Cool Pixlr 1.0.0.2
Windows Phone users have a relatively complicated choice to make because of the large number of apps of this kind that are offered in the Store. Thus, those who are looking for a means of adding some cool filters to their images can try a tool like Cool Pixlr.
Nice looking interface, with a convenient layout
The appearance of this app is quite clean and all the commands and functions are easy to reach from the main screen. The preview area for the loaded pictures is very generous and the effects will not take long to load upon being selected.
The major nuisance you will have to deal with while working with the images is the presence of some pushy adverts that come in the form of some animated banners. There are also some occasional reminders that will ask you to rate and review Cool Pixlr.
Pick the pictures or take new snapshots to edit
This utility is able to use any of the images you keep inside your photo library stored onto your phone and you can also use it to acquire new snapshots from the front or rear cameras of your handset.
The actual personalization of the pics is very simple and quick to complete, as the utility takes care of everything the moment you select the effect you want to add.
A neat feature is the custom Camera Roll stream that appears in the main screen and presents you the images on your local storage with some filters already applied, so you can start your work from there.
Add all the effects you like onto each image
The available enhancements are quite a few in number and they are split into two categories you can go through. A great thing about Cool Pixlr is that it offers thumbnail previews for each of the filters using the input image, so you can get a pretty good idea about how the output will look like.
The "Undo" feature is most welcomed, especially since the application enables you to add as many effects as you want onto the same pic. For a couple of effects, though, applying the change will take a few extra split seconds to settle in.

Bottom Line
Design / UI7
The aspect of this application is pretty nice and simple, but the advertisements it displays inside the GUI take away some of the good feel. |
Function5
The good diversity of filters and the fact that several effects can be added to a single photo are the only advantages, as the utility lacks editing functions and sharing abilities. |
Security8
Generally well-behaved, this app leaves most sensitive areas unvisited, but still peeks inside the owner and phone identities. |
Battery4
The consistent power consumption of this app will drain the battery in a relatively short time on prolonged use. |
Price9
The feature set is completely free to enjoy by any user, but Cool Pixlr has plenty of advertisements inside the interface. |
Compatibility9
The utility will run well on any Windows Phone handset that is powered by version 8 or higher of the operating system. |
