MY THOUGHTS

I've already been using Pixlr-o-matic even before I had an android. I'm a great fan of vintage and retro-themed stuff since who-knows-when, so I was really thrilled when I found out about Pixlr-o-matic. When I got an android phone last September 2011, I was even more thrilled to see that Pixlr-o-matic has an android version, too! Now I can edit my photos anytime, anywhere, instantly! Here are some screencaps I took:

PHOTO EFFECTS

There are a number of presets available, most of them are grungy, vintage, and retro. Aside from these, you can also download additional effects if you like. However, I think the presets initially available are already adequate ;)

for this one, I chose "Anne"

OVERLAYS

The second step is to add overlays such as bocea, fog effect, glitters, chemical burn effect, stars, and many others.

For this one, I chose glitter.

FRAMES/BORDERS

Third and last step is to add a frame. Choose from basic borders to grungy, dirt, Polaroid, and a lot more.

SAVE

Easy as that, save your photo in the size you like.

I don't usually use the second and last step. I'm just really after the vintage filters and effects. It's pretty much enough already. However, you cannot adjust the tones, hues, and brightness of your photo here. So usually I still use PhotoWonder prior to using this one.

I give this app four stars 

just because I love the vintage filters :P
