Oil Painting Color by Numbers for Negative User Reviews
✓ Great App but too expensiveI love this app. Helps me relax each night. But $10 a week is way too much to ask for. Especially during a pandemic. Please think about lowering your costs..Version: 1.18.0
✓ Fun but....I really enjoy this game but...it’s really expensive for the subscription for a colouring app, especially when there’s other similar for a lot less and even free. A one off purchase price would be better than a subscription in my opinion, or even an option to just remove ads for a smaller cost without having to subscribe and pay so much. Rated three stars and would review again if option to remove ads only was added and maybe a one of purchase price was added..Version: 1.4.0
✓ Fix Fix FixAlright, I am a weekly subscriber and began using the app with an iphone xs max. I got the new iphone 11 pro, transferred my apps and information over with almost no issues. After data transfer to new phone, my previously completed pictures (and current pictures in progress) showed up fine but i no longer received the facebook messenger pictures. So i deleted the app in order re-install it hoping that i could get the facebook messenger to reset and begin sending me pictures again. Sadly, when i booted up the app, i hit restore purchase option and the app said it did restore the purchase, BUT ALL THE PICTURES I HAVE PAINTED SINCE JULY HAVE DISAPPEARED ALONG WITH MY CURRENT ONES IN PROGRESS. There is no specific option to “log in” and now nothing i have done is apparently saved and here i am paying ridiculous $4 per week for this foolishness. If this nonsense can’t be fixed i want my money back..Version: 1.4.0
✓ Too many problemsIf I could give them a -5 star review I would. I feel that Veraxen has no intention of fixing the Choose Another/Continue, losing completed work on an image, not being able to see the images in the News Section before adding them and the delete function no longer working. Despite repeated attempts to get them to fix the issues, I was told to be patient, that they are working on it, which was several months ago. I think it’s a scam and should be taken off the App Store..Version: 1.24.3
✓ Things that can be improvedThis is a good paint-by-numbers game and am enjoying it. There are things that could improve to the next level such as being able to play offline and having simpler artwork when you just want a 5-10 minute activity..Version: 1.8.0
✓ Help.You just put up a special colouring selection for Independence Day. It would be nice if you did things to acknowledge the holidays of other countries, for example Canada Day, which is on July 1st. Not everyone who plays this game is American. I’m tired of seeing American conservative, Protestant things acknowledged and everything outside of those parameters ignored..Version: 1.24.3
✓ Can’t turn to landscape modeI use this app on another iPad and it works fine, but on this one I have just downloaded it and it will not turn from portrait to landscape mode. I have checked and orientation lock is off on the iPad.Version: 1.8.2
✓ My subscription expired and now I have nothingReview update : 28 Nov 2020 My subscription expired today and I lost everything - all my completed drawings so I can’t go back and look at them or redo them. The app is completely blank. No point in having it so I have deleted the app. Previous 4 star review. I have 3 colouring apps on the go at the moment. This one is the best by far when the picture is completed. It’s fascinating watching the creation of the picture colour by colour. I’ve only given it 4 stars because I’m worried that colouring by number isn’t challenging my brain. I don’t have to decide which colour to use but instead just choose the number which is already on the drawing. I’ve become so lazy that I’m not even bothering with the other apps because it will require effort and brain power to complete them. Other than that it is probably good for my hand-eye coordination. Perhaps in a future update the developer could offer 3 options of colour per number - just to keep my brain from becoming too dull - or maybe providing a picture of the completed drawing and its colours, then we finish it like a jigsaw puzzle..Version: 1.12.0
✓ SlowUsed this app for a long time. Some beautiful pictures and fun to do. However, after some time started searching for an alternative. The icons used are in a very awkward place, way to many interruptions with ads for other games etc., very slow to the touch when doing the coloring, and difficult to see the sections needed to color in compared to rest of area. Needs a more pronounced pattern or something. Although I love the many interesting pictures, way to frustrating dealing with the annoyances to makeup for the beautiful subjects. So in my rating I would give it 5 stars for picture choices, and 1 star for awkward and annoying. Because of this I have to rate it a 2 overall. Fix those two things and you’ve got me back..Version: 1.21.0
✓ Je viens de perdre deux fois la somme de deux mensualités.J’aime beaucoup cette application mais je m’aperçois que je viens de perdre la somme de deux mois. Ça ne fonctionne toujours pas. Quand je clique sur une photo, ça me donne un message “something went wrong “ please try again et we are working on it. Qu’est ce que je dois faire?.Version: 1.0.0
✓ Doesn’t work with other audioI love this app but lately all of a sudden I can’t listen to podcasts/audio/watch shows in the corner while I use it anymore..Version: 1.22.0
✓ OkayThis app would be great but for some reason it won’t let me play music while I have the app open. It also only comes with 3 hints total (it should be 3 per game)..Version: 1.22.5
✓ What happened to the pictures??New complaint….Just updated the app and most photos all need to be downloaded. Why fix something that isn’t broke. What is the point to that. Sometimes i am busy and can’t play the app so i backtrack. Hate when apps update and make the app less fun and more frustrating. Old complaint Edit to add .....so the new update fixed the opening view of the puzzle with getting rid of the very large numbers it’s still distracting when you enlarge the puzzle and the enlargement goes too far out. Please go back to two versions ago before the large number change. Was waiting for and was excited to see this update but only half the issue was fixed. I guess I’ll continue playing my jigsaw puzzles until it’s fixed or find a new paint by number. Shame because I loved this app I love this app and play it every day for I find it very calming. I would normally give this 4 stars (not 5 due to ads). I just went in and the pictures look different. In light Of this i would give it 1 star. I gave 3 as a compromise. The numbers are too large and take over the photo and when you go to enlarge the photos the numbers get even bigger and there is no stop to enlarging it like before. This is very distracting and makes it no fun or relaxing anymore. PLEASE PLEASE fix this back to how it was yesterday. If this doesn’t change I will have to find a new paint by numbers..Version: 1.21.0
✓ Great App but Too ExpensiveThis is a great app with gorgeous pictures but there are way too many adds in the free version and the premium is ridiculously expensive. I’m sure that if the premium version was dropped to something like $0.50 a week (rather than $18.50!?!) there would be a lot more takers, and it would better reflect the value that is being provided..Version: 1.8.2
✓ Paid version is too expensive!I’ve been using this colouring app for at least 3 years now and I do enjoy it but I wish they would add some new categories. So much scenery and animals gets a little boring. I would like to see some people added and maybe some rooms in a house. I have the paid version and it always takes me by surprise when my credit card is charged yearly. The price is outrageous for what you get. There are other good colouring apps out there for free or a one-time fee that is a lot cheaper than the $50 a year this one charges. Please please please consider dropping the annual fee. It should be a one time fee like other apps. I’m going to cancel my subscription once it expires in January if things don’t change. It’s really not worth the money..Version: 1.24.2
✓ No starsThis is a total rip off. You might learn to not be so greedy and have a lot more subscribers. Paint by numbers in reality is cheaper and more fun. Those that subscribe are either not true or are loose with their money..Version: 1.3.1
✓ Why the 70’s female erotica???Not necessary..Version: 1.18.0
✓ Fast falling out of love with this!Positives - some great pictures to colour and very relaxing. Negatives - since last upgrade more and more pictures freeze which results in you looking all of the area you have coloured in. With these pictures you have to complete in one sitting which I don’t always have time to do. Some images have areas that you cannot colour and so the pictures cannot be completed. There are some incredibly tiny bits to fill and if you can’t find them, there is a search option. Since the last upgrade, you have to watch an ad (which I totally understand) to get two opportunities to search. However when you click on this, more frequently than not, you get a message saying that there are no ads available to watch meaning you can’t get this feature. This has resulted in me deleting the app from my phone as it is just too small an image and on my iPad, I am using this app less and less due to the frustrations. Come on developers sort it out! You have taken something that was excellent and made it less so..Version: 1.8.2
✓ The dark grey too hard to see for us seniorsCould you please change the colour of the parts to bc.Version: 1.13.2
✓ Ads!Not a bad app, but the ads that open and then don’t go away spoiled it for me. I don’t mind the ones that count down and then disappear, but the ones that don’t disappear ruin the game. There’s no way to get rid of them, except to close the app and start again with a different ad!.Version: 1.6.0
✓ My fave coloring app until...Update: The developers replied and said I should update the app, but I had already updated to the latest version when I wrote my review. All my completed images are still gone. Especially don’t like that the colors don’t advance once you finish one, but it’s obvious they want you tapping in the color area more often because the ad is right there. More tapping means more errant taps on the ads. Still like the end results, but the app is not as enjoyable as it was and I’m using it less. This is my favorite coloring app. Just challenging enough to take a while, but not too hard, and a pretty pic at the end. (Although I never liked the obnoxious logo obscuring part of the picture when saving.) But the last update had the app constantly crashing, so I reinstalled and, like others, discovered all my completed pictures lost. Looking through the gallery, some that I had completed before are now premium, some are totally gone. Also, the find and fill hints dropped to 1 each. Hardly ever used those, so whatever. Honestly though, updates that take things away are just frustrating. The premium price is much too high and there are a couple of ads that give you a “close” button but nothing happens when you press it. Still my fave for the end result picture, but disappointed with recent changes. (Also, please stop the pop-up hints! No one needs those after the first two minutes.).Version: 1.3.1
✓ Magnifying glass(search icon)I absolutely love the finished result of the picture they are beautiful art. But I seem to remember not to long ago having 3 magnifying glasses for each picture. After a month or so I comeback, the it doesn’t seem to replenish for each picture. So now it’s 3 magnifying glasses for ALL pictures instead of 3 for every single picture. This is sad and unfair..Version: 1.8.0
✓ Good app…butThe continue button doesn’t work for when I exit the app and want to continue colouring my picture again,I always have to fully exit the app then start back from square one.Version: 1.24.3
✓ Who programmed this thing?The gameplay itself is fun, but the experience is ruined by 2 big things. 1. I have never seen an app drain my battery as fast as this one does. This tells me that the developers are probably using some horribly inefficient toolkits to build the software 2. There are far too many interactive ads. And after watching the ads, every time you start playing, this annoying flying envelope covers the right side of the screen offering the ability to pay to eliminate ads. That stupid envelope is more annoying than the ads because you can’t swipe it away and it gets in the way of gameplay, and I can promise the developers that it makes me want to uninstall the app rather than pay. And get real—who in their right mind is going to pay 10 bucks a week for this? A one time purchase I might consider, but a recurring subscription is ludicrous..Version: 1.5.1
✓ It was fun.....but lost all my work..thanx to the updateWhen I first used this app i was extremely happy..... I had over 3 months of art work completed..... when it asked for a update i did it (sorry I did). I lost all my previous art work.... firstly it would not open, so I had to re install the app, in doing so I have lost all my previous work..... NOT HAPPY, i have stared again but second issue is i can no longer use landscape on my iPad..... I’m still using the app but it’s annoying not being able to use landscape and starting my collection again.....Version: 1.8.2
✓ UpdateLove the game but the new pictures are becoming not as realistic which is the main reason I love this game..Version: 1.24.3
✓ Fun at first, but not now.This game has been enjoyable for quite awhile, but I’ve been noticing some of the pictures have an extraordinary number of different colors in it, and most of these only color 1 or 2 spaces each. An example is the picture of three surfboards with a circular, blue background. There are 168 different colors in it. That wouldn’t necessarily be a bad thing if the color differences made some sense, but many of these nonsensical colors also appear to be repeats of colors that were used previously, elsewhere in the picture. Maybe it’s more difficult because my eyesight isn’t the greatest, and even though hunting and finding the very tiny dots of color is OK when there are only a few of them, having to spend a lot of time finding them causes eye strain that’s really uncomfortable. There have been other pictures, such as the horse with the beige colored eye, that are equally distracting and, since there’s no way to determine that prior to getting started on a particular painting, this app isn’t fun anymore. Again, I loved this app for a long time, but I’ll be deleting it..Version: 1.3.1
✓ Oil paintingNice pics, but why do you shade the nos in grey? Too hard to see. Why not blue or red?.Version: 1.16.0
✓ I was HopefulThis app had a lot of good reviews so I was hopeful. But it did not take long for that feeling to fade. I started looking through all of the pictures and noticed most of them had little icons in the corner. Not knowing what they were, I clicked on the picture to find out. One of them told me I had to watch an ad to color those pictures. The other one told me they were for "premium" members and I can join the club for $20 a week! That's crazy! $20 a week! I continued on trying to find a picture to try. Now I really, really like dolphins. And I found one but I was really crushed to find out it was for the premium club members only. Just CRUSHED!! So I pick a picture to try out. One that wasn't premium or required me to watch an ad. Guess what I was greeted with? An ad that I had to watch! But I picked one that didn't require me to watch an ad! What the heck! What's the point of blocking some of the good pictures unless I watch an ad if you're forced to watch one anyway?! I think I'm going to remove this app..Version: 1.1.0
✓ I have old pictures that doesn’t work on this new versionThis new version that I download doesn’t work, because I have old colouring pictures that I haven’t done yet. eg. Christmas Day, Halloween day, it doesn’t open up..Version: 1.21.0
✓ New Inappropriate Categories??This app is pretty soothing most of the time but I just noticed two new categories with erotica and gore? Wtaf is this?? I don’t have a personal problem with this but there’s kids on these apps! That should have absolutely been either behind a paywall or locked. Straight up irresponsible..Version: 1.18.0
✓ Don’t waste your moneyKeeps telling me “Something went wrong, we are fixing the problem” every time I tried to select a picture to work on (tried 30+ different ones over several weeks with the same result). Rip off!.Version: 1.0.0
✓ Oil painting appRien ne va plus! Quand j’ai téléchargé l’application, il y a à peu près 3-4 ans, tout fonctionnait comme il faut. Depuis un bon bout de temps les tableaux gèlent tout le temps à tel point que je vais sur une autre application de peinture à numéros. Est-ce que je suis la seule à qui ça arrive? C’est devenu tellement stressant au lieu que relaxant.Version: 1.19.0
✓ No longer enjoyable...Very disappointed in the recent changes made. Maker has now added a subscription so u can eliminate ads...there r still some paintings that are free to do, but all the best ones are now locked into a subscription..Version: 1.17.2
✓ Lovely pictures but app keeps crashingThis is without doubt the colouring app with the best pictures. I would rate it 5⭐️ except that it keeps crashing. Often when I open it on my iPad I just get a blank white screen, which does nothing. I have had to reinstall it 3 times over the last week or so. I guess the fact that I’m doing so means something …..Version: 1.23.0
✓ Love this but it heats up my phoneLove love love I’m so addicted to this calming painting. But for some reason my phone heats up when playing so have to stop every half hr. It doesn’t heat up being charged or use of other games so I’m confused. Please consider the prices it’s way too overpriced so it will be beaten by another app soon..Version: 1.4.0
✓ Lost workWhat a waste of time. Hours and hours of work just to have them do an upgrade which wiped out everything. Oh well that’s one app that won’t be reloaded on this iPad again After two so called fixes has resulted in NO DIFFERENCE. Why can’t you accept you have stuffed up and realise there are many many upset users. Perhaps you should be concentrating on the geek that did the update that lost all the data and the date it happened. Then look at your server backups and restore the data to before the stuff up..Version: 1.3.1
✓ Was brilliant til…I absolutely love this app, I’ve been using it for a few years now and find it so relaxing and therapeutic. It would easily have been 5 stars but it has literally just starting interrupting my colouring by adverts popping up, sometimes within seconds of each other which is very frustrating. This never used to happen so am guessing it’s some kind of blip so hopefully you can sort it out asap because it stops your flow of colouring and can cause sudden stress! Otherwise it’s great!.Version: 1.22.5
✓ Great app but adverts really annoyingSuperb pictures and colours support each different picture. Until about three or four weeks ago, the adverts were not too intrusive. However, I feel there has been a change of ownership and/or management as there have been slight changes in the colouring application on most, if not all, pictures. Also, there are more adverts and the most annoying change is the advert that is pulled out when pulling along the colours from the right. It takes great care not to grab the palette and pull out the advert. It annoyed me so much that I have deleted the app. Disappointing..Version: 1.5.1
✓ What’s with the adsThis colouring in app was one of my favs, but this latest update has put ads in the middle of colouring in the pictures. I am quite happy to watch ads at the start and at the end but don’t enjoy my relaxing time of colouring being interrupted not even 10mins in. If I left the app and then returned to colour fair enough, but I haven’t. You would have gotten 5stars like in the past, but now I can only give you 3. Disappointed as I love to do the holiday theme pictures but if I am to be constantly interrupted by midway ads there will be no joy here this Christmas.Version: 1.23.0
✓ What happened?First…what happened to the details? Used to be a lot of colors- couple hundred or so for the average picture. Now I’m seeing a pattern of 50/60ish colors per picture. Pictures are not as pretty. Second…the app keeps freezing. Sometimes I have to hard close out of it and restart, but my progress is gone for the current picture I was coloring. Sometimes it unfreezes by itself, but is sluggish/keeps freezing, which requires closing out of app and restarting. And several times during my coloring session, the app crashes, and causes my progress in current picture to be deleted. My app is updated to current version. My devices are all up-to-date. Please regain your quality. This has been the BEST coloring app for me personally, but I am quickly falling in love with another coloring app due to the detailed pictures and no crashing/losing progress..Version: 1.21.1
✓ What Happened?Let me start by saying that I loved this app so much that after two months I purchased the one year subscription. I’ve steadily been working through the pictures, and really appreciate the freebies on Facebook and Instagram. However the update this weekend has freaked me out. Previously I was more then happy to zoom in and look for numbers but the massive numbers in the latest update make the page so busy that I’m struggling to colour the smaller boxes as I don’t want to expand the screen. As a previous reviewer said can this not be a feature that can be turned on or off per preference otherwise I don’t think I’ll be using the app as much over the next eight months, or maybe will need to request a refund..Version: 1.7.2
✓ Good gameToo many ads.Version: 1.6.2
✓ UnsureI have downloaded a lot of colouring apps but not sure about this app. I read the reviews and some are good but some people are disappointed in this game. I have a lot of colouring apps as I only have one hand and colouring apps like this app are good when you are unable to use colouring books 📖 and I have a few colouring books that are not easy to use but when my iPad had too go to be repaired I had to use my colouring books 📚. While the iPad was away I found it hard to colour the pictures I wanted to do but now it is back I can do the colouring apps and not stress out about my good hand aching. A friend broke her finger so she now understands what it is like for me. Updated I have downloaded this game again but I hope it isn’t a mistake as I downloaded this game but when I went to play it it froze and so had to delete it losing all my work. The thing I was happy about was that I had saved work as background for my iPad. If it happens again I will have to delete it again and I won’t download it again..Version: 1.13.2
✓ Very disappointedI have use this app for many years. But lately there’s some kind of bug. I work on a picture and it doesn’t save my changes anymore so I am not.very happy waste my time doing a picture and then come back to it and all my work is gone. Too bad this was my favourite app but now it is getting replaced. There are tons of apps just like this one so time to move on. Do yourself a favour and look for something better. Since they got greedy and made is subscription they ruined the app. Don’t try to change a good thing to make an extra buck. People will just move on..Version: 1.24.3
✓ Losing ProgressI loved this app for my commutes, but recently it keeps erasing my progress on each picture. It’s not worth playing if I keep having to start over again. ETA: Emailed support as instructed and was told that this app is no longer being updated or supported, so I guess this is never getting fixed..Version: 1.24.3
✓ Intrusive ads ruin this appThis app is pretty fun and has some good pictures. However, the experience is ruined by the intrusive ads. An ad plays every single time you enter the app, even if you only exited for a few seconds to check a text. There are banner ads that sometimes randomly expand to take up half the screen while you’re playing, and there’s no way to minimize them besides closing out of the app. If you’re listening to music or podcasts while you color, this app will turn off your sound even when it doesn’t have an ad with audio playing. I totally understand that ads are how they make money, but they shouldn’t ruin the experience. Also, the cost for premium membership to get rid of ads is outrageous...$10 per week?! Finally, this app drains my phone battery like no other. Probably because of all the ads..Version: 1.3.1
✓ Trop de publicitéRelaxant si on parvient à attendre la fin des publicités interminables qui nous proposent un tas de boutons à cliquer pour nous inciter presque de force à télécharger d’autres jeux. Dommage!.Version: 1.24.2
✓ Beautiful Pictures, BUT#1. I’m giving this app 3 stars because of the fact that you can only upgrade the app if you’re willing to pay so much money a week, monthly or yearly. Now I’m one that that will pay 5to 6 bucks, possibly 10 bucks for a 1 time fee for an app. But I can promise I will never ever pay monthly to color a picture on my phone. Honey bottom line is, if I can’t eat it I won’t pay it! #2. Please get rid of the color change if I hit the wrong number or give me the option to not use it. #3. I would also like to be able to not see a pop up when I’ve found all of one number that’s says pick a number. Now if all the above was fixed I would definitely give it 5 ⭐️..Version: 1.2.0
✓ New downloadI had to download this app again and it now comes on my screen sideways, is there a reason for this. I have been using it for a long time before I had to reload again and it was fine and I really enjoy it, but now I think I will have to stop using it as it’s not so easy with the screen sideways, or can this be fixed?? Again I ask please can you change it back to the way it was... So it doesn’t come on sideways....PLEASE!!!.Version: 1.9.1
✓ Great app! But...This is really a great app. Very addicting and can be played for hours. I love this app, but soon realized it was taking up WAY too much storage space on my phone. The app itself doesn’t but when you complete many pictures it takes up more and more storage each time. I was so confused as to why my phone kept saying my storage was full when I didn’t have that many apps. I looked and saw that this app was taking up a little more than 10 GB of storage! I had to delete the app because of this. I have had this app for over a year and had completed many puzzles. I am going to miss this app but I don’t think it’s worth all that storage being taken up..Version: 1.13.0
✓ Great app. Need NEW content. Done all picturesI got this app for my mom who is not a person who uses electronics. She is not well and has spent hours on my iPad everyday with it. We’ve tried other apps and they don’t even compare as far as artistic quality, color and ease of use. Being artists we appreciate the high quality of the art. She has done over 1200 pictures pretty much every one in the app. Despite the glowing comments she has been frustrated lately with the lack of new art work and the quality of the dailies. The “new” content isn’t new and the childish pictures are not of interest to her. She feels like she has exhausted this app and actually really frustrated. We’ve looked at other apps again but she just wants his app to have more content. Thank you for making a great app. Keep up the good work!.Version: 1.7.2
✓ Beautiful art, system could be betterUpdate 2 - now not only is it not working well in the picture with the ads, but it crashes constantly. Could be a 5 star app but it needs some major fixing to even get back to a 3 star Update: did the free 3 day trial and works much smoother on moving around the screen, so it must be their ads on screen that make it not as easy to use. If the cost was less to go ad free I would consider it, but it is way too overpriced as it is now in my opinion. The pictures themselves are great, with a great selection of free choices. The VIP pricing is ridiculous - a one time fee of $39 would be high, a monthly fee of that price is way too expensive. I don’t love the way that everything appears gray until you zoom way in, it makes it harder to find the selected color spots for no reason. I also get frustrated that it changes the color of the areas you touch that aren’t the color you use. All this does is make zooming in and moving around the pictures unnecessarily difficult. All in all, a good product that with a few tweaks could be great..Version: 1.19.0
✓ Stopped workingI’ve had this app for a while and I’ve always enjoyed it. It’s a good pastime, although each piece is always intricate. There’s a membership necessity for half of the pictures and when you run out of freebies, you’re just stuck. No ads to get a pic, nothing. Got kinda annoying, but still was a great app. That was until recently. I jumped into the app a day or two ago and it showed the first entry screen of the logo, and loaded. And loaded. And loaded some more. And then, it kicked me back to the home screen. None of my other apps are having this issue. This might be a bug? I restarted my phone and it didn’t help. Sadly, because of this issue, I plan on deleting the app from my phone due to lack of ability to use it, and I hope that they fix that bug in the future..Version: 1.3.0
