Great Little App

Immediately responsive, with instant undo, enables you to experiment and be creative. Nowhere near as complex as Photoshop or even Pixelmator, Pixlr is perfect for the qick image changes you need, yet still has plenty of depth and robust features to really express yourself artistically. Some marvelous effects (though I still haven’t figured out how to duplicate the main promo pic where the stars are in the road). There are tutorial videos at the developer’s site and links for those appear when you first start the app. Unfortunately, I’m quickly learning that almost all the “Free” apps have something ELSE they want to also sell you, but this one has a fairly powerful assortment of tools available in the free version. I’ve yet to see the option pop up to purchace the Pro package, but they mentioned in tutorial video. The Bokeh or Blur effect is excellent, as is the Splash color isolation tool. The variety of cinematic style effects and textures can really add some dramatic image changes to your photos.

Refreshingly easy to learn (the whole experience is rather playful), yet the end results are pro-level magazine quality.
Thanks to the developers and Apple for generously making this available.
