Clear use of AI
If you care at all about not supporting art theft, environmental damage, or greedy companies that get people killed, don't use or purchase anything from this app. Art used in the "storybook" event is very clearly AI generated. Shame on this company for stealing from real artists.
Edit: You can lie all you'd like, it's extremely obvious that AI art was used

Overwhelming Ads
Unplayable with how many ads you get. Ads every minute like clockwork. Wish I was joking.
Stop dumb add
Ok
WTF!?
I absolutely love this app, game. I’ve been enjoying for years! Can’t beat the brilliant color nice graphics, photos, variety of levels..quick couple min puzzles to hours long zen breaks from life. They have always had ads breaking up your fun and ask an outrageous price to remove them but now the ads come after EVERY minute of coloring! No joke! How is anyone supposed to be able to enjoy this?! I’m sadly going to have to stop playing/delete this app. You guys are crazy/greedy/disappointing!
So many ai ads
Other apps are better and don’t constantly ad bomb you
Too many ads
I’ve had this app for years but it’s almost unusable now. You used to get an ad after you completed an image which was fine but now you get one every 60 seconds which disrupts coloring. It’s annoying how developers always ruin a good thing by being greedy.
Advertising every minute!
Advertising every minute! Really every minute. Sometimes every 30 seconds. This is impossible. This game is only for those who are willing to pay
Ads
So many ads, they pop up like every 5 seconds
Pixel art review
This app is honestly a very low quality add. I got three adds in three minutes. Most of the pages or whatever are unlocked and need to be purchased with money. It’s a mobile app, so spending any money on it is ridiculous. It’s just a bad app.
Ads/membership
Idk who the developer thinks he/she is or what their app is but the amount of ads is insane I’m trying to color an image and get stopped every 5 seconds, and the price for the membership is insane $15 a month are you joking what do you think your app is Netflix? Either have a set price paid once to get rid of ads permanently or reduce the price per month you are crazy if you think anyone is paying for that.
I hate this game
They said it was relaxing
Too many adds
There are adds like every minute so annoying.
It’s so fun!
The game has lots of colorings that you can do and you can even make your own! I LOVE IT!!!! <3
Ugh subscription based now
Yall this used to be completely free - everything. Think abt that every time you get charged. Stupid app!
Great app
Commercial have become out of control. Every 10 seconds. Would have been 5 star but the frequency has multiplied significantly
So many adds. Ruined game
This game is supposed to be relaxing and calming. I used a timer and every minute you get a add. Every minute your getting interrupted by a annoying add for a app that doesn’t need the money from the adds! They ruined the game.
Too many ads!
Don’t get this app! You are only able to color around 250 cells before you are interrupted with an ad. Excessive ads have ruined this app.
WAY too many ads
Too many ads for a coloring game. THREE ADS WHILE ACTIVELY COLORING. It kept crashing my iPad as well, because THE ADS wouldn’t load. Extremely glitchy.
Your game sucks.
Your game sucks.
Ads
Every minute you play it seems like an ad pops up one after another, makes it really annoying and ruining any relaxation you get from the game!!
Ads now tap themselves. Such garbage.
The ads on this app have been super aggressive for a long time. But now they pop up when I’m not even touching the screen like they’re tapping themselves. Worst developers ever.
Way to many ads
The pictures would be fun to color if there wasn’t an ad every minute. You can’t even finish one color before another ad pops up.
I don’t like the game
So I deleted the game and then I re-downloaded it and then when I opened it up, there was no way to take a picture and stuff and that was before I deleted it and now it isn’t letting me color photos and also I don’t like that we have to pay money also I don’t like it and also I gave you guys zero views. Well it should do zero.
Ads
The amount of ads has just gotten increasingly worse and out of hand. Whenever I try to color anything ads constantly pop up after about only 90 seconds. Some from the bottom even just expand onto my screens without me clicking on them. If you want to keep your audience, please consider limiting the ads, it’s gotten to the point it defeats the whole purpose of the game. By keeping so many ads, I guarantee you will lose many players including myself. I won’t be playing until this has been solved. Thanks.
Too many ads
There are at least 8 ads per picture and if this doesn’t get under control I will stop playing
Too many ads.
Honestly, pretty smart marketing, I can understand they get more revenue if people pay to get rid of the ads. BUT STILL. LIKE DANG BRO, I JUST WANT TO COLOR A SILLY LITTLE PIXEL DRAWING WITHOUT BEING INTERRUPTED BY AN AD LITERALLY EVERY TWO MINUTES BRO. Other than that, this is pretty fun, good art pieces, and I enjoy how you can upload an image to color in. I don’t really have to complain, but I thought it would be useful to write a review.
Ads
There are SO many ads, they're unbearable. Every few minutes there's an ad. I know y'all have to make money somehow, but honestly, it's just disappointing. The pixel counter to remove ads for the rest of the day doesn't work anymore. Could that be fixed, at least?
Ads
TOO MANY ADS IM ACTUALLY ABOUT TO FLIP OUT IF I GET ONE MORE FREAKING AD BRO 😏🤭🔫
Too many ads
The game itself is fun, but it has an absurd amount of ads. I should not be getting interrupted by an ad every 1 - 3 minutes of continuous gameplay. I could handle maybe every 5 minutes, preferably less.
Good game, if there’s no ads
I see a lot of potential in this game, especially when you have the option to turn your favorite images into pixel art.
But the biggest issue I have with this game right now, especially nowadays, is the use of ads. This occurs when you play the game and fill in the colors. You would be in the middle of finding the numbers and coloring, then suddenly, an ad pops up out of nowhere. It just interrupts your ability to create pixel art and really ruins your flow to keep on going. It makes playing the game an overall frustrating experience because of it.
Overall, Pixel Art could have been such a good mobile game, it really could, but the over reliance on the ads just takes you out of the moment. And it’s frustrating knowing the fact that there were little to no adds back during its prime. But right now, the ads are becoming excessive.
I understand that the company who made the game need the ads to make some earnings. But they should at the bare minimum make it more lenient in order to have the ads not interrupt the gameplay. Why not put the advertisements on the bottom/top of the screen and that’s it.
Otherwise, it just makes Pixel Art a weak game, and that’s the reason I have to give this a 2/5.

Crazy or Stupid?
I used to make custom color-by-number puzzles via photos in my phons, never touched the premade ones. I came back here years later because I stopped originally as the ads were so numerous… then I come back ready to spend maybe 5 bucks maximum to get rid of them. For no ads it’s 15 bucks A MONTH. A MONTH? 15 dollars was already egregious, but I don’t even pay for NETFLIX because subscriptions are the bane of humanity. At least charge for something WORTH IT like extra puzzle access for those who actually want them. This was so disrespectful that I’m going somewhere else, and if I don’t find anything I’ll simply not play anything; fine by me. What a joke.
Too many ads
I enjoy playing this game, coloring different things helps me relax, but there are far too many ads. Maybe try toning down the ads a bit, thanks.

Невозможно играть из за рекламы, которая вылезает через каждую минуту
Ads
I have no idea what’s going on, but recently this game has been containing a lot of ads for some reason, kinda annoying.
Great app, ads are out of hand
I love this app and have for years but the ads have gotten ridiculous. I understand a need for ads to make revenue but the amount is absurd. I timed it and will get ads literally every minute, meaning I spend half my time in the app, in an ad. No longer worth playing at that point! I miss coloring tho and wish there were just less ads, not none but at least less.
Highly dislike the pop up dice game.
I truly enjoy your app, but the amount of pop-up ads is excessive. Extremely annoying. I pay for the premium subscription. Why can’t I choose not to participate in the dice game?
Too many ads
Too many ads, would love to pay a one time fee to not have to watch any ads ever
A love slowly disappearing
I used to love this game to bits but the constant ads I get since I can’t afford the premium version and the a.i ads in it just makes me sad. Please make it go away if my voice can ever be heard.
Too many ads
Nice app but the frequency of ads makes the app literally unenjoyable it takes me longer to complete a picture that shouldn’t take as long because it interrupts my progress every 15 seconds for another ad this is also overheating my phone so I really can’t use this app
Incessant ads ruin what would be a great game and experience
This game is very good and has great mechanics. HOWEVER, any satisfaction or relaxing feeling is absolutely crushed by CONSTANT ads that pop up without warning. The game is borderline unplayable with how frequently the ads appear and the price to remove them is RIDICULOUS. There isn’t even an option to remove them permanently either. I honestly can’t believe how this game has such a high rating since the ads turn what would be 5/5 stars to like a 2/5 because the game is more ad than game. Seriously how greedy can you get?
Ads
Way to many ads. Didn’t even finish 1 color and if already gave me another add. Unplayable
