Beyond the Frame is a simple photo journal for saving a picture together with the story behind it. Choose a photo or take one on the spot, add a short title, date, and a few words about what happened beyond the frame. Tap or swipe the photo like a card to reveal the memory on the back. Features: • Choose photos from your library or take a new one • Polaroid-inspired photo cards • Color and gently styled monochrome finishes • Add a title, date, and short back story • Flip cards to revisit the memory behind each photo • Change background colors and handwriting styles • Export your photo cards as images • Automatically sync your memories across devices with iCloud Beyond the Frame is not about managing thousands of photos. It is about keeping the part of a memory that a photo alone cannot capture.
