Picplz [2] , a very similar creature offers tagging, locations and integration with Twitter and Facebook. Picplz was seen as the weapon of choice for Android users who were not able to use Instagram until recently. It has 15 editing tools and the usual filters for retro and artistic looks.

Vignette [3] is another filtering photo app that many Android users turned to. Known for updating frequently but providing a lot of adjustable options.  The paid version naturally offers more choices.

Pixlr-o-matic [4] by Autodesk, brings heavy weight design to a light sharing application. Naturally given it’s origin, the granularity of filter options is extraordinary. According to the app description on Google Play there’s “2,000,000 possible finishes to make your photos look spectacular”.

Hipstamatic [5] is so close to Instagram that they share a network. So when you take a photo on Hipstamatic, you can choose to push it to Instagram. The new deal with Facebook makes this sibling relationship a lot more interesting.

Molome [8] is another alternative for Android users, it was originally only available for the Symbian platform at Nokia’s Ovi Store [9] , with its developers seemingly going against the grain of their peers. Now, however, it has been launched on Android [10] too.

Lightbox [11] is free on Android and does the things you would expect, filtering, framing and is social. Users can share on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Flickr, and Foursquare as well as using a Lightbox account to look at their images on the Web.
