Coloring Book: Color by Number

Coloring Book: Color by Number is a coloring app that pairs numbered picture areas with matching paints. Users can discover free pages across categories such as mandala, floral, animals, nature, unicorns, and zen. The selection also includes famous paintings such as the Mona Lisa, Starry Night, and The Last Supper. Pictures can be colored and recolored, and finished creations can be shared on major social networks. The app is listed as playable offline and as a single-player game. It is available on Android, Windows, iPhone, and iPad; the iOS listing requires iOS 13 or iPadOS 13 or later. The free plan includes coloring pages and contains ads. In-app subscriptions are listed at $4.99 a month, $9.99 a month, and $49.99 a year. Google Play reports no data sharing with third parties, possible collection of location, app activity, and two other data types, encryption in transit, and an option to request data deletion.

Coloring Book: Color by Number offers offline coloring, a range of picture categories, and social sharing. The free option contains ads, while subscriptions are also listed for users considering paid access.

This app suits people who want a number-guided coloring activity with offline play and varied picture categories. It is also an option for users who want to share their finished pictures on social networks.

Coloring Book: Color by Number is a guided digital coloring book for people who enjoy filling in numbered designs rather than drawing from a blank canvas. It suits casual, solo coloring on a phone or tablet, especially when offline access matters. Its range of themes is a strength, but ads in the free option and recurring subscriptions make it less appealing to readers who want an uninterrupted experience at no cost.

Overview

Each image pairs numbered regions with matching paints, turning coloring into a straightforward matching activity. The pages cover mandalas, flowers, animals, nature, unicorns and zen designs, as well as familiar paintings such as the Mona Lisa, Starry Night and The Last Supper. That variety gives the app more range than a book devoted to one subject, though the numbered format is best for structured coloring, not freeform illustration.

You can revisit pictures to color them again, and share finished creations on major social networks. Offline play makes the app suitable for coloring without a connection; as a single-player game, it is not a collaborative activity. Free coloring pages let users start without a subscription, but the free option contains ads.

Key features

• Numbered coloring: Matching regions to paints provides a clear task for people who prefer guidance over choosing colors and drawing freely.
• Varied subjects: Mandala, floral, animal, nature, unicorn and zen categories offer different themes, while famous paintings add recognizable images to the collection.
• Recoloring and sharing: Pictures can be colored again, and finished work can be shared on major social networks. These features support repeat use and showing results, not joint creation.
• Offline, single-player play: The app works offline, a practical advantage for coloring away from a connection, but play remains a solo experience.

Pricing

The free plan costs nothing and includes free coloring pages, with ads. It is the sensible starting point for occasional users who accept advertising; no page quota is stated.

Three in-app subscriptions are offered: Coloring Book Weekly Subscription costs $4.99 a month, Coloring Book Monthly Subscription costs $9.99 a month, and Coloring Book Yearly Subscription costs $49.99 a year. The yearly option has the lowest stated monthly equivalent, while the weekly and monthly subscription names distinguish the other choices; all are recurring paid access. The plan details do not state what paid access adds, so readers should weigh the known cost against the free pages and ads rather than assume a particular upgrade.

Platforms

The app is available on Android, iOS and Windows. The iPhone and iPad versions require iOS 13 or iPadOS 13 or later. Google Play describes the Windows version as powered by Intel technology. Offline play is supported, making the app useful on mobile devices when internet access is unavailable.

Who it's for

This is a good fit for people who want a structured coloring pastime, enjoy a mix of decorative themes and famous paintings, and value the ability to color offline or revisit images. It is less suited to artists looking for open-ended drawing tools, people seeking multiplayer coloring, or users who do not want ads or recurring subscription costs.

Pros and cons

• Pro: The numbered-region format gives each page a clear, guided activity.

• Con: Paid subscriptions have recurring costs, and the stated plan descriptions do not explain what they add beyond free pages.
