Collections for iPad

The good : it works like eBook in regards to page turning ( that's it fir the good)<br/>The bad : the photos are behind the frame they do not turn together. So we you turn your iPad from portrait to landscape or the other way around, you will end up with landscape frames on portrait photo other way around ( portrait frame on landscape photo ). so a photo of a face on portrait when turning the iPad to landscape will show only part of the nose and the mouth, because the photo doesn't adjust itself to the new orientation. This app has failed were others have succeeded. <br/>Also when importing photos the photo will lose 10% or 20% of it's contents in the periphery. So part of the hair and part of the chin will be lost ( in a face photo). The problem is you can not pan or crop or resize photos in this app. So you will be stuck with what you get, no menus or tools or anything else to fix or tweak the photos in this app. ( so disappointed ) <br/>On a side note, I have done this idea before (making photo virtual albums with page turning and it was easy too). All I needed to do was inserting photos in a Pages or Word blank pages then saving them as PDF. There after I convert them from PDF to ePub and add the file to my eBooks through iTune and there it is ( Voila! ) = a photo album in my eBooks library, where I can turn the pages like and ebook.

I seem so me that Apple has not yet come up with a way to organize our photos as the list of pictures gets longer and longer. Collections solves that problem for now.

Wish I could give this application a good review. I so wanted to like it. But when I created an album using my existing folder on Dropbox, it took the photos, changed their aspects, and squashed them into four pages. This may be user error as I just started using the application. But it is no use if it makes three long skinny images out of three normal sized landscape format photos which is what it did. Totally useless if it does that.

I love this app. My only wish Is if we could adjust the photo if it is to big to focus on the subject. In other words choose the part of the pic we want to display. I love it. Thank you. Jude

I LOVE Collections. I've tried several that let the user make photo albums AND this is far and away my favorite. In just a few minutes, I was able to document a retreat and send the results to delighted participants. It's easy and flexible, with improvements coming all the time. This is now one of my mainstay go-to apps. Would work for novices and designers alike.

Fantastic idea, lots of potential. Slow and prone to crashing. Needs a lot of work. Needs to be able to post an album to Facebook as well.

Good start. I also really need the app to allow me to resize my images once they are placed into the template. Hopefully the designers will incorporate that function in the next update. Until then I'll stick with Kenote for iPad. When this change is made I'll be upgrading to 4 or 5 stars

crashes every time I try to write text. Why not allow the photo template boxes the flexibility to be used for either photos OR text? Want to keep this program because it's cool, but won't seriously start to use it until the bugs r fixed...
