User Rating:A brilliantly and designed app, Photomag gives users the ability to create professional looking magazines complete with their own pretty covers and extensive articles. All this, right from their iPads.
In Photomag, users are given the power to create their own magazines from scratch with the help of the thoughtfully implemented built-in tools. These include templates to follow, as well as layouts that aid in designing the magazine.
The app allows users to upload images straight from their devices, and even comes with pre-installed filters to add an editing touch to said photos.
The general layout tools in creating each individual article are very useful indeed. They come with preset locations to put photos as well as text boxes, and are arranged very neatly to avoid clutter.
Photomag is really a dummy-proof app, with clear steps and concise instructions to creating that magazine.
A free app, Photomag is definitely worth the download. Even if you are not an aspiring journalist or editor, this is still a pretty interesting app to play around with. Additional templates and layouts can be unlocked for a fee via in-app purchases.
