  • I reviewed EVERY Adult Coloring App I could find for the iPad on the App Store, and subscribed to every trial and subscription available, with the goal to find the BEST Digital Coloring App for Adults…
    And I did!
    I ended up with 100 digital coloring apps, all claiming to be made for “adults” (some were definitely not), and many charging ridiculous subscription prices for the features they offered. I was even scammed by a few apps, and caught out some copycats!
    But after hours of filtering through not so great apps, I also found some amazing coloring apps with great features, and spent about an hour in each, seeing just how far I could take their tools to create digital art.
    BLOG POST: sarahrenaeclar...
    The 12 ‘finalist’ apps were Pigment, Recolor, Chroma, Marvel Color Your Own, Colorfly, Colorfy, Lake: Coloring Books & Journal, Adult Coloring Book Color Page, Tayasui Color, Calmeleon, InColor and Color Pop.

    Thank you for uncovering the copying of color palettes! I’m the Product Manager of Pigment and we create and name all of our palettes, so they’re all completely original. That’s so unfortunate that other companies are copying our palettes because it takes a lot of work for our artists to curate them!

    • @SarahRenaeClark

      I didn’t want to make any assumptions as to who was the original creator, but it felt pretty obvious to me after seeing the quality of the offending apps compared to the quality of Pigment. It seems someone is offering a “template” app (maybe as a Fiverr service?) that was used to build at least 20 of the apps I reviewed, using those stolen palettes.

    I didn't try as many apps as you did, but I tried quite a few when I first got my iPad. Most of them didn't allow for much creativity or individuality when it came to coloring. I ended up settling on Pigment. With the yearly subscription, it's relatively inexpensive and there are so many coloring pages to choose from. I found it to be the most versatile, allowing me to be as creative as I want to be. I love coloring the grayscale images, as well, which I haven't even tried in an actual coloring book yet. I love the different brushes and the fact that Pigment has a CZcams channel with lots of tutorials for digital coloring that has allowed me to learn some really cool techniques.

    I like Happy Color (the second app you found) because it's so under-stimulating. I used to create my own art with pen, and then color it with colored pencils. The results were beautiful and it was fun to express myself and play with colors to make it just the way I wanted it, but it usually took weeks of work (and tons of hand cramps) to create a single piece, not to mention how long it would take for me to finally draw something that I was inspired to take into inking stage. It was mentally and physically draining, beautiful as it was.
    With Happy Color, it requires so little thought and exertion that it's kind of cathartic, and lets me relax my brain - total opposite of creating an advanced drawing by hand. The only real complaint I have towards Happy Color is that they reuse shapes kind of often. For instance, you can be coloring a tropical scene and there are the same flowers repeated 50 times on the screen, sometimes not even oriented differently or flipped. I tend to like stuff with animals in it, and there's this one tiger that they have reused in different coloring pages at least six times. It's awfully distracting but I understand why they copy/paste. There's a lot of crap on that app, but also a lot of genuinely nice art. If you're just looking for something relaxing to do and don't feel like thinking too hard, give it a try! It's definitely not for everyone, but it's good if you just wanna tap your screen and make colors happen.

    • @catbriggs8362
      @catbriggs8362 Před rokem

      I like Happy Color, too, but the picture selection isn't great. Quantity? Yes. Quality? Not so much. As for color, too many have garish, super-saturated colors. Happy Color went through a phase where warm colors were featured, but cool colors were banned to the basement. I'm happy to say, the mix of colors now is better distributed across the spectrum. If you like pastels, this isn't the place for you. Overall, though, I believe it's one of the best color-by-number options. Yes, they have to make money, but the incredible number of ads are annoying. They've really piled on the ads over the last year--to the point it detracts from the Happy.

Happy Color picture quality seems to have gone downhill a bit lately (I liked the more complex drawings, especially the Art category). I think a couple of their best artists whose drawings I loved have either quit or been fired. And then sometimes they’ll have a drawing I like but the color palette they chose for it isn’t to my taste. But you get what you pay for and it’s nice to have a relaxing free app. I don’t mind a few ads as long as they allow you to quickly close it, if it’s not to your interest. There are some that are really irritating.

    Happy color is and has been my favorite app for over a year. It's not my favorite because I play it the most, it's my favorite because one drawing can keep me entertained for 5-15 minutes, most take about 10, and it helps me relax. When I'm waiting for someone to pick me up, I usually play happy color as I can just stop playing when it's time to go and continue later. On my old phone, I could only have a few apps and I decided that apps like Messenger was more important than games so in the end I could only have one game and I chose happy color because of the reasons I already wrote.

      Yeah I like happy colour as well but it doesn’t let you use it in landscape mode so you can’t really use it comfortably while charging, one of my favourite ones is just called paint by number it lets you also use it in landscape mode, has multiple categories of art work to colour and is totally free

    Love your accent and especially your personality. Thanks for uploading this. and saving others a lot of time and frustration. New to this tablet stuff, and noticed most of the coloring apps were games. If I wanted to play a game, I'd download a game. What I want is to color for relaxation and creativity. Thanks so much for taking the time to do this video. Appreciate it immensely.

    Sarah, I enjoy your posts and products immensely! I can’t believe I missed this one! I laughed so hard when you mentioned Pigment using hex codes, especially since I just started spending time with Pigment! What sold me into going Premium was that feature and guess what is sitting next to me, My Color Cubes I purchased through you!! Also, if I need a color scheme quick I just bring up the color catalogs on my other screen! Yep, I am your Color Cube poster child. Thank you for all you do!! ~Melody

    I’m new to your channel and loved how you reviewed each app. I use Color Therapy app because they have coloring contests, unique colors, gradients, you can blend, mix and relax and be social with others on the app if you want to. The app is FREE, however to unlock their robust features and get rid of ads, I pay 56.00 USD per year( this my first year paying😀) They also have a monthly option of 7 or 9 bucks per month, but the Free version is great too!

    i've been loving coloring recently (i think mainly because of the artist tries kids coloring book challenge) but i don't have a lot of supplies or a printer to get traditional coloring pages, so digital is the way to go for me. A lot of times i will take black and white comic book pages and color them in ibis paint, but they don't give me as much freedom since they are of pre existing characters with pre set color pallets. i still like playing around with lighting and backgrounds and even giving them different outfits.

    since android doesnt have the Pigment app, what i like to do is go to google and search for some colouring pages whether their simple or not, and then open up Ibispaint, (ibispaint is a very good freemuim drawing app with 100+ brushes, tools, and so much more, for android and ios artists)
    then in ibispaint, import the colouring page, and proceed to use the ibispaint app itself as a colouring app :)

It is, as the name implies, more of a gamefied version, with a level system and a home decorating plot. For someone who is just looking to find numbers and click them, it’s got a ton of free pages available to color, and is constantly running events with even more pages being added
