Photo Editor - Effects 1.0.0.0
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.
A more specialized tool that is tailored to take care of a single task is Photo Editor - Effects Editor and it's main purpose is to help you choose and apply the best filters for your pictures.
Uncomplicated but also dull front-end
The looks of this application are less impressive from the visual perspective, as the graphics are less smooth and the large tiles shown inside the home screen stand out only through colorfulness and lack of inspiration.
Browsing the relatively long list of filters is unproblematic, but there are some minor lags that become visible when you swipe through it at a quick pace.
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 and also as full screen ads. There are also some occasional reminders that prompt you to rate and review Photo Editor - Effects.
Add the filters and share the images on the fly
The actual processing of the pictures is very simple and quick to complete as the utility takes care of everything as soon as you pick the effects you want to add.
The list of available enhancements is pretty long and a great thing about this application 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.
Another advantage of Photo Editor - Effects is the ability to add several effects to the same pic, which can make the output quite nice looking. Should you care to revert any of the changes, simply tap the "Undo" button from the main menu shown in the lower part of the screen.
When it comes to sending out the edited images there is a quite annoying drawback to cope with, as the app asks you for a rating in order to unlock saving and sharing.

Bottom Line
Design / UI3
The lose a lot because of the ugly tiles and overall unappealing look, coupled with the pesky ads, some of which interfere with the use of some functions for the main menu. |
Function5
The 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. |
Security4
Way too nosy, Photo Editor - Effects peeks into system areas completely unrelated to its actual functionality. |
Battery3
The power consumption for this app is massive, as the battery usage records extremely high levels. |
Price9
The feature set comes completely free of cost but the application is plagued by an endless stream of ads in all shapes and sizes. |
Compatibility9
Windows Phone 8 and higher devices are the only ones that support having this utility running properly. |
