The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism from users, primarily due to the excessive number of ads that interrupt gameplay. Many players express frustration over being forced to watch ads to access features or save artwork, which detracts from the overall enjoyment of the game. While some acknowledge the need for ads in a free app, the overwhelming frequency and intrusiveness of these ads have led to a negative impact on user experience, with calls for a reduction in their prevalence.
- “I like this game because there are no ads and when you are done the picture looks really pretty good.”
- “Absolutely amazing app, the pictures are fantastic, not too hard, beautiful colors, and best of all, no ads.”
- “I really like this game because there are no ads in the middle of the coloring and this game is for those who really like art.”
- “Too many ads pop up before and after opening a picture, the UI looks horrible (the old one is better), the fact that you have to watch an ad or buy premium to save a photo when earlier you could just do it for free seems like it's now focused more on ad revenue rather than the enjoyment of the user.”
- “This used to be my favorite app but nowadays if I'm about to click it, it makes me think of all the ads and sudden blank screen, making me feel bitter and ended up playing another game.”
