Contact Oil Painting Color Support

Update: The developers replied and said I should update the app, but I had already updated to the latest version when I wrote my review. All my completed images are still gone. Especially don’t like that the colors don’t advance once you finish one, but it’s obvious they want you tapping in the color area more often because the ad is right there. More tapping means more errant taps on the ads. Still like the end results, but the app is not as enjoyable as it was and I’m using it less.

This is my favorite coloring app. Just challenging enough to take a while, but not too hard, and a pretty pic at the end. (Although I never liked the obnoxious logo obscuring part of the picture when saving.) But the last update had the app constantly crashing, so I reinstalled and, like others, discovered all my completed pictures lost. Looking through the gallery, some that I had completed before are now premium, some are totally gone. Also, the find and fill hints dropped to 1 each. Hardly ever used those, so whatever. Honestly though, updates that take things away are just frustrating. The premium price is much too high and there are a couple of ads that give you a “close” button but nothing happens when you press it. Still my fave for the end result picture, but disappointed with recent changes. (Also, please stop the pop-up hints! No one needs those after the first two minutes.)

Update 2 - now not only is it not working well in the picture with the ads, but it crashes constantly. Could be a 5 star app but it needs some major fixing to even get back to a 3 star

Update: did the free 3 day trial and works much smoother on moving around the screen, so it must be their ads on screen that make it not as easy to use. If the cost was less to go ad free I would consider it, but it is way too overpriced as it is now in my opinion. The pictures themselves are great, with a great selection of free choices. The VIP pricing is ridiculous - a one time fee of $39 would be high, a monthly fee of that price is way too expensive. I don’t love the way that everything appears gray until you zoom way in, it makes it harder to find the selected color spots for no reason. I also get frustrated that it changes the color of the areas you touch that aren’t the color you use. All this does is make zooming in and moving around the pictures unnecessarily difficult. All in all, a good product that with a few tweaks could be great.

This game has been enjoyable for quite awhile, but I’ve been noticing some of the pictures have an extraordinary number of different colors in it, and most of these only color 1 or 2 spaces each. An example is the picture of three surfboards with a circular, blue background. There are 168 different colors in it. That wouldn’t necessarily be a bad thing if the color differences made some sense, but many of these nonsensical colors also appear to be repeats of colors that were used previously, elsewhere in the picture.
Maybe it’s more difficult because my eyesight isn’t the greatest, and even though hunting and finding the very tiny dots of color is OK when there are only a few of them, having to spend a lot of time finding them causes eye strain that’s really uncomfortable.
There have been other pictures, such as the horse with the beige colored eye, that are equally distracting and, since there’s no way to determine that prior to getting started on a particular painting, this app isn’t fun anymore. Again, I loved this app for a long time, but I’ll be deleting it.
