Any good recommendations for an Android app to convert photos to black and white or further refine a black and white photo?

I've been increasingly shooting B&W directly by setting a "manual" type app (currently Hedgecam2) to monochrome and using a multi-shot HDR mode for JPEG output, while also rendering a companion color DNG file, if wanted. I've personally found the dedicated B&W shooters like BlackCam Pro give less control, though they have a lot of live filter presets.

For editing, you might know that free Snapseed has some B&W presets along with a lot of general editing functionality. I also bought Dramatic Black & White as the closest thing I've found to the Nik Silver Efex or monchrome LUTs I like to use on PC. I got some good results using Dramatic on color GCam JPEGs (HDR+)

(I've tried the trial Hypocam, and the old Lenka, but can't get with them, would certainly be interested in other suggestions here.)
