Prisma app review: Transforms your photos into work of art

Prisma

, the hottest app of the season, has finally arrived on Android. Prisma, which landed on Google Play Store earlier this week, has already gained a lot of popularity around the world. Users are modifying their pictures with the app’s artistic filters and sharing them on social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram.

If you are the kind of person who likes sharing a lot of pictures on social media, Prisma is definitely something you’d love. We took the popular app for a spin, and here are our observations.

Prisma is pretty simple to use. For those who are used to photo editing and sharing apps, getting started with Prisma shouldn’t be a problem at all.

Once the app is launched, users can either click a picture with their phone’s camera, or select an existing picture saved on the smartphone. The picture is then cropped with a 1:1 aspect ratio, and users can apply one of Prisma’s many artistic filters to the image.


There’s one thing though. Applying a filter on images takes a lot of time, which might be an issue for some users. But the results are totally worth the wait.

In our testing, Prisma worked just like any other photo editing app. Its artistic filters make it stand out from a crowd of similar photo editing apps, and are unlike anything we’ve seen before.

Currently, Prisma offers around 20 art filters to choose from including The Scream by Edvard Munch and Go for Baroque by Roy Lichtenstein. However, reports suggest that more filters will be added to the app soon, giving users more choice.

Also, we found the direct social sharing button to be another plus. Usually, image editing apps require the modified pictures to be saved to the device before they can be shared. This is where Prisma has an advantage, as it lets users share photos on Instagram the moment they are done editing.

To sum things up, we quite like the

Prisma app

. It’s simple and intuitive, and truly transforms common pictures into works of art. And even though applying filters takes its time, it’s worth it. Try Prisma out yourself, and let us know your thoughts in the comments.
