Subscription Increase Effective July 1, 2023:
When the iOS app launched in 2019, the subscription price was set at $1.49/month, $14.99/year. Since then, Android was released in 2020, and now the Web app in 2023. There have also been new features added to these platforms. After 4 years of improvements and enhancements, effective July 1, 2023, there will be a slight increase to the subscription price: $1.99/month, $19.99/year. We are so grateful for every subscriber who has helped support the app, and we hope you feel this is still of great value.
For monthly subscribers, it may be time to consider changing from monthly to yearly and lock in the current price. Read below for instructions on how to do this:
Android:
There is more than 1 way to do this, but in all cases, Android requires that you cancel the monthly subscription and wait until it expires, then start the yearly subscription.
In the Color My Life app:
1. Settings tab
2. Select the Membership banner at the top of the screen and it will take you to the Google subscriptions screen.
Change subscription on the Google Play app (Google description)
- Go to the Google Play Store app on your phone.
- Click on the Menu Options button (three horizontal lines).
- Select Account and then select Subscriptions.
- From there you will be able to cancel your monthly subscription and purchase a yearly subscription when once your monthly subscription expires.
iOS:
In Apple’s AppStore app:
1. Touch your image in the top right
2. Select “Subscriptions”
3. Select the Color My Life subscription
4. You should see an option for Monthly and Yearly subscriptions.
5. Select the yearly, then follow the prompts.
The change will take effect at the end of the current month’s subscription.

Tips & Tricks:
Problem Logging into Web App:
If you try to log into the web app and are getting the message to upgrade your mobile app, but your device is already current (Android: 1.6.5 or iOS: 1.7.0), we have a suggestion for you. Make a small change in the app on your mobile device and then wait a minute or so to allow your device to sync. The sync process will update our server with your correct app version so you’ll be able to log into the web.
Working with Manufacturers and Storage Locations in the Web App:
We have a new video! If you’re unsure how to create new Manufacturers or Storage Locations in the web app, then this video is for you.
