stability

The stability of the game has received mixed feedback, with users reporting frequent glitches and screen freezes that disrupt gameplay. While many enjoy the game overall, the issues with ads and the inconsistency of boosters have led to frustration among players.
- “3 stars only because you changed boosters. I liked the old boosters much more. You used to watch 1 ad and have a 24-hour double tap booster to paint the whole area of the same number, but now you have to watch 3-4 ads to stack HP to 2 hours of the same boost, which often glitches. From 2 hours, it goes to 10 minutes after 5 minutes of playing.”
- “Very fun, but sometimes the screen freezes in the game and we can't move to spots we haven't colored yet!”
- “Colors are nice, but the game freezes quite often.”
grinding

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and frustrating, particularly when managing collections and removing images, as the lack of a mass edit feature complicates the process. Additionally, the frequent and unavoidable ads disrupt gameplay, making it difficult to access certain features and challenges, which adds to the overall annoyance. While some enjoy the game as a time-filler, the excessive ad interruptions and repetitive clicking detract from the experience.
- “This app is so damn tedious and annoying without the fill booster. I have no clue why they got rid of it. I didn't mind watching the ads for an hour of boost; now you get two fills for one 30-second unskippable ad, and on top of that, there's ads every 1:30 seconds. How greedy do you have to be?”
- “So very enjoyable yet tedious game to fill your time, but when the game won't let you access the collections or the 10,000 pixel challenges because the ads aren't ready, it's very aggravating. I'm not annoyed at the fact I have to watch ads; strangely enough, I'm mad because I can't watch them.”
- “It's very tedious to click on the individual pixels.”
