Re: 5 best Android apps for photographers article
Have to say most of the "manual" style apps are functionally similar but with wildly different GUIs, so a matter of personal taste and increasingly problematic model compatibility - many third party devs have been stymied by the growing mess of lens and sensor configurations and haven't updated them in a long time. Many have surprising problems accessing microSD cards. Tend to stick with a couple of familiar and ready-to-hand apps rather than constantly changing and fumbling with new ones.
On a new phone, along with a reasonably capable stock app, I carried over familiar Camera FV-5 for nice manual-style GUI and lossless PNG along with DNG. New to me is a very good GCam port - the HDR+ algorithm is very hard to beat in many ordinary P&S and low light situations. I recommend the GCam Tool (AppTuners) for real time or batch transfers to microSD, which the GCam doesn't do. I bought Photo Mate R3 for DNG when Snapseed wouldn't render them on my old phone, and use both casually now. Also liking the quick preset b/w filters on an app called Dramatic Black and White (JixiPix), though Snapseed can do similar.
