Color Splash FX 1.4.0
The app comes with some nice tools that let you play with colors on your pictures, switch them to make your pictures more interesting. However, the execution is quite poor. Many features inside need unlocking with credits, making the free version quite dull.
Simplistic and dark interface
We've seen our fair share of photography apps here and we know how important it is to sport a stylish interface and layout, to make the app appealing to users and to showcase the plenitude of features found inside.
However, the app's UI is quite dull and boring with only the option of snapping pictures or loading images from your phone's gallery. It also advertises other apps and users must download them in order to get coins and unlock features inside the app. The main page features a dark background, meaning that developers haven't put much thought into the app's design.
Good idea, poor execution
The whole concept behind this app is to snap color pictures, have the app turn them into black and white and change the picture's colors. But, some of the tools for doing so are locked and can be made available if you purchase them with coins.
Other than that, the app is filled with banner and pop-up ads that can become annoying. In addition, there are nagging messages to rate the app or unlock features by purchasing the full version for 1.99$. Still, the app has some nice features.
Snap pictures and play with colors
Take a picture but the app won't automatically open it after you're done, so you'll still have to tap on the open picture button, which means the first one was actually useless. To add color to a black& white picture, simply slide your finger on the screen.
There's a back button in case you've made a mistake and you can also use brushes to add custom colors to the screen. Adjust the edge, opacity and size of your brush and use photo masking to make perfect color boundaries. You can add 9 effects to your pictures. Stickers are also available, buy for 1.09$. All in all, it's a cute app for coloring black and white pictures, but only those taken with the app.

Bottom Line
Design / UI6
The interface clearly needs more work, it's dull and looks quite cheap. |
Function7
The UI is non-responsive at times and the app clearly needs more free features and tools. |
Security8
It needs a lot of permissions from your phone, but it shouldn't pose any security issues. |
Battery8
Consumption is absolutely normal for such an app, it doesn't have the capacity of draining your battery unless you use it extensively. |
Price6
It's filled with nagging messages to rate the app and pop-up ads. Also many features are locked and the price of in-app purchases reaches 55.51$. |
Compatibility9
It should work just fine on devices running Android version 2.1 or later, making it accessible to many users. |
It clearly needs more work and more free features.
