Incredible right?
Prisma is currently the fifth most popular free app on iTunes and has one million daily users. Everyone is turning their Facebook profile picture into artwork using Prisma and is making all other photo filter feel amateurish.
Prisma just doesn't change the hue and vibe of your picture. It truly transforms a photo into a distinct and refreshing piece of art on every click.
Bollywood stars, Hollywood stars, basically all kinds of celebrities are leading the Prisma bandwagon, sending everyone into a tizzy.
The instant success of the app even surprised critics as photo filters are an age-old idea.
The thing is, Prisma isn't just a photo filter. It's a platform which creates art and allows users to feel important, almost as if Monet came down from heaven to paint them their portrait.
That feeling is indescribable, and definitely cannot be recreated by an Instagram filter.
