PicsBeauty: Restore Old Photos
doubtful ratingThe app is praised for its simplicity and good auto-colorization of old shots, and it often makes photos noticeably better. But a common complaint is that instead of sharpness it adds softness and blurs fine detail like fur and texture, so the shot ends up worse than the original. It also cuts resolution, 20 megapixels turn into 3, and there are no hints on where to start.
