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

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

    In September 2011, the company changes name to Mag+ AB in Sweden and to Magplus Inc in the US. The name Mag+ has since the start been used for their 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.
