This is a great app, the effects are a bit boring though.

Cool App, but batch probably will add in paid upgrade.

Aimed, I think, at people who are used to the way iPhone apps work. Nevertheless, there is a fair range of presets included, plus others can be downloaded from the website. And the editing tools allow for lots of variations to be made. Sure, it's not photoshop, but for adding quick and dirty effects to your photos it's pretty good!

The only thing I can think of is missing right now is a brush on mask as an addition to the preset masks.
