Community Insight:
Our mom getted this for us and we plays it and we like drawing we love crayon.
This is so wild! Crayola Crayons is everything a parent imagines with todays technology. We mean, who DIDNT want anything else but to color with Crayons when we had free time? Its still true today! Thank you with love.
Great game Theres a glitch where we cant add color to our plant and cant continue with the activity. Pls fix :).
So even for adults this game is awesome our whole house plays. The issue we all have is that there no real support for the apple pencil. Yes the pen works but theres no palm rejection so you mess up alot which makes us want to delete it same goes for the rest of our kids. Anotherpet peeve is theres also no back button like every other art game for when you make a mistake to clear it. If this issue would be addressed im sure more people would be interested and the game would be worth it. A page to add your own coloring images to color would be amazing.
It keeps saying we have to connect to wifi for updates to download, but we are connected to wifi. So the app just doesnt open. Ive tried closing and reopening, but it still doesnt work. Dont waste your time.
Cant pay. Says we have no WiFi. Its the only app on our iPad doing it.
This app keep closing when zooming in.
We LOVE CREATE AND PLAY SO MUCH!! Oh and arcade you good but im disappointed in you because yall need to add fluvsies.
We, Honestly, we thought we would NEVER Succumb to this Apple Arcade Game MADE FOR 2 YEAR OLDS, Yet The Dino Maker Lured us in. Suggestion: You Should Definitely Add Underwater and Forest Kingdom areas, With the Underwater one Inhabiting Mermaids and Mermen, But with the Forest one Inhabiting Centaurs and Centaurettes, along with Fairies. We are, of course, a Fan of Mythical Creatures, Especially all the Humanoid Ones. Also, idk How to Unlock the Beach Area Drawings. Would Be Great if you send Feedback.
This is a great game, we just have one suggestion can you maybe add a Rube Goldberg contraption activity. (we are a teen playing a game made for 2 year olds ).
The one word we can think to describe it is yuck! But now that we see you can make a dinosaur its awesome.
The only reason we have this stupid game is because our sisters like it if you want to draw draw on a freaking piece of paper not on a 4.something mb app.
Love this game for our 3 year old especially the little pet monster thingy she is obsessed with it and will stay on this app for a good amount of time we were wondering where can we find like stuffed plush or like a shirt with that character? We would gladly appreciate it thank you for this game.
Us and all our siblings love it. Probably one of our most played games.
This game is amazing, but on the normal one you can send your pets to islands. Can you please put that in this one too? Other than that, it is great and we would totally recommend anyone that likes art and pets to download the game. Thank you for reading.
Crayola create and play is an amazing game but when you color a picture sometimes you cant color the things under the crayon box or under the checkmark. And when we color the screen just turns gray and crashes. Also you might want to update your crayola create and play videos on the app. But other than that its a very fun game.
There needs to be better customization on this app . The palm rejection isnt all that good , so when Im drawing or coloring , we can see streak marks on the rest of the page – thats annoying . There should be broader settings that allow more personalization for the user at the time , or different profiles that can be added . Overall , we like this app a lot so far – cant wait for the future.
We thought that the whole point of Apple Arcade was that you paid monthly to avoid advertisements and micro-transactions, but we guess thats changing. We allow our son to play in the Crayola app because its fun and creative for him. But recently Ive been noticing that there is an offer for $3.99 monthly subscription. We find it problematic because this app is targeted towards kids. We Initially let our son play in this app with guided access on because we wasnt fearful of him making these types of purchases. But now we guess we need to find something else. Very disappointed with this choice of action.
Its been glitchy in the past, but this newest update is just a proper hive of bugs. Freezes up constantly, makes loud screeching sounds, gets hung up on loading, etc. Considering that this is a game for kids, its really disheartening to try to describe to our kid why this isnt working, or what that scary noise was, and having to reset guided access each time we have to come in to troubleshoot it.
This game is AWESOME and Ive had it for 3 years! Our only suggestion is that when you update it, you have 2 versions of the game. Pls change this thank you.
Get this app its amazing for a little ones to 2 to10+.
We love this game so much it helps us calm down and relax and it's good for boredom but sometimes when we color or draw it sometimes doesn't give ALL the color choices except for the skin tones and red orange yellow green blue purple and pink and that's it we love the game can you please fix this problem thank you. Stay colorful.
We love you! (By the way we are talking to the game).
We got this game to play with our 7 year old granddaughter and we enjoyed its so much we are playing it now after she has left. This is one of the best games we have ever seen. It is very intuitive and there is so very much to do. We are going to install it on our 96-year-old mothers iPad as we know she will absolutely love it and it will keep her busy. Hats off to the developers of this wonderful and robust game. Thank you for a job well done.
App opens but never gets into the different things to play in. It just shows the Crayola Logo.
Im going back to the game now and its been a wild ride inCrayola create and play.
Every time we try to color a page, zooming in and out to reach the edges seems to crash the whole app, then we lose all our work. It is SO FRUSTRATING.
Im not sure if it is a new update or what, but we cannot open the app regardless how many times we reconnect to the internet. Ive redownloaded it but no changes. All we get when we open the game is the message : sorry something went wrong while downloading updates. Reconnect to WiFi and restart the game. No matter how many times we restart or rejoin the WiFi it will not open. HELP.
There so colorful and sweet mabe add more mods on there we love it you can feed them wash them and dress them.
So much little stuff to distract & poke! The narrative npc is less naggy! There's new crafts to find & build! The areas are so neat! Can change colors of certain things & even mix the burning wood colors to make other colors like red & blue make purple if only there was a white log ! Some annoyances the pets don't interact with much, not the balls, table chairs, would be neat there was a sun you could tap to turn on a night time mode ! Still all the learning games from spelling to coding are way to easy & don't have a harder mode which was disappointing to see. Otherwise this is superb.
THERE IS ONLY ONE MISTAKE, SOMETIMES THE CRAYONS GET STUCK AND THE GREEN CRAYON HUMPS THE OTHEE CRAYONS AND ITS SO SCARY we DOMT LIKE IT. OTHER THEN THAT ITS VERY FUN AND we LEARN MY ABC.
This game has become part of our sons morning routine. We play and draw together as a way to get some 1:1 time. The new update has been amazing, but there are some parts that are just confusing. Like our kid is obsessed with stickers, so we constantly goes to the sticker book, but we havent found any stickers yet, so its just frustrating for him. Same with some of the interactive elements of the buildings and world: theyre not super intuitive and theres no way to find out how were supposed to use them. More guidance would be helpful so we dont have a frustrated toddler that we cant help.
New update broke the game, Im glad they added all of these new games and activities but now its constantly freezing and soft locking. Now Im constantly hearing oh no! Broken ): from our little guy. It was his favorite game.. Kind of a bummer.
This game is so fun, we really love the other games too Adventures and crayola scrubbie. We love your products too like the suit case with the 118 items and the 8 retired crayons. Plus we like the funny pets and we get to name them from the collars too. Also about the products, we like the pets you get to color and then wash. The game is so fun, make more fun products like this.
Our kid loves this game. You learn how to draw you have fun play games you draw a pixel art and all he does is just sit there and play this game. Its really good. Try it.
In rainbow rush when your about to stop thank you for The add of the color and everything just again thank you Crayola for everything.
Sooooooookko its a really good game and theres not much ads so thats good and its nice that we can be creative and have a fun time but if friends could play online that would be awesome!!!! Also Im not complaining though because its a lot of fun to play and pluse we can just play it together on the same phone so Its fine and Im leaving five stars thanks for making this.
It is a Very Fun game You Can Color And you can Watch How Crayons is made.
Sometimes we simple love this game because sometimes Crayola fans who enjoy being but way too goofy included lots of activities and mini games we rather play AJ PLAY WILD.
Theres so much creativity things that you can do it and its like so good youre able to color pictures go into space do pizza orders that your pets order even do games for Halloween glow art and theres like all of this stuff you can do we cant even say all of it, but youll see all of it once you do the game Its better than you seen an ad. Woo hoo bye.
Literally our kid loves this game its so fun for her.
Also we are 9 and we love it we have a question will you add Bluey.
We LOVE THIS GAME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1+1=2.
We Really Like This Crayola Create And Play Coloring Fun Art And Games And Also we Wonder If They Could Put Zag Heroes Miraculous Ladybug & Cat Noir Characters In This Game Because It Would Be Nice To Have Zag Heroes Miraculous Superheros Characters.
1 thing though , you should add it so you can draw with your molds and not make them just collectibles.
We loved this game it was so fun the only issue was that everything should be free.
It needs more for bigger kids like for 10 to 16 this needs more.
We love the way this fun for kids.
In her iPad time she always says is it time for us to play Crayola create we say yes because its a world of learning theres so much education and fun. She loves making her own pets playing with them learning coloring. Its one of the best games to meet for her.
