Bevor man sich eine App holt, mit der man ein Fotobuch auf dem Handy erstellen kann, liest man erst mal alle möglichen Rezensionen. Auffallend ist, dass viele Menschen auf hohem Niveau Kritik üben. Das kann ich so nicht bestätigen! Trotz des kleinen Displays bin ich sehr gut mit der Benutzeroberfläche und ihren Funktionen zurecht gekommen. Am Anfang hatte ich noch ein paar kleine Probleme damit, dass sich Bilder untereinander ausgetauscht oder überlappt haben, aber nach einer kleinen Gewöhnungsphase ging das auch super leicht von der Hand und passierte nicht mehr! Außerdem kann man jederzeit auf ‚rückgängig‘ klicken. Sehr sinnvoll finde ich die Anzeige, welches Bild man schon benutzt hat. Auch die Hilfslinien. Ich habe nicht automatisch ausfüllen lassen, sondern selbst erstellt. Hintergründe, Rahmen, Schriftart, Bearbeitungsoptionen… alles ausreichend da. Ich war sehr begeistert. Auf das Ergebnis warte ich nun sehr gespannt. Dankeschön. P.S.: Wow, einmalig. Super schnelle Bearbeitung. (Do erstellt/Samstag Vormittag schon da!) Beste Qualität. Vielen Dank! **Developer response:** Es freut uns sehr, dass du trotz anfänglicher Herausforderungen so gut mit der App zurechtgekommen bist. Deine Geduld hat sich gelohnt! Dass du alle Funktionen wie Hilfslinien und die Bildübersicht schätzt, bestätigt uns in unserer Arbeit. Wir sind gespannt auf dein Feedback zum fertigen Fotobuch und wünschen dir viel Freude damit! 📖✨ ### 5/5 — Outstanding *2025-12-20, version 3.6.1* After being disappointed by poor print quality of other apps like Journi print and Popsa, finally found Saal. Just got my normal Photobook and the print quality & resolution is outstanding. Love it. I will only use you from now on x ### 4/5 — Schönes Fotobuch, super Qualität *2025-11-27* Ich bin insgesamt wirklich sehr zufrieden mit dem Fotobuch. Die Druck- und Materialqualität ist super, die Farben wirken klar und hochwertig. Außerdem war die Lieferzeit überraschend kurz, sodass ich das Buch schneller in den Händen hielt als erwartet. Ebenfalls positiv fand ich, dass die Gestaltungssoftware sehr benutzerfreundlich ist. Man findet sich schnell zurecht, und das Erstellen des Buches macht Spaß. Ein kleiner Verbesserungsvorschlag: Es wären mehr abwechslungsreiche Layout-Vorschläge schön. Es wäre hierbei sehr hilfreich, wenn Layouts auch für einzelne Seiten angeboten würden und nicht nur für Doppelseiten. So hätte man bei der Gestaltung noch mehr Flexibilität und könnte einzelne Seiten individueller anpassen Trotzdem ein tolles Produkt, das ich auf jeden Fall weiterempfehlen kann! **Developer response:** Hallo Lorena, danke dir für dein Feedback und deine Weiterempfehlung! 😊 ### 1/5 — App does not work! Neither does the website. Impossible to use this service *2025-06-20* I spent a good hour on multiple devices and had a few emails with support trying to even begin a photo project using Saal. I tried the ipad app but it won’t load, i used my MacBook to use the macOS software but there is no file there to download. I tried the website editor and just get a buffering screen that never loads. literally impossible to begin a project. How do they make money if nobody can even order something? Is this company still in business? **Developer response:** We are really sorry that you had so many problems with making your project. We would like to take a closer look at the issues you described and help you here, so we would be glad if you could send us a short message with the problems you have encountered: https://www.saal-digital.com/support/contact-customer-care/ ### 3/5 — Impossible to switch portals *2025-05-03, version 2.96* This app seems to work only with the Saal-digital.com portal. It would be nice to be able to connect to Saal-digital.de as an alternative in order to to place orders there. ### 4/5 — Versand und Ergebnis top - Abzug App *2025-02-12* Die Lieferung ging extrem schnell (Sonntag bestellt und Dienstag war es schon da). Mit dem Ergebnis bin ich auch sehr zufrieden. Es ist sehr hochwertig. Auch der Kundenservice war perfekt. Die App hat mich leider teilweise Nerven gekostet. Könnte aber auch daran liegen, dass ich es am iPad und nicht am Computer gestaltet habe. Was mich gestört hat, war, dass bei der Auswahl der Layouts teilweise Bilder einfach rausgenommen wurden und ich so nicht mehr nachvollziehen konnte, welche Bilder ich vorher ausgewählt hatte. Außerdem fehlte mir etwas die individuelle Bearbeitungsmöglichkeit bei den Layouts und auch die Auswahl der Layouts reichte mir nicht. Oftmals musste ich Abstriche machen. Vielleicht habe ich die Option aber auch nur nicht gefunden. Dass ich die Schrift nicht auf die Bilder setzen konnte, sondern sich alles verschoben hat, wenn ich Schrift einfügen wollte war auch störend. Jetzt habe ich gar keine Schrift im Buch. Alles in allem würde ich definitiv trotzdem nochmal bestellen. 30 Euro Rabatt gab es auch was natürlich klasse war. **Developer response:** Vielen Dank, dass du dir die Zeit genommen hast, uns so detailliertes Feedback zu geben! Es freut uns, dass dir die App grundsätzlich gefällt, aber wir verstehen natürlich, dass die beschriebenen Probleme beim Gestalten sehr frustrierend sein können. Das sollte so nicht passieren, und wir möchten das unbedingt verbessern. Wir würden uns freuen, wenn du uns hier eine Nachricht zukommen lassen kannst, damit wir dein Anliegn genauer prüfen können: https://www.saal-digital.de/support/kontakt-zur-kundenbetreuung/ ### 1/5 — Unusable *2025-02-03, version 2.95* Really wanted to use Saal to create a photo book having seen some great reviews and products. However, the app is completely unusable. First it keeps crashing when trying to create a product so you can’t even get to the first stage, then when you do it pops up with a ‘no connection’ message every thirty seconds, and finally I can’t even save the photo book as the app crashes every time I try to create an account. Unfortunately I may have to look elsewhere. ### 1/5 — Nothing Works *2024-12-06, version 2.94* I went to the app because the website is having issues. The app is even worse. Once I open it. It just goes to a buffering screen. ### 2/5 — no uk shipping without warning! *2024-10-26, version 2.93* I spent a few hours to create an album only to realize that UK shipping is not supported ### 4/5 — Photo book *2024-10-20, version 2.93* Excellent quality and overall good user-friendly… text needs work to be more user-friendly ## Frequently asked questions about Saal Digital ### What kind of photo products can I create?
