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

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 app is the single is and has the best underdog free version of any app out there. and the paid version will blow your mind. the tools might seem simple at first but if you noticed something this app doesn't have permeters like other photo editing apps these tools are meant to be mixed and matched and played with but it allows you to do this with all the settings if you wanted to you can mix all of them. Its the best because it allows u 2 a take a photo and truly make it into a work of art.
