Autodesk’s Pixlr-o-matic now on Android
Pixlr-o-matic is another one of those hipster photo effect apps, designed to make your sharp, multi-megapixel images look like they were taken with a leaky Kodak in 1981, or, as Autodesk describes it, give them that “retro grunge look”… Read the rest
Lode Runner X launching exclusively for Xperia PLAY
