Color Up is a fantastic entry in the color-by-number genre. What sets it apart is the sheer variety and quality of the artwork. Many of these apps feel generic, but the illustrations here are vibrant and genuinely artistic. The 'tap-to-fill' mechanic is incredibly smooth, and the haptic feedback adds a satisfying 'pop' to every completed section.

It’s a very low-friction experience. If you’re looking for something to do while listening to a podcast or sitting on the train, this is perfect. It doesn't require intense focus, but the end result—a beautiful, colored image—provides a nice sense of accomplishment. The categorization of images makes it easy to find exactly what you’re in the mood for, from complex mandalas to simple cute animals.

Dinsun Review

I refuse to call this a game. There is no challenge, no failure state, and no creativity. You are essentially a human cursor, clicking on regions to apply a pre-selected color. Where is the skill? Where is the risk? Recent updates have even made the colors look flatter and less vibrant than before, which was supposedly the only selling point.

At 40, I’ve seen some lazy software design, but this takes the cake. It’s designed to keep you tapping so you can be shown an ad every three minutes. It’s a Skinner box for people who want to feel like they’re being 'artistic' without actually picking up a brush. If you find peace in clicking '4' then '5' then '6' for an hour, you might enjoy this. Personally, I'd rather watch paint dry in real life—at least the lighting is better.
