Coloring Book Reviews

I like ColoringBook. Not perfect, but really, really good. (Perhaps a 4.5?) There is a wide range of art to color, from abstract to goofy to complex. Some of the art should have been tested before release: when the lines dividing sections of the picture are flawed, you get adjacent sections the same color, so you may get weird results. (Hmm, blue face, or tan sky?) In other cases it just challenges my resourcefulness. The range of hues and tints is limited and uneven, especially in lighter shades. But hey, it’s a free app, and they do keep adding new art!
I got a couple of coloring books from other sources, and they have LOADS more problems with incomplete borders between sections, and areas so small that you have to tap a dozen or so times before the program realizes you want to color that area. This book is WAY easier to use.

Add-on comment, October 2021
Thanks for continuing to update your coloring book. I continue to enjoy it, and appreciate the new pages you keep adding. The new pages that I’ve done are usually problem-free. I like this feature: If you want to reuse a color, but you don’t know which pale green or whatever it was, you can place your finger on that color in any picture, and it shows you in the color family it was picked from.

This is a great game over all but I think it could use a few more coloring pages. For example, the dragons category is very limited. It only has like 6 drawings. Another suggestion I have for this game is maybe you should put more options on the categories, what I mean by that is you should not have so many limited ones like the ones that have stats on them those I can never do because they are limited. The last thing this is not really a complaint but this is a suggestion. Ok think the players( people that play this game) should be able to do competitions and things like that like have a coloring competitions to try to show off their skills. I love this game over all and think it is great. This constructive criticism/ suggestions and do not take it personally. Keel up the amazing work. Once again I love this game!

This is what it says it is. Good range of pictures with a variety of size sections to fill with color. A couple of issues: 1. Wish the color choices included some gradients as a single color choice. It would give more life to finished colored pages. 2 Some sections with in the page aren’t completely closed in with the black outline — this causes two or more sections to be colored by the same fill choice. For instance, one might be coloring a heart red, but because it’s outline isn’t completely solid, the red will bleed into next section which could be something entirely different than a red heart, thus rather ruining effect one is going for. 3. Wish there were more designs that aren’t mandalas. There is quite a high percentage of mandalas compared to other pictures.

These issues are relatively minor. If you light coloring apps, this is a good choice.

Unlike so many coloring apps where the colors are predetermined, this one allows you to choose the colors you want to use. It has many different mandalas and other designs to color, which, along with the ability to choose the colors to use, makes it extremely relaxing and enjoyable for me.

Another plus for ColoringBook is that there are VERY FEW ads, and they are NOT long, loud, or obnoxious ads. Thank you, developers!

The only reason I gave ColoringBook 4 stars instead of 5 is that there need to be some additions or modifications to expand the number of different available colors. Some of the colors are almost identical, while other colors are missing - for example, there is no light pink color. If they revise the color palette to address these concerns, I will change my rating to a 5.

My friend showed me ColoringBook and she showed me another game called colorfy and I would definitely choose this because it is totally free unlike colorfy which you have to buy the pictures I have this four stars because the one flaw is that it does not have a lot of colors but that is not really that bad which is great it is super relaxing I use it a lot because slot of times I don't have any coloring books cause I color a lot I would definitely recommend this to anyone and everyone it is easy and you cannot mess up because you just tap to color which is great for people that have tremors because you actually don't have to use your hand to color you just tap which is easy unlike in coloring books which you actually have to use actually pens and stuff and cannot tap GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🦄💩🌈❤️😊🐰🍌🐻

Super easy to use. Tap to fill. Regarding color selection, really all it needs to be better imo are lighter/paler colors, and some skin tones perhaps, but other than that colors are fine. I’ve noticed that many of the pages are from other apps, and a few of the pages are problematic because either the lines don’t close up all the way in places, or for some reason it’s glitched to where the areas can’t be filled correctly and instead these thin horizontal lines show up. But hey, it’s free, what do you expect. Ads pop up after exiting every 2 or 3 pages, sometimes they won’t let me close them and I have to leave ColoringBook and open it again to make them go away, but not a huge hassle. You can color offline, just make sure to download the pages you want while you’re online.
There are other completely-free coloring apps with more features, they’re just marketed as kids’ apps, and if you don’t want to be caught dead coloring with a kiddie app this one is the way to go.

I have enjoyed ColoringBook on my iPad 2018 using my Apple pencil, but it only allows you to tap to apply the colors. I miss being able to use the Apple Pencil tip to actually color in between the lines as that gives you the feeling of actually coloring a coloring book. Of course, that, I’m sure, is a more complicated programming process and this is a free app. Considering that, this is a simple coloring app that does provide me with enjoyment and relaxation. I am sure that children of all ages will enjoy ColoringBook as it has many different types of coloring pages to choose from. There are very simple coloring pages on up to very complicated and intricate design pages. Something for everyone and every mood. There are 17 colors to choose from along the bottom of the screen, and when you tap on a color it gives you 17 shades of that color to choose from. So, essentially you have 289 colors to choose from in ColoringBook .

For the most part, this coloring app is addictive. I don't care for the "real" adult color booksbecause honestly too stressful, lol!! But ColoringBook is fun. There are a lot of color choices too. However, I do wish they had a real red and shades thereof, in addition to the more burgundy in tone. Nevertheless, am happy with the range of colors. The only real complaint is the some of the color pages do not "work"... like one of the cupcake pages... no matter where i hit, i cannot color the sections... the entire page turns the color i pick. I have noticed little areas of other pages do the same thing... ie, u go to color one part of a lotus and a whole section turns that color (regardless of the lines/boundaries). All that said, I am not trying to be Manet or Rembrandt, so is a fun way to relax.

This is an awesome game! It is kid friendly and you have such a wide selection of coloring sheets. There are different themes and from there you choose a coloring sheet of the theme you chose. Ads barely pop up and when they do it says open or close. You don’t even need to watch a video which is nice. One thing I would change is the amount of colors. Although they have every color in the rainbow I would hope they could make it so you can mix colors. With the colors you can change the shade of each color to your preference. Another great thing is you can upload the picture you colored into your photos so you can redo the coloring sheet multiple times. I love this game and it keeps me busy when I’m bored or anxious. I am so glad I got this game and I don’t regret it. The best thing about it is that it is totally free of charge.

After searching for the perfect free coloring game forever, I found it!!!!!! And it's the best. I love that I get to color all the categories completely for free! But I do have some suggestions: Add a dog theme, add being able to use paintbrush, more colors, an instrument theme (because even though I've never played any I'll still have fun coloring them! 😋) So, ColorFree, I thank you for this awesome stress relieving game (I need that!)

Ok so I still love this. I found a glitch, though. This one coloring page, a cupcake, won’t let me just color one part. I zoom in to color tiny parts, but it ends up being the entire page. This is the only one that did that to me. All the others are fine. What happened? I really want to actually get to color it! 😭

OMG I LOVE ColoringBook!!!! I just got it very recently and fell in love. There are so many pictures to color and it really is free! I expected there to be subscriptions to unlock stuff but nope! All free! The pages are so adorable and addictive. I would spend hours doing this if I had the time. There’s also so many colors to choose from. Some other coloring apps that I downloaded didn’t have many colors to choose from, that is without paying money for it. There’s so many pretty shades. The only thing that I would do better for ColoringBook is advertise it more. I was looking for some coloring apps and I happened to find this one. Or else I would have never gotten ColoringBook. This is a great app that you should totally download!

I absolutely love this game, it’s a little addicting but super fun. I love how you can choose different categories. And the ads? What ads?? The ads are at the top of the screen so the don’t interfere with your coloring. The only ad I see is the one after you exit out your masterpiece, which you can exit out of immediately. But for the backgrounds you can only color it, I think it would be cool if we could add photos or at least color it with multiple colors. Let’s take the Christmas one for instance, ( the one with the merry Christmas letters and gloves ) It would be cool if I could add a close up picture of a furnace with stockings. Also it kind of annoying when you use a color, then use a different color, Then you lost the first color you were using. So, I think it would be useful if there was a way you could click on the color you used, then it would take you to the color. That’s pretty much all..bye! SHREK

I've tried a ton of color apps because I have a 4yo who loves to color and draw, and this is the best app, free or paid, that I have found. There are no color page packs to buy for a zillion dollars, and the ads aren't strategically placed so that you accidentally tap on them when you don't want to. Besides that, the ads are for useful items, not flashy expensive games that would lure my daughter into a fit for not being able to have them. The pages are various, some very detailed for when you want that, and some more simplistic for when you just need something to focus on to kill time. I have it on my own phone as well as my daughter's tablet and spend my lunch coloring and listening to audiobooks. Very relaxing.

This FREE app allows you to color, STRESS FREE, WITHOUT annoying ads popping up continually, and when one does decide to pop-up, after COMPLETION, you actually have the choice to close the ad immediately!!! There is a very tiny banner at the top of the page with an advertisement however, it’s NOT obtrusive and or distracting at all! Having ADHD this is very annoying with some other apps, which I’ve deleted even after paying for “no-ads” I still get them! I really miss the days, when you could just purchase ColoringBook up front and you were done…NO ridiculous monthly fees, and or wasting time being forced to watch ads, so you can continue the game, or coloring a picture! It only takes away the reason why I’m wanting to color, or play a game.. to relieve my stress and anxiety, instead it intensifies it…
A NO STRESS, just a simple and nice temporary escape.. from ColoringBook, THANK YOU!

There are many other coloring books for adults out there, and this book has become my all-time favorite. I appreciate that some pictures are very detailed and complicated and when I’m in the mood for some deep focus time, I can work a beautifully intricate picture and burn off some real creative energy. There are also some relatively easy pictures, so if I just need a quick burn, I can chose one of the easier pics to color. This is also a very thick coloring book, with lots and lots of pictures and a large variety of themes to chose from. Mechanically, the colors and pictures are flawless to use, I have not experienced any issues or grumpiness. Very user friendly, thank you for this coloring book, it helps to calm me down when I need it!

I love this coloring app. I have downloaded so many different coloring apps trying to find one that I could actually get a large variety of free pages to color. With most of these types of apps, I kept running into the same issue over and over. Each time I would try a new one, I could only get maybe 2 or 3 free pages per category. I feel like it’s false advertising to promote a certain kind of application yet it’s actual purpose is hidden behind a forest of pricey subscriptions. Thankfully, when I opened “Coloring Book”, there were so many categories of pages to color, not only that, they were all free! This is exactly what I was looking for in a coloring app. and it had the goods, exactly as advertised in the description. There were no hidden fees or agendas, no pay-per-page nonsense and with a diverse selection of pages to color at that! Highly recommend!! Thank you!!!

This game would be so fun if you could take a picture of something and color it. Or there could be an animal pack 🦒 🦔 🦓. But my only complaint is that when I press on the thing to color it doesn’t work and this isn’t like that through the whole puzzle 🧩 and there should be more packs of things to color, but I am not running out of things to color!!!!! But so ya this game is so fun it is a good time burner and it is so relaxing 😌 I love this game it is just the best and I really recommend that you get it👍👍👍👍( edit) another thing is that there should be a choice is to tap to color it or you could just simply tap! And my last thing is that there should be a color tablet so that you could have different colors in different shades

ColoringBook is such a stress reliever and it's really relaxing to just sit back and just color all day on ColoringBook. I love it how ColoringBook 's color choices are ALL FREE than the other coloring book apps. And it gives you so many variations of coloring books like food, mandalas (personal favorite), animals and so much more. I just got ColoringBook and I'm almost done with my first mandala coloring book. The best part is that it's really simple and easy to fix mistakes. A pre schooler can do it! All of the coloring books that ColoringBook provides you with are all free! If you want to finish your masterpiece afterwards, it will automatically save your coloring so you won't worry about redoing the art work from the beginning ( if you don't like your color scheme before, there's also a reset button provided ). And to top all of the positives about this outstanding, terrific coloring app, it's free!

I don’t usually jump on this quick to rate/review, but I’ve used several of the other coloring apps out there. The ones that have gone subscription base or require in-app purchases to unlock the full potential. I’m on a tight budget, and like using coloring apps to unwind or while I’m waiting for appointments, etc. ColoringBook is easy to use, has a decent variety of colors (for free!), and very minimal pop-up ads. (The majority are in a thin banner above your art, other than when you exit your artwork to choose something else. And so far, none of those seem to be the data hog “play this other addicting matching game with in-app purchases” that run for 30 seconds or more before letting you X out.) So kudos to the developers for providing a coloring app w/ a nice, simple interface and tons of free, interesting pictures/designs to color! Thank you!

I am pleased to have just created my first-ever, “coloring drawing.” I had heard this activity was calming, so I tried out one other free app which I disliked and deleted immediately . Then, I tried this free app. ColoringBook and activity are easy, fun and allowed me to relax enough to grab a bit more shut-eye. Now I’m up and writing this post before I drink my coffee and listen to the Sunday morning TV shows about this unprecedented week. I will need a strong cup of joe and all that calm w good sleep as my family heads into day 3 of our family’s formal social distancing. I sent the final “drawing” to my extended family who are also social distancing in their homes because ColoringBook makes sending easy, too. Right away after receiving my “coloring,” my sister thanked me —-which I assume means she will download it, too! I recommend this simple, amusing activity!

ColoringBook has some great coloring books, from simple to very ornate. New books come out regularly. Choice of one set of colors.
Okay, have had ColoringBook a few weeks now, and I am actually really pleased with the variety of picture choices available. Frequent updates is helpful. This is helping keep me sane, as I attempt to potty train puppies.😋. Am updating my review, am even happier with ColoringBook. New pages are placed frequently and I love all the variety. Potty training isn’t progressing quickly but at least I have my coloring book😂still working on the potty training, and coloring whenever possible. Updates are regular. Excited at seeing some holiday pages!still doing well, have had it for a few months now. Updated: have had ColoringBook for quite awhile and am very pleased still. This never gets old due to the variety of pages and colors! I highly recommend ColoringBook, it is great!

😻 I have tried all the free coloring apps and most want you to pay, but not this one!! I like this one better anyways. There is lots to color and all the colors are free (there are tons of different hues to choose from)!!! My only suggestion would be to have the option, for those who love coloring in real life, to be able to actually color in the shapes with a finger or stylus, so that it feels a bit more like coloring. Instead of just tapping. And even being able to color on top of other colors to allow blending (sort of). I think that would be fun! I hope you can add that in the future! Great app guys!!! I don't mind looking at the ads at all because I know that's how you keep it free! And they aren't annoying anyways. 😻 love it!

When I got ColoringBook, I thought that it would be a just Mandala Designs....BUT there are different coloring book groups. For example, there is the different types of Mandala Designs but also there are Flowers, Garden, Love, For You, Lotus, Exotic Garden, Sweet Home, Interior, Chairs plus more categories.
It is very simple, just tape to color. There is a undo button, clear button, and a back button and save/share button. Even when you hit the back arrow to look for more interesting designs, it will save your work so you can go back to coloring. Most important of all is.. NO PAY!! In some coloring apps, you have to pay monthly, yearly, or weekly. Not for ColoringBook. Everything is FOR FREE. ColoringBook will take time away from you while enjoying it to.
