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.

The creators made the game free just to trick you. Right when you open the app, it asks you to buy premium. Which is a 10 dollar a month subscription. Just to be able to get all the painting right off the bat. If you don’t do premium, you are forced to do the paintings in order, want to do a pretty dessert first? Too bad, you need to do pink flowers. And even after you do a painting, you need to wait 2 hours to do the next one. But you can go to the next one instantly if you buy premium! Stupid. Have fun emptying your bank account for something digitally when you can go out and buy paint, paintbrushes, and canvases for a longer project that you can display on your walls. And you don’t need to spend 10 dollars a month for a 3 minute project. Or wait 2 hours to make another painting. And you can make any painting you can think of, instead of being limited to a few weird blocky drawings you might not even want to paint. And the paint and paintbrushes will last longer. And that stuff isn’t that expensive and you could probably buy it all at a dollar store for decent enough quality. Anyway, I hope you now have changed your mind about wasting your time and money.

I like the app for the most part but it has some things I would like to change or see improved. It was hard to find an app that actually lets you “color” the sections rather than tap and fill it in. This app lets you “color” but once you fill the section 80%ish of the way it fills in the rest. I kinda wish it wouldn’t do that, this is what I’m looking to do after all and I don’t want the help. Also, it really wants you to get the free trial and pay them, eventually, for more pictures to color. It has what looks like a coin system (I’ve been getting coins for completing parts of the pictures) so why can’t I use those coins or points to purchase more pictures? I have to wait for one to become available, usually when a timer is up, or I have to color a picture I’m not interested in coloring for another to be available, and even that one I usually don’t want to color. I don’t get to pick the pictures I want to color, it’s a “take it or leave it” situation. So I give this app a 2 star rating because I think it’s pretty controlling on the app developer side on what I can/cannot do, but I like that I can “color” the pictures.
