"One of the cleanest version 1.0 apps I've used in a long time, and considering all of the iPhone technologies and external links it takes advantage of, that's saying a lot."
***Gear Diary: "my new favorite app" ***
"Every once and a while an iPhone application comes along that makes you go WOW! ... This is truly one of those really cool applications that makes the iPhone even more useful that it already is...

Why?
There are plenty of apps for manipulating a single image or posting a bunch of photos. And you can spend hours in current programs making the perfect movie or multimedia extravaganza out of your photos. What Pix Remix does is help you quickly curate your photos and turn them into a multi-faceted show – one that’s fun to create, and receive.
In making these shareable shows, Pix Remix takes advantage of the gestural interactions that make the iPhone so compelling. You are able to do things like:
- Shake to rearrange a collage, and
- Swipe to create a path to follow in panning across a picture.
We hope this beats using a mouse and toolbars.
Features
- Choose a few photos and a starter template. Select from traditional slideshow, animated collage, or our powerful Pan and Zoom templates.
- Use intuitive gestures to alter your show the way you want. Pinch, drag, and tap to create a collage, and shake to rearrange it. Swipe to create a path to follow to pan through a picture.
- Add some captions to set the stage.
- Share it the way you want, directly from the app, using Email, Facebook, or Twitter.
- Recipients can view the show on the web or in the app.
Pix Remix is the perfect complement to apps like ColorSplash, Camera Zoom, Photogene, PhotoEffects, and CameraBag. Combine your enhanced photos into a show and share them!
There’s no end to the things you can do with Pix Remix. Here’s just one example:
You snap a few photos while on a hike. On the ride home, you arrange them into a quick collage, add captions around a few photos, and post it to Facebook. A friend who wasn’t on the hike sees these creations and comments about how she wished she could’ve been there... but at least got a sense of how beautiful it was from these shared shows!

Customer Reviews
Unique app that's not a one-trick pony!
This app helps you quickly combine a few of your photos together into an interesting package. It has a ton of functionality built into it, and a slick UI that ties it all together. I'll just mention a few of my favorite features here.
The way you can create a show that automatically zooms in and pans around to specific parts of a photo is awesome. You can write captions about different people in a picture, or give a little photo tour of a room or a landscape.
I also like how you can choose different kinds of shows -- like an animated collage, or just a simple slideshow.
But my favorite part is how you can send it directly to your Facebook or Twitter profile and have others view the show right from their feeds. It's so much more interesting than just posting another album of photos!
What a unique and creative app!
My first paid-for app, and totally worth it. I just started getting more into photography and this has been a really fun way to showcase my burgeoning hobby. I love the pan and zoom function, and especially the direct to Twitter and Facebook capabilities--saves me an extra step (or two or three). I feel like this would've also been amazing in my college years when I could caption photos--"check out Dave's keg stand!" Overall, a great app--thanks!
A good start
This app is solid and runs quick. It's light on features and customization. Because of this, I think it's a great starting point. I hope future updates add simple features like controling the speed of the Ken Burns effect.
While their website tries to justify the limit of the numbers of photos used, 8 just isn't enough. I'm inclined to think there is a technical limit to the number of photos and app can manipulate.
As I said, I think it's a great start but I'm not sure it's quite worth $2.99 yet. Thigh value is relative to other apps, not absolute as $3 is that much.
