Community Insight:
This is exactly what we were looking for in an app that is color by number! Its simple but so fun and relaxing. Love that theres no ads. We found ourselves doing this for hours.
Well,it keeps getting better. New pictures are great. Its very unstable when you scroll. Fix it and might buy you coffee. It is still unstable. It keeps jumping around.please fix.
Why not combine the drag image feature and the draw continuously feature so that you can have both at the same time, while still keeping each separately as well. This would allow players any of the three choices that they prefer.
