Needs work

Looks like this app was abandoned cause there are no new books as they stated every 60 days. There are only 2 n you have to buy them, so I couldn’t even try this app.

This app is an exercise in frustration! The only time I could get it to do anything was when I accidentally hit the paper and marked it up. Then the eraser wouldn't work! Totally useless! Try Colorfy! It's so easy!
Little bit of a learning curve, but worth it.

For someone like me who prefers to actually have the motion of COLORING when you do a coloring app, this app is perfect. It's one of the few I've seen that actually lets you color, rather than just having a tap-to-fill approach. They seem to have tried to pack a lot of features into it. I like the actual coloring, and also that it doesn't limit me to predefined colors or shades. The only downside I see is that it takes a bit to learn to use all these functions since it has more than other apps. Example: You need to tap zoom before zooming but remember to untap it before trying to color or erase (maybe that's what was going on with the other reviewer?). Stuff like this wasn't an issue for me because I played with it for a bit to make sure I understood how it functioned. I also wish they released coloring books to the app more often but this is all the work of one artist. Overall, though, this is the best coloring app I've been able to try, in terms of features. Once they get more book options in it, it'll be perfect.
Say what?

Looking at the info to decide to download, I certainly did not see this as a book(s) you can buy and read to children. I think once you buy a book, you can draw and color, etc. from that book. Not sure if you only pay once PER book and get "x" amount of pictures to color or what, nor did I look around to see how many things did you have to pay for. I'd rather they gave you pay up front and then just have access. I have deleted it as not only do you have to buy things, it also supposedly takes a lot of room on ipad/iphone
Now I'm just MAD

2nd REVIEW: Again....AGAIN, I spend a couple hours on a piece, open it up again later, only to find my work is GONE. This time, I could SEE my saved work, clicked on it to return and continue, and it DISAPPEARS. And THIS time I've spent $$$$ on a book. Wth? Until this is FIXED, I DO NOT recommend this app, despite how enjoyable it is BEFORE a stupid bug steals your accomplishment - a ridiculously easily-corrected bug that I can't imagine you wouldn't have found before launch. Everything I read in your instructions worked perfectly.... EXCEPT... the part that, in the end, matters most with any piece of work that you plan to keep. Can you guess? FIRST REVIEW: I saved my piece as I went along, totally engrossed because your app ➕ iPad Pro pencil = a place to retreat from reality when needed! I'm SO frustrated, because after three hours of this, if I want to FINISH this piece, I must.... Well, I CAN'T BECAUSE IT'S GONE! And NO, this was not 'operator error'; it's 'app error,' and as much as I love your app, I've gotta see a fix before I'm willing to try again. Help me escape reality.... Fix this.
