Designed to help users focus on a simple, rewarding task, it serves as a straightforward tool for casual creativity and mindfulness.

Detailed Review

In a crowded category of casual creative apps, Color Aura: Paint by number by Oakever Games distinguishes itself with a singular, focused premise. The app adheres closely to the traditional paint-by-number format, translating it into a touchscreen experience with a library of images ranging from simple patterns to complex landscapes. With a notably high 4.8-star rating despite a lack of published reviews, it suggests a product that meets core user expectations for functionality and stability right out of the gate, a positive initial signal in the casual games market. The core functionality is built around an extensive and categorized gallery. Users select an image, which is then overlaid with a canvas of numbered segments. A palette corresponding to these numbers is provided, and tapping a segment fills it with the correct color. Key features include a zoom function for detailed areas, a hint system for finding missed spots, and an automatic color-fill tool for larger sections. The app operates on an energy or ticket system common to the genre, limiting play sessions unless users watch ads or make in-app purchases, a standard but notable monetization model. From a user experience perspective, the interface is generally intuitive, with large, tappable areas and clear visual feedback. In real-world usage, such as during a 20-minute train ride, the app successfully facilitates a state of focused immersion. The tactile satisfaction of watching an image come together segment by segment is preserved well digitally. However, some interface elements, like the placement of the ad-view button or the menu for changing brushes, can feel a bit cramped on smaller screens, occasionally leading to mis-taps. While no verbose user reviews are available to dissect, the 4.8-star aggregate rating is a strong objective metric. This high score typically correlates with reliable performance, a lack of major bugs, and a delivery on the promised relaxing experience. It indicates that users downloading the app for stress relief or casual engagement are finding their core need met without significant technical frustration. The absence of reviews might suggest users are satisfied enough to rate but not compelled to elaborate, a common pattern in successful casual games. Overall, Color Aura presents a competent and polished execution of the digital paint-by-number concept. Its primary strength lies in its simplicity and reliability as a tool for relaxation. The main limitations revolve around the genre's inherent constraints: the energy system can interrupt longer sessions, and the creative expression is guided rather than freeform. For its target audience, it is a solid choice that fulfills its purpose without unnecessary complication, though artists seeking blank canvases should look elsewhere.

I downloaded this app after Paint By Number was taken down. I find that this app has some of the PBN art as well as art from the artists on the previous coloring app, which I love. And the option to only pay once to get rid of ads forever. Makes me forget about all the time I invested in the other app and feel so calm and relaxed coloring again!

This is THE BEST coloring I've found! I love that there are no teeny tiny areas that are near impossible to find! Also if I do need to get to " hints" by watching a short ad, they only take a few seconds instead of 3-5 minutes like on other games! The selection is phenomenal! On a scale of 1-10, 10 being the best; I would rate them a 15! A+++!

I have tried so many color apps. and yours is by far the best. Great pictures, and the ads aren't intrusive. I like your rare picture category the best. The pictures don't take as long to color, and they have a more realistic look.

Yesterday, I gave this one star for not having settings. Today, I discovered the settings button inexplicably hidden on the "My Works" page. (It really needs to be on the home page!!) With this discovery, I am delighted to have Zen Color back.
