The S96 app transforms every Studio 96 Publishing coffee table book from a static object into an interactive, hyperlinked, and digitized platform with endless creative, marketing and community-building applications. By scanning an image or page in a Studio 96 book using the S96 app, users can be led to a webpage or AR experience. Examples include online product pages, social media profiles, or other hosts of exclusive content. Images can also trigger Augmented Reality animations, such as videos or imagery, that augments onto the book object itself. With AR, the effect is that images in the books “come to life.” This unprecedented technology in the world of print publishing can upgrade print from a static object to a platform that can obtain user insight and habits.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Studio 96 holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 2.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ScreenLogic Connect has 234 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 21% of ScreenLogic Connect's written reviews are positive against 0% of Studio 96's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
ScreenLogic Connect ships an update every 6 weeks, Studio 96 every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and September 27, 2026 respectively.
