The selling point to Handy Photo is its interface, which uses the corners of the screen to cater for rotating menu options. It’s all designed to keep the central area of the screen clear, allowing you to use swipe gestures to tone your effects up or down, much like Luminance. The editing options for the large part work well, although the orange and blue menu palette didn’t convince us. Where Handy Photo really excels, though, is the depth of its effects.
REVIEW: Handy Photo for iPhone and iPad
Despite the lack of Adobe polish, Handy Photo is a seriously good photo editor, and it won't break the bank either.
