The monetization strategy of the app heavily relies on advertisements, which users find excessive and intrusive, often interrupting gameplay and requiring multiple ads to access hints or continue coloring. While some players tolerate the ads as a necessary trade-off for a free app, many express frustration over the frequency and length of the ads, leading to a diminished overall experience. Additionally, users report issues with the effectiveness of ads in providing promised benefits, such as hints and access to specific content.

The stability of the app is a significant concern among users, with frequent reports of glitches, freezing, and crashing that hinder the overall experience. Many players express frustration over the app's inability to function smoothly, particularly during coloring sessions, often leading to lost progress and the need to restart the app. While some users note occasional smooth performance, the overwhelming consensus is that the app requires substantial bug fixes to improve its reliability.
“Smooth functionality with no glitches.”
“A nice app; so far, no glitches. The variety of colors is beautiful, which in turn creates stunning pictures. I enjoy this app.”
“That being said, there are repeated glitches with the app itself that make long-term use an exercise in gnashing teeth and tearing hair (not literally of course, but not too far away!) the app slows down the longer it's in use.”
“I tried logging out, restarting my phone and uninstalling the app but it still freezes.”
“Freezes, won't switch colors, lags, keeps showing uncolored picture as I move the picture around.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious, as the coloring process involves exposing numerous tiny segments of photographs, making it challenging and time-consuming. While some segments are simpler, the overall experience can feel laborious due to the intricate details required.
“The pictures look good, but the coloring process is tedious.”
“Therefore, the player is not truly coloring, but exposing segments of photographs in a very tedious way.”
“You start to color and see how they have broken it up into a lot of little tiny and tedious pieces, and some pictures are smaller than a piece of hair, which makes them harder to find and longer to color.”
