Adobe Lightroom
Capturing the seventh place on the list is Adobe Lightroom, a powerful photo editor and camera app. Developed by Adobe Systems, the app was launched on October 18, 2017, giving photographers a mobile platform to create stunning images.
Adobe Lightroom stands out with its robust editing tools. It provides a range of professional-level adjustments and effects, including exposure, contrast, color temperature, and gradient filters. The app also offers a built-in camera with pro-level controls. Adobe Lightroom shines in its ability to edit RAW files, something that not many mobile apps offer.
The user interface is clean, intuitive, and well-organized, providing easy access to all tools. The editing controls are displayed in a scrollable menu at the bottom of the screen, while the photos are kept center stage. Users can view 'before' and 'after' images by holding down on the photo during editing, a feature photographers find particularly useful.
Adobe Lightroom holds a 4.6 rating on the Google Play Store. Users have praised the app's advanced editing features, clean interface, and the ability to synchronize edits across devices. Some criticisms include occasional bugs and the need for a subscription to unlock full functionality.
While the app can be downloaded for free, some advanced features require a subscription to Adobe Lightroom Premium, which costs $4.99 per month. This includes features like selective adjustments, a healing tool, cloud storage, and Adobe Sensei-based automatic tagging of photos.
