The monetization strategy of the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback, with users expressing frustration over the excessive number of ads, long ad durations, and the requirement to watch ads to unlock content.

- “I dislike that in order to remove ads, you have to pay a subscription when this app openly uses stolen artwork without artists' direct consent or properly crediting them; all identifying logos of the artists have been removed or cropped out.”

Also, could you please add Seven Deadly Sins and if you can add some missions like pictures to color/complete and get rewards and stuff would be nice.”
- “Color fan Reggie today; he's wearing your pants, yellow shirt, yellow hat, yellow shoes, gold tooth, diamond earring, and he has a big necklace with a dollar sign on it. She always grabs his crotch when he's telling a story like the one about when he found out his mother really has a grandmother. She always wears cheap cologne, drives a Mercury Cougar with a crown on the dashboard, and never pays his alimony. The extremely cut guy who never works out.”
