PicFrame is now available on Android devices! You can download it in the Google Play store. Testing Android apps is quite a bit different as there is an almost endless list of hardware variation. We have tested on quite a few popular devices with varying power and screen sizes and it all appears fine, but if your device has any quirks then let us know and we can update it immediately (a bonus with the Android store).
We look forward to bring out great updates to take this app to the next level!

You can easily create a Polaroid style photo in PicFrame, and with the labels in app purchase add some text to complete the look.
To start with select the frame with two areas for photos. One at the top, the other at the bottom.
Insert a photo into the top area and drag the border down so there is only a small area at the bottom. I’ve also rounded the corners slightly.
In the Style screen make the border width slight larger and select the pattern that is highlighted with a blue border in the screenshot below.
Finally, if you have the Labels add on for PicFrame you can go to the Labels screen and add one to the bottom area. I set the label color to be slightly off white and about 70% opacity, with the “Notethis” font in an almost black color. Feel free to play around with different fonts and colors to find something you like.
That’s it! Save it. You have created an awesome looking Polaroid style photo.

An update for Picfx has been released. There was a small bug that occasionally would cause a photo to rotate incorrectly when loading it from the camera roll. Thanks to a couple of people finding this and providing sample images that caused the rotation we have managed to fix it.

Creating a collage with PicFrame of your holiday snaps couldn’t be easier. Simply purchase PicFrame from the App Store if you don’t already have it, pick a frame and add in your photos. You can also apply effects by double tapping a photo, selecting “Fx” then choosing your desired effect. The above PicFrame photo uses Aqua for the left photo and Classic on the right.
There are much more features in PicFrame which you can use to show off your creative side, check out the rest of them here.
Happy Holidays!
