Aviary launches photo editing application on iOS, turns Android plugin into an app

[![Aviary launches photo editing application on iOS, turns Android plugin into an app][1] ][2]

Last we heard, Aviary [was being chosen to replace][3] the deceased Picnik as the main photo editor on Flickr, and now the startup is getting ready to launch its first iOS app and give its previous Android offering a major boost. The [Jeff Bezos][4]-backed company has just announced its entry into the application game, giving iOS and Android folks access to an array of its image editing tools -- much like [Apple's iPhoto][5] on Cupertino devices or Photoshop Express on ones powered by Google's OS. Naturally, you'll be able to do run-of-the-mill tidbits such as cropping, rotating, sharpening and blurring, which are bundled alongside others like cosmetic tools, one-tap auto enhance and "gorgeous effects." It's also worth noting Aviary was once present on [Google Play][6] as a plugin, but has now made the change to a full-on, feature-packed application. Those interested in taking the fresh app for a spin can hit either of the source links below, where a mighty free download awaits you.
