Is there a better alternative?
Understandably, Adobe would not add all of its innovative features from Adobe Photoshop to Express. That is where PicsArt comes in. PicsArt - Photo Studio is a stand-out program amongst other editing apps because of the sheer number of tools, filters, and features it has. It's simple enough for a novice, but sleek enough for even the most experienced editor. It is a worthy alternative to Express since you can let your creative juices flow when it comes to editing your most valuable memories. And yes, you can upload your work straight from the app. But, Adobe wins when it comes to interface. Its minimalist space grey and blue finish gives it a sophisticated vibe despite its simple features. Best of all, no ads to get in the way. It's just you, your photo, and the editor.
