Zen Studio 4+

Great concept, misses the mark. Fixable with some easy tweaks

UPDATE: They added white so I put another star on! Thanks, Zen!

Got this to help my kids color and relax. On the plus side, the sounds are fun and relaxing, and it’s cool how the color-able area expands as you go, and how the interface “celebrates” your completion. They like the app, and I would be willing to buy the full version, except:

1) There are very limited color options. Please add more.
2) You have to color in every cell to “complete” a picture. Allow users to advance the picture with a Next/Back button so we have full control over progress and layout.
3) The picture darkens as you near the end of a coloring section, and brightens back up when you finish. This is the biggest problem with the app. In a coloring app, you CHANGE THE COLOR? This completely kills the relaxing experience. Developer must find a way to help users focus without changing the colors... Outline or embolden the “active” cells perhaps. The celebration moment can still occur somehow with the burst of stars, but you CAN’T change the colors on us!

Réponse du développeur ,

Thank you very much for your feedback, we will take your ideas into consideration for our next update.

Wow

I like this game but why do we need to pay really when I draw in the app the next day I can’t color or draw because my pics always get lock and I always have to pay and we need more pics and we can’t ERASE

Perfect Simplified Coloring

I love the approach of this app. The simple geometric shapes allow kids to be creative without overwhelming them with a bunch of options. My kids have spent hours drawing picture with it. The whole experience is meditative as the developers put it.

I will also shout out the lack of the sort of subscriptions or manipulative micro-transactions you see in many kids app. For $3 you unlock the full app. The price is more than fair and easily worth it.
