There’s no one-time purchase, nor free/discounted access for Mac users, but you can open and play existing projects without subscription, so the pricing is fair for those with occasional needs. That’s not as limiting as it sounds, because $5 unlocks all features for an entire month, with discounted three-month ($14), six-month ($23), or 12-month ($40) options for those who need them. (Effects are the one thing that don’t currently work on Mac.)įotoMagico for iPad is free for 14 days, requiring a subscription to edit slideshows beyond the trial period. Ranging from color correction to comic book and film grain, masks, borders, and vignettes, effects are a neat way to spruce up any slideshow, although we’d love to see Instagram-style filters added in a future update. The iPad version also introduces 15 effects, which can be applied to photos and videos to change their appearance. Like the Mac version, FotoMagico for iPad includes more than 60 royalty-free music cues across seven different styles. Audio Marker Assistant helps you to keep music and slides in perfect harmony (Pro Feature via In-App Purchase) Audio Volume Envelopes & Fades the most. This works great with included royalty-free music-more than 60 tracks across seven moods-but you’ll need to enter the BPM (beats per minute) for imported tunes that lack the proper metadata.

(DRM-protected Apple Music tracks can’t be used at all, a limitation also imposed on Mac.) Pay to playĪlthough the app lacks a timeline view to shorten or extend slides, as in FotoMagico Pro on macOS, the iPad version does include Audio Marker Assistant, which automatically syncs the duration of slides to the beat of imported songs or manually added audio markers.

The situation improves marginally with audio, but the search field is glacially slow to respond, and cloud-based tracks are inaccessible until first downloaded from the Music app. It took upwards of 15 seconds to initially access the media browser, with photos under the Recently Added category appearing out of chronological order and no way to sort them for easier access. The only issues came up when importing images, video, or audio from large libraries.

The iPad version includes the ability to add effects to photos, a feature currently unavailable on Mac. Among many enhancements, FotoMagico 5 now features a slideshow interface with pre-built stories called Snippets, Audio Envelopes and Fades to control audio levels, an Audio Marker Assistant to provide more precise sound editing capabilities, improved text editing and placeholders, and much more.
