Cam++ Love Photo Frames provides a number of attractive frames, but a poorly designed interface and strict trial restrictions makes using them unnecessarily difficult. While the basic features of the app work as advertised, they never overcome the slow load and save times, lack of general options, and repeated pop-ups that detract from the overall experience.

When you open Cam++ Love Photo Frame for the first time, you can take and add a photo to your frames quickly and fairly easily. Tap a frame, choose a photo, and you have a finished product. However, because of the size of these … Read more

Cam++ Baby Photo Frames provides a number of highly-thematic frames that you can use to match with images on your phone or those taken with your camera. The results, however, are not always attractive due to the small view window in most of the frames. With only a limited number of frames to choose from, an oddly restrictive search interface, and slow load and save times, the app can be more frustrating than rewarding to use.

Cam++ Baby Photo Frames is easy to use in your first run. Open it and you can choose a frame, snap a photo, and … Read more

Photo Frame Free helps you create a cool collage. It's fairly easy to use and set up, but the obnoxious ads and played-out menu may be a deal breaker for you. Both are hard to ignore.

This app makes you stare at a plain, gray menu while you're working on your photos. Most of the color borders that you can put around your collages are equally bland. The frames, themselves, offer plenty of different ways to organize your photos, though. Unfortunately, at least half of the app's frames are locked behind a pay wall. Buying the full … Read more

Wedding Photo Frames is a highly specialized photo editing program with basically only two functions. It can add some basic photo retouching effects and can apply a frame around the photo that has a wedding theme. Even though the program is very basic, it functions perfectly and doesn't bother the user with a ton of advertising like most free applications.

The installation and setup for Wedding Photo Frames is very easy. It is a 7MB app, but the size is most likely due to the high quality images of the wedding frames. Over 60 frames are included in the … Read more

Plain old photos can be boring at times, so there are apps like Ace PhotoJus Frame that offer to spice things up a bit, allowing you to add a frame behind the image in one of many different styles and colors. While the app has some clever features and the interface is well designed, it simply doesn't do enough in its free iteration to provide the solution promised in the App Store.

Open PhotoJus and choose a photo (or take one with your camera). Then choose a frame from the bottom of the screen and it will be added … Read more

We've been testing lots of photo editing tools that focus on creating collages. Frame Magic Lite is another contender in a saturated market that is full of duds. But after putting it to the test, we have to say that it is actually one of the better collage makers out there.

Frame Magic Lite opens with your collage template. In each box are directions for how to navigate the app. For example, tapping a specific cell or box lets you add or change a photo. A long press lets you drag and drop photos to swap them out. And … Read more

FX Photo Studio (iPhone | iPad) lets you edit images on your iPhone, add multiple effects, then add stylized text for a unique look. The app includes all the basic image-editing controls such as brightness, contrast, and color balance, along with cropping and rotation tools.

But where FX Photo Studio shines is in the amount you can do with your photos by selecting from an enormous number of effects. As of this writing, FX Photo Studio includes 190 high-quality effects you can add to your images. You can also combine effects for virtually limitless combinations. But while the app features a … Read more

Instant Photo Frames is yet another half-baked photo filtering app trying desperately to cash in on the Instagram hype. Instead of giving you cool photos you'll want to share on Facebook and Twitter, Instant Photo Frames gives you nothing but ads... so many ads that it's hard to actually see what this app does, since you'll have to jump through at least three ads before you get to it.

When you first load the app, it sends you to the Play Store page for a random gaming app -- not the app, itself. It also starts sending … Read more

With hundreds of photo-editing and collage-making apps on Android, a paid one has to be truly great to make it worth the download. With fewer framing and filtering options and more glitches than with most free apps, Framing doesn't make a very compelling case to ante up.

The app offers fewer than 40 layouts for you to make your collage. While that's more than you might need, it's not nearly as many as other apps offer. The layout is incredibly uninspired for a photo app, too. Putting pictures into your frame of choice requires tapping through multiple … Read more
