![]() Instagram and Snapseed are two examples of extremely popular iOS imaging apps that recently, after a rather long wait, have been ported to Android. However, with Google's Android OS increasing its popularity and snatching the number one spot in the mobile OS ranking, developers have been hard at work to make their apps available for Google's platform.

We'd recommend checking out the app if you want an alternative to other creative photo editing apps.

The app also only comes with a limited selection of filters and frames, though you can easily and quickly download a wider variety of packs. It takes some experimentation before realizing what the film, bulb, and frame icons actually represent. When you're editing a photo you're presented with five icons: a back arrow, a film strip, a light bulb, a frame, and a save option. Our one complaint about the app's design on Android is the lack of labels on many of the options. There are only so many photos that can benefit from having a double exposure, though we do think the ones included with Pixlr-o-matic are among the best we've seen. The filters and overlays themselves are quite good, though they rely on the same washed out effects that pop up in every app of this type. You can add a single filter or multiple filters, with options for overlays and borders as well.
