PicsArt - Photo Studio
Well-designed UI with cleverly arranged tools
For an app that combines so many features, PicsArt is definitely well designed. The fluent interface leaves plenty of space for displaying images, without banner ads to take up the screen or icons to confuse users.
It comes with instructions, but you won't need them as all sections and icons are self-explanatory. But to better present the app, we must break it into sections.
A community of professional and amateur photographers
PicsArt is one of the best places to showcase your photography skills or simply browse for inspiring images and cute wallpapers that you can share with friends. Simply swipe through images and follow users or comment on their posts.
In addition, you can check out the trending section with the most popular artists and pictures, divided by tags. And considering that it's a community, there are also photography contents that you can enter, vote for your favorite images and get promoted on the website.
Photo editing tools and camera filters
PicsArt is great for editing pictures directly from the camera section. You can apply filters even before you take images, some of the coolest are sketcher, graffiti, neon and mirror.
Also, you can add lights and cool borders, like broken skin. You can also change the texture and apply nice shades. All effects also come with options to increase brightness and contrast.
The same filters and more are available for pictures that you load from your phone's gallery, while the app also provides the option of creating collages or drawing onto a photo or black canvas. In conclusion, PicsArt is truly a photo studio, containing everything you would ever dream of from an image editing tool.

Bottom Line
Design / UI8
Overall the design isn't impressive, but it's well thought and arranged to fit the multiple features and not take up too much screen space. |
Function9
It takes a bit to load the gallery of images, but the app responds well to changes made on pictures and doesn't seem to face any stability issues. |
Security8
It needs online registration and will access many areas of your phone, still it doesn't pose any major privacy or security issues. |
Battery7
Not quite a battery drainer, but keep in mind that it requires constant internet connection and the camera feature usually takes up a lot of power. |
Price9
It comes with ads, but comes with in-app purchases for unlocking further editing tools of up to 5.99$. |
Compatibility8
The developer didn't specify Android versions required for this app, but it does work on tablets. |
Everything you need from a photo editing app and much more.
