## What is Janosch?

The Trip to Panama – the adventures of Tiger and Bear as an extraordinary app to discover and re-discover
 
Experience Janosch's bestselling classic picture book “The Trip to Panama” in a completely new way. In the app, you are going to travel with Bear, Tiger & their Tiger Duck to Panama – the land of their dreams.

Accompany Tiger and Bear in seven interactive chapters on an unforgettable journey to the land that "smells of bananas all over". Each of the seven chapters contains a fun game in which you can help Bear and Tiger on their journey. By playing the games you will receive rewards, which you can collect on the rotating Panama globe. In an extra area, selected mini games are waiting for you with even more levels.

Using animation technology that creates a cinematic look, the popular Janosch drawings gain a depth of field and are brought to life without losing that picture book feel in the process. Carefully placed interaction opportunities further enhance the story.

The timeless story of Tiger and Bear who go on a journey to Panama, has been enchanting children and adults alike for three generations. A nice home and good friends – that’s what you need to be happy. Because: “If you have a friend, (...) you don't have to be afraid of anything.”

Over 150 Janosch books have been published to date, some of which have been translated into more than 30 languages and have been sold millionfold. His Bear, Tiger and Tiger Duck characters have become an integral part of German literature and television (Tiger Duck Club).

Following the publication of “The Trip to Panama”, the book received the German Children’s Book Award.
The app was developed by Mimimi Productions UG, winner of the Apple Design Award 2012, the German Developer Prize 2014, and awarded as Best German Studio #5 at GameStars 2012.

### 5/5 — Auf dem IPhone doch mit Ton :)

*2025-05-17*

Wie viele hier schon geschrieben haben, spielte die App bei mir auf dem IPhone leider zunächst keinen Ton ab. Der Grund war der manuelle Schalter, mit dem das iPhone leiser gestellt werden kann. Dieser wird von manchen Apps respektiert. Als ich den Schalter auf laut gemacht habe, konnte ich die App mit Ton nutzen.

### 5/5 — Wunderschön

*2023-11-10*

Eine wirklich tolle App, lange nicht so eine schöne Kinderapp gesehen

### 5/5 — Sehr schön!

*2023-10-28*

Wunderschön gestaltete app. Ruhige bilder, keine störenden soundeffekte und viele schöne spiele. Eine der wenigen apps, die auch unserem kleinen (2) schonmal in die hand gebe.

### 5/5 — Tolle App!

*2023-02-12*

Unsere Kinder sagen: sehr, sehr tolle App. Die Spiele machen wirklich Spass und auch die Janosch Geschichte und wird toll dargestellt!

### 1/5 — How do i switch on the tone? 😔

*2022-07-11, version 1.1*

The voice does not work. Please help.

### 1/5 — Leider ohne Ton

*2021-11-01, version 1.1*

Hallo, erst hab ich mich sehr gefreut über die schön illustrierte App, doch leider hab ich es nicht geschafft dass ein Ton abgespielt wird. Auf i-Phone leider nicht möglich zu nutzen.

### 1/5 — Kein Ton!!!

*2021-08-11, version 1.1*

Nutzlos, da Ton nicht funktioniert.

### 1/5 — Kein Ton

*2020-03-22, version 1.1*

Funktioniert nicht auf iPad

### 3/5 — Tolle Inhalte aber …

*2020-01-10*

… leider überhaupt nicht an aktuelle iPhone- oder iPad-Modelle angepasst. Bei so einem Evergreen-Thema wirklich richtig schade. 😕

### 2/5 — Ganz süß aber ebenfalls kein Ton!!!

*2019-08-21*

Ich finde die App ganz nett, es ist aber - wie in einigen anderen Rezensionen beschrieben - kein Ton vorhanden. Es liegt definitiv an der App, nicht an irgendeiner „lautlos“-Einstellung. Das ist nicht nur schade, sondern für 3,99€ wirklich nicht zu akzeptieren. Eine De-und Reinstallation bringt leider auch nichts.
