Renewal Problem
I renewed on 9 April, 2026, for another year because I liked the app so much. But after I renewed I no longer have the Premium plan for some reason all of a sudden I have adds every time I try to color a picture. I no longer have unlimited hints. Now I don’t enjoy the app like I used to.
What happened to My favorite app
This WAS my favorite app but after weeks of issues and one update I am still continuing to have issues. I cannot use the app for more than 2-3 minutes before it closes out and loses progress. This is beyond frustrating. I’ve written emails to the developer, I’ve continued to pay my subscription and this is my third review. Please please please FIX the issues.
Customer support sucks
I’ve also been subscribed to the pro version for several years, all of a sudden I start getting ads, I have reached out to support VIA the app help contact us section, i kept getting a response saying to contact us via the Aps contact us section…I AM, they say they will help resolve the issues…I’m here to tell you they’ve done nothing, so when support states under this review to reach out to them they are not being honest
My Premium version is gone!
Please help! Bought a new iPad and lost my Premium payment of $49 and not able to restore it in your settings across two iPads. I love your App, no ads!
I, still having problems with the ads appearing on two of my iPads! I’ve reached out to the developers again twice and no response!! They got one working but not the others. Please help.

Way too many ads
I used to love this game. But now it’s plays ads within ads! Each ad is 2 minutes long at the minimum. The ads are ruining a once great game.
FIX MY PROBLEM
I paid for the yearly subscription for years and all of a sudden it won’t work anymore. And no one from customer service is willing to help you.
Lost Everything Again
Have annual premium subscription-no way to get actual help.
All my pics are lost.
Can’t use premium features.
This is wrong on so many levels.

AWFUL!
I generally enjoy this app, but I am not impressed with how it just tries to force me to get an app that I don’t want, “BEFORE” it’ll allow me to color! I CAN’T EVEN ENJOY MYSELF! THIS IS JUST VERY, VERY DISSATISFYING!
Premium
Subscribed for premium but still getting pop up adds.
Careful
Loved using this app for multiple years with a subscription but I recently cancelled. My membership doesn’t expire until May 9th but suddenly every 3 seconds there’s an ad playing and no resolution within the app. A year paid should be fulfilled whether I renew or not.
Ad Free
I am paying for unlimited hints and no ads. Today I got into the app and it’s one ad after the next. I tried to restore my subscription and that didn’t work. As i have seen a few reviews about this same issues maybe you will fix it. I’m staying out of the app and have canceled my yearly subscription.
Disappointed
Greedy! While in the app an ad for Roblox comes up. The ad goes on for over 2 minutes. Then you click the X and it goes to another window for Roblox. Another 20 seconds another X. Then 20 more seconds and another X. I know that ads help with the updates for the app. I totally understand that. But let me be clear, if that happens again, your app is gone. There’s plenty of coloring apps out there. And let Roblox know that I would never download their app because of this. It’s totally BS.
Age
:( make it 4 and plus I want it:(
Over this
I have had this for a long time. I used this daily to get my brain to slow down from a busy day. Then all of a sudden I a, getting ads even though I have had a subscription for over a year now and now I can’t do anything because of all the ads that I have paid to get rid of. I’d like my money back or for this to be fixed. I have sent a message a few days ago and still no response.
BS app
the ad shows care bears and strawberry shortcake and i didn’t see any this app sucks im uninstalling it
AI
This app has been using AI, which is literal theft from other artists, and is super harmful for the environment. There are many good coloring apps, this is not one of them.
Aggressive Ads
I loved using this app to relax until they started allowing aggressive ads that would repeatedly just pop up over and over while playing. I got so frustrated I deleted it.
Your ads are out of control
I get ads. Nobody likes them, but you put up with short ones in a free app. You went from 5 second ads, to 30 seconds, now more than a minute each? Ridiculous. I’ll be deleting this app.
*** 10.2 Gigabytes?!?!? ***
Updated January 19, 2026: I deleted the app. 10.2 GB is too large. - Why such a large file? I cleared the cache and restarted my iPad several times!!! Please don’t tell me to clear the cache. When I do, it only clears 40 Megabytes.
Misleading add
I added this site because the add showed horses. I have yet to see an actual horse picture. Living up to your adds would be great. Again your adds show pictures that are not on apps.
No ads? Please!
I got this app as the ads for it stated no ads within the app. Big lie.
👎
Adds every 5 seconds ruins it.
Like pics
I downloaded this app and the images that are on Instagram are no where to be found, I am specifically taking about the images showing lovely perfume bottles with flowers, pearls different objects in each picture, where are they?? Did I waste my time getting this app. A lot of the other images are lovely but I want to find the ones I am referring to. Thank you
Trojan
I also am getting a warning about a Trojan virus. This has happened multiple times in this app. I have sent in a screenshot thru the Contact Us option.
Trojan
I’m getting pop ups saying I have a Trojan virus???? Why do yall give viruses???? Please stop this!
Deleting
You have been my go to for a few years now. But ever since I updated it, we now have to watch an entire ad for each picture. Some of these ads are almost 2 minutes. So, I’m done here. It’s been nice, but when I’m forced to sit through 2 minute ads for each picture that I color- I’m out.
Missing points
I play cashwalk. ( referral id ZMUQ1C) I have downloaded your app through their app. I am missing 346 points on cash walk and all they tell me is… “Unfortunately, the game has not yet provided us with any information about you completing this task. Please try progressing to other levels, as the game may send us this information at a later time.”
Please send the information of when I completed each task as some games are time sensitive. Once I receive my missing points, I will be happy to change my review. Thank you.

Ai art
So disappointing this app is now loaded with it. I started playing it in 2019
Ads! Ads! Ads!
I have enjoyed this app for quite a while. I know you have to “pay the bills” but the ads have gotten so long I won’t play it any more. I also hate the apps advertised where kings or other people are being squashed, impaled drowned - killed! They’re cartoons but it’s gruesome!
Great app with 2 flaws
The 3 flaws are…
1) the app gets HUGE… I’ve colored over 5000 pics over the last year and it is now taking 10gb on my iPad…
2) using it on an iPad it would be beneficial if it was not locked in portrait mode… it should switch between portrait and landscape modes..l this function has been in other apps for years.
3) they force us to deal with PROFANITY on their advertisements… Meme Color (and others) love displaying f-bombs…

Gone downhill
I used to love this app, but now ads pop up constantly while I’m trying to paint. It’s not worth the headache.
Ruined by ads
This was my favorite game. I played this game almost daily for over a year. The game always had ads before and after you painted a picture which I did not mind at all. About a week ago the game started popping up ads during the painted of a picture, and not just once but repeatedly about every 30 seconds randomly. Don’t waste your time to remove ads it is not a one time charge but a subscription service which is just greedy. I uninstalled and am currently looking for a replacement.
Ad at the bottom
You fixed the beep. Now while coloring the ad at the bottom keeps popping up and you can’t color! Stop!!! I have uninstalled it again!!! Seriously people!
Too many ads
i have had tapcolor pro for years now i have non stop ads at the bottom. then i'm bombarded by full page ads. you cant get out of it
Active Premium member suddenly getting ads
Really unhappy with this development. Why am I suddenly seeing lower banner ads and having to watch an ad before coloring? Very very discouraged. Tried reloading purchases. Tried rebooting iPad. Next I’m gonna try for a refund.
Ad free
I’m paying for no ads yet I’m still getting ads every time I go to color a picture what’s the point of paying if it’s gonna play all the ads. 😡🤬. Been using the app for years and never had the ads until last few days. So I upgraded to the yearly plan thinking I would get rid of all the ads. That didn’t work either.
Loved it.. till recently
I loved coloring on this app until recently! I pay for the premium and I am still getting ads popping up. I have tried everything ( clearing the cache, restore, etc) and nothing has helped. These ads are extremely frustrating which is sad because I really liked this app.
Holiday Themes
Please remember - not everyone celebrates holidays. Please include more general run-of-the-mill pictures during holidays, so everyone has something to color.
Example - it’s Oct 27, and 7 of 15 are not halloween, 1 is thanksgiving, 1 is christmas, and 1 is guess what. That leaves 4 - a laundry room, a mandela, a harvest theme, and a wallpaper. The entire month of Oct has been this way.
The boredom cup runneth over.

Not as good as it was
I used to love this coloring out, but now it’s to the point you gotta watch a video before you color you gotta watch videos before you color and then if you get off of it for a minute and go back, you gotta watch another video. It used to not be like that I mean yeah if you click on a color that has have to watch it fine but if you don’t have to watch a video, why should you have to watch it?
Well…just when I think you can’t get any worse
So, I’ve put up with the creepy trolls and mushrooms, the endless rocks and mountains, and teeny, tiny drops of paint out in left field, now I have to navigate around clusters of very distracting, apparently useless black dots. As I recall, the original challenge was to circumvent the crazy zigzag black lines used to cut colors into odd shapes. What in the world are you doing with this beautiful app? I don’t believe you know your audience very well. Maybe you should do another one of your polls again. When can we PLEASE see more interiors, floor plans, dresses, and mainstream creative instead of someone’s idea of Salvador Dali? And I don’t mean dresses with trains in them or Bambi or cakes. It’s just too weird!!
Love it but…
While using app, my iPad becomes very heated within minutes. Could you please fix this problem? This has been happening for over six months even after your recent update was applied.
Love
I love this app but I hate the ads , especially when I'm coloring and an ad comes in, that makes me mad
Unstable
I found out that if you get premium then you’ll have absolutely no problem at all….but if you don’t get premium then you will not be able to do the special paintings because the ads will not load…and if you do any other paintings then the app will lock up on you and finally close out on you.
No camping pics
I downloaded this specifically for the quote unquote camping segment. Why am I not surprised. No camping pics to color.
Ads
I paid for the app and still I have to watch ads. Very disappointing.
Looonnnnggggg ads!
Such a shame, this app has some of my favorite art but the ads make it too frustrating to actually use. I am fine with ads but these ads are so long. It turns something meant to be relaxing into an outright miserable chore 🥺.
Ads
Ads pop up too much every minute, sometimes less. Can’t even enjoy.
Great way to unwind
This app is riddled with ads!! The stupid ads pop up when you’re in the middle of coloring and it’s super annoying and frustrating. It’s not just once it’s the entire time you’re coloring. Ads ads and more ads!! Horrible coloring app!!!
LOVE THE APP! HATE CUSTOMER SERVICE!
I love this app. I’m disabled and this is probably my favorite app. I pay for Prime Member services every month. I color 3-4 pictures daily, sometimes more.
I always look forward to the collection sets celebrating a certain period such as holidays. I painted every single one of the 16 pictures in the St. Patrick’s Day collection. At the end, they normally give some awards, plus a bonus picture to complete the set.
I contacted customer support because on this particular collection, it shows I’ve only finished 15 of the 16 pictures. I sent them proof that I had done this. It’s a glitch in the system. I’ve waited and nothing has been done about it. So I decided to give them my appropriate rating. Why can’t this be fixed so I get the small prizes and the bonus picture to finish the collection? So frustrated that if this doesn’t get fixed, I am going to cancel my Prime Membership and find another coloring app! Somebody, please help!
