Not easy to color
by Je*****, 2025-06-16

I wouldn't mind paying for the packs, but it seems kind of ridiculous in this day and age not to have landscape orientation support. Useless right now to us, as my young daughter uses her iPad only in landscape mode (that's the only way the stand in her case works). Seems a really significant oversight in an app like this :(

How nice and easy to use this is! What a clever App. You will be happy with this; My family and I are enjoying this App especially yesterday and today on Christmas. I liked the treefrog picture the most. They are all very nice pictures.
