Paint by Number Oil: Hey Color Reviews

I love Paint!! These types of apps help me with my slowing down my anxiety throughout the day. I’ve tried many different ones, but this one is the most useful to me! I don’t mind having to watch an ad every here or there, I’m just glad that we have tons of pictures to color for free in result! The artwork is beautiful and I love that it is separated in different categories.

I do have 2 suggestions, though. First, It would be cool if there was a “random” button where, if you clicked it, you would get a random picture to color from any category! Lastly, being the type of person who needs to be organized to function, it would be nice if when after you complete a picture, it is “archived” from the category in which it falls under, and moved to the corresponding completed category in your completed pictures!

These are merely suggestions, and even if they are not fulfilled, I will still continue to be 100% satisfied with Paint!! Thank you developers!

I have been playing this game for a really long time. It is amazing how you finish it and it looks so real with the shades, the colors that pop out, and the ones that mix in too!
I am guessing that the editors of this game had put a lot of hard work into this game. At first, I thought this game would be like any other pixel art game. But I was wrong!! Yes, it may cut out, or log you out, but it really is a wonderful art game!
Face it. We all love having time on our phones, computers, iPads, and sometimes, even iPods. Some people play battle games like, Fortnite, Battlelands, war robots, or other games some people have never heard of. But some people don’t ever sit down, open a calming app, like this game, and play it for a couple of hours. I am glad you made this game so I could be one of the people that does exactly the opposite.
Therefore, I would not consider this a game. I’d consider it a calming, relaxing, art app.
Especially, in this crisis, we all need a app to let all our worries and anxiety go at one point. There are many games where you can do this, but about three years ago, I got this game and fell in love with it.
Many people aren’t to good at art, and this game doesn’t let you draw anything.
Some people may say this game is dumb or stupid, but for me it is the opposite. Thanks for letting me and my mind go crazy over this game and how good it is. Super relaxing game. I highly recommend it to everyone.

I like Paint a lot but since the last update you can’t tap on the picture in the part where the video play button shows up even when the button isn’t there. It’s like that space was reserved just for the button but the devs forgot to make it clickable for when the button isn’t there. It would be nice if the icon were placed up higher next to the magnifying glass maybe, in a place where you can’t accidentally click on it when it does show up. I can’t count the times I’ve clicked on the video by accident because I was trying to tap on a numbered space and the play button appeared and I was taken to a video ad. Lastly, if that top row could be reserved just for those icons (the < button, the video button, and the magnifying glass) and have the very top of the picture start just below, it would be nice too so that none of those are covering areas that you’re trying to color.
Otherwise, I spend a lot of time with Paint as coloring is very relaxing, and I enjoy the new pictures every day.

I really like these color by number games and I played one pretty well known one that has a ton of reviews currently on Paint Store for a little bit, but ended up deleting it after a short while cause it just wasn’t that interesting enough. I’m an artist myself and it bothered me that a lot of these color by number apps just don’t have good, artistic enough images that I would like upon completion.

‘Hey Color’ by far is the most superior color by number app I’ve ever played. My favorite part is that it automatically jumps to the next number once you’re done coloring all the needed spots in. No more tapping the number and then the corresponding number on the image, which I find quite annoying and bothersome.

I’ve actually saved several images that I found absolutely lovely. I love landscape scenery very much and it’s nice that for once, I can actually find some beautiful pictures here!

One suggestion I have is when you are zooming in hard to fill in a small area, I would like it if the image itself was still in high quality instead of getting pretty blurry. For comparison purposes, the Happy Color app still allows you to see the lines clearly when you are zooming in completely.

Overall, I HIGHLY recommend the $15 for an ad-free experience. It is absolutely worth it. Don’t let a single ad interrupt you from your coloring!

Paint used to be family-friendly, my young child and I would play it all the time. Now there are completely inappropriate, adult-themed content, like a half-dressed, disheveled pregnant woman with 5 o’clock shadow getting cut legs while shaving and a disturbing powdered face before the “x” even appears to skip the ad; and Snow White with her panties down on the toilet in a hidden pictures ad. Sure, I could pay for Paint to eliminate the ads, but
why am I going to give money to a developer that advertises their app as appropriate for users 4+ when it allows such content to assail them? While i know the developer is not responsible for the content of the advertisers who purchase the ad space from them, they should at least be vetting it if they want to claim their app is child-friendly.
Furthermore anyone on a tight budget like i am doesn’t have $15 to spare on an app. $5 maybe in a good week. So thank you for taking an opportunity for some simple, nice, and free fun away from me and my young child. As if life isn’t challenging enough right now.
I further request these ads and any like them of a violent, explicit, and/or sexual nature be removed.
Thank you.

Love this coloring app... the best. Can you please add a settings button for sound or no sound. I like to listen to my Audible book or music while I color. The pop sound is just too annoying. I have colored so much of your collection of animals... almost all of them!! I like the specials with animals. Looks so real. I’m not good at the magic, though. I am a female who loves dogs or just animals! Can you have some more pix with German Shepherds or American Bullies? I love these dogs along with the Golden Retrievers!!! I have never left a review for s game, even if I liked it, but I had to 5- star you! I would really like a setting for the sound, please!!! I would pay monthly or yearly if it could cut out the ads!!! Maybe after coloring 5 or so pix, you could get 1 hint. Those ads, the long ones, are too long!! Just an idea!! Great app!!! I recommend this to everyone!!!!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I’ve been on a color-by-number obsession recently, so I’ve been testing different apps since I can’t go out to the stores and buy coloring books. I got an ad for Paint and decided to try it, and I’m already in love from coloring 3 pictures! Paint avoids a lot of the pitfalls that make me HATE most other coloring apps. All the images are free (meaning that I don’t have to deal with 80% of the content being locked behind a monthly paywall, which always makes me delete Paint immediately), the content is plentiful and updated frequently, and the ads are skippable and not so frequent that I end up annoyed. Even then, I’m considering paying to block the ads just so I can support the devs. Keep up the good work, and thank you for creating an app I can stay with that doesn’t depend on intrusive ads and squeezing monthly payments out of its users💕

Paint itself is great. Love the pictures and all of that. However, the amount of ads they force you to watch is absolutely ridiculous. Far more than any other free app I’ve ever used. They will force you to watch 3 30+ second ads back to back when first opening Paint or after you’re done coloring. I guess that’s their way of trying to force people into paying for it, but all it did was make me delete it. It didn’t start out this way. They did a few ads here and there, but the longer I used it, the more and more ads they make you watch. It’s ridiculous and frustrating. After sitting through almost 2 minutes of ads straight, you don’t even want to use it anymore. Ridiculous

Update: The recent update has the new pictures randomly popping up in the middle of the category it's associated with instead of at the top. How are we suppose to know there’s a new pic to color, can you please fix??
I really love Paint and I have become addicted, but almost every month or two the developer changes things in Paint and it’s really starting to become annoying.
While I’m glad that we no longer have to watch video’s or complete numerous puzzles to earn hints, I don’t like all the changes that have occurred in the last year on how we maneuver through the categories.
I’m not a fan of newest update. I don’t like how you have to scroll and select each category to find out what categories have new photo’s. I only enjoy certain categories and the way they were set up previously worked for me.
If I can make a suggestion, I would love if we could arrange our own categories in the order we like to color them so our least favorite categories are listed last. Then I would give Paint 5 stars.

I was really enjoying this game, but the game forced an update by developers the other day and it took away the magnifier buttons. The one that works as an automatic hint and the one at the bottom by the color palette. The one on the bottom was a really REALLY huge help in finding certain sections that may have been too small to find without having to use a hint from the top. I really enjoyed that feature and now it’s gone and now I’m stuck with the new hint system which I hate SO MUCH. It does absolutely nothing and you still have to watch a ridiculous amount of ads to gain them where as you could just literally use the energy to help with hints. The point system for that was such a great feature. Especially since it gave 20 points at a time which can rack up a lot of energy quickly. Now it’s gone. This isn’t much fun for me anymore and it’s just a little more stressful rather than relaxing like it was for me. And I really needed a game to help with my mental health.

I love this coloring app. Love the detailed and challenging pictures but most of all, I love the animation speed. Other apps make the animation speed so fast and it aggravates me. Please don’t change the speed of your animation. This has turned into my favorite coloring app.

Update!
Still love Paint and the intricate pictures and ABSOLUTELY LOVE the ones that animate with NO LINES. It is cool to watch it animate with no lines. Please add more of those!!!! Also, just a suggestion, but it would be awesome if the touch was a little more sensitive. The very small parts are sometimes a little difficult to get without having to hit on it like 5 times. The only other thing is it makes my iPhone heat up a lot when coloring and makes my phone screen dim due to the heat. Other than that, great job with Paint and thank you!

Update: I don’t care for the recent changes and having levels to go up. For as long as I’ve played Paint there is no way I’m only a level 69. And I miss being able to rate the pictures. It’s almost as if you are trying to hard to be like all the other apps. Still a lot of fun though. I’m busy now and can’t get her as often as I’d like. Oh, I do like the fact that now your unfinished pictures all stay at the top and don’t get lost if you don’t finish I order.

This is the best of the this app/color by number games, IMHO. Absolutely the best variety of pictures and not overwhelmed with dumb pictures of unrealistic looking women and unicorns. The magic pictures have become my favorite. Something for everyone here.

I always thought that coloring apps were stupid bc you aren’t coloring, you are just touching the screen. I was wrong! Hey Color is addictive! I like the way it automatically goes to the next color once you have filled every spot in with the preceding color.
Since trying Hey Color, I have tried a couple other coloring apps, but I don’t like them as well as Hey Color. I also like that you get 2 hints for watching 1 ad and you can store them up.
I also like that they have a ton of choices in pictures from the simplest that only takes a minute to complete, to the very intricate that takes an hour or more to complete.
The only drawback that I have found is that I can’t stop!!

I love Paint for the first several pictures. After awhile though it would shut off constantly during using Paint about every five mins. It also way over heated my phone so much when the blip turn offs would happen. It also is doing a weird loading color thing that you have to wait for it. I would love using Paint again but until I don’t get frustrated with the constant turn offs and 1st degree burns from the phone over heating. I’m going to stop using. And no I don’t have a old phone. It is a iPhone X from this year. Please fix so I can play on it again. Oh and I did send several emails to the help center with no help.

I was attracted by the sparkly ad and the game is nothing like the ad. However I do enjoy the difficulty of the pictures and appreciate the ability to zoom in. I did 10 pictures and there were not too many ads, so I bought the no ad to support others using Paint. I did a challenging daily puzzle and it took me about 1 hour to do. I like the fact that there are difficult puzzles. I was able to zoom in and use Paint well. It seems like a good upgrade would be for the user to select the difficulty they want. The puzzles I did are too hard for very young children. I am using an iPhone.

I saw an ad for this coloring app and was attracted by the glittering this app pallet and animated artwork. However, after installing it and pouring through the different paintings I discovered that the ad was deliberately misleading. There are no glitter paints, and the artwork is not animated when completed. The pictures and color pallets are very well done, but far less interesting than the glittering picture in the ad.

Update: I received a response from the developer stating,
"Hi! We apologize for the negative experience you had with our app. It seems you saw the ad for other app in our portfolio. We'll do our best to check the ads more carefully next time. "
I checked out all the apps by this developer in Paint Store, and none of them have what they advertised this one does, ie. sparkling paints. Bummer

I love Paint! It really helps me with my anxiety and it’s really fun and calming! I’m extremely sorry I didn’t give you the reason why I made it 4 stars I didn’t have too much time so here it is! Although Paint gives me EXTREME stress relief I find some of the things that you color are EXTREMELY hard! To me this seems like you are using bait just to make us watch ads! I love Paint and I know you need to use ads to get money since this is a free app and I respect that. It’s just the adds are constant and I would personally like if you would please not to too many ads but overall I love Paint and I highly recommended it especially to people who get panic attacks and have anxiety like me! Thank you for making a good app!

I found this as an Instagram ad and I ended up really loving it. I use it to help me fall asleep at night and it really helps. I’m usually dozing after 15 minutes. I use it to relax me throughout the day too. I find it fun and there’s a large variety of pictures. There are ads but I don’t think it’s too bad. There’s one before and after every picture and one that pops up if you close out of Paint and go back in. You can usually skip the ads after 5 seconds. I paid $5 for the “no ads” just because of the frequency I play it so it was worth it for me. I genuinely enjoy this and I highly recommend it

I really enjoy Paint, but it seems to have quite a few glitches recently when trying to watch ads to get hints. It’ll partially play the ad and then stop and not go any further. When I exit out of the stuck ad, it tells me I must watch full video. I would watch full video if it would play.
Also, my previous iPhone died several weeks back. I just recently downloaded this onto my current iPhone. In the process, I lost all previous “Hey Color” work and hints earned. I had completed all the challenges and all the daily pictures up until my original phone died. I wish there was a way that completed work would continue across all my devices.

I think this is my second review ever of a game, I’m really in love - even the free version has a TON of free puzzles at all levels of complexity, from simple to crazy detailed, with pictures of all sorts of themes, and the ads aren’t nearly as intrusive as usual for free versions of any game. The way the colors fill in their sections when selected is so satisfying to watch, as is when a puzzle is finished and the replay animation starts. I personally love the abundance of delicious food illustrations, and the detailed flowers and other plants. Thank you, devs, for making something that can slow down massive anxiety and help me find calm!

Since I’m in the hospital more than home and hooked up to 3 IV’s for days for the last 8 yrs. having this art to do on my phone has given me life again to be creative. I used to be a professional singer, songwriter and jingle singer until I went in for a simple procedure on my kidneys which are completely fine. But they put a stent in it to clean it out 8 yrs ago and infected me with c-diff the worst strain. Since then I can’t eat anymore except mush oatmeal bananas and Boost and Ensure for the rest of my life. Also my teeth fell out as the acid from running from both ends when they treat you destroyed the bones in my mouth and my teeth fell out. Basically by themselves and I can’t afford implants so this painting has eased my depression and busting inside as an artist to have some sort of outlet. Thank you all whoever sent this to me and continue to send new ones. It definitely helps me when my creative juices get going. My professional name is Cheryl Paige I’m on FB. 🎼🎤🎶🎨😊

This game is good and I would’ve given 5 stars, but every time I touch three times too color I lose one of my hints. Otherwise it’s a good game. Hope you can fix this problem. This game keeps freezing up. Please fix. I got the magnifying glass now but I lost over 73,000 hints that I paid for with my money is there anyway to get my hints back to me and is there anyway that you can buy hints like you used to? Now I can’t get any hints, nothing shows up to watch a video so I can get two hints. However it was a lot better when you could buy the amount of hints you wanted. That’s to bad I still play it, but sad to say it’s not the greatest game anymore sorry to say. When are you going to put ads back so people can get hints. So far I’ve been waiting a week. Now hey color is freezing up and don’t know why.

I was really enjoying this game, but the game forced an update by developers the other day and it took away the magnifier buttons. The one that works as an automatic hint and the one at the bottom by the color palette. The one on the bottom was a really REALLY huge help in finding certain sections that may have been too small to find without having to use a hint from the top. I really enjoyed that feature and now it’s gone and now I’m stuck with the new hint system which I hate SO MUCH. It does absolutely nothing and you still have to watch a ridiculous amount of ads to gain them where as you could just literally use the energy to help with hints. The point system for that was such a great feature. Especially since it gave 20 points at a time which can rack up a lot of energy quickly. Now it’s gone. This isn’t much fun for me anymore and it’s just a little more stressful rather than relaxing like it was for me. And I really needed a game to help with my mental health.

I hope I can delete this review and give Paint the 5 stars it deserves. This was my favorite app and the only thing keeping me sane during lockdown. Then I decided to upgrade my phone. Since I got the new phone I started seeing adds pop up even though I purchased remove adds. Whenever I click restore purchase the adds are still there. Then I have tried to remove adds almost 20 times!!!!!!!!! Whenever I tap that it tells me I have already purchased it and if I want to download again for free which I click but nope......ads are still there. I love Paint so much and if I have to uninstall and reinstall I lose almost 8 months worth of art and achievements. Between the ad pop ups and the fact I can’t even get through one color segment before Paint crashes and I have to restart Paint I feel like I’m going to cry. I even emailed for support 2 weeks ago with no response. Please fix this so I can go back to relaxing and coloring!!!!!

Thank you Hey Color for making my life a bit calmer during COVID-19. I can’t believe I’m THIS old and sit and “color” every night. A friend recommended Paint and it’s totally addictive!
At last count I was to about 81 and that was a week ago so many more by now. It fascinates me watching the colors appear, and the Magic ones are the best. The Panther was the absolute best! I’ve had no issues as others have said. I’d like more unusual pictures, African animals..too many cats and dogs. But honestly I never write a review and if you had to get your mind off the crazy terrible sick world we live in you might as well pretend you are 4+ and color!

I read a review, the person was surprised that he couldn’t choose the Colors? I understood that this ‘this app-by-number’ app was precisely that. I don’t have the artistic ability to choose satisfactory colors when attempting to color in books or this app with the acrylic this app set that’s just collecting dust 🥴 I’ve searched for this app-by-number apps quite a few times in past years. NONE are as BEAUTIFUL as this ‘hey color’ app... none❗️The finished results are so pleasing, I’ve saved each & every one 🥰 I have a challenging time putting it aside in the middle of painting to do other things. IT RELAXES ME Tremendously 😘

Edit: After contacting them (as they have suggested in other reviews) they applied a fix to my app! It has stopped closing and is working well again! They responded quickly to my problem, which is something that is greatly appreciated!

1. First, I want to say that I love the pictures and the way the color moves to the next one when you are done.
2. Problem that needs to be fixed is that Paint will randomly close in the middle of coloring a picture. This needs to be fixed as it is VERY frustrating!
3. Just a suggestion for improvement! Make it to where the pictures completed move out of the way of the ones to be completed. This would make it easier to find what you want to color. (Example: they move to a completed section or to the end of the category they are in.). This way the ones not colored yet show first!

Hopefully the problem of it closing is fixed soon!
