"Simple, but not too detailed"

What do you like best about Acorn? It has standard editing tools you can basically see in a smartphone. What do you dislike about Acorn? The tools are very limited, and work is limited to certain features - for more detailed editing, I would recommend Adobe Photoshop. What problems is Acorn solving and how is that benefiting you? You can edit in a mass, simply select several photos and customize the editing you would like to make.

"Good app and really easy but it miss some options"

What do you like best about Acorn? We bought it because it was a cheap Image editor app and it's really easy to use. Before we had the 2 weeks free try and it made a big difference so we bought it.
