iPhone Coloring Apps

Baby Hippo: Kids Coloring Book

8.1/10 BCA Score

Baby Hippo: Kids Coloring Book is a simple, gentle coloring app built around a baby hippo character, aimed squarely at toddlers and preschoolers rather than older kids.

Beaver Coloring Book for Kids

8.2/10 BCA Score

Beaver Coloring Book brings a woodland theme to the coloring-app category, centered on a busy, likeable beaver character — a good option for kids who lean toward nature and woodland animals over farm or fantasy themes.

Butter Buddies Coloring Book

7.4/10 BCA Score

Butter Buddies Coloring Book has a genuinely nice tap-to-fill mechanic and a fun collectible-card reward loop, but only one page in the entire app is free — everything else sits behind a $6.99/mo–$34.99 lifetime paywall, and there's no parental gate before kids reach that purchase screen. Ads are absent, as advertised, but the free experience itself is thin.

Capybara Coloring for Kids

8.6/10 BCA Score

Capybara Coloring is a warm, animal-focused coloring app that rides the capybara's current popularity without feeling like a novelty — the pages are well drawn and varied enough to hold a young colorist's attention.

Cute Halloween Coloring Book

7.9/10 BCA Score

Cute Halloween Coloring Book has a genuinely cheerful, not-scary art style and a smooth tap-to-fill mechanic, never showed an ad in our testing, and has a real parental gate in front of its purchase flow. The catch is how little is free: only 1 of roughly 100 pages, with everything else behind a $6.99/mo–$34.99 paywall.

Dumpling Squishy Coloring Book

8.3/10 BCA Score

Dumpling Squishy Coloring Book turns coloring into a small collecting game, with kids opening a blind box to reveal a new squishy, food-inspired character to color each time.

Farmhouse Coloring Book

8.2/10 BCA Score

Farmhouse Coloring Book is the calmest, coziest adult coloring app we've reviewed: 106 richly detailed country scenes, soft palettes, optional ambient sound and a coloring mechanic that feels smooth and instant. Only 1 page is free, and its $59.99 Lifetime unlock is the highest we've seen, but if cottagecore is your thing, it's a genuinely lovely place to unwind.

Happy Dino Coloring for Kids

8.4/10 BCA Score

Happy Dino Coloring for Kids brings a cheerful, non-scary dinosaur theme to the coloring category, with friendly T-Rex characters and baby dinosaurs aimed squarely at young kids.

Highland Cow Coloring for Kids

8.4/10 BCA Score

Highland Cow Coloring offers a cheerful farm-themed coloring experience built around the shaggy, photogenic Highland cow — a solid pick for kids who gravitate toward farm animals over fantasy creatures.

Islamic Kids Coloring Book

8.6/10 BCA Score

Islamic Kids Coloring Book brings faith-based content to the coloring category with a large page set built around mosques, Ramadan, Eid and Islamic patterns, aimed at Muslim families looking for age-appropriate religious content.

Kawaii Animals Coloring Kids

8.5/10 BCA Score

Kawaii Animals Coloring Kids pairs soft, kawaii-style pets and forest animals with a light collectible-character hook, giving it a bit more staying power than a flat page-by-page coloring app.

Magic Unicorn: Kids Coloring

8.9/10 BCA Score

Magic Unicorn is a gentle, good-looking coloring app built around soft kawaii artwork — unicorns, clouds and friendly creatures — with a navigation flow simple enough for early readers to use on their own.

Retro Toy Box Coloring Book

7.9/10 BCA Score

Retro Toy Box Coloring Book pairs genuinely detailed, distinctive vintage-toy illustration with a smooth tap-to-fill mechanic and no ads, and it's clearly built for an adult pace rather than reskinned from a kids' app. The catch is the same one we keep finding from this developer: only 1 of roughly 100 pages is free.

Stained Glass Bible Coloring

8.7/10 BCA Score

Stained Glass Bible Coloring pairs scripture-based scenes with a genuinely striking stained-glass rendering style, making it one of the more visually distinctive Christian coloring apps we've tested.

Tiny Rooms Coloring for Kids

9.1/10 BCA Score

Tiny Rooms turns coloring into miniature interior design — kids color and decorate small dollhouse rooms rather than flat pages, which gives the app a distinct, replayable hook that plain coloring apps don't have.

True Crime Coloring Book

8.1/10 BCA Score

True Crime Coloring Book is a genuinely distinctive adult coloring app: detailed noir linework, a case-file design that carries through every screen, and 10 collections from cold cases to murder motels. It's strictly for adults, rated 16+ on the App Store, and only 1 of its 100 pages is free.

Vintage Halloween Coloring

7.9/10 BCA Score

Vintage Halloween Coloring pairs genuinely nostalgic, well-drawn retro Halloween artwork with a smooth tap-to-fill mechanic and a nice touch — finishing a page unlocks a collectible character keepsake. The catch is the one we keep finding from this developer: only 1 of roughly 100 pages is free.
