Instagram, the world’s most downloaded and used photo sharing app is gaining immense popularity ever since it was taken over by Facebook Inc.

Most people resorted to editing their pictures in Retrica, Snapseed, Photogrid, Instapic or Picsart for making collages and uploading them later on Instagram.

Instagram has now realized this need for making their software better and have now launched a new standalone and free app called ‘Layout’ on the iTunes store, which has brilliant elements in it like collage making, stickers, comments and other such features that make it really powerful as a subsidiary to Instagram.
