Dinsun Expert Review

Our Expert Score

90/100

Zen Color is easily one of the most polished coloring apps on the market. It doesn't bombard you with complex UI or competitive pressure; it’s just pure, meditative coloring. The artwork is diverse and genuinely beautiful, ranging from intricate mandalas to peaceful landscapes. The 'tap-to-fill' mechanic is precise, and the zoom levels allow you to find even the tiniest numbered sections without frustration.

The daily 'Zen' stories are a lovely touch, giving you a sense of accomplishment beyond just finishing a picture. For anyone struggling with stress or just looking for a creative outlet that doesn't require actual paint, this app is a sanctuary. It’s one of the few apps where the 'Zen' in the name feels earned rather than just a marketing buzzword.

Perfect app!
Thu Jul 18 2024 RubyDuke

I absolutely LOVE Zen Color!! I’ve had it only a few months but have colored hundreds of pictures. There are multiple different kinds of pictures from various artists that give you plenty of engaging variety. Yes, it is addicting. I love that there is a timer but it only tells you how long it took to color the picture. I especially love the fact that it only counts the time your finger is on the screen and not the multiple minutes you’re staring at the picture trying to find a particular color. Another aspect of the app that I LOVE is the fact that I can hold my finger down on an uncolored space to highlight and fill it in. I like to color in the order I want to see it animate. It’s especially more enjoyable than going in number order. Developers please don’t change this!! My only suggestion to developers would be the ability to see the bonus badge counter - or whatever it is. When you receive a bonus, a little badge counter adds another number to the badge in the top right corner. The problem for me is, I want to click on it because it looks like it’ll “tell you” something. But it appears quickly and disappears. I’ve done everything I can think of to access it, even going into settings, but I'm unable and it’s frustrating. If you enjoy color by number, it is 100% worth paying for the unlocked version. There are no ads and there are unlimited hints. Unlimited hints are extremely useful in finding that last tiny spot that you eludes you.

Very relaxing and addictive, beautiful art
Wed Jul 16 2025 CSD review

I had never thought about doing color by Number because I do my own artwork and I would love to be able to choose my colors, but I haven’t ever found anything like that. Just for something to relax with this is wonderful. They have a problem and it’s not actually I think their problem, but it has something to do with a Zinga ad that keeps knocking you out of the app and taking you to your browser and running a virus scan saying that you’ve got all kinds of viruses which is a total scam. When I went to search for this issue on Google, I saw probably 30 or 40 other messages from people all saying this is happening to them from different apps and it was all over the place. I eventually paid for no ads because I love the app and I didn’t really like being interrupted by ads, but I also did it to get rid of the Zynga problem. Somebody needs to sit on them about that. Zynga is never been a company that I like they have been guilty of underhanded things before. However, this app is beautiful. I love the music. I wish I was a little more variety, but I love it and I love, just relaxing that I’ve got a very high stressful life and some days. I just sit and play with this because it just totally chills me out gets rid of all the things out of my mind That are bothering me. So thank you for that. I did pay for the no ads version and it it So worth spending the $$ for if you can afford it. Not only does it get rid of the ads totally, it also gives you unlimited “lightbulb” hints.

Exquisite Pictures
Thu Nov 06 2025 Cloniska

I love doing the “Special” category where lovely shading occurs within each cell shape. The results are honestly breathtaking. My mind focuses on the work and absolutely nothing else, and sometimes I’ll work on them for hours at a time, one after another—the most glorious vacation imaginable, pure relaxation. It’s kind of magical, really. I wish they would provide more variety in the music, though, because listening to the same tune repeatedly for hours is hard to manage gracefully. Still, if the repetition becomes too annoying, I simply turn off the sound and keep working. I think this whole thing is addicting! When not in the Special Category, the pictures of interiors and Victorian houses’ exteriors tend to have garish colors—turquoise walls with pink, orange, purple, and blue furniture inside and all those colors together on the outside. Who could live that way? I’ve stopped working on those types of pictures because they look so silly when I’m through. The same two songs are driving me crazy. There’s a third one that’s very lovely, but it only plays—possibly—once in ten pictures. A year later: pictures in the Special category now only take about 10 minutes to complete. Big blocks fill in all at once rather that, for example, a petal at a time. What’s the fun of that? There’s no challenge left if you do all the work for me! Another year later, these pictures are spectacularly beautiful and make the most amazing greeting cards. People absolutely rave about them; I’m even getting somewhat of a reputation.

Creativity

I love how every time I finish it’s not anything like when it began. That’s what keeps my interest. I have been in the hospital for several weeks and this is what kept me occupied. Keep up the good work! Love your creativity. I continue to enjoy this very much. Actually it’s quite addictive. That’s OK because I am retired and I don’t have a set schedule so I can enjoy it whenever I want. Have you done an intricate Stainglass window image? I would really love to see one like in a church window or something. I love your specials and artist choices and your mystery images. Keep it coming. I especially love the “BOINK” to let us know when we’ve used up that color. Now, if you could just give us some new music for those of us that practically live on this, I have to turn the music off because I get so bored with it. I miss the “BOINK”. Needless to say, I spend hours doing your coloring images. It’s amazing how the colors early bring it to life. I like the way you keep adding things. I’m always amazed when I finish the coloring of a new picture because it turns out so beautifully. LOVE the new “animated” Wimages. Amazing how you can always come up with something new and interesting, to keep it fresh and fun. And it’s amazing how the colors bring the images to life! I love the way you’re always trying new things. Fantastic intricate colors! broke my arm and so this keeps me busy. Thank you. Still loving the coloring! Still my best stress releaser.

The Best! and I Can Prove It!!!
Fri May 02 2025 whitefishsc

It took me a bit to think out why I love this paint by number so much. At first glance it seems like all the rest. But it is a lot different. First the art work. Some paint-by-number apps are like “oil paintings” while others look just like a color book with black outlines around the colored areas. Zen Color is a nice hybrid. The results are more like watercolors with some thin black outlines. Next thing is that you can keep your finger on the color page without having to go back and forth to the “paint pot”. To change colors just tap and hold for a second wherever you want to color next. This is nice! Another That is really great is that you aren’t moving all over the page tracking down colors. The colors to paint a section are grouped together. Again this means I spend more time doing what I love—painting! Not hunting all over the page or through the colors. The selection of artwork is beautiful. Zen Color also includes a lot if the “special color pages” where there are glitters and special shading to make very pretty pictures. And my favorite part of the app? It is fast!!! Apple keeps pushing their favorite paint by number app which is so slow that I could pick a page to color, then go eat breakfast before the page is ready to color. Really drives me crazy. All in all I really love zen color. Give it a try. I bet you will become hooked on Zen Color too! Oops, almost forgot to mention that there are many kinds of achievements to get - badges and extra color pages!!! Just a bunch of fun!

Nice pretty art
Sat Feb 07 2026 Saysalltaken

As an artist I didn’t figure I’d appreciate anything where all you do is tap to get a section colored in I would like to be able to pick my own colors for sections but I have to admit I am enjoying this color program. It’s fun to see what the artist used. I’m not a fan of people in pictures so I don’t color those. The options daily are good there are geometric which I color first, there’s landscape, seasonal, animals, wildlife. The only drawback now that I’ve colored about 100 are the ad placements this is very limited on ads thank goodness but there is an ad before the sketch is populated then 1 after you’re done since I color several in a row I get 2 ads one upon completion then another when I click to color another so that makes them back to back but even most of the ads are fun and offer distraction cause they let you play within the ad before they force you out of the ad I don’t like the ads that don’t allow you to play a little bit, I’ve added apps because I was able to play a bit and read reviews. So in the end I love this program and look forward to it every day now. I would highly recommend it. Update: I’ve now colored almost 6,000 pictures and I am finding that the app is repeating pics sometimes the background changes a little like seasonal changes from summer to snow but it’s the same picture most times it’s just a repeat. Plus as you reach higher numbers of pictures colored there are more pics that load at midnight it’s hard to stay up to date. I still color every day a lot but wanted to update that I still enjoy it but it’s hard to sift out pictures I’ve already colored.

5 Stars but Not Perfect
Fri Nov 21 2025 Hosun2

I’ve completed over 8000 pictures so I guess I like this app - a lot. This app provides pictures for users to color, we do that by selecting sections to color then tapping it to change from white to the intended color. When you color the last uncolored element that picture is completed and presents you a few options to share, save, or proceed. If you fail to color every element the picture remains incomplete, the app remembers where you stopped coloring so you can come back and work on that picture at your convenience. If you’re like me you want to complete every picture you work on, leaving them unfinished rankles. The app knows this and uses this behavior to get us to view more adverts. It ‘hides’ teenie-weenie elements that make it very hide to find and color every element so if you want to complete the picture you need to search endlessly or use a hint - you ‘buy’ hints by viewing adverts. So, you view an advert every time you open a picture and another advert when you buy a hint. It irks me but I understand the incentive to get us to use hints. This app is good at what it does, has few, if any bugs, and is entertaining, if I have to view adverts to use it (because I’m too cheap to pay the in-app fee of $9.99 to eliminate ads) then so be it. No cost to try it, you’ll know fairly quickly if this is for you or not. I think it’s the best paint-by-number app I have found thus far. The app producers make subtle changes to the app fairly often and add new pictures every night so you get new pictures to work on every day. Give it a try - it’s very good at what it does.

Really nice and relaxing
Tue May 28 2024 05yan

I’m disappointed that I’ve sent a 5 star review about 2 pictures I have in the “my works” that are still not finished. I updated the app and it gave me a color that I’m missing, but when I use the button to get to it it won’t show where it is missing on either one of the two still in question. This has bothered me for quite some time and would like to see it fixed. Is there no one that will at least look into this problem? Please help. This is still my favorite coloring app but I have given up on the Mystery pictures. I just don’t like them even when I’ve finished coloring. I really do like the ones that look like watercolors. The are very pretty when done and sometimes it would be nice to see them framed. I’m adding to this review and the only thing I will comment on is the use of very light colors for some of the pictures. I’m a senior who wears glasses and it is extremely difficult to see what still needs to be colored. I spent the money to get the option of finding any color I missed because it was or seemed to be impossible to find the spot on my own. I also have 2 pictures in “my works” that are finished but it says I have 1 color not used but everything is filled in. Not sure what to do about that. Wasn’t sure about this app but have been pleasantly surprised how much I enjoy it. My favorites are the zen, special color, vibrant, and the Mandalas. The music is very relaxing also. Add more of the zen, I love anything oriental, geometric, and finding the butterflies are quite nice too.
