Want a new mandala coloring page to print tonight? Mandaly designs symmetric mandala coloring pages from a few simple controls — change the rings, petals and pattern, watch the preview update, and print clean black line art. Tap Design Mandala, adjust the sliders until you like it, and tap Make Coloring Page. You get a print-ready PDF page and a high-resolution image. • RINGS AND PETALS — choose 2 to 12 concentric rings and 4 to 24 petals for anything from simple, bold designs to dense, detailed ones. • ENDLESS VARIATIONS — the seed picks a pattern for each ring: pointed petals, circles, diamonds or lobes with dots. Tap the dice for a random new design; the same settings always give the same mandala, so you can make it again. • LINE WEIGHT — thin lines for fine pens, or thicker lines for crayons, markers and younger colourists. • ORNATE BORDER — add or remove a scalloped outer border. • A4, US LETTER OR SQUARE — pick the page size for your printer; the mandala is centred with a margin. • PDF AND IMAGE — share the PDF to print it or save it to Files, save the 2400 × 2400 px PNG to Photos, or share the image. Honest scope: Mandaly generates designs from these settings. It is not a freehand drawing or in-app colouring app, and it does not turn photos into line art. Pages are black lines on white. Everything is created on your iPhone. Nothing is uploaded and no account is needed. Try it free — 3 coloring pages. A one-time $4.99 purchase unlocks unlimited pages. No subscription, no ads.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Mandaly at every 3 days against Calendar's every 5 weeks. Calendar's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
