The story

In 2009, Bonnier's Research and Development unit started a project to investigate how tablets will change the magazine industry.

In April 2010, Popular Science iPad App, created by the project team, was presented by Steve Jobs on stage during the launch of iOS 4 and the company began offering its software.

In January 2011, the company Moving Media+ AB was formally founded.

In September 2011, the company changed its name to mag+ AB in Sweden and to magplus Inc in the US. The name mag+ has since been used for the software. The name mag+ originate from Magazine and the + character represents an enhanced magazine experience enabled by the interactive multi media possibilities that tablets and smartphones offers, compared to print media.

As of June 2015, over 4,500 apps have been built on the mag+ platform.

In July 2016, MPS Limited acquired mag+.
