Make compelling content with simple Mag+ features

Pinning

Create a single layout that renders perfectly in either orientation by telling objects how to move when the user turns the device

Audio

Embed audio files as additional content. Set them to auto-play or create custom control buttons.

Dual Layout

Create a unique design for each device orientation, or use one layout for both — the choice is yours.

Sound effects

Add short sound files that can play over the top of background audio.

Zoom and pan

A simple checkbox in the plugin makes images that can be zoomed to reveal even more detail. Another easy checkbox turns on panning, or scrolling in a frame, giving you even more layout options.

Playlist

Make your audio files accessible through our unique in-app music player, which lets the user play music in the background while reading.

Layers

Lets you put your content on layers that interact with each other. It gives you more freedom to make a layout that feels native to the touchscreen canvas.

Video

Take advantage of total flexibility in how you use video: full-screen, pop up or directly in a page; streaming or embedded; auto-play or controlled.

Media looping

Make video animations or background audio that play continuously.

Snapping

Set your scrolling layer to stop precisely where you want it to control the layout the user sees.

Jump links

One click lets you add a hotspot that can take the user directly to another page, another issue or even another app.

Popups

Create hotspots that trigger new information like graphics or text to pop up using basic InDesign layers. Choose cool visual effects when your popups open, including zoom and flip.

Web links

As easy as making a jump link, you can point a hotspot to any URL and have it open in an inapp browser or directly in Safari.

HTML

Get highly interactive: if you can build it in HTML5, you can embed it in your Mag+ layout simply by drawing a box and pointing to a file.

Link Highlighting

Add a visual highlight to any hotspot to give users feedback when they tap.

Orientation Locking

Fix your whole app to any orientation(s) that best shows off your designs

Instant Review

Only Mag+ gives you the ability to instantly and wirelessly review your layout, fully-functional using our Reviewer app. Available for every device we support.

Export to various devices

Design for one device, then click a button and have that design intelligently transferred to templates for any other device.

Fully scriptable plugin

Automate your workflow with InDesign scripts that control the Mag+ plug-in, or use our sample scripts like the one that lets you export a whole folder of InDesign files at once.

Settings to optimize file size

Keep your issue sizes down with multiple export settings that let you find the right balance between quality and download time.

Slideshow with swipe

Upload as many images as you like and make a swipeable slideshow. Add captions, masks and custom themes.

Pinch & Zoom

Upload a high-resolution image and let users pinch to zoom in on detail.

Gallery with thumbnails

Another great slideshow option with just as much room to customize the look and feel.

Web feed

Stream live content seamlessly into your app with a powerful RSS renderer. Just paste in a feed, customize and publish.

Image Sequence

Make 360-degree rotations or other image sequences that the user can simply drag their finger over to activate.

App building

With Mag+, you build your app simply by uploading a few images and assets, choosing the options you want and clicking a button. A few minutes later you can download a test app and a file to submit to Apple, Google or Amazon.

Newsstand

Build an app that’s compatible with Apple’s Newsstand and even get an automated feed for sending the right cover art to the Newsstand when you publish.

Additional Navigation Options

Turn off the default thumbnail scrubber, or even disable swiping, to create the app experience that's right for your brand.

Issue publishing

When you’re done with an issue, upload it to Publish and decide which devices you want to publish it to. Add a cover, title and description for the store and library.

Full Subscription Control

Use our simple subscription API to tie your app into your existing fulfillment house and sell subscriptions on your own site, or control access with a sign in window.

Your Choice of Analytics

Track every detail about how readers are using your app with your choice of analytics providers, with free options from Localytics and Flurry, as well as support for Omniture.

Issue Control

Decide whether any issue is part of a subscription or not, for full control over your offering.

Push notifications

Send unlimited notifications to your users just by typing in a message and hitting send.

Enterprise Apps

Create secure and flexible Enterprise apps. Control your content and host it wherever you want – in line with your security policies. Make your internal content accessible and titles searchable through the built-in Library, and manage segment-based access with our Subscription API. Use Push Notifications to update and communicate with your audience. Evaluate the usage and efficiency using various build-in analytics options.

No Download Charges

With Mag+, you always have the opportunity to host issues yourself and pay nothing to us. Or you can use our hosting and pay a few cents per issue—no pre-payment necessary.
