Adult Coloring Book - Coloring Book for Adults Reviews

This "Free" app with in app purchases, is not at all free really.
At the end of the free trial, not only do you lose access to their "premium" content (which is ALL content aside from awful daily pages), but they actually deny you access to any and EVERYTHING you started coloring during the trial period.
Whether you finished it or not!!!
What the hell kind of 💩 is that??!!

I was actually thinking of getting a regular subscription, but I was going to wait until payday. In the meantime I wanted to work on the few I started but didn't finish yet.
NOPE!! 😧
In the "My Art" section, it shows all the pages I have started and/or finished. However, when I click on ANY of them, it prompts me to PAY for a subscription. 😠

In the end, they did me a favor by being so greedy as to not allow me to finish the pages I started. 🖕🏼🖕🏼
I ended up browsing the other coloring apps and not only did I find less expensive subscription based coloring apps, but they are also FAR BETTER.
Better quality pages.
Better color options.
Better (and MORE tool selections).
BETTER FREE PAGES, that are actually free!
I even found TOTALLY free coloring apps that are so much better than this one.

So thanks "Adult Coloring", your actions have led me to better choices and prevented me from wasting my money on yours! 👍🏻

I thought this was a fun app. I enjoyed using it when I was bedridden, and continued to do so after I had recovered. It was exciting to see how other artists had colored the new picture that was posted at 11am every day. Sometimes they did forget. Artists on AdultColoringBook can like another artists picture, you can also post your pictures on Facebook or Instagram to get more likes. There were also cute little messages that some artists would add to their pictures where you could sign with your name or some kind of symbol. Okay so for the past month or so, I see messages from some artists, calling other artists CHEATERS. They are bullying artists that they don't like? That get more likes than them? For what ever reason, they are bad sports, and AdultColoringBook administrator does nothing to stop this! Lighten up people this is supposed to be fun and relaxing.

AdultColoringBook has significant problems. For example, after the last update, all of my votes dropped to zero, and I cannot access the Recent or Trending galleries anymore. You will get along ok for weeks, then suddenly BAM some new huge problem. Your pictures you worked so hard on are all ruined or all of your votes are lost or it’s always something awful. Moreover, they never add new pictures to color. Ever. They give you a sad, horrible daily picture to color and that’s it. The same daily pictures are recycled/reused over and over and over again. I wish so much these problems did not occur because when it’s all working, it has been a good stress relief. I can not however recommend it with so many major issues.

I bought AdultColoringBook a long time ago and it started out good but isn't anymore. There are never new colors and no gradients, and besides the one daily there are no new designs. It crashes all the time if it will open at all. When it does open it takes several tries. It's one thing to have problems with a free app, but I bought the whole thing and it's barely usable now. It needs immediate fixes for crashing and a lot of new designs and colors. I use coloring apps a lot and if this one worked properly I would be willing to buy gradient and custom color add-ons. For the time being I have gone to the Color Therapy app and unless this one improves soon I will delete it and discourage anyone from paying for it.

The swip/slam noise that it makes while choosing colors is NOT pleasant to me. There is no way to change or shush these sounds. in short if you are trying to keep yourself relaxed in hiding and noise will be any issue at all then don't recommend this one.

There does not appear to be any way to slowly earn art openings as there is to slowly earn palettes of color.

I returned to AdultColoringBook after ditching it because something in it was precisely what a friend needed - just line art, just color, can tell what type an image is - BUT it is just not suited to me.

by Elflingsmama

I love the whimsical artwork and the variety of colors to choose from. Viewing others' artwork and being able to share my own is a nice feature, and so easy to do! I gladly paid $6 to open everything; it was well worth the money.
ETA: that was from a year ago. There was no subscription then, unlike every other coloring app out there. I wouldn't pay for a subscription for what I'm getting. I still really enjoy it, but there hasn't been any new content in ages. Just the dailies, which recently have been pictures recycled from a year ago.

** AdultColoringBook only works if you are connected to the internet and signed into AdultColoringBook Store. If you are on airplane mode, or signed out of AdultColoringBook Store (or both), you will NOT be able to access any of the images, including your own completed work.**
Tech support from the creators is slow at best, if you receive any response at all.
That said, the images are pretty, there's a nice variety; a very good range of colors; and some nice effects.
Frankly, if I hadn't paid to unlock AdultColoringBook , I'd abandon it for a different one, but since I can't get a refund, I'll keep using it for now.

I was asked to review AdultColoringBook. I have been using it for some time and actually LOVED IT, until I go to click on Get Inspiration from others (that have just done the coloring). In AdultColoringBook most people are fighting to have their picture displayed here for show.
*The maker of AdultColoringBook is choosing to put pictures in here that are not even close to being completed
*I checked on all of the chapters (which I purchased) and many even the ones without needing to purchase more, only have 3 pictures to look at for these “Inspirational Ideas”.
* Before I ever purchased all the color palettes and books, There is one color palette (Earth) that continually said “ FREE AFTER 4 pictures”… it would never change, no matter what! This was a disappointment.
BOTTOM LINE: there are thousands of people that really want their pict displayed under the “Inspirational Tips/Ideas” This goes a long way in them wanting to KEEP your app and feel great about their art work.
2) offering 1 more color pallet without purchase would be nice?
This isn’t a bashing review but a helpful critic. I love AdultColoringBook and will keep using it.
Respectfully, Me 😇

This game is great sometimes it might get annoying when it takes long but do you want a masterpiece or a child’s art piece?? This game is fun a lot but I do wish there wasn’t a price to get to chapter 2. I was forced to give this game 3 stars because the first star is if it’s fun and it is so 1, 2nd star is if it has a good amount off adds and it doesn’t have any so check! 3rd star is if it the title of the game is actually good check, 4rth is if it has a reasonable pass and it doesn’t so x, and last if it’s overall good and it isn’t exactly so maybe you might not get this game if you don’t have spare money for a pass.

Initially AdultColoringBook offered free upgrades the more you used it. It does seem now that the developers are more interested in making money than offering a great product. It costs nearly $30 for the "full product" for one year or a subscription for a recurring monthly cost. The color pallets offered with the downloaded app are limited, as are the pictures offered, but you can purchase more.
With previous versions (a couple of years ago) I was offered a free upgrade to the full product.

It is fun,therapeutic, and a great way to pass time however not as great as it used to be.

by AnneCandelaria

I am still undecided on whether or not I like AdultColoringBook, very few apps allow you to choose your own colors (they’re mostly color by number) so that is ONE thing AdultColoringBook has going for it but I don’t think we should have to pay for different colors other than the very basic ones here for free. I totally understand that these apps need to make money to keep them running but I’d rather see like 10 or 15 really cool pics that you would have to pay for versus having to pay for the colors you want to use and that would make up the difference

AdultColoringBook am I opinion is kind of expensive $23 and change for one year. I’m an elderly woman and I find it very calming especially with the music and I love the ability to create texture to the picture. I am still am I a free week but I think I’m going to buy a year. It keeps me very calm for long periods of time. I would say this is enjoyable and soothing especially when somethings on your mind and you need to let it go. This type of play keeps your focus on right now not your past or your future but just what you’re doing right now and that can be a big benefit in many situations. Happy new year everybody 2022!

I love AdultColoringBook. Easy to use. Lots of choices. Wide palate to work from. I also enjoy sharing my work on the gallery. My only complaint is that the program allows people to re-post MULTIPLE works on the gallery. This results in the same artists posting the same pictures over and over just to collect likes. Some posters put up 10 or 15 repeated pictures with hundreds , or even thousands of likes, filling the gallery. This results in everyone else getting pushed out of the gallery before their art can be seen by anybody. I’ve shared art on the gallery and had it pushed off in less than a minute by the same 2 or 3 artists who have re-posted many pictures that already have high numbers of likes. It just doesn’t seem fair. I realize this isn’t AdultColoringBook designer’s fault, hence the 5 stars. But I wish they would limit how many posts an artist could make in an hour, or how many time a piece can be reposted, or something like that. Just keep it fair.

I found AdultColoringBook like 7 years ago or so. I’ve tried many other similar apps that all had one thing in common....none of them had a feature for sharing your creation that can be liked by other users...being able to have people view your work is why I have been using it all this time. Years ago when I first got AdultColoringBook all the colors were free, there was always daily new pictures to color and you had access to the first few pictures in each book category.. which was more pictures offered for free then any other app. I still have that original app on my old iPad and it has remained the same all this time. As far as the lack of color choices ..... the more pictures you do and share the more color pallets get available for free. If there is a better coloring book app that has a sharing gallery for free, please leave a review cuz I’d love to check it out.

I’ve tried so many coloring book apps and I was always disappointed until I found this one. This is my favorite!! The free pages are fun and good variety of free colors. If you pay the annual $20, there are so many colors and books to choose from. I love the henna and Mandela coloring books the best. They’re beautiful and fun to color. I like that it has soundscapes to listen to and that you can change your page to different textures. Can’t wait for some new pages and colors!

by RobertJudy

After trying about six adult coloring this is one of the best. People complain about the cost but all the better coloring palettes are doing the same. Better selection of colors, gradations, and quality palettes require more programming skills. The really exciting final results are from higher quality coloring options. I am willing to pay a fee if I am more gratified with the results and can take pride in my experimentation of colors. That is what this is all about in any course.

I’ve been using AdultColoringBook for over a year and I absolutely love it. The only aspect I’d like to see changed is I’d love to be able to get more colors for free. I think it would be nice if one could unlock pallets in stages. For example, one colors X number of pictures with the standard pallet and unlocks a new color pallet. With each amount of pictures colored to complete each level, a new pallet would unlock permanently. Otherwise I absolutely love AdultColoringBook. Keep up the awesome pictures and categories!

I have had NUMEROUS, NUMEROUS coloring app's on my phone & iPad the lt couple of years. Hi is one of my favorites. I DO WISH, more colors and effects would take it to the next level. I would never cancel my subscriptions as I do now every few months. Hope the developers are listening. I consider myself some ht of expert on all the different adult coloring apps, because I have had 98% of them from iTunes. And 99% of he I paid at least 1 month subscriptions. Which as you know has cost me hundreds and hundreds of $'s. Check it out

I have only used AdultColoringBook for an hour or so, but so far I like it. I wish there were more free colors, or another way to get them besides paying.

Update: After using AdultColoringBook for a couple weeks, I loved it so much that I paid for full access. One of the best decisions I ever made! 😍😀

Update: I have been using AdultColoringBook for over 1.5 years, and still love it. The daily picture keeps things exciting because you never know what it will be. I also like being able to color the same picture 5 times before needing to delete. I also like being able to save my pictures to my phone or tablet, so if I have to delete, I still have my completed pictures. 😃

I really have no idea what all the bad reviews are about! I’ve had AdultColoringBook for almost 3 years and I still use it! It didn’t have much for the “free” selection so I bought the full app. I’m not sure what people are saying about the commenting or how you have to pay for a subscription plan. Maybe they have changed that since I bought but when I did I paid a one time price of $9.99 and it unlocked every palate, and all the books, EVERYTHING!!! I don’t buy many apps for myself. So for me to have purchased this was saying something. I very much enjoy it and I feel like everyone else will to. Some kids I nanny for love it as well and will help me color some or just play on it before they go to bed.

I use AdultColoringBook daily, multiple times. I really love it but there is plenty room for improvement. A few suggestions....

1. Color palettes should be FREE
2. The ability to make custom colors
3. The ability to save said custom colors
4. Ability to color multiple geometric areas at once, e.g. Petals on a flower, regular patterned areas, change the number of color points to fit the pattern, 4,6,8, etc..
5. Ability to "offset" the color point to in front of your finger; thus giving more control of where you are coloring.
6. Ability to shade areas and not just fill with a solid color.
7. Focus on getting more items to color and less on charging for different colors.
8. Spirograph feature where you can make, save & color your work.

If you want to color AdultColoringBook will not disappoint! Just needs some tweaking.

Nice app! Designers made it mistake proof. You can move the picture without coloring by accident. The colors that are free are nice. I was able to get another palette of colors for free, very generous of them. The pictures are pleasant. I really like the ambient sounds; birds, water, music and more. The sounds enhance the relaxing feeling coloring gives you. The textures are fun to add after you finish coloring. I don’t care about posting my pictures, this is just for fun. Download it and enjoy for yourself.

I love to use AdultColoringBook because some other coloring books apps you have to buy something or sign up for something to get all the pictures and color them but AdultColoringBook does not do that every single one of the pictures are beautiful and nice and you can Color all of it it’s free to you don’t have to buy it and that’s good for me because most games are not free so that’s why I love this game so much
