Useful photo printing apps for Android phones

Once in a while, users may want to print out some of the photos saved on their Android phones. Instead of copying the pictures into Micro SD cards and using cables to transfer them to a computer, http://www.pcworld.com indicates that one can print the photos directly from Android phone without using computer.  This is done with a Wi-Fi-enabled printer.

Here are some of the photo printing apps:

Polaroid PoGo

No Wi-Fi needed

Allows you to add custom borders and frames to images

Questionable colour quality on test prints
