DO NOT GET THIS APP
Do not get this 🤮 it is unsatisfying, no noises, and is nothing like it is in the ad. Get a app called color by number instead
This USED to be my goto game
WHAT HAPPENED?! I step away for a month and when I can play again, im COMPLETELY INUNDATED by COMMERCIALS! Before, you’d have to watch a commercial before you can start coloring again. NOW, I have to watch a commercial EVERY 100 pixels filled in. Know what? I’m leaving again and now I’m searching for ANOTHER COLOR BY NUMBER GAME! All the commercials? Not so much fun ANYMORE!! I’m out…
фууу
какого вылезает каждую секунду реклама, уже бесить реально начинает, порисовать даже нормально не получается, рисуешь, и уже через секунду реклама. Мало того, после рекламы еще и лагать игра начинает, невыносимо, сделайте меньше рекламы, задрали

Hundreds of thousands of dedicated players spend hours of their time on this app including myself.
10 players out of 227k plus dedicated Pixel Art players excluded from receiving this bonus link is disappointing, hurtful, behavior.

Ad Reward
When and why did the reward get taken away where if you color enough pixels before the day is over you can color without ads?

Don’t install unless u have $14.99 a month to waste.
I love pixel art, all types of art. I bought a stylus just so i could do pixel art on my phone. Let me know why i am getting at least 2 ADS A MINUTE? this games ad system is the most ridiculous i have ever experienced. Especially on an art painting app thats suppose to help you relax, it’s just making me angry. Having to wait for the ads to finish and then hit the “x” just to go right back into an ad not even 35 seconds later. The developers of “pixel art” just want your money. They don’t actually care if their app helps you relax. Do you have $14.99 a month to invest in not seeing ads? I don’t. What about $45 a year? i do, but you’re funny if you think i’d spend it on a pixel painting app theirs millions more of on the app store. Do better, developers. Reduce the ad price. I’d buy it if it was a flat out fee, not recurring. Recurring is absolutely ridiculous.
Amount of ads ruins it
A long, unskippable ad takes over every couple of minutes. If there was an ad before of after every painting that would be understandable, but to interrupt constantly completely ruins the point of the app. And an expensive subscription model to actually make this app usable is ridiculous. What happened to just being able to buy a game, I hate it here
Ads are absolutely ridiculous
This used to be my favorite game. Used to be very few ads they would only appear if you wanted to color something that was locked or when you finished coloring. Now there is an ad every minute and thirty seconds WHILE you’re coloring?! Absolutely insane. And the ad free option is 14.99 a month?! I used to play this game so much and now I’m gonna delete this garbage.
😕
Def not a good game
Won’t recommend

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.
Edit 6/5/26: I believe the ads have become even more frequent since I posted this review. Please, fix this.

Ads galore
The ridiculous amount of advertising is horrendous. I understand having ads but Literally 1 every minute? That’s excessive.
Boring
Boring and way too many ads
Edit: you say “but we need ads to support our app” like how the hell do ads support an app? No, it makes us suffer, I don’t get it, how do ads support and help an app, think about the people using this app, they hate ads

So many adds
The game if great, but it's gotten to the point where you can only
Hit 20 squares before you have to sit through a 2 min add.

Too many ads
dude you cant even play for a few minutes without a billion ads.
gosh
i’d love to give this more stars but there are SO many ads i can’t even go a minute or two without getting multiple. its borderline unplayable because of how annoying they are
Fun to color but…
This app has a lot of great page options to color and it is genuinely very satisfying the way that it flows. However, you really can’t enjoy it with the unbearable amount of ads that pop up maybe every thirty seconds. I literally leave the app after like the tenth one and give up. It is so annoying trying to use an app for relaxation and it is nonstop ads disrupting the entire purpose of the app…
okay… but a very glitchy !
just downloaded this today and so far i’m loving the coloring app , i like the options we have of what to color , but i noticed an error !
when you complete each color a slow check mark appearing animation is supposed to occur , and sometimes it does , but then once you’ve fully started the project the animation goes away/stops occurring and now when i finish each color , the box very quickly just changes to a checkmark which i don’t like at all.
it’s bad enough that the app doesn’t make a sound when you finish each color. we don’t need the completion animation to be glitched out as well … you literally had one job.
sigh … it seems like no one knows how to make a good app/game without failing in some capacity … it’s sad really. pop pixel is much better 😌 download that instead guys !

Ads every 2-3 mins!!!
Gave 2 stars because there are wayyyy too many damn ads! The app I like a lot. But when there are ads every 2-3 minutes it ruins the relaxing effect. I am so frustrated with the ads on here. To go add free, it’s $15.00 A MONTH! How about no! I wouldn’t mind if I had to pay a $5 one time fee for add free. I get the app is free but I’ve watched maybe 100 ads I feel like I shouldn’t have to be made to watch anymore! I feel that it’s paid for itself by now and I just downloaded this yesterday night! I’m not changing my mind about this rating until it’s fixed.
Ads
I used to love this game, most other pixel art games don’t have anything special about them or they have tap to fill options and I never saw the point of that. I hadn’t touched the game in a few months since I’ve been busy with work and life, and I was slapped in the face with an ad, then another ad, and another and another and so on. It feels as though I’m given an ad every 50 pixels I color. Or everytime I start or end one. It’s insane. I shouldn’t have to pay a yearly subscription for $46 just to get them to stop so I can have an actual relaxing experience. How am I supposed to relax if I’m stopped in the middle of coloring to sit through 10 seconds of some useless ad? If you’re gonna have the ad-free version behind a paywall, make it a one time $5 purchase. I would much rather pay for that.
ADs
Wayyyyy to many ads I can’t get through one coloring page without an ad every minute. Drove me crazy and had to delete the app.
TOO MANY ADS
The game is great and so relaxing, but there are way too many ads. Everytime you click the screen, ad. A theatre company should hire me because I can memorize these ads so easily. It’s like monologue.
Pa
Great game, but the number of ads is insane. Across a 2-3 minute period there will br multiple ads. Please calm down with the ads
