User Rating:With so many photo-filter editing apps out on the app store, it’s hard to understand why you would need another. It’s also hard to pick one suited for your needs. However, after a while you realize that most photo applications come with standardized filters that hardly differ from one another. Of course, you could settle for the default Instagram filters, those are not too shabby, but if you want something you can customize to create an original effect that truly embodies how you feel then you will have to look for something more specialized.
This is where Wood Camera comes in.
For starters, Wood Camera has tons of exciting hues to choose from. These filters add a soft touch to your images without making them seem artificial or forced upon. With so many different filters to choose from, users will find themselves fussing over which one they like the most rather than which one barely makes the cut.
And after selecting the filter they like, Wood Camera allows users to tweak the texture intensity and even the tilt-shift radius of the photo. This allows for an almost limitless amount of filter combinations users can chain, which means you can definitely inject new life to an otherwise dull looking photo.
Integration with social networks also means you can easily share your photos with your loved ones without going through much hassle.
At $0.99, Wood Camera is reasonably priced for the features it offers. Definitely gets my thumbs up.
