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.[4]

In January 2011, the company Moving Media+ AB was formally founded.[5]

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.
