Photo Grid review
A collage app with over 70 million users worldwide, Photo Grid strikes a fine balance between functionality and accessibility, wrapping up all the features you need to create gorgeous collages in a highly intuitive interface that looks great and is easy to use.
Pros
Different collage modes: While other similar apps merely offer you different layout options, Photo Grid features a home screen with the following self-explanatory modes: Grid HD, Single HD, Free HD, Template HD, Filmstrip, and Video Slides (slideshows). While the editing options are the same for all these modes, some have special features -- for example, shaking your device in Free HD mode changes the background color, whereas in Grid HD mode it changes the order of the photos.
Graceful interface: Not only does the colorful UI look great, but it also moves smoothly and proves highly intuitive. We especially like the stream of featured collages from other users, the neat home screen buttons for launching different functions of the app, and most of all, the ingenious left-hand sidebar you can bring up when browsing for local images, which helps you find the pictures you want to add more quickly.
Video slides: You can create short slideshows of up to 25 seconds, adding your own background music and even signatures. These are great for quick presentations.
Cons
Inescapable ads: The only element that looks out of place in the otherwise beautiful UI is the constant banner at the top of the screen. It eats up plenty of screen space, and since it's much bigger than the Done/Next button, it can be distracting. We believe many users would appreciate an ad-free version, even if they would have to pay for it.
Bottom Line
If you need a collage app but don't know which one to pick, you can't go wrong with Photo Grid. It offers enough features to satisfy the majority of users. This is a great, multipurpose photo app that you can use not only for your family photos, but also at work for quickly creating slideshows, presentations, and social media content.
