Being an arty farty with Pixlr-o-matic

So as I said in my last post, here's the first of my favourite Android apps I've been using, which in my opinion is far better than Instagram which everyone goess crazy about for god knows what reason. I tried Instagram for a day and was disappointed by the serious lack of effects it has. I think the only reason why people go gaga over it is coz' of the community website where the pics can be posted to show off to the rest of the Instagram world. I'm not one who cares for what random people have to say about my pics. And I find it annoying that everytime someone posts an Instagram pic on FB, I gotta go the community site just to see the pic. Why can't it just be seen as a popup like normal FB pics? Oh well, not everyone shares my gripe, I know but to each their own.

Now Pixlr-o-matic is a photo editing app that I love to bits. Like Instagram, the effects are mainly to give a retro effect, but it has a gazillion more choices of effects compared to Instagram, including the ability to combine effects. The best thing is a randomizer button which randomly assigns effects to the pic and I can choose to edit the effects I don't like and keep the ones I do like. Good for when you're feeling lazy. And of course it has options gto easily post to social networks sites and doesn't force you to go some other link just to view the pic. Pixlr-o-matic also has a website from which you can edit on your pc, which is great for those who don't use smartphones and also want the same effects. All in all, there's nothing not to love about Pixlr-o-matic.

Here are some of the cooler pics I've done so far with this app, including a pic of my nieces which I love so much, it's my current phone wallpaper. Enjoy! :-)
