2. VSCO

This fancy app boasts a ton of features, allowing you to not just take and edit photos and videos, but also share them instantly to your social media. We love the stylish film-like presets and a wide range of 15 editing tools, perfect for aspiring photographers to geek out to without forking up a large sum for a DSLR. Sure, loads of apps let you adjust the camera exposure level and colour temperature, but not many offer the ability to add that retro “grain” and choose from different shadows and highlights. If you want even more awesome functions, you can pay more and get VSCO X, a premium version of VSCO.

Download the app now for Apple or Android.
