What’s It About?

From the main menu, kids choose the kind of layout they want "Grid HD" for grids with varied layouts, "Single HD" for the usual single, and other options depending on your device (iOS users won't find as many choices). Next, the app takes them to their device's gallery (as well as cloud albums for Android) where they select the photos they want to use. Then, kids can rearrange images in the grid, change the layout of the grid, change the background, and for Android devices, add text, stickers, word bubbles, and more. Once they're finished, kids can save and share their creations.

Photo Grid – Collage Maker has lots of great features and flexibility for creating photo layouts. You can select from several layouts, various fonts and text box patterns and designs, stickers, orientations, and frames. You can also choose to render with a sketch effect, swap, rotate, nudge, zoom, or center each photo in their grids. Choosing photos from the device gallery is easy, and file management is a snap. Resolutions come in 720 to 1024 pixels and in jpg or png format. Settings give kids some nice storage choices and the ability to email for support. Note that iOS users will find fewer options -- it's really a bare-bones version of the Android app. On the down side, some of the menu items are confusing, and navigation is not intuitive in spots. Still, it's a fun way to make cool photo collages, especially if you're using the Android version of the app.

Did we miss something on diversity?

Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
