Community Insight:
We love this game so much. It is definitely one of our favorite games we have ever played. We recommend this game for all ages. It has no adds, and as we know of, premium system, which is surprising because every other game Ive played has a premium option. It also starts you out with a lot of money, which you can use to buy almost any pattern you want. Its also not just pixels. It has cross stitch, circles, diamonds, stars, and gemstones, and its very cheap to create a pattern yourself. Insanely recommend.
This game has no adds and you dont have to buy anything its so fun.
This app has been a refreshing change from most others like it as there is no subscription based ad free or subscription only options like a lot of these apps have. The main problem we had with it was that the UI doesnt fill the entire screen on an iPhone that has a notch or Dynamic Island. The screenshots show the app doing so but the app does not fill the screen this way an instead defaults to a legacy mode that leaves the top and bottom areas of the screen empty to simulate what it would look like on a pre iPhone X.
This game is amazing it is so fun.
Lots of packages, many topics, good for all ages, good for relaxing, purchases are within the app so that means you get the coins its a fully free app! The best thing is your zoom feature is so large you can find#s easily. We found only one flaw if you get a package like mystery or from a series put the names of your packages with the numbers (like fun mix 3). It makes looking up the designs up easier when youre shopping for new designs. Like a shelf or inventory written somewhere in your menu. Lately, the glitches, crashes & even loading in progress freezes. Sometimes 3-5 times to stabilize & load. (March 2025) Ads are freezing up loading the app after getting coins or while working on the picture then crashing in particular vita mahjong. (June 2025). Heres another glitch. Reward granted isnt showing up so you can go back to doing artwork. That crashed even the next day didnt refresh. A different ad froze the play. Thats 1 session out of 3 crashed in the beginning.
We absolutely love this game. This is the only mobile game we can grind on for hours without getting bored. Ive enjoyed this game for years now. Theres no ads and no flaws that Ive found in our years of playing it. When you pay for coins (the currency of the game), you can tell you get your moneys worth. You dont feel like it was a bad deal or a scam. The only downside Ive found is that our phone gets hot when we play it for too long hahaha!! Its also very addicting. We love having a YouTube video playing in the background while Im pixel tapping. But no seriously, if you want to get into a game that doesnt require thinking, this game is the one for you. Genuinely a 10/10.
Really great game to pass the time. Plus, its free! Would definitely recommend.
We love this app and use it a lot, we just wanna suggest adding folders or a favorites to completed works. We love that every few days you can get a free picture but some of them arent the most appealing, so instead of a full gallery we think it would be nice to have like a favorites folder to save the ones you really like to :3.
This app is fun and relaxing you can play it anywhere you want.
We love this game. Its almost perfect. Is there any way you could add events. Its pretty boring after a while.
Our app froze. We deleted it and downloaded it again. Can we get all our pictures back. Love this app. We lost everything.
It is so much fun and very calming. Our daughter loves to play it.
This is so goodits our favorite game! We only have this because we just got sick and tired of our other gamesIt just got to boring a few days ago we searched for coloring games and we found this one and we were like this looks good so we looked at the reviews and they were really good so checked it out for ourselves and they were right you should totally get this.
This app frequently crashes while playing it. We absolutely love it and wish it could get fixed. Ive downloaded it twice and it has always happened. It is even worse with our iPhone 16. Please update the app.
We love this app we dont love that half the time we cant get it to open. Also dont like that there are no new type art.
This is one of our favorite apps to pass time & we use it numerous times a day & have spent a decent amount of $$ on it as well. For the last 2 days, though, the app wont open. Every time we try to open the app it just stays on the loading page. Ive tried everything we can think of including shutting off our phone but it hasnt changed anything. PLEASE PLEASE FIX.
Love the pictures but app often glitches and can take several attempts to load/open. Today it will not open at all. Takes about a minute to load and when it does the app says Im off line when Im not. Im hoping the developers read this as there is not other way to reach out to them for technical support. Have been using this app for three years now.
Love the detail and variety but the app is frozen and now we cant access any of the purchases we made.
In general we like the app. Ive had issues for a while where it will randomly shut down and take 4-5 tries to start up again. Now in addition to the ads being about twice as long as they used to be, at least once a day after an ad plays the x or option to exit the ad simply never appears, even if we click the ad. Sometimes this persists even if we force quit and restart. This on top of random pop up video ads may make us stop using it.
Ive been using this app for awhile now, almost 5 years. It used to be really good till they started using AI for their pictures. Its just not good. We dont like AI art, and we wish theyd go back to either using real art or just pixelated images. Id rather draw a pixelated pile of dirt than ever do an AI one. We really hope you guys stop sometime soon. This app used to be something we loved.
Game is getting hung up on ads, we have to get out of the app and wait about 20 minutes before we can play again.
We love this coloring app but it causes our phone to overheat and drains the battery super fast.
First of, let us say this is the best art-relaxing game on the app store. You can play your fav tunes and its a anxiety killer. The only problem we have is how much the daily paintings give you. It is free, but please up the amount of coins. Its really annoying when you spend 1 hour on one and only get 10 coins, while others give you 70 coins. Either way, if you like art, and are a chill person, we recommend giving this game a try.
This is the best it helps when Im on a long trip to cider point.
We love this Game but we accidentally deleted it and it deleted all our progress thats why Im A little sad but we said we still Love this Game Thank you . Its over relaxing and fun and we love the game it makes us feel so happy and good. Hi can we just say that we love this game and we can play this game for a long Time and we loved The drawing And we dont know what coloring game is better than this.
Friend introduced us to pixel and it is so relaxing we love doing them.
So we were looking for a pixel art game to play that was free but still good quality. We were looking and after a bit and we found this one. We love the fact that you dont need a paid subscription to use a majority of the patterns. There are so many patterns that you can get using these coins and the game gives you a good amount for free in the beginning. To earn more you do more patterns which we really like since you dont need to pay real money to get more patterns. They even give you a daily amount of coins to use (you can also pay to get more if you want). You can also make patterns from your images which is a great feature that is free and you can update the quality of the pictures using your coins. We have not seen any adds which is really nice for free so if you are going to get a pixel art game consider downloading this one.
A good down time activity. Earning coins to get new pictures is rewarding. Having NO ADS is MOST REWARDING and aids in the relaxation. Love it.
Not only can we get sets of pix to pixelate, but we can also create pixelations from our personal pictures! Its great.
We really like this game because it is relaxing and reduces stress! Our little sister calls it the fish game because the front cover has a rainbow fish on it, p.s rainbow is our sisters favourite color.
This is a great game with NO ADS!! But they are a few bugs: 1. They give you very little coins after you finish a project 2. There is no way to get coins besides purchasing for them 3. You need coins to make your own project If youd please fix those 3 things we will had rate this five stars But besides that Best game.
Heya, we have a bit of an issue with this app. For some reason, it makes our phone heat up very fast. Is there a workaround for that? Alos, Id say this app is nice.
We just wanted to say we LOVE this. We just have one teensy problem with what we think is an update bc we never seen it before. Sometimes we get short ads, but removing ads is a lot to ask for considering this game is no subscription totally free unless you wanna but coins, so thank you so much! We hope the developer replys to us! Love this app! Download now.
Too many ads. Not going to pay for an app to remove ads.
It keeps glitching and going back to the Home Screen what can we do to fix it.
We spend hours coloring on this app when sitting idle for appointments, watching dogs, etc. It is a lifesaver and also helps with anxiety. The harder they are, the better. When we first started this app we were aggravated that we couldnt gain enough points for the more complicated puzzles, and we didnt want to pay for more coins. Ive worked our way up over time and sometimes we pay, but usually earn enough coins as we color. We only wish they had more life-like oil paintings. Popular oil paintings like the Mona Lisa etc. We prefer a variety of colors and some are an entire landscape in hues of blue and purple. Not very realistic, but to each their own we guess. Its also frustrating to switch to the next color, only to have it be exactly the same as a previous color. However, they do have many beautiful pictures and its very worthwhile to see the finished product. We have numerous coloring apps, but always come back to this one. Thanks guys for all of your hard work.
The add problem is miserable and it never used to be this way and we wish it werent. We did the whole add thing once before and now we had to again. We dont get it but otherwise its fun and a time killer while getting treatments.
Pixel Tap is so good because we spent months looking for a free one and pixel tap with the only one we found that was free you can even create your own pictures to Color and go to the pixel store and spend your reward coins on more images to paint and seasonal pictures pop up when its Halloween friendly black cats and pumpkins when its thanksgiving turkeys and Christmas and more this is the best game ever we highly recommend you get it and you can select easy hard or middle iLike easy.
We love it and we play it ALLLLL THE TIME one of our TOP favs.
Actually enjoyed this very much, until we finished a picture. They do not allow you to save your finished work as a picture on your device. This is sad s other than that the app is fantastic. Looks like Ill have to look for a different one.
After playing for 3 years Ive uninstalled after being forced to watch ads. Its a sad day because Ive done thousands of pictures and probably watched hundreds of ads voluntarily but we dont play games with pop up ads.
We like how you can use your own personal photos and create a picture to color and we also like how they have a option to make your pictures look like a diamond art on every single one.
We love to play before bed. However, sometimes it is to sensitive.
This is a really fun coloring game its stress free and really relaxing we love the different pictures that we can color.
Its a fun game, and when we were in a train, we were playing the game, and then a deer jumped on us. We didnt know if it was a coincidence or it if the deer thought that we were painting him. Bc we were painting a picture of a deer. OMG, a rabbit just jumped on us too. Halaluya.
This game is so much fun to play, Ive been coloring a lot of pictures in this game, we are a big fan of this game, Ive been coloring in our pixel art coloring book and we might get two more pixel art coloring book tomorrow.
We really enjoy doing the pictures. Its very rewarding when you finish them.
THERE ARE NO ADDS YOU HERD ME NO NO ADDS!! YOU CAN INGOY PEASFULLY WITHOUT ANY ENTROPSONS.
This app is so calm and fun. We color on it all the time. It is so awesome whoever created this app is a genius. We love this app so much if you are debating whether you should get it or not you definitely should. Its so calming relaxing and theres so many different patterns to choose from and you can even buy your own patterns with the coins that you earn for making art its so cool we love this app! 10/10.
We give this app 4 stars because sometimes its hard to make it move around and when we press the wrong color it vibrates our phone like really bad and it takes the battery off our phone really fast.
