1. Free. 2. Zero learning curve. 3. Fun and a bit addictive. 4. All age appropriate. Grandkids like it too. 5. Possibly a good brain teaser if you use it purposefully. 6. Nice springboard for color pallet ideas to apply on other artwork. 7. I use it on designs created in MirrorLab to discover ideal color combination. 8. Did I mention FREE? I would upgrade to a low cost ad-free version as I have been using it for years and I know it is a keeper.

This is till my favorite editing app, and always will be. Always will be. It may not have standard "pro" features one might be looking for, but for me, I find that in the end, my best, one-of-a-kind photos comes from using¹ Chroma Lab. I can get filters from any app. Chroma Lab gives me a color pallette. I can get photo effects anywhere from the Play Store. Chroma Lab gives me tools to tweak effects endlessly. Pair with Mirror Lab and you get masterpieces - time and time again. Buy the full

This is the ONLY app i have EVER paid for. I figured it was the least I could do for allowing me to use the free version for 4 yrs & never sliding in a single ad or makin it a 7 day trial. This app is one of the best! Most of the posts that u find online are white w/black writing. I use this app to make them more colorful before I post them on FB. I do have one request, would u consider a before/after button? So u can see the difference from before/after u worked on it? Keep up the great work!🏆
