## Description

Color Lab – Recolor Your Photos lets you recolor and paint on photos with ease. Recolor with 66 vivid colors, adjust brush size, intensity, and translucence, and zoom with two fingers. Snap a photo or choose from your library, then undo with a tap and share your edits to social networks.

Turn ordinary images into art with color splash, grayscale effects, or selective coloring to highlight subjects. The app is designed for quick, playful edits that feel like painting on a canvas, with simple brush controls and fast sharing options across Facebook, Twitter, and more.

## Review summary

Reviews are mixed: some users praise the app for ease of use and solid results when purchased, and prefer a one-time payment. However, many report pricing pressure, misleading advertising about free features, and recolor limitations (often only Black & White or not functioning as expected). Users also complain about intrusive ads and guidance gaps, plus occasional purchase/restoration glitches. Overall, it’s valued by some longtime users but considered problematic for those seeking a free, straightforward recolor tool.

### Pros

- Easy to use with an intuitive interface.
- Produces good editing results when the paid features work.
- Long-standing app with some users who have used it for years.
- Some users prefer a one-time purchase instead of a subscription.

### Cons

- Pricing and subscription model is opaque and many feel the app is not free, with multiple price jumps.
- Recoloring capabilities do not meet expectations; features are limited or not as advertised (often just black-and-white or require painting).
- Heavy, disruptive ads interrupt the experience and there are loading/purchasing glitches.
- Lack of tutorials or clear guidance leads to confusion about capabilities.
- Some purchases/restores fail or require repurchasing; restoration issues are reported.
