One thing to note as well is the app has an iOS version that is slightly different. Google supports the app now so the software stays up-to-date. Nik Software originally developed the app before being bought by Google. The tools used here are efficient and do exactly what you ask of them. There is a reason that this app has a strong following among the photography community. Also, compared to professional software like Adobe Photoshop, it does not fall far shorter in features or effective power to manipulate pictures. What is special about Snapseed is that it was the first totally free image editor.
