Of course, all of the mobile Windows apps are lacking in organization tools when compared with Lightroom or Photoshop Elements, ($99.99 at Office Depot® & OfficeMax®) (Opens in a new window) which offer keyword tagging, ratings, and people and location tools. Photos also lets you build Albums and even creates automatic albums for you, while Polarr offers no such collections. That said, Polarr displays a photo's f-stop, shutter speed, focal length, and ISO along the top, but Photos goes a bit farther, even showing a map for geotagged images. This is a weakness that Polarr shares with Adobe Photoshop Express and the default Windows Photos app, but the last-named at least lets you see more metadata for the photo with a right-click. The app lacks strong organizational features-there's no tagging or even picking and rejecting. The app lets you open files by simply tapping its up-arrow icon, or you can associate photo files with it as the default app. CR2 raw camera files from the fairly recent Canon EOS M10, ($649.00 at Amazon) (Opens in a new window) and it converted the raw files admirably.

For this review, I installed the Pro edition on my touchscreen all-in-one Asus Zen AiO Pro Z240IC ( at Amazon) (Opens in a new window) PC running 64-bit Windows 10 Home. Polarr is a very lightweight 4MB installation-refreshing in this day of gigabyte-plus software. The non-Pro version of Polarr is free and offers most of the editing tools in the paid app, but it limits the number of filters you can use. Polarr Pro is $19.99 in the Windows app store. The Windows version is just about the same, and just as likable, though it still lacks a few basics when it comes to organization and sharing. It's not surprising that the iOS version was picked by Apple as a Best of the Year app in 2015. It's surprisingly powerful, yet beautifully simple. To address those gaps, you could go to the extreme of installing Photoshop or even Lightroom ($9.99/Month at Adobe) (Opens in a new window), but if you don't need that much control and power in your photo-editing software, another good option is the Polarr Windows app. Though I remain a fan of Windows 10's default Photos app, there are several things it can't do.
