Color by Numbers for Adults

I LOVE, LOVE, 99% of this game. They have corrected the glitching issues I mentioned in my first review that I said I’d change when the glitches got fixed. So I know they work on things that come up… if they are aware of them. So, the 1% that’s going on with my game right now is… in the daily pictures, when I’m done, there are several, random pictures that will not show as finished no matter how many times I color them. Also if I go to see some of them I’ve finished or show the game to someone else it is checked in the corner (which means it registers as completed) but only part of the picture is colored in. Even though it’s finished. Sometimes with those I can do them a second time and it’ll show finished but a few are very stubborn and do not change. I’m writing this because I don’t know how else to let the programmers know the game has an issue. I still play it almost everyday. It’s simple and easy to learn and use. It helps me unwind. Unless I can’t see the pic I colored 5 times lol! Great game, great pics, with 99% that does work, great programmers!

New complaint….Just updated the app and most photos all need to be downloaded. Why fix something that isn’t broke. What is the point to that. Sometimes i am busy and can’t play the app so i backtrack. Hate when apps update and make the app less fun and more frustrating. Old complaint Edit to add .....so the new update fixed the opening view of the puzzle with getting rid of the very large numbers it’s still distracting when you enlarge the puzzle and the enlargement goes too far out. Please go back to two versions ago before the large number change. Was waiting for and was excited to see this update but only half the issue was fixed. I guess I’ll continue playing my jigsaw puzzles until it’s fixed or find a new paint by number. Shame because I loved this app I love this app and play it every day for I find it very calming. I would normally give this 4 stars (not 5 due to ads). I just went in and the pictures look different. In light Of this i would give it 1 star. I gave 3 as a compromise. The numbers are too large and take over the photo and when you go to enlarge the photos the numbers get even bigger and there is no stop to enlarging it like before. This is very distracting and makes it no fun or relaxing anymore. PLEASE PLEASE fix this back to how it was yesterday. If this doesn’t change I will have to find a new paint by numbers.

Update: The developers replied and said I should update the app, but I had already updated to the latest version when I wrote my review. All my completed images are still gone. Especially don’t like that the colors don’t advance once you finish one, but it’s obvious they want you tapping in the color area more often because the ad is right there. More tapping means more errant taps on the ads. Still like the end results, but the app is not as enjoyable as it was and I’m using it less. This is my favorite coloring app. Just challenging enough to take a while, but not too hard, and a pretty pic at the end. (Although I never liked the obnoxious logo obscuring part of the picture when saving.) But the last update had the app constantly crashing, so I reinstalled and, like others, discovered all my completed pictures lost. Looking through the gallery, some that I had completed before are now premium, some are totally gone. Also, the find and fill hints dropped to 1 each. Hardly ever used those, so whatever. Honestly though, updates that take things away are just frustrating. The premium price is much too high and there are a couple of ads that give you a “close” button but nothing happens when you press it. Still my fave for the end result picture, but disappointed with recent changes. (Also, please stop the pop-up hints! No one needs those after the first two minutes.)
