Synopsis of the App
Dedicated to making food photography as beautiful and appetizing as possible, Foodie provides more than 26 food-themed filters, focus options and other tools. The app allows users to easily snap and share favorite food shots via social media. Once the novelty wears off, Foodie may not earn its place on users' phones, since many of its features already are offered by more robust camera apps.
