PhotoRus - Collage Maker 5.1

Create nice collages with pictures from your gallery using this neat application
People like to snap pictures of all sort of things and they also do a good job at editing them and making images stand out. But another way in which you can enhance your pictures is by using a collage maker. Google Play Store is filled with all sort of applications that could help users do just that.

One of such apps is Pixr Collage. It has all sort of features for creating collages but don't expect much from it. It has a dated UI and it's missing some essential tools.

Dated interface that could use an upgrade

The app doesn't come with a tutorial or any instructions, but you shouldn't have any trouble with accessing features inside this app. It's missing material design and it doesn't have a side menu with sections. It also lacks a settings menu, meaning you can't make any general changes to the app or pick the destination folder for edited collages.

The interface could use a nicer design as it sports a boring wallpaper and it doesn't use animation at all. In addition, the app doesn't have a separate section in which you could check out the collages that you've completed.

Create all sort of collages

The first thing that you need to do in order to create collages is to pick a pattern from the grid provided on the home screen. You can create collages with up to 9 pictures from your gallery.

However, the app doesn't let users access their camera and snap pictures. It also has some issues, you'll need to tap on the screen multiple times before it will open the gallery and you can pick a picture. You can adjust the shape of the border, but the app doesn't fit your pictures to the size so you would need to pitch the screen.

More features and some flaws

You can adjust borders and even apply a wallpaper in the background. The app comes with some frames that you can add to your collage. In addition, users can change the color of borders and add some stickers to their collages.

When you're done editing, simply save the collage and share it with friends online. The app has some issues, it's missing some essential features and the quality of images is quite poor. Moreover, it doesn't come with any picture editing tools and you can't add text to your collages.
