What's a good Android app for making subtle photo edits that still feel true to the original moment, rather than overly processed?

I've found Snapseed to be quite lovely. It offers a thoughtful approach to enhancing photos without feeling artificial, and it doesn't sell your data to Facebook, which I appreciate.

I appreciate Snapseed because it allows for mindful adjustments. It's not about creating something entirely new, but rather gently enhancing the existing beauty. The selective adjustment tools are perfect for subtly brightening a specific area or tweaking the contrast without affecting the entire image. I also find it helpful that it encourages healthy usage patterns; I can achieve the desired effect relatively quickly, which prevents me from getting lost in endless editing. It respects boundaries, both mine and the image's. The interface is also thoughtfully designed, making it easy to navigate and understand the various editing options. It's perfect for those moments when I want to capture and enhance a memory without sacrificing authenticity. Plus, knowing that Google LLC developed it gives me a sense of security regarding data privacy, which is always a plus.
