Better than buying photo editing software
In the past, photo editing software cost $100+. Snapseed gives you nearly all those professional features completely free, on your phone. Edit photos in 5 minutes, share via text or social media. The Healing tool alone (remove objects from photos) is mind-blowing. Many seniors say it's one of the most useful free apps they've discovered.
