Dark Color Reviews

DarkColor started out fun really good pictures but after checking box about stop being reminded about going add free. As soon as I clicked to stop the reminders there are commercials of games no one would ever play that now play every couple minutes with no hint reward. I hit your rewards so DarkColor can generate its money. Now they just shove it down my throat after months of coloring. I will never go on DarkColor again until The commercials chill out a little. There is no reason to change this. I have now sent you email number 2. You have great pictures to color. But how much punishment are you gonna give me. This seems like a “ I’ll show you” tactic. Not only did I not choose to go ad free I chose not to be reminded again. Since that click. You have tried to force me to go ad free by bombarding me with ads. Horrible situation, horrible communication by you. Other then the form you automatically send out.

DarkColor has some of the coolest and colorful pictures. However there is one reason and one reason only that i am going to have to delete DarkColor. The amount of adds in DarkColor is absolutely ridiculous!! You can’t even enjoy your coloring experience without a ton of adds interrupting you. I counted and during one coloring there were 5. 30 second adds that popped up. Maybe you should do like all the other coloring apps do and run your adds before and after the coloring, and maybe run one during to gain the hint if needed. And if we need a hint before offered to us run the add then as well. The amount during our coloring experience is ridiculous. Sad because I will be deleting because of this, and I really enjoy DarkColor and the pictures and colors, but can’t enjoy because of that. It’s more stressful than relaxing like it’s supposed to be. And I’m sure a lot of other users would probably agree, and you’ve probably lost a lot because of this. I have a lot of different coloring apps that are awesome and don’t experience this amount off adds. Maybe you reconsider how you run your adds. I understand they have to be ran but you could run them differently. I would have given a rating of 5 stars but unfortunately I can’t. Please change your setup and I will definitely be back! Happy coloring people, there’s a lot of other coloring apps out there just as good with less adds.

Cool pictures, different from any other apps but it’s slow to respond and the ads are absolutely ridiculous. Every time you get through 2-4 color’s there’s an ad, any other coloring game let’s you get through an entire picture before an ad. I already deleted and will not use until ads are reduced!
And of course then you get the auto response they send to everyone:
Dear user, thank you for your feedback. We are very sorry to hear that. But please give us a chance to explain. We understand how you feel right now, but we have to let you know that we invested a lot of money in technology development, graphic design, application maintenance, and so on. We have to change our strategy in order to keep DarkColor always available for our users. We hope you can understand! If you have better suggestions, please feel free to send us an email. Our progress cannot be achieved without the support of our users. Thank you again for your trust!💖

If you wanna make it better. Do before and after the pics. Not every 30 seconds. I guarantee you’re not the only coloring app that’s has spent “a lot of money” to develop. I still will not play until they are reduced

At least Artbook by hypefun is wayyy better then this one they got less ads then ya 😒 I’ll be deleting DarkColor too many ads like less then 30 seconds got 29 of them popped up it’s ridiculous I’ll just stick with Artbook now on been using there since 2020 for few years I like the art work DarkColor has just too many ads but on Artbook the ads only pop up if want to unlock a picture to do or for hints too wish you guys do something like that because the one been doing for years is less stressful tbh as much want to continue using your app I just rather go on Artbook by hypefun it’s super relaxing stress free the ads for you is outrageous can’t even enjoy it and who ever dealing there same just look up Artbook by hypefun wayyy better then this one less ads popping up like crazy trust me on this it was fun for few days doing the 3 day free trail not dealing with the ads but it’s just meh not as interesting to go on more sadly another disappointment paint by number app

I really enjoy the pictures, I think they are really cool. But, there is no way to really enjoy coloring them. There is literally an ad every 30 seconds. I spend more time watching ads than I do coloring. The development team will say the ads are required to keep DarkColor running. But there doesn’t need to be that many during a picture. I play other paint by number apps and this is the first one that has ads during a picture. The others I play might have one before or after but that’s it. And don’t even try telling me I can pay to have the ads stop. I’m not paying for a coloring app when I have others that are free and they have fewer ads. It’s a real shame because the pictures are really cool. I’ll be deleting DarkColor , it’s just not worth my time.

Ok, so I don’t often write reviews but I was compelled to in this case. I’ll start by saying I really like the art available in DarkColor. Much better than the few others I’ve tried but all that is destroyed by the unbearable number of ads required to do one SINGLE page. I believe I had to sit through at least 6-7 full ads, some up to 60 seconds just for one drawing. Seems ridiculous to me! One of the competitors I’ve tried had and ad to start and one when completing. Not 3+ more in the middle of doing one plus starting and ending and 1-2 more peppered in just navigating my way around. I also think the ad removal prices are astronomically high. I get people have to make a living but I’d never pay $60/year to color on my iPad. Maybe $10 if it was great but I even find the accuracy when tapping with my Apple Pencil to be off. You don’t really even need to click in the exact area…as long as you are close, you’ll get it. Ok, rant over.

You’ll actually spend more time watching ads, then actual “game play”! I’ve actually timed it, I’ve watched 3 minutes and 45 seconds of ads in a 5 minute span. This game would actually get no stars, if it wasn’t for the fact that this coloring game has the best pictures to color of any of the other games like this out there. I’d actually consider paying for the no add version, if it wasn’t so expensive! $70 to play this game with no ads? That’s ridiculous! For as many ads as this game shows, the entire game should be free with no ads. If, you like to watch more ads than actual game play, then this is the game for you! Plus, if you downloaded it based on some of the pics you seen in advertisements for it….. you’re going to be disappointed! Most of those pics are either not there, or are behind that $70 pay wall.

The pictures available for free are okay, the paid service is slightly better.

My main concern is that I HAVE to restore my subscription EVERY TIME I open DarkColor . Usually, after an ad has popped up and I am unable to avoid waiting for the 30-60 seconds, for the video, and the additional 15 to allow the close button to be viable. Not a huge thing, but if I am buying a year of ad free time I would like that time to be “AD FREE”. I’ve had it show ads for pictures that should be included, or throw an ad in mid coloring.

The coding needs to be corrected. If you want people to keep paying for the ad free service the service needs to be ad free. Not “mostly” ad free, with a requirement that the individual restore their purchase immediately upon opening DarkColor , as well as periodically while DarkColor is open.

I’ve had lots of fun with this coloring app. It has truly been a wonderful experience with the great artistic designs of each coloring page from various characters as such. But since the recent update, there have now been nothing but greedy cash grabbing ads being shoved in my face every minute. Not only that, but I find that if I would want to keep ads from annoyingly popping up every so often, I would have to pay at least 6 dollars weekly which adds to over $20 a month to which I feel is a bit over the top. It would be great to bite the bullet and just willingly find the means to keep the annoying ads away. But unfortunately for me, I find that it’s just not worth it. I’m not saying DarkColor is horrible, I’m just rather very disappointed.

First I want to say I love the way you change characters into horror characters. Timon and Pumba, Mickey Mouse, Ronald McDonald, Mario and Luigi, just to say a few absolutely LOVE this art work it’s the main reason I have your app. So why will my app not delete pictures from my collection tab when I remove them. I spent 30 minutes deleting about 100 pictures from my collection only to find them all right back in there when I returned to app after completely closing out of DarkColor after deleting was done. I have tried to delete the pictures many times but every time I return to app there they are again. It doesn’t let me save the new pictures I want to not miss out on but continues to keep pictures I try to delete that are over six months old. Please help me to delete the ones I don’t want anymore. Also claps to you for having ethnic and sexual orientation tabs but you are over doing it, I sure don’t see a white beauty tab or straight pride tab. In the couples tab there is only 5% of pictures for white straight people. We call that racism against the white straight people. I don’t see an Asian tab or Hispanic tab so why a black tab? Why not give all races and sexual orientation the same amount of pictures, no race or sexual orientation is better than the other and should not be displayed like one is.

I really think that this game is pretty cool, I LOVE dark stuff, but it literally takes like 15-20 minutes to get through one picture because of having to watch 2-3 30 second ads, plus the ad you have to watch before you get the actual picture and the ad you have to watch at the end of every picture. I play lots of coloring games that I love and I thought this one would be super cool, if you could just fix it to watching 1 ad at the beginning and maybe 1 ad at the end that would make the coloring experience so much better!! I downloaded this game because there isn’t anything else like it have since stopped playing it as much because of the ads.

I’ve downloaded, played, deleted too many Paint/Color By Numbers to count. I currently have 17 downloaded, 18 counting this one, that I continuously rotate through. Reason being bc out of all the ones I have, I usually only find 1-2 pictures that catch my attention. I’m SO unbelievably excited to have found DarkColor with the majority of the pictures being what I enjoy to paint/color.

Only reason I gave it 4 stars is that it’s a bit laggy. I just downloaded it moments before leaving this review so I assume it would be up to date with the latest update. Not too sure why it takes me 5-7 taps to color one spot but I’m hoping it’ll work itself out bc this one has quickly become my new favorite!

This was my favorite coloring app, it’s how I’d relax after my long days. It was nice to lay down and turn my brain off and color pictures with themes I couldn’t find on any other app. And if I wanted extra hints, I’d watch ads and I knew I’d have ads once I finished a picture and sometimes at the start of a picture. But since the recent update, there’s at the very least 4 ads in the middle of coloring a picture. That is not relaxing. I’d happily pay for the no ad experience if it wasn’t so expensive just to get this to stop. I’m disappointed the creators went the way of greed. I get it, they need money but this is way too many ads all the time.

I think the artwork is awesome! One suggestion though, the artwork starts out gray, and they have a good amount of blacks, grays, blues, and other dark colors, which makes it difficult to see the shaded area next needing to be worked on. I’ve seen other apps have different color options instead of just shades of gray. It would be great if you could add that as a feature so you don’t have to strain your eyes so much trying to find the checkered area amongst all the gray.

One criticism for the free version is there are A LOT of ads. Usually other free apps you have an ad at the beginning and at the end but this one gives you multiple ads through out a single picture. All the extra ads is extreme in my opinion.

If you add different color options for the areas needing to be worked on next and pulled a couple of ads in the middle of each picture, I would give it a five star rating.

I really enjoy using DarkColor other than the frequent ad interruption which is the reason I cannot give it 5 stars. I like that it’s not your typical cutesy children’s pictures, but pictures geared towards adults with darker subject matter. The ad interruptions really take away from enjoying the coloring. It seems like they pop up rather often and are not short ads. Choose a picture to color, watch an ad, color a few numbers in picture, watch an ad, want more hints, watch an ad, almost done with picture, one more ad. Close out completed picture, watch an ad. Set phone down to do something else and come back to app, watch an ad. There has to be a better way to have DarkColor be free and not have so many ads. I looked into removing ads by going premium, that was too expensive to me. I have other free coloring apps downloaded that look very similar, but nowhere near the amount of ads as this one.

This is a great app the pictures are amazing, this is why I gave the 5 stars and I don’t mind that you have to watch ads to unlock certain numbers, but what I truly dislike is getting pulled from DarkColor to a vpn scanning for viruses, when one I don’t have one and won’t get one, but seriously getting pulled from DarkColor for that and having already unlocked all the numbers and then going back to DarkColor and having to watch another add because that happens frequently is ridiculous. Would love to get rid of ads period but I don’t want a subscription, and I get they need the ads but seriously they should make sure there is not malware ads

First off, I think that this game or drawing game is amazing! It has a lot of talented artwork. None that I could possibly do, the ONLY problem about the coloring app is I wouldn’t really say it’s “9+”, I’ve had a lot of my nephews download this game and it didn’t have I would say appropriate drawings for a 9 year old, I would say this could be 12+ maybe, just an opinion!

Second thing, is that there are ALOT of ads. I found one of Loony Toony , (yes I watch Helluva boss as a 24 year old) and I wanted to color it and there were a lot of ads for me. I don’t know if anyone else is having that sort of problem but I want it to get fixed

If I have more, I’ll dig deeper into this game and review once more! Bye for now.

I’m OK with having that cause I’m like really patient and there are a lot of ads. I would still recommend it for people who do not just like immediately throw a punch once they get like three ads in like five minutes cause that’s kind of what happens but you can get coloring in it. It’s just that like normally with coloring like every time you click on one it shows you an ad and then you get to color it and then sometimes, wow you’re doing it. You have to watch an ad in the middle of coloring which I think is fine but for all the people who do not like ads, don’t get this game.

I love DarkColor! It’s super fun. The only problem I have with it is that, a lot of the pictures have really weird or inappropriate outfits. I understand that some people like that sort-a thing, but I don’t. It’s just weird to me. There’s so many images that could’ve been really pretty, but the inappropriate and weird clothing ruins it. I just wish there weren’t so many pictures with inappropriate and weird clothing. I wish you could choose if an image has nsfw or not. I like the creepy stuff with blood in it, or horror stuff. I just don’t like the nsfw stuff. It’s just weird. Like if you clicked on an image, you could choose if it had nsfw or not. But, Besides the inappropriate clothing stuff, it’s a great game, and really fun. :)

Okay, I’m rating this game 5 stars because I need people to see this.
The art is really great, and I love coloring it, but there is an ad every 30 seconds during the time I am trying to complete 1 picture. This is not even an exaggeration, I’m telling the full truth. You might like this game if your a horror fan, or like dark things in general, but the amount of ads is literally crazy.

I know the developers are going to say that they need ads to keep the game running, but there is absolutely no need for the ridiculous amount of ads they give us. Usually in color by number games, there is an ad before and after the painting is done, never during, and I don’t really understand this because nobody will be able to enjoy the actual app if it’s 80% ads and 20% gameplay.
