1.0 out of 5 stars dislike!!!
Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2014
If you are looking to add text to your photos this is not the app for you. It adds "titles", with very limited fonts that look very much alike. It's difficult to figure out and doesn't have self explanatory buttons. Trying to find a "save" button is an exercise in futility. It wouldn't be a good deal if it was free, and four dollars is certainly too much.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hand's down best photo editing app
Reviewed in the United States on April 14, 2011
Phone:
Droid X

Pros:
- Awesome, polished interface, easy to use
- Ton of effects
- actually honest about the resolution of the pictures. A lot of other editors just use a smaller sizes, which will use less power and memory, and allow effects to be applied faster...Picsaypro you're allowed to pick the resolution when importing, maximum size being 1024 width(bigger than most editors on market)...Perfect size for quick editing for facebook, other social media sites, as well as for high quality text messages.
- Does the basics, well. like transforming, rotating, cropping, etc.
- Easy to use
- Best photo editing app to date
- easily import pictures from a lot of other places on my phone.

Cons:
- Would like to be able to use full resolution files, this is more a limitation of the android phone than the app though.
- A lot of effects, means a lot of silly effects too. Weird distortion and pix-elation, as well as cartoonish additions and word bubbles aren't really for me. Wish They were organized in a way that I could pick out some favorites to get to quicker, so I wouldnt have to scroll through all the others.
- High price tag
- Vignette has better collection of effects IMO

Should you buy?
With the price-tag, the average user is probably set with one of the free apps. I'm not a huge fan of the photoshop android app, but it does the trick if you don't care about the resolution of the files, and only want basic effects. And there's photo wonder and a couple others that will do the basics, and some pointless effects, for free. Especially if all you're doing is sending your pics in text messages. I'm a photographer and like my pics to stand out as much as possible. So to me, this was worth every penny. Quick to fix exposure and contrast, as well as color-correct, which are the things I need constantly. Then with a collection of other effects, including vignettes, and tilt-shift, i'm completely happy with this. Best i've used on the android.

3.0 out of 5 stars The way to size elements is good and I like the warping ability
Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2016
Decent picture enhancement app, but there are limitations. The stickers (elements) offerings could be more extensive. Those pet and flower crown elements seem to be all the rage right now. The image size could be larger for print purposes. Interface is a bit dated & cumbersome. It will take a little to figure the app out but not too much. The way to size elements is good and I like the warping ability.

4.0 out of 5 stars Best photo manipulation tool on android so far
Reviewed in the United States on August 21, 2011
I got this on the Amazon sale. The app is probably the best app I've seen on android for making modifications like cross processing and exposure. You can also apply multiple effects which is a nice touch. Interface is very clean as well and not full of crud. I love the slider method of making adjustments. It has some neat bubble text stuff that I don't use, but maybe useful if you want to start a meme. The free draw on pictures is quite nice though. Lets you point out things or make certain references (like, "this part in the engine bay is busted...")

Downsides include not preserving full size (none of the apps I've found do). There are no easy presets for those looking for instagram type things (though, cross process is pretty close, heh). It also retains your last edits in the app, but doesn't necessarily save it until you explicitly export to SD. This is a plus because you have to explicitly export to SD to know you've saved it. But from a UI design standpoint, it confuses the user because you can make more edits and not save it, but have it load up the next time you load the app.

Overall, pleased. I think this is more a $2.99 app though since I don't use it much, but if you're playing around daily, well worth the full price. Then again, haven't found anything else I like on Android so maybe it is worth more than I think.

1.0 out of 5 stars LOVED this app. Recently stopped working, cannot reinstall.
Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2016
I would have given this app 5+ stars until about 2 weeks ago when it claimed that I either didn't own it or didn't have connectivity. In attempting to uninstall and reinstall, it gets stuck in the process of "installing" FOREVER. Just refuses to complete the install. PLEASE FIX SO I CAN START USING IT AGAIN ASAP - I loved it!!

1.0 out of 5 stars Unexpected issues
Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2017
Repeatedly says that I'm not connected to the Internet. I uninstalled and reinstalled and then it said that I did not own this app, which was a surprise to me because I have owned and enjoyed using this app for years. Giving a one star rating. Please fix. Will replace with five shiny stars. Thank you.
