Artio: Coloring Puzzle Games

This is my favorite app ever. I play it every night before bed. I love the different art styles and the animations at the end of the puzzles. I also love when details go into the background of the puzzles we dont even end up seeing in the end. I love feeling like I’m in on a secret. This app is seriously therapy for me. It gives me such a warm feeling inside. I was despairing at the fact that I was nearing the end of the puzzles with no updates in the last two years, but theres a new update now!!! I’m so excited for the new features, I hope we get new puzzles as well! I would happily pay for a no add feature or for honestly anything you could think of. I just want to support this app as much as I can. EDIT*** I have to say, now that I’ve played a bit more I must admit I’m a bit disappointed. The new iteration has lost the feel of the old one I loved so much. It seems to have lost some polish, and the new daily puzzles and challenges are just recycled old puzzles. In fact, I don’t believe any new puzzles have been added at all. I hope this is fixed soon and we get a new group of puzzles. Otherwise, I don’t see the use of updating an app with a daily puzzle feature. Who wants to keep replaying the same puzzles?

At first, the game was pretty much unplayable because of show many ads would show up, I mean there were TONS. Seriously, just way too many. Looks like they've finally taken many people's advice and pleas for the ads to be less frequent. This is fantastic. However, I noticed a very sarcastic message that had a lot of attitude behind it after this happened. They will now sometimes display a message that is something along the lines of "Sorry for the ad, we have to keep our app FREE, here's a free hint for the inconvenience, we apologize sincerely" Tell me that is not just DRIPPING with sarcasm and attitude. I thought I'd finally be able to play this game without being bombarded with ads, but this new attitude makes me want to no longer play the game. You people know it literally does not take THAT MANY ads to be able to keep your very very simple little game running optimally. You know you guys were just being greedy by absolutely shoveling ads down our throats just so you can get paid. Don't act like it isn't true. And now you're all gonna have an attitude because people are annoyed by said ads? Wowww.

Edit 03/28: No ad in the middle of puzzles anymore. Skippable ads when starting or finishing puzzles, sometimes both. Very thankful for this update! You’re forced to watch ads before starting each puzzle, as well as halfway through completing it. There is no option to pay for no ads, so you’re forced to sit through two ads per puzzle. The game would be 5 stars if an ad didn’t interrupt every single puzzle. It’s so disruptive to have one forced on you halfway through every puzzle, and seriously makes me wonder if it’s even worth playing.
