Happy Color by Numbers Game

Absolutely, hands down, this is the best coloring app I have ever downloaded! Like others, I was completely shocked at how it was completely free without having to purchase certain pictures or colors like other “free” apps. At first I was a bit frustrated when the update changed the color spaces to a checkered grid. I wanted so bad for it to go back to solid gray. But I understood it was a bit difficult to see when the picture had a shade of gray in it and it would be hard to tell. Now there is an option to change it to either solid gray or checkered or white. I would like to see the app be able to turn to a landscape mode when tilting the device. Also, I would like to have an unfinished/completed tab in my feed. Sometimes I forget I started a picture and as I finish others it gets pushed further down and when I’m off WiFi on my app I usually look for those to continue and have a hard time finding them. Lastly, I think we should have an option to have the app synced over multiple devices so a picture I finished coloring on my iPad is also completed when I’m on my phone, but can be turned off for people who have children sharing an iPad and they mostly use the iPad while adults color on the iPhone or whatever. Just a thought. Thanks for creating an awesome and keeping it fun yet simple!

Overall I love this app. I use it every day and it’s been very great at calming me down and getting me back to a place where I can focus. However ever since the achievements started, I have concerns. My main concern is that I had already completed some categories and the achievements do not back track already completed pictures in the categories. Initially this did not bother me, HOWEVER I had already completed the fashion category and since the use of the achievements, only 4 new fashion pictures have been released. I have reached gold in all of the category achievements (except in Mosaic, Food, and Messages but those I completed previously and new pictures comes out for these categories still so it doesn’t bother me too much) yet I can’t make any strives towards completing that achievement for completing 30 fashion pictures since it doesn’t go back and count all the ones I previously did. Then you have the replay achievement, however it doesn’t count towards the category achievement, only the replay achievement. So it doesn’t count if I go back and re-color some fashion pics towards the 30 fashion pics category, only the replay achievement. It’s just not soothing when I look at my achievements and see gold all down the line yet I haven’t even past the first step for the Fashion Category Achievement since there has only been 4 new pictures since the achievements have started. Other than that, I love the app.

First off: I absolutely love this app. It has a large variety of images, beautiful and vibrant colors that blend extremely well together, and is very relaxing. New pictures from random categories come in daily and with more than 20 categories to choose from I’m never bored. I have become addicted to this app and I use it when ever I have a moment to spare Second: I was actually shocked to find that this was completely free! Most coloring apps I’ve used before this make you pay for the full set/additional colors, extra pictures or hints. It was a pleasant surprise to find that there are virtually no in-app purchases except for the 4.99 removal of adds, which I find more than fair. Finally: I find the new update helpful in finding colors, as it was difficult to find the un-colored spots if the picture had gray spaces. Another feature I love is that when a color has finished it moves to the back and out of the way. However I have seen quite a few reviews wanting a choice and while I do enjoy the new checkered pattern I think it would be more fair if we had a choice in how these spaces show up- gray OR checkered. I would also like to see a landscape version implemented in the future. I hope that the developers do consider these as options in the settings in a future update.

Very unhappy with the recent upgrade. Makes it more difficult to see the areas for each color/number. The edges are blocked out. Hard to tell. This has been my absolute favorite puzzle to play. The previous update was definitely an improvement when you made the gray for the color/numbers more of a pattern so you could see, but this new one took the improvement and made it worse. I would like to see this improvement removed. UPDATE: it appears the number of the pictures that do not have defined edges for a specific color have decreased but as I stated, it would be nice to have none like this. All color spaces to have a defined edge. This would make the game more pleasurable. UPDATE: I just noticed that the pictures that are BLEND (which I do not like) now have a label on the picture selection page that says BLEND. Great idea! This allows me to avoid those rather than start the picture and then realize it is Blend. Thank you so much! Based on this change, I upgraded the rating to 5 stars. I am also very impressed that you are responding to many of the comments. Shows that someone is listening. This is such a great program (I bought it to get rid of ads). It is very relaxing, which people need in today’s world. Thank you for your creativity.

Update: I got the new phone and I have had no problems using this app. I am thrilled! I’ve changed my rating to 5 stars. First...I absolutely love/loved this app. It has a variety of images, nice colors, very relaxing and my go-to whenever I have a free moment. HOWEVER, the last couple of weeks have been frustrating when trying to use the app. My phone freezes during certain adds. I have to keep rebooting my phone. It got so bad that my phone stayed on a rebooting loop for an entire day. I can’t say for sure, that it is this app’s fault, but it only happens when I am playing this one. I love the app so much that I downloaded it to another person’s phone so that I could play it (just in case the problem was on my end) but that phone started to glitch too (freezing, pixelated images, ads getting stuck and the game crashing). I decided to delete it from their phone to avoid the same problem I had. Again, I can’t say, for sure, that it is this app causing the problem, but I haven’t had any issues since I deleted the app from my phone, a few days ago. I’m getting a new phone next week and will try it again. If I find out that the problem was on my end, I will update my review to be fair to the developer(s) and anyone considering this app.
