Drag and Drop

Maparoni has extensive support for Drag and Drog: drag and drop within the app but also from and to other apps.

On the iPhone, you can easily rearrange things or move items between collections but on the iPad this really shines: Adding locations, URLs or images from other apps is as simple as picking them up in that app, and then dropping them in the list or on the map in Maparoni. The same applies to dragging things out of Maparoni into other apps.

This guide provides an overview of what type of items can be dropping into Maparoni, where you can drop them, what you can drag out and what type of content is supported.
