Reviews for Zen Color - Color By Number

used to be a 5 star, but then you put on a new feature that I absolutely loved, telling how many cells left on a color. Then all of a sudden it's gone. I know the game has to evolve, but please stick with something for awhile before you erase it. And in my opinion, there are too many new pictures every day. I can't possibly complete them all so I have so many incomplete ones that just frustrates me I'm starting to search for a new coloring app.

I absolutely love this app. There are so many pictures to choose from and you can download the painting progress when you finish and you save the picture. I took away a star because I wish it had the option to name the artwork or if it came with its own title. I also wish it had a search option. So I can narrow download exactly what I'm looking for.

The picture selection is beautiful. Edited after nearly one year of use: Suddenly I'm getting ads that intrude while I'm in the middle of doing a picture. I don't know how much control the game creators have over the ads and how and when they are displayed, but this never happened before. It is disturbing. Edited after a few years: The pictures are still nice, but after the recent upgrade, the intrusive ads have returned; now they are constant. I don't like the new version commenting "Good eye"

An advertisement before and after each picture, BUT I genuinely like just filling in the numbers and seeing the picture take shape. A great time killer and relaxing moment after stressful people. The Ad interface is a little broken with having to close the app store and go back to the game in order for the game to progress but once you get the knack is no problem. Thank you for being basically ad-free without paying crazy money.

Started showing signs of lagging. Games updated, I have great signal, there is no reason. I closed it out, cleared cache, and restarted my phone twice. Uninstalled and reinstalled. It's still lagging. Addicting, definitely fun, relaxing, and glad I purchased the hints to be never-ending. but that is where the challenge comes in, and you can change the color of the area that needs to be colored. I wish there were more options to choose from other than the 3, but it works for now

It's fun, it's pretty, it has an ad free option that isn't a subscription. I would love it but: It has puzzles that are single color fill which are nice, and others that are pattern/texture fills which I HATE. Sometimes it even cheats on the single color ones. Not a fan of that. I've also just seen that some of the images are AI and that is a no for me. I regret paying the ad free fee knowing that some of it is just AI.

I actually really love this game and have colored thousands of pictures, but a couple of days ago, things went wrong. It's very laggy (big delay between when I tap the screen and when the block actually fills in) and my phone gets blazing hot. Came to the Play Store to see if there was a new version, but it looks like the new version was pushed out exactly when I started having problems a couple of days ago. I'll stop playing for now because I don't want to burn up my phone, but please fix it!

I would have rated 5 stars, and was even about to do so after 10 more images, but all of a sudden, the numbers for each color have been replaced with a progress countdown circle around the color. I much prefer the numbers and don't even know why they disappeared when I didn't update between earlier today when the numbers were there and just now. Edit: Thank you for such a quick response! but the numbers have still not returned, even after installing yesterday's update.

Like the game. 2 issues. 1. Can you move the help button off the coloring page? I accidentally hit all the time while painting. It interrupts play. 2. While I like there are different categories, many pictures are virtually the same just with trees moved or a different animal. More variety and newer items ( cars, etc) would be a nice addition.

Since the latest updates (September '25) there are a number of puzzles with empty cells, such as 2 sections of the sails of the ship on the 9/30 daily puzzle. It's mostly the more complicated puzzles. In the years I've done these I haven't had that problem until recently. Other than that, I enjoy them. The problem says programmers are getting lazy or are being overwhelmed.

This is by far the best coloring app out there. As a new mom, this helps to ground me and it's great stress relief. The ads are not intrusive, only appearing before and after you open a picture to color, and if you want to "buy" hints, which definitely come in handy sometimes when there's a teeny tiny 3 pixel section somewhere. My favorite category is "mystery" which is just a completely blank canvas that you uncover by coloring, no line art. I've already colored every single one of them. A+++

This is actually one of the best coloring games I've found--I've tried around twenty by now--and I use it daily. I also love that it's a one-time inexpensive purchase to permanently remove ads! Most similar apps want $5-6 a WEEK, which isn't a reasonable subscription fee. It's easy to use with lots of great pictures, but challenging enough to require the occasional hint. My favorite is the Zen collection!

I love this app! Relaxing, fun, beautiful pictures to color. One reasonable purchase to get rid of ads forever. Backgrounds are fun and calming. The only thing keeping this from 5 stars is that there is no Undo button. It may sound silly, but I like to color in a certain way to control the animation, and after one mistake, you have to either live with it or restart the whole picture. It would be very nice to undo instead. Or maybe have an eraser/clear color option?

I enjoyed this app for years, but have been experiencing a serious problem for several months. Last night, I spent well over an hour on a very difficult Art Challenge puzzle and was nearing completion. A strange ad popped up that I could not get out of. Finally, after several minutes, I closed the app. When I opened it to continue coloring, almost all of my work was simply gone! This was not the first time this happened! In great disappointment and with a heavy heart, I deleted the app.

SO AMAZING! This is the ONLY game App I play! The one-time small payment is VERY worth it for an ad-free experience and supports the great App developers. It is so satisfying seeing the little spaces fill up with color. It would be wonderful to have some more butterflies and marine pictures so that those two category challenges can be completed. Also, some additional categories of Old Masters painters. I would LOVE to do some Monet, Manet, Renoir, Constable, Cezanne, Toulouse Lautrec, etc..

Relaxing. Plenty of options of genre, ranging from easy-difficult. Daily pictures. Most are lovely pictures with diverse colors. Personally, I'd love even more colors with higher counts! I love zoning out for awhile. Only get ads between pictures (i.e., color an entire picture without interruptions), and they're shorter ads. I've used this app for years now. Can't say that often about other apps lol Good job creators!

I love this game and am addicted. However, the last couple weeks, everytime I click the ad for 2 clues, the screen goes black, no ad and it freezes. I have to close it out completely and go back into it. The single clue works fine. 2025 update. I downloaded again and restarted. There are way too many ads and they are way too long. It's distracting and annoying.

At first I enjoyed it. It was relaxing. but the ads increased and when you go to close them it opens more pages unless you hit this tiny little invisible window. Then it got to when I'm painting and it would randomly open web pages, and it kept increasing. No longer an app that promotes relaxation and it doesn't help relieve stress. ZERO stars.

I've used this app off and on for years. I paid to have it ad free. I saved my info so when I changed phones everything was there. I changed a few months ago and when I went to open the app and sign in everything is gone. nothing shows up and no matter how I tried to reach them, through the help center or Facebook, no one responds. I used to recommend it to others all the time. I'm so disappointed.

I love this app! I think this is the best coloring app I have found, and I have tried quite a few. I love the subject matter of the coloring pages. It's relaxing and there's never a shortage of pictures to color! However, I did remove 1 star. It just seems like 6 out of 10 pictures I choose to color are overloaded with Pinks! I get that pink has a lot of shades to use, but you don't need to load a pic with all pink, and not every flower has to be pink. There's WAY more colors can be utililized!
