Perfect app!

I absolutely LOVE Zen Color!! I’ve had it only a few months but have colored hundreds of pictures. There are multiple different kinds of pictures from various artists that give you plenty of engaging variety. Yes, it is addicting. I love that there is a timer but it only tells you how long it took to color the picture. I especially love the fact that it only counts the time your finger is on the screen and not the multiple minutes you’re staring at the picture trying to find a particular color. Another aspect of the app that I LOVE is the fact that I can hold my finger down on an uncolored space to highlight and fill it in. I like to color in the order I want to see it animate. It’s especially more enjoyable than going in number order. Developers please don’t change this!! My only suggestion to developers would be the ability to see the bonus badge counter - or whatever it is. When you receive a bonus, a little badge counter adds another number to the badge in the top right corner. The problem for me is, I want to click on it because it looks like it’ll “tell you” something. But it appears quickly and disappears. I’ve done everything I can think of to access it, even going into settings, but I'm unable and it’s frustrating. If you enjoy color by number, it is 100% worth paying for the unlocked version. There are no ads and there are unlimited hints. Unlimited hints are extremely useful in finding that last tiny spot that you eludes you.

I AM OBSESSED!!

This amazing coloring app has changed my life believe it or not! I was completely addicted to several iOS games and was spending all kinds of $money$ I didn’t really have just to play these money-grubbing games. :( Once I found Zen Color, all that stopped! For a while, I played with ads, but then paid the one time, very small fee to remove ads - TOTALLY WORTH IT! And now, I spend my time coloring all kinds of pictures and sending them to my mom, to my aunties, to my cousin, (who has cancer and loves a cheerful pic everyday) to my kids, and to my friends! There seems to be not just one, but many pictures to fit all these people’s interests, hobbies, tastes and personalities! I 💜love💜the fact that you actually EARN more pictures to color…you don’t PAY for more. I am so tired of in-app purchase games. But, Zen Color is not about that and I really hope it stays that way! There are literally hundreds of pictures and all sorts of categories. Also, I have tried probably 20+ other coloring app and I just end up deleting them and going right back to my ZEN!🧘🏼 If you enjoy being on your phone and you’re tired of getting addicted to expensive iOS games, please download this app! Get addicted to a fun, HEALTHY app, that also gives pleasures to others as you share your finished pictures!! THANK YOU ZEN!!! Jen in Kansas xo

Update- Bug was eventually fixed!

Used to love this app, extremely addictive until the prior update. Then one day all the completed pictures and rewards went blank. Pictures don’t save, whether in progress or completed. All apps have problems occasionally, but there has been no word about this from the creators or even an announcement letting us know an update trying to fix it was available. For me, apps only continue to draw me in when they return a (usually false) sense of accomplishment. Having the picture vanish on completion definitely removes that for me. So I guess… thanks? I appreciate your altruism in finding a way to break my attraction to your app. Update: Bug was eventually fixed. Recently new artists added and they're great! Still get the same style lovely zen and mandalas as before, but with more variation. The animals are now wonderful. More accuracy and details, more species (platypus!), better poses and backgrounds. The animal emphasis has shifted nicely to beauty over cuteness. Flowers are coming in greater variety of species and color, and the koi are often bright ornamental colors rather than muddy wild carp brown. New butterflies are showing up again, and the new simple category is wonderful for a mental refresher or quick break. I've fallen in love with this app all over again!!

favorite color by number app

My favorite color by number for mindless relaxing is Zen Color. The free version is pretty fantastic for this kind of app. Lots of great pictures, new images all the time. I find the music relaxing. I’ve been doing one before bed. They also let you share and you get bonus images by doing a certain amount of coloring in different areas. Example 3 nature pictures gets you a bonus picture. But even without that there’s lots of images available for free. The animation is cool. The ads aren’t horrible. They only pop up before or after, not while you’re in the middle. Unless you want to earn free hints by watching extra ads. This is so smart since the premise is Zen/relaxation. The only glitch has been every once-in-awhile I can’t get out of the Royal Flush game ad. No X to close out. Please fix this annoying problem. Otherwise very happy. The price to go ad free isn’t bad - $9.99. I will likely pay for it soon as I like supporting well done Apps. As a software tester once-upon-a-time it’s obviously well thought out and cared for. Thank you developers! Potential future improvements- several music choices, color choices as an option & if this is added then also the ability to use an image again and again.

Great variety, fun coloring but only on one device.

Only reason I am giving a 4 star is I and I am going to assume most people have multiple devices (I have iPad Air, iPad Pro and iPhone) I would love if there was a way to have this with all of the same pics I have colored on all of my devices and it was the same across the board. Instead on each device I have different pictures colored because it does not share across. Which is crazy in today’s tech. There is no way to update to show what pics you have done on your phone or iPad. Very frustrating. Other than that I have not had many problems, once the music stopped playing but the next day it was back, but to be honest I usually listen to my own music so I will mute it anyways. I read someone said they can’t complete a pic, I have never had that problem and I have colored a lot of pictures. It is a good variety of pics to color. I like the Zen, focus and mandalas. I do have the paid version because I hate ads. So I’m still leaving it as a four star because even though we can now sync, it’s still doesn’t sync it all the way, and my iPad only shows what I’ve done on my iPad and my phone only shows what I’ve done on my phone. And if I’m working on something on my phone. It’ll show that I’m working it on my phone, but it’s not colored. Hopefully the sync will get better.

Absolutely love it

I originally got this app because my kids kept wanting color by number apps, and all the ones they downloaded were not very good. Very limited colors, poorly bordered cells, simple pictures, etc. I very quickly started using Zen Color myself. Tons of pictures to choose from, loads of colors, cells are well defined whether large or really tiny. Some pictures have over 100 colors, at least one picture I did had at least 3,000 cells. I pretty quickly paid for no ads, since it’s permanent and not a subscription. I’ve done over 100 pictures and don’t plan on stopping. The following two things are about the only negatives I have. These are definitely in the “nit-pick” category of negatives. 1. I wish there was an “undo” function. Some of the pictures I really like doing in order of cell placement, not color number. If I accidentally fill a cell out of order, depending on the picture it can really mess up the flow of the playback at the end. 2. I’d like to be able to slow down the playback speed of the coloring. Some of these pictures are really cool how they get filled in, and I’d like to be able to follow the detail more closely. It plays so fast it’s hard to catch some small little fill ins.

Can’t believe this app is free

I’ve been coloring in this app for over a year and I love it. I didn’t think I’d enjoy color by number, but I find it extremely relaxing and satisfying for some reason. This app has soooo many pictures to color, and they’re always adding more. And while it is ad supported, at most I’ll watch one ad before coloring a pic and one after. I’m thinking about buying the ad free version, not because there are too many ads which there aren’t, but because I want to support this app! To the developers, there are two things I would love to see added! The biggest one is I wish there was an option to switch a given color out for a different one (e.g. color #9 is red, I want to change it to pink). Sometimes the color palette just isn’t to my taste, or there’s a lot of a color I don’t like. This would open up a huge amount of creativity with just one little feature. The other is that I would love it if the video replay that you can download would play at the same speed as the initial replay it shows when you finish coloring. The downloadable one is too slow! Even without those changes, this app is fantastic and absolutely deserves five stars.

Good, bad, then good again.

Started messing with zen color about three weeks ago. I was still using iOS 16. It worked great and I had a lot of fun. I upgraded iOS 17, all of a sudden the app started having a clicking sound in it. It was very annoying so I deleted the app. I tried reloading the app, but the clicking sound continued, while trying to use the app to paint. Went back there yesterday, found out that there was an upgrade version. Downloaded the app. Started coloring again. Voilà, no more clicking sound! Thank you for fixing whatever was wrong with the app. It's a lot of fun! Although, I have to take many breaks because my eyes get sore after about 30 minutes. [but that's the same with any app] Thanks again for fixing the app. Pat [about the new upgrade] although everything seems fine, it would be nice if you change one thing back. Please let me download the picture I color, by itself. I enjoyed coloring a pretty picture, writing a poem, and sending it in a message to my wife. It's not like I'm trying to steal, copyrighted material. The image size only allows it to be printed as a 5 x 5 with any quality. So please take out the background or give me an option where I can just download the picture I finished, by itself. Thank you for listening.

Love this app

I downloaded this app back in November 2023 and it has been amazing for helping my anxiety and just to relax in general. The ads were a bit annoying so I purchased the non ad version which gives multiple hints and no ads at all. I never use the music I will usually watch a show in the background while I color. I really recommend this app with the ad free purchase, it is $9.99 I believe but it’s 100% worth it if you really enjoy the app. I have colored 1400 pictures and my favorites are the Art Challenge category pictures, they have so much detail and lots of different colors and it takes a little bit longer but the pictures are always so pretty. Normally when I download games on my phone I’ll play maybe for a week then I’ll never play it again but this is one I use frequently on a daily basis. It keeps me off social media because I tend to scroll and scroll and that’s never a good thing. If your looking for a relaxing game and like color by number this is the perfect game! You get new pictures daily (make sure to fully close and reopen the app to see them) and there are so many different categories! Thank you for this wonderful game :)

Exquisite Pictures

I love doing the “Special” category where lovely shading occurs within each cell shape. The results are honestly breathtaking. My mind focuses on the work and absolutely nothing else, and sometimes I’ll work on them for hours at a time, one after another—the most glorious vacation imaginable, pure relaxation. It’s kind of magical, really. I wish they would provide more variety in the music, though, because listening to the same tune repeatedly for hours is hard to manage gracefully. Still, if the repetition becomes too annoying, I simply turn off the sound and keep working. I think this whole thing is addicting! When not in the Special Category, the pictures of interiors and Victorian houses’ exteriors tend to have garish colors—turquoise walls with pink, orange, purple, and blue furniture inside and all those colors together on the outside. Who could live that way? I’ve stopped working on those types of pictures because they look so silly when I’m through. The same two songs are driving me crazy. There’s a third one that’s very lovely, but it only plays—possibly—once in ten pictures.

Best in class

I enjoy doing a paint by numbers. This one caught my eye due to my philosophical practice being Zen Buddhism. But I think anyone would enjoy the beautiful pictures you make with this app. And the only cost is one to do away with ads. The only reason I don't give it 5 stars is that I've found (so far) that four of the drawings can't be finished. And I sent feedback about them to the developers, both on their feedback button in the app and on their website, but didn't get any response. It's very frustrating to not be able to communicate with them. The other thing I've learned is that, on the page that shows your achievements, once you hit a number of a certain type of puzzle you've completed that doesn't show you how many more pages of that type you need to do to complete a goal, you'll never see that target number giving you the free puzzle no matter how many more of the type you do. i.e., if you see you have done 84 butterfly pages, and need 6 more to hit the target of 90, you'll get a free puzzle when you've done the six. But if it simply says a certain type of page will give you the free puzzle when you have done 150, but doesn't show you how many you've done so far, nothing will happen when you've completed the 150.

Zen color

I love it. I start with the sky. Then I put the background foliage in around the focus of the picture. Then the buildings, animals, children, adults. I fill everything else in. I always save flowers and plants til the very last. That’s what dresses up the picture. I love seeing the separate pieces of the picture come together as a whole. I love art but I’m not good at it. I am creative - I knit and crochet, do all kinds of embroidery and needlework. I taught these things both in classes and one-on-one for years. I made clothes for my family, three children, and had my own sewing business for a while. I’m 81 now. I resisted Zen Color for quite some time. Too “easy, simple” for me. I finally did one and I was hooked. I’m going on 200 pictures now. I love the colors and seeing the picture come alive. Thank you. Keep the selections coming./ Jean Second remarks: I am up to 455 pictures now. I just love it. Very relaxing for me. Keep the pictures coming!!!/ Jean 3rd remark: I’m very close to 800 pictures now. Still relaxing for me. Not bored yet!/ Jean - 4th remark. I just passed picture 1000. Love it. Just keep pretty pictures coming.

Wonderful game

The coloring pages are varied in difficulty and subject matter, which makes it perfect for my different moods and the degree of mental alertness (I often turn to the ap when I am battling insomnia). I like that I can begin a page and save it for later. I like that watching an ad gives me two hints if I get stuck, so I do not have to spend money using the ap. I really appreciate the daily addition of new pages to color. I love the patterns and mandalas especially. I used tangible, “real” coloring books and colored pencils to relax some years ago, but my arthritis limits the coloring I can do manually because of pain and cramping in my hands, wrists, and forearms. So far at least, this ap allows me to pursue the same relaxation, the same diversion, without the physical cost. My only suggestion for the future? Perhaps once in a while you could feature a page where the colors can be chosen by the colorer rather than being preset by the ap. I don’t even know if this is possible, but it’d be fun. Thanks for making this my go-to for diversion, and making it a pastime I can enjoy every day!

Doesn’t Replenish

I’m not sure how often the app is supposed to replenish with new pictures, but it doesn’t replenish daily, every other day, and not even weekly. Some random days, the app will refresh like it is restarting and lo and behold, new pictures. Then I will see a bunch of others that are not marked as new, that I would see for the first time. I’ve had the app about 8 weeks thus far, and only had 3 replenishes. I do get the daily picture only, but not new photos for all the other categories. Oh, and so many of the photos are duplicates. I would do one picture and then a couple of weeks later, see the same picture. Aside from that, it’s pretty addicting, and that’s a plus, because I have other coloring apps, but this is the one preferred. Oh yeah… that music is nonsense. I purchased because I thought it was a nice addition. However, imagine listening to the same 2-minute music looping over and over again while you color. No bueno. It’s really bad when you go directly to sleep, because it will play in your dreams for the entire night… Seriously. Other times, the music would just stop after the 2 minutes of playing. Now, I just mute the app’s music and play my own in the background.

Great program but…..

I love everything about this program except it has a tendency to freeze or lock up several times while I’m trying to complete a painting. Sometimes that will last a moment or two, and sometimes much longer. I occasionally have to shut it down and restart it right where I left off. I’m thinking that it might possibly have something to do with my number of completed paintings that have already completed, which is quite substantial. I don’t recall it freezing up back when I first got started with it. I’m flirting with the idea of deleting some of my earlier paintings but I hate to do that. Especially if it doesn’t correct my problem. I am using it on a 9th generation iPad with the latest operating system. I would also welcome the ability to use the program with my device rotated 90 degrees so I can work a painting in landscape mode. Lastly, I can’t figure out how I am supposed to use the bonus features. So I just ignore them. Great program overall though and extremely relaxing. I love to work a painting while following a baseball game on TV. Particularly if it’s a boring or low scoring game without much action.

Zen Color

Just started the app, that’s why only 4 stars so far. Have 3 other color apps but this one is by far the best! From the relaxing pictures, to the bright contrasting color so you can actually see where the color belongs! The one standout that separates this app from the others though, that for some reason I find super relaxing is this…you simply put your finger on any number and that color shows up everywhere. You can simply do an area around you and move on! Believe it or not, I find that to be so much less stressful for some reason! Anyway, it’s really very enjoyable and true to it’s name…it is definitely Zen in everything about it! Absolutely love this app! Came back and gave it 5 stars! Pix are great, love that you can pick and choose what you want to color. Zen is the perfect name for this app! Love the music also! Very relaxing! Still love this app! Very relaxing and great pix! If you are under any stress, big or small, once you start your mind just calms down and becomes focused and clear! You can actually complete an entire picture with no annoying ads….imagine that!

Fun App

I want to call this mindless fun, but it’s not really mindless at all. It reminds me more of the “I Spy”, books I used to buy for my children. It’s very fun, especially when it’s something I can complete on my own. Since becoming disabled, this is one of only a few things I can physically do without help from someone else. The images are (mostly), beautiful. That said, some of the details of some of the pictures is way off. A horse with split hooves for instance. Bird & butterfly colorations are way off in some cases. Now if this was advertised as strictly “fantasy themed”, I could more easily accept the differences. But when everything else is clearly reality based, it’s hard to see those split hoofed horses and not cringe. And like I mentioned, it’s not every picture. I’ve only run across a few and so far I’ve finished a good many. Closing thoughts… fun, easy to play and worth buying to be free of the ads. I also like that there are goals and a daily pic to complete. It keeps things going, moving forward. I would have given 5 stars, but just couldn’t go all the way with those split hoofed horses:( Otherwise, highly recommended.

Great for relaxing

I didn’t play the game much when I first downloaded it, but now I color at least a partial picture every day, and sometimes I finish several if I have time. It really relaxes me. The music is pleasant, even though it loops, although I wish they would add more of the spa type sound, and I wish we could choose which songs to hear rather than have it just randomly open to one. But if you are tired of the one that opens first, just close and reopen the picture and it will probably be different. It gets repetitive to anyone within earshot, but it’s also part of what helps me relax. I do color pictures with the sound turned off too. There’s a variety of types of pictures too, including a mystery picture. Some have many small parts, others are more simple and don’t take as long. At least six new pictures are added daily. This has become my go-to app in the evening before I fall asleep, or when I just need to take a mental break and decompress during the day. The ads are not overwhelming. Overall this is a good app.

Amazing!

I have downloaded and deleted several coloring apps. Zen color has become my go to app for a relaxing break. The choices are wonderful and new ones arrive daily. The sketches are crisp(except for the occasional Art Challenge Color by Number entries). The pictures marked “special” are delightful. I love this app! I am fascinated by the shadows you create on land and the reflections in water. I continue to enjoy this app. Thanks for creating the Mystery Category. This is my new favorite, since I’ve finished all the Specials. Keep up the excellent work. I sometimes question your color choices (brown coniferous trees and purple animals) but when I complete a picture it always looks great. I have finished every sketch in the All category. Every day I hope for new sketches in the Butterflies, and Marine categories.😉I’m loving the new feature that tells you how long you worked on each picture. I do miss the little popping sound that used to tell me I was moving on to the next color choice. I’m enjoying the blue checked background, but fine it a bit difficult in finding small blue cells.

Very Engaging!

This is a game that not only has a product to enjoy at the end but sparks interest and rewards along the way. Completing a vibrant picture is a reward at the first level. Being able to keep it is a second level. One is rewarded by completing categories of pictures, too! To help maintain interest, the game designers have added help features like automatic sequencing in the color numbers. Even the ads serve a purpose rewarding the player with location support. Mercifully most of the ads are short. Not all, but many are short enough that the player doesn’t lose interest. The most rewarding part of this experience, however, is that the final result is an artistic and satisfying picture. There is depth and dimension in each. I have my preferred category and delight that each day has new pictures for me to color. This is a creative, reflective, meditative way to spend a few minutes a day and come away feeling refreshed and pleased by one’s accomplishment. I enjoy looking back at the library of picture categories I have completed.

Love This App

This is the best digital paint by numbers out there. I have them all and this is the only one I use. I have done over 300 so far and haven’t even knocked a dent in the library or categories they offer and new ones are added daily along with a mystery one weekly and bonus ones for achievements you make. It’s one of the most relaxing and calming apps I’ve found in a very very long time and guess what you don’t have to purchase a thing it’s free and the only ads are when you finish one and move forward to the next one or you have to stop and need to continue later other then that it basically ad free. I highly recommend this app to anyone that just needs a time out from the world & I almost forgot it also has calming music you can cut on or off that’s up to you and it also offers hints when you just can’t find that last spot to complete the picture. Download and enjoy and hey if it turns out you don’t enjoy it like we do then just remove it so what’s there to loose ????? ENJOY “I DO”

So far, so good... really nice

I do another color by number that I really enjoy, but wanted to add another slightly different one to my iPad. This has been enjoyable so far. It took me a couple pics to get used to touching the color number before the picture showed me the shadows that tell me where to color. But not to bad now, and I like the many different choices of pictures. Especially the water bamboo zen ones. It took me awhile, but I found how to have the colors change automatically. I do like this app very much. Update... I love this app, so many different types of pictures to choose from. No complaints. Still like this app. Wish it had more winter scenes though. I love snow. Adding another detail... I found out by accident that you do not have to touch the color before you paint the picture. You just need to touch the picture where you need color and it automatically brings that color up. This helps to color your picture quicker. Great addition...I love it.

Good app EXCEPT

I like this app so much that I spend 1-2 hours a day on it. It helps relax me and make me think about non stressful things. EXCEPT for when I run across a picture drawn by “Art Challenge”. This artist has a goal of making his/her pictures almost impossible to complete. They are VERY stress provoking because 90% of the picture does not follow any lines. Almost every picture has some areas without lines, but this artist deliberately makes most of the picture without lines, making it hard to find the numbers. Another ploy this artist uses to frustrate the player is to totally disconnect numbers from any natural order at all. In effect, the player spends all his/her time going back and forth, back and forth searching for numbers without any logical order. The puzzles this artist creates take 1-2 hours by themselves and end up causing so much frustration and stress by the player that all the good stress relief is gone. I very much wish that the developer of this app would eliminate all the pictures by this artist. Fortunately this artist is not a common contributor.

Outstanding Coloring App

I’ve been coloring Zen for over a year and still enjoy it over all my online activities. The vibrant colors and variety of options have improved significantly this past year. For example, I’ve never had any options like a stylish iron or sewing machine. I had one picture that is corrupt so it annoys me that I cannot complete it. I attempted to contact customer support over a year ago but received no response. Even though customer support is ineffective for me, this does not deter my enjoyment for coloring Zen. FROM LAST YEAR: I enjoy this coloring app better than any I’ve tried thus far. I enjoy the vibrant colors on some of the sketches. I like the Special sketches to see the picture progress with little effort, while having an option in other sketches to leave a focal point as I color around it. The colors are programmed in a way that I can follow the numbers chronologically, or choose to color the app as if I am painting it myself. I highly recommend this coloring app!

Fun, Relaxing, Unbelievable Variety

Want something to do to stay occupied during long waits while traveling, before an appointment, or simply for relaxation, something that's actually creative, instead of playing video games? Zen Color is my "Go To" app. Give it a try, there are plenty of free pictures to select from, in a wide variety of categories; I purchased, without regret, the Premium version, which met my preferences by eliminating annoying ads & made all pictures available. New pictures are added daily, & there's a library where unfinished, as well as finished, pictures can be found &/or stored. I especially enjoy the challenges that can be claimed - no worries, there's no time frame to finish them in - & the 2 ways completed pictures can be stored (as pictures or as "videos", which allows your completed picture to empty, then fill in again before your eyes, cell by cell, "like magic, Grammie!"). Thoroughly fun, very relaxing & easy to share; no video game compares!

Relaxing and addictive

I enjoy relaxing with this app so much. I don’t have to think; all I have to do is look at pretty pictures and fill in pretty colors. It’s insanely soothing. I see that other reviewers want users to be able to choose their colors. Please don’t do that, I love seeing the artist’s vision for what their picture should look like. I also see other reviewers clamoring for bright, vibrant colors. While those have their place, my favorite images contain deep blues, muted greens, and soft greys. If pictures were classified by color palette - e.g. “calming colors” and “lively colors” - that would help me as I love those quiet, calming shades. “Zen” and “Nature” are my favorite categories. FYI for new users - yes there are lots of ads but they occur only before painting a picture. Developers have to make money somehow so I don’t begrudge them the ads. But I do enjoy this app so much I may end up actually purchasing it because the ads are quite long and $9.95 is a bargain for an app of this quality.

Great pics, harassing Ads

If you love having blaring ads with no mute option, that loudly play sound even when your phone is on silent mode, then this is the app for you! The banner ads even pop up and cause the screen to go black where you have to close then reopen the app. Or best yet, they pop up and cover the color palette! Then you must go through multiple steps to close the ad. Waiting for the slowest 30 seconds to pass. Then waiting for the pause to hit the arrows where it takes you to another screen where you have to hit "done", which takes you to another screen where you wait for the glorious "X" to appear. Very disappointing as they have great pictures with pretty colors. I find this activity relaxing, but is ruined at the end with jarring, inescapable sound. Don't plan on using before bed, or when your partner's sleeping, or any place requiring quiet or you don't want everyone looking at you. The nice picture options and simplicity are the only reason I'm not rating it one star. They really, really, really try to harass you into buying the ad free level. Could be a great app but their ad approach is anything but zen.

I don’t even know where to start with this. It is such a good game first of all it has your daily library and once that you’re half done with and what’s the charity done with where you can look at all the beautiful pictures that they’ve already done it’s so relaxing the color with and I kind of find interesting that it’s the first game inspired by that at least that’s what it says. You can choose what background you want. I love that. It’s so aesthetic and paintings are coloring that you choose to do it recommends other pictures like that to your library or daily every single time you paint a picture like if I painted a picture of a dog in a cat, it would recommend more animal pictures for me to color that I absolutely love. It’s so aesthetic. It’s so relaxing and the graphics are amazing. I hope that you can download this game as soon as possible five star children appropriate I love this game so much. Have a good day. God bless you.😀😁

I’ve Been Zenned!

I’ve used a few of the top rated (per Apple) coloring apps and I really liked them. But when I downloaded Zen Color, I was immediately in love with the app. I am not sure what makes this app so special. Is it that it works perfectly natural? Everything is flawlessly designed. I never have to think about where to tap or where to find anything. Is it the art? Well chosen designs. Well sorted. Even a few of those pages with the *special paint* that are so fun to do. I really like that the artwork doesn’t have every color spot outlined in black, looks much more like a real sketch. Music and sound effects are nice and relaxing. Also it is really fast to load and paint. One of those apple top rated apps is so slow that it ruins my mood and I just want to spit! I just don’t know what exactly makes zen color so special but somehow everything combines to make it my ultimate favorite painting app. I hope you try it and enjoy it as much as I do!

Multicolored Colors

So overall I really love this app. It really is relaxing and I’ve spent so much time in just the last week coloring the pictures. I love to color, but I don’t have the eye for what would go together well. My paper coloring efforts tend to be monstrosities. Saying that, I’ve encountered a few pictures where some of the numbers are multicolored, and maybe I’m just being extra, but that just felt like a slap in the face. And so what if I’m being extra. But it’s actually really annoying to me, especially when the delineated colors within the “one” color are so obviously separate. Like if you’re going to do that, just make the whole picture a one tap and it’s done. I love going from number to number, color to color and seeing two colors together and thinking there’s no way that’s going to look good and then it’s done and the end product is beautiful. Multicolor tapping just kinda ruins that for me a little bit. I do still love the app, so I am giving 4 stars, but this definitely decreases my enjoyment.

Color crazy

This game is so relaxing. I love the saturated colors, the artistry in sketches, the variety in subjects, and the encouragement along the way. I never get bored with a picture even though some are very delicate, precise, and tiny. So challenging to find the last space in maybe 2 or 3 colors at the end. No frustration because of the helps given for just viewing an ad (more than once lol) and I still feel like I’ve accomplished the picture with just a little help. My favorite go-to every night and trying to reach the goals set in various topics. Always complete 2-4each night. Thanks for a great creative outlet. Wish I could sometimes do my own choice of colors but then the picture would not be as beautiful. I’m not an artist by nature, that’s why I do color by number. Thanks to the real great artists and thanks again for a really enjoyable experience. Not having to spend money continuously is also a great plus. Highly recommend!

Changed my life

I have severe anxiety and it was to the point where I was having panic attacks every day. I tried other anti anxiety apps but they did nothing to help calm me down. I needed an app that would draw my attention in and take my mind off of everything and I finally found that with this app. The second I start to feel like I’m going to start panicking I jump on this app and within a few minutes I forget about the anxiety and focus on the picture that I’m coloring. My anxiety was debilitating I’ve tried therapy, meds, and many recommendations from my drs but nothing helped. Finding this app has truly changed my life I finally feel like I have control of my anxiety and knowing that I have this app to get me through my panic attacks I’m having them less and less. I went from having multiple panic attacks a day to hardly any at all. I want to thank whoever created this app because it has truly changed my life

Zen App Rating

I really enjoy this coloring opportunity! The pictures are of great quality and there is a positive feeling when you finish a picture and you can watch it play back. I use different kinds of strategies to color pictures, whether it be a very organized approach so the play back is fun to watch, or a more disorganized color effort. For a time there, I thought I was cursed by your daily pictures as they seemed so similar and there were just so many cells to color and every picture seemed impossibly busy and intentionally made so. Now it seems that the daily picks are presenting a variety of different types of pictures and I really enjoy that. I also like all the different categories and sometimes planning to reach a goal of a certain kind of picture colored. There is enough variation in using this app to provide full enjoyment whatever your mindset is for your coloring time. Your daily pictures are just too busy. Doesn’t leave me time to do other pics you offer.

The Journey

I wanted to let you know that I am enjoying the journey through your site. Every day I open new pages. Some have me totally biting my nails as I get closer to finishing a picture. then there are those that I’m not happy with your choices of color, I don’t particularly liking the subject matter , or like today, doing a picture that I imagined would be green grass and leaves and learning that it must be autumn. The mystery pictures have really been fun. I do wish either all the pictures were painted flat, or more three dimensional, but then, too, that is all a surprise. I am enjoying the diverse subject matter. Be it in the complexion of skin, or the construction of a building. Thank you. You are so very appreciated. Linda I’m still enjoying. New message: thanks for the option to update. Hopefully the older style Asian prints and maybe even some stylized prints suggested by some of famous artists will show up. Thanks again

Zen Color

This app is a mellow way to pass time. I have been playing it for at least 5 months and enjoy coloring while listening to books or watching tv. I find it relaxing and looking as the pictures pop into life very rewarding. The only drawback I think is my phone’s fault as I move the picture around to see what needs color; the color number chart jumps too. Instead of showing blocked out areas of say 8 it might go to 128. Still a very relaxing way to pass time when everyone in the room has their thumbs on their phones. LOL😊 5/6/24 I am still enjoying the pages I color. I have learned I can point my. Stylist on a numbered area and the color wheel turns to that color. Which makes it easier. I spend too much time at bedtime playing because it is so relaxing yet exciting to see the pictures pop with color.7/9/24 Have sent out pictures as cards with texts. Still enjoying Zen Color.

Download this game!

As a mom, I wanted a game that I could play while I nursed my baby or had some extra free time. This game provided that for me. I love this game so much, everything about it is incredible. It doesn’t shove ads in your face like every other game does. You have to watch them once in a while before or after you finish a picture, but they never stop your coloring with an ad. The pictures are beautiful and they show you a sped up animation of how you colored it which is so satisfying to watch. I really appreciate that there aren’t pictures only people who pay can color, you’re given access to everything. This is exactly what I was looking for so thank you for creating such an amazing game. Something I think would be cool to add is to be able color pictures from our camera roll but that would just be an added bonus. I love this game so much and I look forward to the daily pictures every day. 🙌🏻🩷

LOVE This app!!!!

Soooo glad we “accidentally “ found this app several months back. My 70 year old mom and myself both are addicted to it. We NEVER miss a day of coloring, its so relaxing! The great choice of pics and vibrant colors keep us coming back to it. Over the years I have tried all the other color apps and NEVER stayed interested more than a few days at the very most. Zen color is ABSOLUTELY better than all the others!!! At first the ads were annoying but then I paid the small fee and never have to be bothered with the ads anymore AND also get unlimited hints. We especially like the daily pics, we wait eagerly every day until midnight to see what the new daily pic will be, and if it will be something we like. I hope zen color never changes anything, its all very good already, just the way it is!! Thank you for all the fun of coloring that you provide with all the great picture choices and great colors!!!

Zen is addictive!

I have always loved coloring since I was a child. I used to watch Captain Kangaroo and Mr. Greenjeans around the age of 3 and I would be sprawled out in the floor coloring. In 1st grade I received stars and Apple stickers on my coloring. One of my favorite memory was at Christmas time Mom would always buy my brother and I a new coloring book and a box of new crayons. I loved choosing the perfect greens and reds to do a wreath with a big bow. Green and red are 2 of the best colors together. The thing I love most about Zen is the brilliance of each picture as it gets clearer to you as how they come together so perfectly. Keep up the good work. Would love more pictures of each holiday (Valentines/St. Patrick Leprechauns/ Easter Eggs and Sheep/jack-o-lanterns/ Turkeys and Pilgrims with Indians/Cowboys/Bridal Party/Groom getting ready with boutonnières/Wedding Rings/ Bouquets and you need to bring in Religious options. Thank you for being such a great way to relive some wonderful past! Sherry

Legit BEST coloring app available!

Truly this app has brought so much peace to my life. The colors are vibrant and upon filling a color space there is no “burst” - like many others. That “burst” is so distracting and completely takes away from the peace these kind of apps are supposed to bring to people. Reason for 4 stars~ 1.) although the music is very beautiful, the “loops” are a little disjointed and not as smooth as could be. I feel a few more that could play consecutively would be very beneficial. Instead of the loop being the same music you just heard. Andddd…. This isnt really a “complaint” but more of a request… please could you maybe explore adding storm pictures. (Your sky in every picture I’ve colored, is truly awesome!) There are no rainy pictures! Or stormy oceans. Tumultuous can be beautiful too! Maybe so more tall ship/pirate ship pictures? But definitely some pictures with RAIN please. Not every day is sunny and sometimes it’s comforting to color chaos of sorts. Thank you!

Wonderful fun

Coloring was always a relaxing pastime for me as a child, and I was happily surprised that this digital version was just as much fun. Even before I chose to pay for removing the ads, and getting unlimited clues, I was impressed that I wasn’t interrupted during a session. And then when there were ads, they were much less than any other app I’ve used. Five star fun, for sure. I’ve tried other coloring apps, and they don’t compare. The drawings aren’t as good, the flow is rushed, and there are too many tiny (almost invisible) dots. It takes forever to do a picture, and it doesn’t come together as well. This really is the best app of its kind. My only wish, is that there were more of the “special” pictures, I love the colors in them, and they’re realistic. They’re also more like a picture or a painting, rather than a colored-in drawing, and watching them create the picture is a lot more fun.

Wonderful Coloring App. My favorite!

This app is wonderful for clearing your mind. If you enjoy paint by number coloring apps then this is the one for you. You do get an ad before and after coloring but the majority of the pictures are so detailed that they take a lot of time to complete so it makes up for the ad time. I particularly enjoy the daily pictures they release. It’s nice to sit down everyday and set aside time to decompress while coloring. I enjoy the variety of pictures they have available. I would often delete coloring apps after becoming bored with the selection available. This app is the exception as I’ve kept this app for around a year or more now. I even suggested it to my mother who also enjoys paint by numbers. She also enjoyed the detailed pictures. Overall I highly recommend this app for users. Well worth the time it takes to color in my personal opinion.

Relaxing & fun but wish it had more hints for achievements

This is easily one of my most played apps. It has a range of themes for pictures, from simpler (takes around 15 minutes) to more challenging (takes 40+ minutes). I’ve colored over 700 pictures at this point and only one of them has a glitch where I’m not able to finish it, even with hints. I have the free version and you’ll get an ad before and after each picture, but you can skip it after about 10 seconds. My only complaint is there should be more rewards to get free hints. Most rewards in the Achievements section are just new pictures, but I have plenty of pictures to choose from. The only reward that you can consistently get ONE free hint from is coloring one picture every day for 7 days. I know paying for premium gets you unlimited hints, but it’d be nice if more of the rewards (which are gained by spending a lot of time using the app) could get you hints.

3 days ago, My opinion to you

My review

I like the pictures and usually paint every day. The only thing I dislike is how slow it is. I like to skip around a lot and the program just can not keep up. There is a long delay and sometimes it even freezes up, which is very annoying which causes me to get frustrated and end it. I go to another coloring ad and wait until it clears up before I can go back. I would like for the program to respond a lot faster. This is the third time I have written a review! I don’t know if my previous reviews mattered however the issues I wrote about before have improved. I care more about some pictures than others, but overall like the selections. I would like to see more interior and building which are my favorites. The tiny hidden colors do not respond to repeated taps. I have absolutely had to quit on the pictures because of this issue.

Enjoy

I was looking for something other than games with annoying ads or games you can’t win and I found this color site. There are other colors sites I tried, but I deleted them from my phone because I didn’t like very many of the pictures find that my age it’s weird. I got addicted to this color is relaxing. You can turn the music on or off. If you don’t see a picture you want to color you can scroll through the daily month by month can’t stop coloring sometimes it just is relaxing, peaceful, and no annoying ads if you pay a very small fee. This is the only app that I have actually paid a fee to keep on my phone. The fee was not out of sight but reasonable because I use this every day and sometimes just sit and color. It’s like being a kid again but you don’t need a box of crayons, I think I’m addicted to the picture finished.

Love it!

Unlike other coloring apps, I like being able to touch the area I want to color instead of having to hunt for the color in the color line up. So easy to enjoy! I especially love the zen pictures, though some details are lost in the darkness of the pic. The only downside for me is the fact that some of the artist don’t have a clue to details about animals; specifically eyes and feet. Being an artist myself, it ruins the experience when a dog or horse (or cat, deer, cow, etc.) has eyes drawn like a human with the the ‘whites’ visible or the angle all wrong! The birds would be so much nicer if the feathers followed the lines and symmetry found in nature and for heaven’s sake, learn to draw their feet!! Terrible!! Even with these irksome problems I still spend (waste?) hours coloring in this app! I only dropped a star because of of the above mentioned issues that probably bother only me. On the whole, I highly recommend it over any other coloring app! Enjoy!!

Favorite app to waste time on

I love coloring on this app. But I really wish there were a few features to make it better. Top suggestion would be to have a search bar so if, for example, I really would like to color some frogs today, I can just type frogs and all of the pictures with frogs would come up. This would also be helpful in finding pictures I’ve already colored that I want to view again. Another suggestion is to maybe make it more algorithmic to cater to a person’s taste. Like having either a thumbs up or thumbs down, or star rating. I personally don’t like really cutesy, cartoony kittens and puppies. But maybe that’s another person’s taste. I also would really rather color nature and wild animals and plants than architecture or interiors. If the programming could cater to such preferences, it would be better in my opinion.

Fantastic Meditation Tool For 24/7 Chronic Severe Pain

I have been using this app as a Meditation app to help with SEVERE chronic pain caused by several autoimmune diseases, including a pretty rare one called Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, as well as Lupus. In the 45 years I’ve been dealing with this, I have picked up many tools to aid me in dealing with the pain, including Hypnosis and Meditation. This app is a really fun, creative, motivational outlet for me, but can also be used just for fun, or to help de-clutter your mind of the stress and anxiety of daily life. I have already shared this app with my close friends and family members, who have their own ways of coping with my diseases as they help take care of me! This app provides me with an ESSENTIAL part of my pain management, stress relief, and a fun alternative to social media! I CANNOT THANK YOU ENOUGH! Sincerely, A 45-year old wife, mother, and Autoimmune Disease Warrior from South Carolina 😁

My New Happy Place

I love this app—I might even say it is now my favorite. It is completely worth the $10 to remove ads and get unlimited hints. I could spend a lot more than that on physical coloring books and markers that would in the end create trash in a landfill, so to me it was a no-brainer. Thank you for not forcing a subscription on us. I love that there is a great variety of coloring pages, some easy, some hard, tons of themes and always beautiful at the end. I enjoy watching the satisfying animation at the end that shows how I worked through each one. If I could change one thing, it would be to add a dark mode that would turn the non-work area black or dark gray. I often want to use the app at night before bed to calm my mind but the white screen edges make that less effective. Otherwise, change nothing! :)

One of the best!

This is my favorite color or paint app. The pictures are nice and there is a nice variety of pictures, both in design and in different levels of coloring. It’s nice if you just feel like doing something a little easier and quicker or if you want to buckle down and work on a picture that is harder and requires more of an effort to paint. One of the things I really like about this app over other painting/coloring app is the vibrant and pretty colors they give you to use in painting your pictures. I have noticed many other apps that have been around for a while use drab and darker colors, staying away from true colors. These are a little depressing to work compared to the colors on this app. I hope they will continue to add new pictures to paint and that they will continue to give us pretty and vibrant colors/paints to use.
