We are seeing the first effects of Google buying Nik Software the makers of the fine photo editing suite and my #1 most recommended mobile editing app Snapseed. Today the app goes FREE for what appears to be a permanent change. This is big for an app that use to sell for $4.99 and was worth every penny! In addition the app now has built in Google+ sharing – something I find incredibly cool because Google+ is my social network of choice due to its amazing usefulness to photographers.

Here’s the full list of updates added to the app in the new Snapseed 1.5:

• Now free!
• New icon
• Built-in Google+ sharing
• New film style filters
• New frames

Now you really have no excuse to not get Snapseed. Go, get it!
