Probably the underdog of photo editing apps on this planet today. Developed by Google, SnapSeed is a very best photo editing app.
It may require getting some used to it because this is not your usual photo editing app. Here, you are in complete control of your picture.
Start using it, and you’ll get the best out of your image.

Best Features:
Healing – Have a smudge in the picture, a piece of trash spoiling your almost perfect shot? No worries, just open a picture, choose healing and tap on the part of the picture you want to remove, and voila! It’s magical! ( I promised! ).
Of course, this would require some getting used to.
Brush – Here, no moronity, just a simple brush, as you’d find in any photo editing software. You can keep swiping the screen till you adjust your Exposure, Temperature, Saturation or adjust Dodge & Burn.
Selective – Need a very small or a very large part of a picture dark, light or vivid? Just choose ‘Selective’ and click on the area where you want to adjust. A perimeter point will be dropped. Pinch to adjust the diameter of the point and swipe to adjust.
Perspective – This is a very smart and useful feature if you’re into photography. If you’re a pro, then you already know about this, if not then, it is a simple photo editing software that helps change the perspective of the photo clicked. Just choose ‘Perspective’ and adjust according to taste. The more you practice, the merrier the app gets. One of the best photo editor app which makes your image picture perfect.

Best Features:
Hashtags – yeah, yeah, I know, “It is a hashtag app, what is so BEST about it?”
Well, technically everything. The popular section shows you – topics and then inside mood and genre-wise trending hashtags which are the most popular hashtags on Instagram. Isn’t that a bit insane?
Here you can also create your own personal collection of hashtags which you may use later in the future. Faster.

Auto & Caption – One of my most favourite features is Auto. Almost sorcery this!
Has it ever happened to you that you have one very beautiful picture, ready to upload, but you suddenly cannot come up with a good caption? No problem! Just upload the picture on the Auto section and it’ll not only recommend popular hashtags based on the picture but also recommend caption! I’ve tried it multiple times, the AI works every time, like a charm!
