Querkles: Adult Colouring for Mindfulness App Reviews

31 add

Fun, needs work to pass as a "mindfulness" app IMO

1) Even when zoomed in as far as possible, some areas with numbers are smaller than my smallest stylus and hard to color even with the "paint" option. 2) "Pen" and "line" are fuzzy and useless on medium and small areas without a better zoom. 3) Let me pick all colors I want to use and remember them or keep them on screen for easy switching when I find an area I missed.

Crashing

The app has potential but every time I use it it crashes after just a few clicks. It lags when it is working, and the zoom feature needs to get more detailed. Too bad because I really like the idea behind it. Please fix the crashing issue so I can at least try to play.

Love It

Great app! Good way to pass time.

Fix the 4s

I love this app. I am always pleased with the picture when finished. I would give it 5 stars but for a couple of issues. I finally figured out why the 4s always have a white dot in the middle of the number - the 4 is enclosed. I think this would be an easy fix to change all of them to an open 4. Next is the difficulty coloring some smaller areas. I dont mind it only colors half the space but hate it when, no matter how many times I hit it, it will not color the rest.

Very fun

But I wish once My Palette created it would be remembered so if I have to do something else my custom colors are remembered or there was a way to number the colors so I could come back and not have to recreate. Im also hoping more portraits and masterpieces are coming because this is truly very fun.

A few tweaks...

This is almost great. But within several specific pictures, not all, the fill tool "action" happens consistently one section to the right of tap location. That really pretty much ruins the experience of the piece. Sloppy edges are one thing, especially with this level of detail on a small screen, but this is a much more fundamental miscalibration that badly needs addressing.

Like a jigsaw puzzle

Putting together abstract shapes and slowly the whole is revealed. Like a jigsaw, but more participatory. I like not knowing where I am going, except in a broad sense. Would love a palette to hold the five values that would remain visible.

Horrible

What a great idea translated into the crappiest app. Everything is so small and when you zoom its all pixilated. The paint tool is awful and you have to tap like 10 times in each circle to get it painted. The numbers screw everything up. Horrible.

Very good art for non-artist or crafters

I can hardly draw a straight line but if I follow the directions my pictures are really great. I didnt read the directions at first so my picture and it didnt look right. It so relaxing and enjoyable. If you are the crafting type you will love this app. I will probably buy some more of their pictures. Give it a try.

Intriguing idea but sloppy output

I really really want to love this app. It is very different from the other coloring apps, and the concept of the bubbles slowly transforming into the picture is great. But the fill option sometimes takes 3 or 4 taps to work, when it does it bleeds outside of the section covering the surrounding ones, and on some puzzles it even requires you to tap a half inch to the left of the area you want filled in. The pen isnt a ton better either. If these were fixed Id love it and give it 5 stars. Edit - gone down to 2 stars. Colors on page are shifting if I save and exit the page. So frustrating, definitely not a nice mindful break.

The pictures are fun to to do, but spaces do not fill in with a tap. Irritating!
