Music - crashing

It would be nice to be able to play own music or have some kind of longer playlist so it doesn't loop so much. Crashes quite often - otherwise pretty enjoyable.
Monstrously Cute

At first I was like, "Wonderful... another money grubbing app..." when I saw that you had to buy "monsterbucks" to purchase the patterns and colors they feature in the review. BUT! Changed my mind quickly when I saw that they give you 10,000 "monsterbucks" to start with and you continue to earn more as you use regular features throughout the app itself. I see that everyone else uses this app for kids... I'm 20. I use this app when I'm bored and have a few minutes to kill. I didn't want any regular coloring app. Monsters just happen to make it intriguing for all ages!
Needs Improvement

The premise of this app is good, the execution is quite poor. The drawings are top notch and the colors and patterns are fine. The real problem is the performance. It runs very slow for a paint program running on the iPad. The interface makes it difficult to use, even more so for children. Most troubling though is the amount of crashes. My child has yet to be able to finish and save a monster after about an hour of use; annoying for an adult, even worse for a child. If they can work past and patch these problems then the app may be worth a purchase, as of now it maybe money wasted.
Terrible interface
Raymond Brigleb
Awful and confusing for small kids. Cannot use unsupervised. Keeps asking her to buy things. Stop using modal dialogs. It's an elaborate ad.

Cute monsters - not so cute interface. Only for patient, clever kids or adults. Good concept- improvements could begin with better navigation scheme and larger tabs for eager fingers.
Fun colorful app

Love the patterns and monster designs. Good for adults who like to color too! App gives you some built in point to spend on add-ons..nice.
This app is great, but...

Ok, in general this is a pretty cool app. The art is awesome and the idea is really neat. Being able to save, share, print, etc with the images is cool. HOWEVER, there are several issues that annoying from the get go. First, the biggest thing, get rid of the stupid monster bucks and buyings monsters, patterns, brushes, etc scheme. For a kid, they just want to color. Either make the images available or not but don't confuse kids with the colors some. Earn bucks, and buy (unlock) more flow. If you want to make money, then sell additional packs of these things as in app purchases. The app needs a LOT more colors, colors need to have opacity so they can be mixed to make more shades. Same with patterns. With those I expected something more like a Microsoft office color palette, where I could pick a wavy line pattern and then have it be any color from my palette. Needs an "advanced" mode to allow older kids and adults to truly finger paint so you can put a swipe of color here and there along with the fill. Would also be nice in this mode to have the option to stay in the lines as you swipe or to bleed a little so the monsters could look more artsy. Stickers need to have opacity as well as a "blend" mode so they can be masked by other elements. For example if a monster is holding a book and I want a sticker on the book cover, the monster's hand should mask on top of the sticker and not be covered by it. Again, overall it's a great app. The art is the best part by far. Just loose the more adult purchasing flows and enhance the overly childish coloring tools and I think you'll have one of the best kid and adult apps I've seen. PS - also, think about letting kids color a picture and then e,ail it as a post card or birthday card to grandma or something. Now to mail a postcard, I'd pay 99¢ per for that feature.
