MOBILE PHONES AND TABLETS

PHOTO
1. PicsArt (Android, iOS)
-   It’s fun, easy to use, yet covers just about all the bases for consumer mobile
photography. It provides lots of creative control, excellent image-editing tools
and a large variety of attractive filters.
-   you can quickly select or create fun stickers, combine your pictures into highly
customizable collages, add artistic text and share. The full-featured camera
module includes pre-capture effects and photo tools. 
-   Can be downloaded for free but offers a premium subscription for $11.99 for a
single month or $55.99/year
2. Snapseed (Android/iOS)
 Snapseed isn't for the casual user, but rather for serious photographers
who want or need to spend time creating the best possible image while on
the go.
 It has a full array of top-notch editing tools, including selective edit
brushes, plus a nice collection of film-related filters (such as Lens Blur,
Retrolux and Double Exposure).
 Snapseed's excellent traditional tools and nondestructive editing make it
one of the best photo editing apps for serious photographers who want or
need to spend time fine-tuning their pictures.
 The app is free and there is no premium version.
 Snapseed also includes a bunch of tools typically found only on a
desktop image editor: tools like a healing brush for correcting
imperfections and a lens blur option for focusing on one spot in
particular. All these tools, plus a wide range of filters, can be
tweaked and customized to get your pictures looking just right.
3. Pixlr (Android/iOS)
 Pixlr is one of the best photo editing apps for the casual photographer who wants
to do just a bit of fine-tuning, perhaps add some neat effects and then share on
whatever social networks are on their phone.
 It has an easy to use interface and photo adjustment tools.
 This includes brushes to apply selective edits (such as darken or undo). The
libraries of special effect filters, overlays, and borders are fun and generally
attractive.
  premium version ($1.99/month or $11.99/year) turns off the ads and provides
lots more content (stickers, overlays, borders, and fonts).

One of the more fun and friendly photo editing apps available, Pixlr
gives you access to an impressive number of options. You can do
everything from add text labels on top of images to paint out the sky in a
photo and replace it with something else. Despite all the advanced
functionality in the app, Pixlr is always simple to use.
You can pixelate images, rotate and crop images, remove red-eye,
apply plenty of filters and borders, and much more. If you're stuck for
inspiration, the app has some one-tap auto-fix options that intelligently
enhance your pictures using the most appropriate settings for the
image type (the subject, the lighting conditions, and so on).


4. Afterlight (Android, iOS)
 Afterlight  is designed for those who want to spend time editing individual photos.
 The tools for color, exposure, composition and structure are rather
comprehensive, including layers, curves, and selective hue. The stickers are
simple but varied, and text includes numerous fonts; both can be edited for color,
opacity, placement, size and rotation. In addition to multiple levels of undo and
redo, you can use the history screen to rollback your image to a specific stage.
Or, you can use the layers screen to select, edit or delete a particular edit.
 Unfortunately, a significant number of the tools and options, not to mention more
than 130 filters, are available only if you buy a membership for $2.99/month,
$17.99/year or $35.99/lifetime. Also, the Android version isn’t as advanced as the
iOS version.
 The app lets you shift colors in an image, drop text on top of
pictures, create effects like a double exposure, flip photos, and
more, and it supports image layers.

5. VSCO (Android/iOS)
 VSCO has a good variety of photo corrections and adjustments that produce nice
quality results, including film-emulsion-type filters. It can even import RAW files.
 Its feature set isn’t as comprehensive as some of the other best photo editing
apps. For instance, it doesn’t have selective edits, text or special effects, And
while you can choose your border color from within your photo, the only type of
border is a rather clunky one that will create a square photo format. Still, you can
save up to only 10 “recipes” — lists of edits done to a photo — to use on other
images. VSCO’s camera also offers a nice array of pre-capture controls (only in
iOS, not Android), including selective focus point, and manual control over white
balance, ISO and exposure.

 Besides everything you would expect to find in a photo editor,

there's more, including a comprehensive text-overlay feature and
a skew tool.


 The two areas of the app where you're probably going to spend
most of your time are in presets (a carefully crafted selection of
 filters) and adjustments (everything from skin tone to blur effects).
Besides everything you would expect to find in a photo editor,
there's more, including a comprehensive text-overlay feature and
a skew tool.
