Those that follow my twitter account @gavinfabiani know that I like posting photos of my pets and Dartmoor. Consequently, I also have tried a number of photography apps. Below are my favourite-

1. The default camera app that came with your phone. Always start here and see what it can and can’t do.

2. The phone’s default editing options. Explore what your phone can and can’t do. Examine file sizes after editing too as some photo editors shrink the photo.

3. Camera Zoom FX – simple easy to use and tons of editing options. Works on tablets too. Complete control of photo capture. Voice activation.

4. Color Splash Effect – takes an image and makes it black and white. Then add back colour to the areas you want. Plus add text, effects, overlays, frames, and textures too.

5. Picsay Pro – similar to Camera Zoom FX but only for editing photos. Has some snazzy effects too.

6. ProCapture – camera + panorama – high quality panoramic photos up to 12 linked together, wide shot, loads of camera options. Good on tablets too. No post editing just great at taking photos.

7. Pro HDR Camera – full control over taking HDR photos. Plus after editing adjustments before saving.

8. Photoshop Touch – enables layers and other pro editing options. If you know what you are doing this is a very good app.

9. Lapse it – Time Lapse – Pro – create some stunning time lapse effects. A tripod might be handy.

10. Snapspeed – another post editing app. Drama is a great affect to use. Makes boring photos exciting.

A lot of the apps have some overlap, but each offer something special. With all the above and the default camera app you will be surprised by what you can achieve.
