Zen Color - Color By Number ١٢+

I absolutely LOVE Zen Color!! I’ve had it only a few months but have colored hundreds of pictures. There are multiple different kinds of pictures from various artists that give you plenty of engaging variety. Yes, it is addicting. I love that there is a timer but it only tells you how long it took to color the picture. I especially love the fact that it only counts the time your finger is on the screen and not the multiple minutes you’re staring at the picture trying to find a particular color. Another aspect of the app that I LOVE is the fact that I can hold my finger down on an uncolored space to highlight and fill it in. I like to color in the order I want to see it animate. It’s especially more enjoyable than going in number order. Developers please don’t change this!! My only suggestion to developers would be the ability to see the bonus badge counter - or whatever it is. When you receive a bonus, a little badge counter adds another number to the badge in the top right corner. The problem for me is, I want to click on it because it looks like it’ll “tell you” something. But it appears quickly and disappears. I’ve done everything I can think of to access it, even going into settings, but I'm unable and it’s frustrating. If you enjoy color by number, it is 100% worth paying for the unlocked version. There are no ads and there are unlimited hints. Unlimited hints are extremely useful in finding that last tiny spot that you eludes you.

This amazing coloring app has changed my life believe it or not! I was completely addicted to several iOS games and was spending all kinds of $money$ I didn’t really have just to play these money-grubbing games. :( Once I found Zen Color, all that stopped! For a while, I played with ads, but then paid the one time, very small fee to remove ads - TOTALLY WORTH IT! And now, I spend my time coloring all kinds of pictures and sending them to my mom, to my aunties, to my cousin, (who has cancer and loves a cheerful pic everyday) to my kids, and to my friends! There seems to be not just one, but many pictures to fit all these people’s interests, hobbies, tastes and personalities! I 💜love💜the fact that you actually EARN more pictures to color…you don’t PAY for more. I am so tired of in-app purchase games. But, Zen Color is not about that and I really hope it stays that way! There are literally hundreds of pictures and all sorts of categories. Also, I have tried probably 20+ other coloring app and I just end up deleting them and going right back to my ZEN!🧘🏼 If you enjoy being on your phone and you’re tired of getting addicted to expensive iOS games, please download this app! Get addicted to a fun, HEALTHY app, that also gives pleasures to others as you share your finished pictures!! THANK YOU ZEN!!! Jen in Kansas xo

Used to love this app, extremely addictive until the prior update. Then one day all the completed pictures and rewards went blank. Pictures don’t save, whether in progress or completed. All apps have problems occasionally, but there has been no word about this from the creators or even an announcement letting us know an update trying to fix it was available. For me, apps only continue to draw me in when they return a (usually false) sense of accomplishment. Having the picture vanish on completion definitely removes that for me. So I guess… thanks? I appreciate your altruism in finding a way to break my attraction to your app.

Update: Bug was eventually fixed. Recently new artists added and they're great! Still get the same style lovely zen and mandalas as before, but with more variation. The animals are now wonderful. More accuracy and details, more species (platypus!), better poses and backgrounds. The animal emphasis has shifted nicely to beauty over cuteness. Flowers are coming in greater variety of species and color, and the koi are often bright ornamental colors rather than muddy wild carp brown. New butterflies are showing up again, and the new simple category is wonderful for a mental refresher or quick break. I've fallen in love with this app all over again!!
