Polygon: Paint Color by Number

This is my favorite game on my phone by far, and I’ve used it for years. This past year, I downloaded the premium version because it’s fairly inexpensive for an annual cost and it’s well worth it to me since I play the game every day on my phone if I’m watching tv. My favorite part is it doesn’t require a super large amount of choice (like ones that have you decide which colors to use) and they’ve broken them out into different categories. I’ve also loved the recent additions of the event colorings like the pet event or the recent beach/vacation event. The only issue I’ve had is today the app suddenly stopped working and all of the pictures just show they’re loading on the app. When I go to the I’m not sure if it’s a problem with the servers, but I tried deleting and redownloading the app and also making sure my internet was ok, and it’s still not working. I’m hoping the game comes back soon because it would be very hard to find a more relaxing and fun game than this.

edit: it’s been a few months after i made the review below and first of all i noticed that you took away the test your luck button. it would be great if you could bring that back. also i have a suggestion for the next update... if you could make a scroll bar on the side of the screen for all the categories that would be great because i find myself having to physically scroll through them and it can get really annoying sometimes. also it would be nice to add a search bar or if it thats not possible even just more specific categories. thanks! _____________________________________________________ i just got this app a few weeks ago and i’ve been using it everyday, multiple times a day. i love it so much. to be honest i don’t really mind the ads, most of the time it only goes on for around five seconds and then you can skip through. it’s just so relaxing and relieving and the variety of pictures to choose from is awesome. most of the time when i’m done with one i just click the “test your luck” button and have no clue what i’m coloring till the end but it ends up being gorgeous. the only thing i would suggest is maybe put a difficulty badge on them? just a thought because some of them are more challenging and time consuming than others. it would be nice to know how hard some are in case you just want something quick and easy (that doesn’t mean take away the hard ones i like those too). please don’t ever take it off the app store it’s fantastic!

I love the available pics, even just with the free version. I can’t justify paying for premium but I don’t mind watching ads if it supports the developers of something I enjoy—and for the most part I do enjoy this app. My main problem is the lag. It can take several tries to fill in a single section and even when the app is running at its smoothest you can’t fill in more than one or two in quick succession. Also navigating around the picture and palette can be tedious due to lag. Update: Prompt and super helpful response from the dev resolved most of my issues and I’m bumping my review up to five stars! Thank you for the care and pride you clearly take in your work!
