### 2/5 — Datei-Bild import nicht möglich

*2026-08-09*

An sich ganz nett, leider lassen sich bilder aus dem dateimamager nicht hinzufügen, dasselbe foto aus der gallerie funktioniert. Ist echt lästig weil man so jedes Bild erstmal in die Gallerie importieren muss, und besonders ärgerlich weil die app recht teuer ist dafür dass so eine Basic Funktion nicht funktioniert.

### 1/5 — Ein schönes Programm aber seit vielen Jahren keine Weiterentwicklung

*2026-04-07*

Schade

### 5/5 — Just made easy.

*2025-12-29*

Gone are the days that you can sit at a desk and get things done with being on the move while working a job that just pays the bills, I’ve been looking for a app that can do my lettering on for some time. Thank you!

### 5/5 — Best app ever.

*2025-11-20, version 3.5.15*

Really helpful for making fun comics. I found out about you guys on instagram. Thanks

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2025-11-14*

Absolutely unusable. No demonstrations, no easy rendering or adding or editing. Waste of money, don’t waste your time.

### 5/5 — Love This App

*2025-09-02*

This app is so much fun.  You can do so much with your photos..give it a try..I did and I love it.  I even have it on my desktop computer.  Great APP!

### 2/5 — Datensynchronisation praktisch unmöglich

*2025-06-21*

Ich finde Comic Life 3 vom Funktionsumfang her ganz OK, aber die App versteckt die Daten vor dem Benutzer, es ist nicht möglich, den Speicherort / das Verzeichnis selbst einzugeben. Das ist ein Problem, weil ich die Software sowohl auf dem iPad als auch auf den Mac installiert habe und mal auf dem einen, mal auf dem anderen Rechner an einem Projekt arbeiten möchte. iCloud wäre dazu ideal, aber man kann der App nicht sagen, wo die Daten gespeichert werden sollen, sodass die jeweils andere Plattform sie einlesen kann.

### 3/5 — Comics

*2025-05-09*

Super

### 5/5 — Works great in 2025

*2025-04-16*

Easy to use, has a mild learning curve for more “complex” things. You can download new/free fonts to iOS and then use them in CL3. Have made a few comics so far and love it, ngl I leave the sound on lol.

### 5/5 — Very helpful

*2025-04-09*

Very helpful
