Social media has become a major part of our lives these days and if you are active on social platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat you want to make your posts look good and for that, you need good pictures and videos. You can get good images by making use of DSLR’s and good phones but still, you might find something missing.
And this is where editing apps and software’s play their part! So here are 5 best apps which we find works well for us!

Longtime 60-year-old granddad blogger about to have my 2nd grandchild. Ran across this post with a lot of the mommy blogs and I am so impressed. Such a clean style, great pics, and fun layout. A lot of us old school bloggers need to learn a lesson or two from you ladies. Way to go.
