Hoping for Change
I have had this app, full version, for a few years. It is definitely the best coloring app. The import quality is the best of all the others, the crayons-once figured out- are great!
What is disheartening is the social aspects. When I first started comments were NOT a part of the app, I often wished I could just tell a recolorist just how much I did like their work! Then it was added. But now children, and I’m sure some adults, have abused that privilege.
Kids, 9-teens, are bullying each other, and anyone that doesn’t give them a “like” or “follow” them. There is way too much suicide conversation. Some say it’s for ‘awareness’, and I’m sure some don’t understand the difference in promoting it vs awareness of it. There have been details on how and where to cut yourself. One girl wrote a message, imported, claiming to be the mother of the recolorist and that her daughter had committed suicide. Now many saw it for what it was, but some believed it. Then the girl gets on later and basically days “psych!” And goes on like it was nothing
There are many people on the app using it to deal with stress, medical limitations, and grief.
One girl commented it was the only thing her parents would let her use because she wasn’t old enough to use social media apps
There is NOT enough monitoring by the company and certainly not by the parents.
This app should have two separate ones, a kid friendly COLORING app-no comments, and an adult COLORING app-with comments.
