Pixel Art: Paint by Number 12+

Ok, so don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love this app. It is a great way to pass time and calm stress. I have a few small complaints though. First of all, this thing drains my battery so fast that I can’t feel comfortable using it unless I have a reliable power source. I use it for 20 minutes and I go from 98% to 70% on a good day. It also heats my phone up really easily which isn’t that big of a deal but probably isn’t ideal. My second complaint is the addition of pop up adds. I could tolerate the adds playing before and after puzzles, but was it really necessary to make them start popping up while I’m coloring it? It just interrupts my experience and makes me want to play a different game. One thing I love is getting into a rhythm and being able to play automatically without much thought, and the pop up adds just ruin that because it forces me to break my concentration. As a final little criticism, the pixel count for the art made from personal pictures is terrible. They used to be pretty high and then they were changed to such a low pixel count that it’s not very useful anymore. In conclusion, the battery problem could use some improvement (though I can imagine that it isn’t an easy fix) and the adds need to be kept out of the puzzles while users are coloring. I would recommend this app to anyone who needs stress relief and is willing sacrifice their battery charge.

Hi! Thanks for your feedback. We're sorry to hear that the game does not work properly. If you could please contact us using the Support section inside the app. We will work on a solution.

My biggest problem is the freezing. This game will completely freeze up, sometimes I can’t even get back into the game if I restart it. I will have to power my phone all the way off sometimes. My second issue is the picture selection. I wish there was a way to filters by pixel count and also that there was a way to sort the pictures such as people, animals, flowers, etc. and then using the pixel filter you can find your perfect picture. I really like doing the high pixel count bird/animal ones, but I have to scroll for a really long time to find new ones. Maybe a way to go straight to the bottom? Third is the feature where I can see the pixels I did the wrong color. They sometimes make it very hard to find the square in looking for because they blend it. I think being able to remove them or at least lighten the opacity would be great. I also would like a way to remove the buttons at the top while coloring, because they get in the way and sometimes I accidentally click finish and have to watch two ads to get back into my picture. The new pop-up ads are also annoying, because they sometimes freeze my game too. This game has many upsides though. It has an amazing selection of pictures, is pretty easy to use and has lots of bonus pictures to get. I love collecting stuff so whenever I finish a book and get the high pixel count picture I am very pleased. If you fixed the issues I talked about this game would definitely be a five star for me!

Hello, we've got news for you! There's a new, improved version of Pixel Art available. Please update the app to the latest version and contact us via the 'Help' section if the freezing issue persists. As for categories, disabling the darkening of cells painted with a different color and hiding the control bar, we've added them to our users' wishlists, and we'll consider them for our future improvements. Enjoy coloring, and feel free to reach out back anytime! 😊

I really like this app. Personally, I stick to creating my own images, so I don’t really have anything to say about the images they have available. I stumbled onto the most recent Garden event by accident and that was really fun, so I hope they continue to create those in the future! The ads are a huge issue though. Personally, I don’t really mind the ads that pop up after you finish a color or when you hit the exit button, because they usually only happen every few colors and there’s a decent gap between them. I can see how this might be an issue when coloring pictures with fewer pixels, though, so keep that in mind! The banner ads that play at the bottom of the screen are the issue. Every time the ad switches, I get at least a 30 second freeze to the game where I can’t color in pixels or move the screen. Sometimes this lasts even longer if the ad has moving text or animated graphics. I’ve had the game freeze up for several minutes with these ads. Playing in airplane mode does get rid of the ads, but this isn’t always viable when I’m waiting on replies for emails or text messages for work. I would love it if they could change the ads so that the game no longer freezes, or implement a one time charge for an ad free version instead of the $15 a month subscription they advertise. Overall, it’s a good coloring app if you’re willing to overlook the issues with the ads.
