Fossify Camera★★★☆☆Basic camera app with support for flash, timer and video, optional EXIF. Lacks advanced processing like night sight. Images are slightly noisier than Google’s camera.
Image Toolbox★★★★☆An extremely powerful image editor for Android. And not just the usual features like crop, adjust contrast or brightness, maybe apply a filter, but you can do batch edits, format conversion, scaling the actual pixel image, editing metadata…all the things that mobile apps tend to hide behind the curtain. And it can preserve EXIF data when you want it to.
Instagram★★☆☆☆Like checking out your friends’ vacation photos, but every other photo is an ad, and half of your friends’ pics are full of product placement.
Mobile Apps and Preserving Photo MetadataYou’d think that ‘don’t change the stuff that the user isn’t changing’ would be a low bar, but most image editors I’ve used on Android tend to mess up the EXIF metadata one way or another.
PixelDroid★★★★★Optimized for photo sharing and viewing, works smoothly and integrates well with the system. FOSS, won’t vacuum up your personal data.
Samsung Galaxy S4 (Phone)★★★★★Much as I like newer phones, there are a few things that I really miss about the S4, especially the ergonomics.
Under the Influence★★★★☆
