    Got Snapseed free over Christmas with Apples “twelve days of Christmas” freebies, thanks very much to Apple.

    I’ve got lots of photo editing programmes from expensive to free but this one is quickly becoming a big favourite, it’s easy to use and the results are fantastic, would suggest anyone who takes photos has a try I think it would take your pics to a new level.

    now waiting for the Windows version!
