I have several colouring apps on my phone, but I love this one. The detail is so intricate and the colours are amazing. I also like the ability of different pictures. One problem is that it doesn’t have a hide coloured pictures option in the settings. It’s a bit of a pain having to scroll through all the pictures that have already been coloured, especially if it skips up a couple of rows. That’s the only issue I have. Other then that a enjoyable app, definitely worth downloading.

PLEASE! Release a fix to improve the speed on tap > to colour. It’s been 2 years since I reported this problem, and reading the reviews I know it’s not just me with the issue. The delay from tapping the number until it colours is far too slow. Please fix this because then the game would be 5 stars for me. This is one one my favourite apps in terms of the types of pics I like to colour. I paid to have ads removed which I’m glad I did after reading other people’s comments about the ads.I have a few complaints though.. it would be great to have an option to hide coloured pics. Gets frustrating having to scroll through, and usually jumps right to the top so you have to re-scroll. When I’ve finished a pic usually when I switch to a different app, when I go back the pic I’ve just coloured is just black. And a lot of the pics also I have coloured look like I haven’t. It’s only because of the green tick I know I have. Very frustrating. And also, it’s gotten very slow. Like I say I paid to have the ads removed and thought I’d be able to sit and enjoy hours of colouring but.. it’s so slow it’s painful. The delay from tapping to it being coloured is a lot. No other colouring app I have does it, only this one. Which is a shame because I end up getting frustrated and closing the app completely. The choice of pics are right up my street but the cons far out weigh the pros when you consider what makes an app enjoyable or not.Please please fix the issues so we can enjoy how it’s meant to be enjoyed

Potentially great but only ok

There are loads of pictures to colour and I like the horror theme instead of the twee pretty ones you usually get. There’s usually a good mix of fan art and originals and seasonal themes are around for a while, the skeleton santas were great at Xmas.However, as others have said there are too many ads, they’re long and unskippable, and you have to watch them to unlock colours before you can finish a picture. It’s ridiculous. The ads themselves are clearly not vetted as there as some obvious scam products amongst them. There’s also a heavy bias on overly sexualised characters rather than genuinely interesting ones. Think “adult” Halloween you get the idea. It’s fine once in a while but lately it seems to be the bulk of the collections. It’s boring, get some new ideas please.

About the game

So this game I thought was like a darker and more emo version of colour by number the original. It’s exactly that but the only thing is that there are to many ads and if you want to have no ads you have to pay real money just so you don’t have to watch ads. I think they should change the ads from like 10 in every picture to one ad after finishing every picture. It’s a really fun colouring game except from the ads because they are quite annoying but except from that I think it’s a pretty good game. You get to pick the pictures you want to colour and I think it’s just a way to get rid of your anger by colouring in these photos/pictures!
Discover Halloween illustrations.
Enjoy smoother coloring, clearer details, and immersive experiences.
