This app keeps the Internet nice and clean for your kids, even on their mobile phones and tablets. Net Nanny has particularly powerful Web filtering, and has a cool scheduling feature that creates time slots and limits for Internet use. What is it? An image-editing and photo-social-networking app that includes AI-enhanced art filters. These can transform mobile photos, giving them the appearance of professional artworks. The Good: PicsArt offers just about every image enhancement tool in the book, along with a photo-sharing network used by 80 million people.

The Bad: Having so many options not only can cause confusion and overwhelm amateur users, but it comes with a risk of overmodified, unnatural photos. Apps like Instagram do a good job of preventing this by limiting the options and the extent to which they can affect images, but here there’s layer upon layer of depth that can distort photos beyond recognition. apps Verdict: Probably the best image-editing app on the market.

Calls are low-latency and compatible with the companion app on Android. Unfortunately, some design and usability issues keep it from truly shining, such as connectivity aspects and a refusal to accept insecure calls.
