Pros and cons of Monster Coloring Book app for iPhone and iPad

Monster Coloring Book app good for

Color a monster (Monster Coloring Book) Its awesome. I love playing it Sincerely Renee

Creatively its very nice but the performance is poor on iPad 1. Delay between coloring and tapping is too frustrating for my 2.5 year old. All of the menus are clunky performance wise and not easy to navigate. updated from 3 to 4 stars with latest update. The UI has been improved

This app is lots of fun, and not just for little kids. Lots of cute pictures to color and the features are great. I wish there was an undo option though. And for future updates maybe you could consider adding some brighter colors because most of the ones in the app seem a little washed out.

Some bad moments

Charming in its presentation but frustrating interface. We purchased more monsters but they do not seem to appear for coloring. An app for children should be intuitive. For the moment, there are better coloring apps available.

Graphically stunning! Great job there. Cant for the life of me, figure out how to use the freehand brushes on our own monster instead of the sample one. Not very feature rich! not enough of anything to be truly creative with. Not enough stickers, patterns or colors! Sorry, this could have been really great but its mediocre at best.

Love the app but its needs alot of improvements like the ability to zoom in and out. The user interface need to be redesigned, as a graphic designer I would like it to be more like (adobe ideas) app. Im sure if u do it, this app will be one of the app store hits

This app is an overall spectacular experience. There is a really nice variety of pages to color along with a nice range of tools to enable you to hit the ground running. If you want to spend time adding the attention to detail by picking a brush or decal to really make the monster your own. Its very easy to output your customized monster to your photo album along with a printer with adds a great "cool factor". At first it was a little challenging for my 4 1/2 daughter to pick the tools or monsters that she wanted to use because you have to purchase the items with monster bucks, however after taking a little time to set things up for her she was able to easily enjoy the app without my help so I would suggest, for younger kids, to take a few minutes to help set it up. As for utilizing some of the full capabilities of the iOS, it cant be any better. A single purchase enables it for both your iPhone and the iPad and, once again, the printing feature really makes the app complete. I really look forward to seeing how The Monster Coloring Book evolves over time.

Im crazy about this app! Its cute, fun and ridiculously engrossing. If I need to relax but have limited time, I just color a monster and go back to the business of my day a little more cheerful. I would love to see more stickers available--- a customizable speech bubble would be awesome. I would instantly give this 5 stars if I could zoom into the picture. Its still a lot of fun on an iPod Touch or iPhone but it would be easier to use with zoom.

It would be nice to be able to play own music or have some kind of longer playlist so it doesnt loop so much. Crashes quite often - otherwise pretty enjoyable.
