### 5/5 — Sehr schön

*2026-03-23*

Danke, dass die schönen Bilder kostenfrei verfügbar sind. Ich fände es noch toll, wenn man die Felder zum Ausmalen nicht nur antippen müsste, sondern es auch eine Option gäbe mit dem Apple Pencil richtig auszumalen. Hier gerne auch mit der Möglichkeit über die einzelnen Begrenzungen rausmalen zu können.

### 4/5 — Super App

*2026-03-10*

Keine Werbung, super Animationen, verschiede Malstile für jedes Bild frei wählbar, jedoch zu wenig schwere Motive zur Auswahl

### 5/5 — Abstürzen der App

*2025-12-16*

Die App gefällt mir sehr gut. Es sind sehr schöne Bilder zum Malen dabei. Aber die App stürzt immer wieder ab.

### 5/5 — Macht Spaß

*2025-12-07*

Die App macht unheimlich Spass, die Bilder sind schön zum malen und ich mag die Auswahlmöglichkeit der verschiedenen Varianten (schwarz/weiss etc.) Schade dass es keine Weihnachtsbilder oder zumindest Jahreszeitenbilder gibt.

### 4/5 — Another Coloring Toy!

*2024-11-21*

Yesterday (11-20-24) I discovered that you made another coloring book to turn what is selected numbers into colors.  I counted 125 pictures.  

Can you add a calendar with a new picture each day?  At least you have color options and can redraw finished photos!  

Thank you for the app!

### 4/5 — Good and bad

*2024-09-22*

Pros:
Music you can turn on and off. The music is very nice.
NO ADS I can’t believe it.
Pictures look like real paint by numbers art you can do. I loved the cottage picture a lot. 

 Cons:
Only about 50 images so they are quick to do.
Can’t log in via Facebook or Google to back up your work if you happen to change devices or delete the app.
Images don’t have the “hide completed images” function so you see what you’ve done before.
Areas are hard to see and the highlighted areas to colour in are grey and white and I found it hard to see.

### 4/5 — Läuft problemlos

*2024-04-09*

Die App läuft problemlos auf dem iPad. Ich hoffe, es gibt bald wieder neue Motive - v.a. mit dem schwierigsten Grad (dunkelrot). Habe alle Bilder durch, zum Teil auch schon mehrmals…
Einziges Manko: manche Felder lassen sich nicht ausfüllen, oder es stehen 2 verschiedene Nummern drin.

### 1/5 — Leider nur eine Finger-tipp-App. Kein richtiges ausmalen möglich

*2024-03-13*

Ich hatte mich sehr gefreut als ich diese App von Ravensburger entdeckte, da ich dachte wenn Ravensburger schonmal eine Malen-nach-Zahlen App erstellt, dann doch bestimmt auch „richtig“. Doch leider wurde ich sehr enttäuscht. Wieder ist es nur eine „Fake“ Malen nach Zahlen App in der ich mit tippen auf das Feld ausmale. Das ist für mich kein malen! Solche Apps gibt es schon zu genüge. Seit Jahren bin ich auf der Suche nach einer App bei der man wirklich mit dem Apple pencile richtig ausmalen kann. Eben wie beim richtigen Original. Schade! Die App wird wieder gelöscht.

### 1/5 — Immer wieder  abstürzt

*2023-05-21, version 1.0*

Speichern futsch, wenn Absturz umd weiß Bild. Immer wieder nach vorn anfangen malen, keine Bock mehr

### 4/5 — Gerne mehr Billder - macht Spaß

*2023-05-03*

Ich habe die App als Ersatz für die alte Puzzle App ( die viel besser war als die neue , die neue Puzzle App nutze ich nicht) runtergeladen und macht Spass zur Entspannung. Die höchste Schwierigkeitsbilder habe ich jetzt bereits durch und würde mich über regelmäßig neue Bilder sehr freuen.

**Developer response:** Hallo, das freut uns sehr zu hören. Es werden mit der Zeit immer neue Motive eingestellt.
