Photo frame apps are a dime a dozen. We all have those moments on Instagram where we have not one, not two, but maybe five or more photos we want to share. At the same time, social etiquette calls for not spamming the timelines of our followers with photos they couldn’t otherwise be bothered with. So this is where arbitrary photo framers come in. However, with so many in the app store, how do you know which to choose?
For a long time I was stuck with one of those typical framers that are a plenty on the app store. However, I soon got hold of PicPlayPost which honestly changed the game for me. While most framers will set grid limits to maybe 4 or even 5 photos and have a larger amount available for in-app purchases, PicPlayPost provides up to 6 slots in its grids which is more than enough without sacrificing picture visibility.
I also like how the grids are all thoughtfully arranged so as to make sure every picture can be clearly seen even when cropped. We can also see the attention to details paid by the developers through nifty little features such as having the currently used frame colored when returning to the app after exit.
But the largest drawing factor of PicPlayPost lies in how it allows for manipulation of videos. Instagram recently launched a video function that allowed for users to upload animated snippets of their lives albeit limited to 15 seconds. However, with PicPlayPost users can frame up videos as they would with photos, allowing for multiple cropped videos to be uploaded within the same frame. They can also be framed together with photos so that some slots in the grid show photos while others show moving videos. The degree of customization is so great that it even allows for multiple videos to be played simultaneously, or in decided sequential order.
So for $1.99 PicPlayPost is definitely worth the money. One of the best framers I’ve ever used and I’ll definitely continue to use it in the long run.
