Whether you want to slap a simple filter on your photo or get granular and change attributes like color levels and saturation, we’ve got a list of the Android apps you’ll want to use.
Snapseed
The good: With its unique gesture-based interface, this offers an incredible level of control over its effects and filters.
The bad: The tools and interface aren’t intuitive, so it could take a while to get familiarized. Also, the lack of a zoom function makes it difficult to see finer adjustments.
The cost: Free
The bottom line: If you’re a serious mobile photographer looking for an app with which to fine-tune your photos, Snapseed is your best choice.
Pixlr Express
The good: Offers more than 600 effects that all work well and are easy to use. Auto Fix and Focal Blur (tilt-shift) are particularly effective.
The bad: The app doesn’t warn you before backing out, which can result in lost work. A Recent Files picker upon launch would be nice.
The cost: Free
The bottom line: One of the most powerful Android apps in its category. Despite its minor flaws, it should be your go-to mobile photo editor.
The good: An excellent way to turn mundane images into cool-looking photos you can share with friends. Mapping features mean people can easily browse all your geotagged shots.
The bad: Photo Map features default to showing all your geotagged shots, which could be dangerous under some circumstances.
The cost: Free
The bottom line: If you like taking retro-looking shots and sharing them, Instagram is tough to beat. Mapping features and frequent updates to the app mean your pictures will have a longer browsing life span.
Photo Grid
The good: Offers a huge menu of grid templates and a dead-simple interface for combining photos into framed collages.
The bad: The app unfortunately doesn’t let you customize the thickness of collage borders or the level of curvature on rounded panels.
The cost: Free
The bottom line: Even though it’s missing a couple of nifty customization tools other collage apps have, Photo Grid’s simple interface and outstanding menu of predesigned grids make it the best collage app on the market.
