Let’s Color- Magic coloring books for kids | lots of content, awesome technique, high price

iPad | Kids app for ages 3-5 years

We’re going to introduce you to a very extensive coloring book app, which offers a huge collection of various coloring books. All in all 20 coloring books are offered, which are either sold separately (via in-app purchases) or as a premium app (Full version) without any in-app purchases.

The full version costs $ 11.99 which is why we’ll take a closer look at this app, to see whether it is worth the purchase or not. You shouldn’t be put off by the price too quickly though, as the technical implementation is almost perfect and the scope is remarkably huge…

Besides, the Full version is offered for half price $ 5.99 at the moment and for a short time only!

Technically perfect coloring book app

Let’s Color has done a few things better than many other and cheaper coloring book apps for kids. The most important feature has to be the Magic-Mode , where kids color freely over the areas however, they don’t draw or color over the lines (not to be mistaken with the bucket-mode, which automatically colors a whole area in. This is also offered as an alternative). The actual painted area is also highlighted a little. We have never seen this combination (not drawing over the line and highlighting) in any other coloring book app before. (Tip: the darkening of the other areas can also be switched off).

The presentation of the colors as felt-tip pens is really well-done. At first, you get a pretty clear selection of basic colors, which can be quickly and easily used for many areas. So that little coloring book artists can give their pictures some final touches, 5 different color shades are offered by re-pressing on an active color. This aspect of this app has also been perfectly and child-friendly transformed. If one still wishes for a different color, there’s always the rainbow color-mix mode to choose from.

The various coloring book are also appealingly and realistically presented. Each one of them can be picked from a wooden shelf and the pages can be turned just like a real coloring book. Most other coloring book apps don’t simulate the turning of the pages or coloring book as such, but instead, show one coloring picture after another.

Let’s Color – Magic coloring books for kids | app rating

The perfect technical implementation and the huge size of this app justifies a high price, the question is, how high the price should be. We recommend a price-cut of under $ 6, so that the app remains competitive with other premium coloring book apps.

Alternatively, Let’s Color is offered as a Freemium app, where each coloring book costs $ 0.99 – at least it’s a free possibility to test the app before purchasing the full-version.

Conclusion: No matter how extensive – kids app prices over $ 5.99 give us stomach pains and always suffer in the rating as such. Our recommendation is therefore: Try out the free version and if you’re happy with it, get yourself the full version, which is currently offered for half price.

Pro’s
(++) Prefect technical implementation

(+) Good child-security
(+) Awesome presentation, real book feeling

Con’s
(-) Expensive full version
(-) Free version is good for testing (only little samples and pictures though)
