ColorPlanet® Oil Painting game

I read a couple reviews. One positive one negative. But the rating was good, and the ads show lots of Thomas Kinkade which is an artist I really like so I thought I’d give it a try. For reference I play it on my iPad. I don’t think I’d recommend for a phone. I have done two paintings and I really enjoyed doing them. Here are some bullet points - - it won’t let you make a mistake. Which is really nice because sometimes moving around you have to touch a lot of spaces. - the moving around is super easy. You don’t need to use two fingers. The game recognizes a moving motion from a tapping to color motion. - when you finish a color it disappears from the line up and moves to the end with a check mark over it. - you can zoom way in and way out with the simple pinch and spread motion like most of us are use to. - when you finish, it shows you a sped up version of the order you colored it. Kinda fun. - there are so many subjects and paintings I think it’ll keep me busy a very long time. You can even upload your own photos I think. I haven’t got that far yet. —- Someone said something about too many ads.. I think I saw one after each and/or before each painting. But at least I was not interrupted in the middle. This is by far the nicest and well developed painting game. The small details of the pictures make it fun to color. Highly recommend!

I love this app for the pictures. They’re beautiful and they look better than any of the color by number apps out there once done. The biggest problem is all the ads. Granted you can pay a one time payment of $9.99 and do away with all of them, but my problem is the frequency. It’s more than any other free app I’ve ever seen. I’m addition to the “watch an ad for hints” (which is actually nice because it gives you 5 hints instead of 1-2), you also have to watch an app when you start a picture, another app when you’re finished, and you better hope you don’t have to check the time, or that someone sends you a text message, or calls you, or your phone warns you that your battery is getting low, or even accidentally tap your phone in any way that you don’t even realize that takes you off the app even for a split second. If you do, you’re going to be stuck watching yet another ad. Oh and let’s not forget the ad under the color pallet to top it all off. It’s seriously worse than any other app whether coloring or otherwise. I’m not paying for ad free on principle because they’re basically trying to annoy the living heck out of you just to get you to fork over the $9.99. Seriously, considering it’s all stock pictures, there’s no reason for that many ads!

There are several things that need to be fixed before I'll use this app again. 1. Remove the flashing magnifying glass that pops in on the left side every five seconds. I clicked on that by mistake because I was coloring on that side when it popped in. After that I had to constantly move the picture to the right to make sure I didn't tap on it by mistake. If you want to let people know they can watch ads for help, just flash the existing one that's in the upper right corner. 2. Auto switch to the next color when you finish the current color. I play with my right hand only. It's very annoying to have to stretch my thumb across the phone to the lower left side just to select the next color. Most coloring apps I use have this feature, and it's a must for me. I colored one picture on this app and had cramps in my hand by the end. 3. There's a ring around each number that you're coloring. Use that to show progress on the current color so you know how much more you need to fill in before the next color. I won't be using this app again until these changes are made. If you need an example of the perfect color by number app, just look at how PaintByNumber works. I'll keep this app installed in hopes that you fix these issues. Once fixed I'll change my rating to be positive.

I really am enjoying the beautiful and many pictures to paint and I use it daily but I have an issue. I like to look at a photo first, to see the color palette first helps me decide if I want to choose that picture at the time but the only 2 options are to either continue or quit. There is no option to tab backward to see the library again to choose another picture so then there is an ad again because you need to start the whole app all over again. Thats a bit ridiculous to not be able to at least peruse the pictures a bit -i.e. opening one to look at it a little closer. etc. This is why I am giving it 4 stars for a rating. Other than that I can deal with all the other ads because I think this is one of the very best coloring book apps due to its detailed photos and the easier not so detailed photos and the huge amount of colors available. Could you please include more pictures of the seashore and also more of children? thank you. Thank you for the opportunity to write this review.

When I first started using this app I loved it! The paintings are beautiful and some are realistic. However, there are times when I literally had to get a magnifying glass so I could see what the number was in the space. I have very good vision and goes to tell you how small the space was. Now we fast forward to the present and all of a sudden the app has been invaded my the ad gooroos. I click on a picture to view it, 30 second ad, exit out of the pic, 30 second ad. I choose one to paint, 30 second ad, accidentally got out of the pic, 30 second ad. I do like the fact you can click the spot for hints, However it shouldn’t be on the actual pic because it never fails that it will pop up as I’m click on that number on the pic and then I end up watching the ads (which I’m 99% positive that it was done on purpose). You can’t listen to Pandora because it will keep doing ads when you change songs. What I’m trying to say is there are way to many ads!! I may end up deleting this for awhile.
