A Beautiful Mess
This app lets you add cute text, doodles, and frames to your photos. This is one of the easiest ways to jazz up a photo to give it a little something extra.
Afterlight
This is, hands down, my favorite photo editing app of all time. It’s great for brightening photos. See the difference for yourself below. Sidenote- the text was added to this photo via A Beautiful Mess! There are also many filters and other editing tools to choose from in this app. It’s not free, but worth it. If you only get one app, let it be this one.
PicFrame
This app lets you make photo collages and side by sides like the photo above. There are many styles to choose from and it’s very easy to use. This app is also great for when you have multiple photos you want to show off, but don’t want to break the unwritten rule of over posting on Instagram. Just make a collage of a few photos and voila.
Squaready
Have you ever taken the perfect photo only to find out when you upload it to Instagram, it’s too large and now part of your photo is being chopped off? It’s not a good feeling! This app lets you post your photo to Instagram without cropping it. No more oversized, chopped off photos!
Picfx
This is your go to app for endless effects and filters for all your photo editing needs. There’s also an option for adding frame and tons of popular bokeh filters.
What are your favorite photo editing apps? Is there an app you can’t live without?

Hey girl! Thanks for stopping by my blog earlier today 🙂 another good photo editing app that I personally go to all the time is VscoCam. Seriously amazing. I never use any of their filters I edit everything on my own.

Oooh! I did a post about this months ago here –> http://houseofsage.wordpress.com/2014/05/01/my-top-5-free-instagram-helper-apps/
Wish I could get Afterlight, but the Android version has such low ratings that I don't even want to bother.
