App of the Week 14th October 2013

Anyone who uses Instagram as much as I do (not too much, honest) is always on the lookout for new editing apps to make their photo’s look as good as possible before sharing them with the world.  We’ve never featured a photo editing app as app of the week before, and as the weather is…

App of the Week 7th October
