The monetization aspect of the app has received overwhelmingly negative feedback from users, who express frustration over the excessive number of ads that interrupt gameplay. Many users report having to watch multiple ads before and after coloring each picture, with some stating that the ads are so frequent they detract from the overall enjoyment of the app. While some users understand the need for ads in a free app, they feel the current implementation is excessive and often leads to technical issues, such as ads failing to load or causing the app to crash.
“A truly free app, with no ads is free.”
“No ads while coloring pic, big plus.”
“Great pictures, I ended up deleting pbn and paying for no ads on this app instead, well worth it.”
“It's literally nothing but ads now to attempt to push you into buying their 'ad free' service.”
“The amount of ads is ridiculous.”
“You have to watch one to unlock (and really it's 2 ads.) then if it don't load you gotta watch a ad to go out and then it's 2 more ads to go back into the picture that never loaded.”

The graphics in the app are widely praised for their stunning quality, vibrant colors, and unique artwork, appealing to a variety of tastes, particularly those who enjoy dark and edgy aesthetics. While many users find the visuals relaxing and enjoyable, some have noted issues with image quality and the presence of ads. Overall, the artwork is considered a standout feature, contributing significantly to the app's appeal.
“The artwork can be absolutely stunning.”
“The graphics, the color, everything is just perfect for me.”
“Amazing graphics and the drawings are out of this world!”
“Graphics and play are okay; I found instances of low image quality, white spaces that are not able to be colored (but should be based on the image), and the coloring function was coded wrong (area was already filled in black, and did not change when tapped with the correct color).”
“Most of the artwork is dark, edgy, and has a broody aesthetic that I enjoy, but the majority of the art is female, the stereotypical 'big tiddie goth chick' variety.”
“Very good quality touch could be a little more responsive; other than that, great graphics.”

The stability of the game is a significant concern for many users, with frequent reports of freezing, glitches, and crashes, particularly after ads.

“It's a kind of cool app to unwind to and see the colors when you go over them; so far, no glitches, and most of the pictures that I have done look awesome.”
“There were no glitches, so far.”
“The ones that play while I'm in the middle of coloring always freeze the app, and I have to start all over again. That's the most irritating.”
“Game freezes, especially after playing an ad.”
“The pictures are fantastic, but the only reason I'm giving it a 1 star is because every time you color something, it either freezes up or kicks you out.”

Gameplay is heavily criticized for its reliance on tapping small spots, which disrupts the experience by requiring frequent exits and restarts. Additionally, the excessive and intrusive ads detract from the overall enjoyment, with users expressing frustration over unskippable ads and constant redirects to the Play Store.
“I don't mind ads as long as there aren't too many or don't interrupt gameplay.”
“The only gameplay is having to zoom in to tap the ridiculously small spots.”
“In doing so, it interrupts the entire gameplay by forcing me to exit and restart the game.”
“Ad before the app even loads then a long ad to unlock a pic that cannot only not be skipped but just kept playing again and again and anytime you touched the screen it sent you to the Play Store to download some dumb game that I'm sure the ad's gameplay had nothing to do with the actual game advertised.”
