Review summary

Long-time users praise Color Up for its calming, engaging color-by-number experience and previously vivid, lifelike 3D artwork. Recent updates are blamed for flattening art, reducing the daily supply of rich images, and complicating color placement. Pros include relaxation and nostalgia; cons center on diminished art quality and subscription issues. Many are considering canceling or switching unless the original vibrant style is restored.

Pros

Calming and relaxing experience that helps focus
Historically vivid, lifelike artwork with depth (3D shading) prior to updates
Widely regarded as a favorite coloring app with positive sentiment and nostalgia
Engaging color-by-number gameplay and overall enjoyment

Cons

Update changed art style to flat, dull colors with black outlines, reducing depth and realism
Fewer vivid/realistic pictures available daily; only a couple per day
Colors are harder to locate on the page, reducing relaxation and increasing stress
Subscription/account issues, with reports of unrecognized subscriptions and poor support
Potential churn as users threaten to delete or switch apps if the original style isn’t restored

2026-07-22	Ca*****	I absolutely love this app! I have lots of coloring apps, however, this one by far is one of my top four favorites. Good: they have pages that are about everything that is special and important to me. This is definitely my go to coloring app. They have pages that resonate with me. So much, in fact, I have 212 apps in my progress to do. And I’m not done with reviewing everything yet. Huge kudos to the developers for creating this app. As I went through each of the pages, I kept thinking OK this is my favorite, however, I would go onto the next one and say the same thing. I also appreciate their counting down the number of colors. This is very important to me. I’m able to find the color because of this ability and move onto the next color. Huge benefit! The only suggestion is to have more quotes that are uplifting. Plus, I love hearts and stars, so I would love a page with both of them. If I could give this app more than five stars, I would easily give it 100 stars. Bad: Nothing! Ugly: Huge gigantic NO! I stayed up late last night to go through them, and, got up early this morning to do even more. My gratitude to the developers for all they have done for this app. You have a huge fan in me.

2026-07-10	no*****	The pictures used to be so pretty and vibrant and like 3D. But now we only get two of those a day and everything else is just flat and boring. What happened??
