App testing & reviews · See our review methodology
An app that works fine on iPhone doesn’t automatically make good use of iPad’s larger canvas. We specifically test on iPad hardware and prioritize apps where detailed regions and fine touch targets stay comfortable to use at the bigger screen size, rather than just scaling up an iPhone layout.
How We Chose
We test on actual iPad hardware and note where a larger screen meaningfully improves the coloring experience, alongside our standard BCA Score criteria.
