SNAPSEED
THERE are a lot, I repeat, a lot of photo applications out there in the world, but not many great editing programs for the mobile device. That is, essentially, the whole reason that programs like Instagram exist -- because filters make mobile photography look less horrible.
If you want a little more control over how your pictures look, however, consider Snapseed. This app is a little complicated to navigate, but it gives you a much wider range of options for editing. From the app, you can sharpen, blur, color correct, change focus and a whole lot more. The complex features require you to pay close attention to the instructions the app offers, but the payoff can definitely be worth it. It does have one major disadvantage, however: The Android app is still in development. $4.99, for Apple's iOS devices.
