buy a lot more real coloring books and art supplies (crayons, pens, pencils), especially if you go to the dollar store. I really wanted to like this app. The controls are weird, am I coloring, or scrolling? The app doesn't seem to know. Well, I guess I was near a section that needed to be filled in, so it seems to want me to do that instead of scrolling, but I wanted to be scrolling. The zoom level goes from super zoomed in (like a pixel in the painting is almost half the screen), to not quite far out. I'd like to see more on the page, but when you do that it shows you the picture with some animation, not really what I wanted. I downloaded this app to help me relax, but I think it just gets under my skin. YMMV.
