Zen Color - Color By Number +12

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

My favorite color by number for mindless relaxing is Zen Color. The free version is pretty fantastic for this kind of app. Lots of great pictures, new images all the time. I find the music relaxing. I’ve been doing one before bed. They also let you share and you get bonus images by doing a certain amount of coloring in different areas. Example 3 nature pictures gets you a bonus picture. But even without that there’s lots of images available for free. The animation is cool. The ads aren’t horrible. They only pop up before or after, not while you’re in the middle. Unless you want to earn free hints by watching extra ads. This is so smart since the premise is Zen/relaxation. The only glitch has been every once-in-awhile I can’t get out of the Royal Flush game ad. No X to close out. Please fix this annoying problem. Otherwise very happy. The price to go ad free isn’t bad - $9.99. I will likely pay for it soon as I like supporting well done Apps. As a software tester once-upon-a-time it’s obviously well thought out and cared for. Thank you developers!

Potential future improvements- several music choices, color choices as an option & if this is added then also the ability to use an image again and again.

I originally got this app because my kids kept wanting color by number apps, and all the ones they downloaded were not very good. Very limited colors, poorly bordered cells, simple pictures, etc. I very quickly started using Zen Color myself. Tons of pictures to choose from, loads of colors, cells are well defined whether large or really tiny. Some pictures have over 100 colors, at least one picture I did had at least 3,000 cells. I pretty quickly paid for no ads, since it’s permanent and not a subscription. I’ve done over 100 pictures and don’t plan on stopping.

The following two things are about the only negatives I have. These are definitely in the “nit-pick” category of negatives.
1. I wish there was an “undo” function. Some of the pictures I really like doing in order of cell placement, not color number. If I accidentally fill a cell out of order, depending on the picture it can really mess up the flow of the playback at the end.
2. I’d like to be able to slow down the playback speed of the coloring. Some of these pictures are really cool how they get filled in, and I’d like to be able to follow the detail more closely. It plays so fast it’s hard to catch some small little fill ins.
