The monetization aspect of the app has received mixed reviews, with many users expressing frustration over the frequency and intrusiveness of ads, particularly those that play before, during, and after gameplay.

The music in the game is generally described as calming and relaxing, enhancing the overall experience for many players. However, there are frequent complaints about the repetitive nature of the tunes, with requests for a wider variety of music options and better controls for muting or adjusting the music settings. Players appreciate the soothing background music but often prefer the ability to listen to their own music while using the app.
“The music is very calming.”
“I absolutely love this game; it is really fun and very relaxing with the lovely peaceful music that is playing.”
“I find this particular app extremely soothing, especially with the music and sounds.”
“Also, please adjust the music attached as it plays the same tune over and over and over and over... you get my drift. Maybe add a drop-down menu of similar tunes, so we can pick what we like, but please make sure it plays longer than what you have now as I end up turning it off. Annoying, thank you!”
“Lovely and relaxing app, however, gone on it today and annoying music playing over relaxing music that doesn't stop, even coming out of the app, music still playing, have to restart my phone to stop it.”
“But the music won't turn off... it gets irritating and keeps playing after I get out of your app!!!”

“Fantastic game with beautiful artwork, very relaxing. The ads do not interrupt the game at all, and I would happily pay to remove them just to support the developers.”
“There are lots of new artwork every day.”
“It has re-inspired my desire to continue my artwork.”
“I just wish they had more 'special' artwork featuring a variety of animals, marine life, and mandalas instead of focusing on people all the time.”

“Great app, love all the great pictures and colors ❤️. However, today (9/10/23), I have been experiencing glitches in the game. For instance, today's calendar picture has one of the numbers that isn't colored, and even using the hint option, it won't tell me where it is. It just won't work.”
“The game crashes frequently, making it impossible to enjoy the experience. I've lost progress multiple times due to these stability issues.”
“I keep encountering random freezes and lag during gameplay. It's frustrating because it disrupts the flow and makes it hard to focus on the game.”
