GulluAn iPhone Coloring App for Kids Ages 3 to 7
Short answer: Gullu runs on iPhone with iOS 17 or later. It has more than 1,000 coloring pages for ages 3 to 7 and no ads. Pinch to zoom, tap to fill and a Tiny pen make a phone-sized page workable, and the first page of every land is free.
Most of the time the device a child ends up with is a parent's phone. Here is how Gullu works on that smaller screen, and what to set before you hand it over.
Does coloring work on a small screen?
It does, with three things that matter more on a phone than on a tablet.
- Tap to fill. One tap colors an area, so a child does not need to drag accurately in a small space.
- Pinch to zoom. Zoom in on a small part of the picture, color it, zoom out.
- Tiny pen. A thin tool for the smallest spaces.
The magic brush also helps: it keeps the color inside the area where the stroke began, even when a finger covers half of it.
What should I set before handing over my phone?
Settings are behind a parental gate, which asks a multiplication question. Behind it a parent can:
- switch off saving to Photos, so pictures stay inside the app
- turn on Simple mode for a child's profile, which leaves only the magic brush and tap to fill
Gullu itself has no ads, no account and no web browser inside it. To keep a child inside one app, iPhone has a feature called Guided Access. Our guide to setting up a device for a young child walks through it.
Is the iPhone app the same as the iPad app?
Yes. It is one app for iPhone, iPad and Mac, with the same pages and tools. One Gullu Plus purchase covers all three, and it supports Family Sharing. If the iPad is the main device in your home, see the iPad page.
Does it work without signal?
Yes. Once installed, Gullu works with no Wi-Fi and no mobile data. See the offline page.
