app has become unusable. it completely locks up my device. I purchased the ad free version back in 2019 and have loved using it for the last 7 years, but sadly had to uninstall it.
it keeps freezing
There's ABSOLUTELY NO reason for ads while trying to color!!! I no longer enjoy using this app. On to the next without ads!
if you can ever make it past the ads , the app can be relaxing. But the ads are so intrusive you can barely use the app.
where are the treehouses. ???
Theres more and more AI slop and it brings down the app as a whole
I used to be able to hold what I wanted to color but now I can't it sucks.
I am keeping my one star review until they stop using ai generated pictures and apologize for lying about it. I'm quite insulted by the fact that they think people wouldn't notice the blatant ai usage, it's so obvious it's a bit offensive. So to the creators: quit lying to your audience, stop filling your app with slop, and don't comment on this review if you're not gonna fix this problem.
I loved this app until I was unable to sync my progress to my new phone. I contacted customer service via email for a while until they discovered there was no "cloud icon" to sync on either phone - claimed they will send an update. I have to send my old phone back for a trade in and I'm heartbroken I will lose a year of progress. Pretty lame if you ask me.
I have been playing for years on every device I've gotten, my mammaw also loved it and it reminds me of her. Unfortunately it became another cash sucker. The amount of ads is unacceptable and glitches won't let you exit. I have also gotten vulgar and inappropriate ads which should not be on an app that presents as family-friendly. The only reason I still have it is became of the memories, but if I were a new player I would never install. The developers could fix it, but they don't really care.
This coloring game used to be a great balance of ads and play time but now is full of ads. There are ads when you open a picture, ads when you try to go back to the library, ads when you pause and resume the session, and now multiple ads during the session. It's become unbearable and I am looking for a new coloring game so I can uninstall this one. Seriously Happy Color?
Been playing this for years now. Number and duration of ads have been ever increasing, ads are harder to close, and now there are forced ad breaks while colouring. There is more AI art being snuck in. Finally, this app has only ever had tepid Pride Month images, but at least it's had something. This year, however, only had a beige, headless image on the last day of the month, telling LGBTQIA+ players that if you stay quiet, colourless, and faceless, you get rewarded with... rainbow socks. Poor!
I have invested so much time in this app that I hate to have to uninstall it. I loved it so much but the ads are now intrusive. it is seriously ridiculous! You dont just have to watch them between pictures, now it gives ads right in the middle of coloring pictures. I would not waste my time downloading this app at this point because you do more ad watching than coloring.
you cannot push the number and get the car to pop up you have to go to the each color and touch it not good
Ads are popping up at bottom of screen now WHILE coloring. Loud and can't mute them or close out of them. Graphics after coloring pics changed drastically when "playing" completed pictures. No longer satisfying. Please change it back!!!
