I installed Mixel for its collage capabilities but I was turned off by its social network aspect. Sadly, I've noticed that it's the case for a lot of apps in this space (e.g. Instagram of course, Cinemagram, Viddy, SocialCam, etc.): instead of providing a simple function, they provide it wrapped into a dedicated social network. I see why they do it: some people want a fully integrated experience and it's likely to make the company more valuable if it becomes successful. However I personally like the Camera+ model much more: an app that stands on its own, but that provides an API for other app to use (http://api.camerapl.us/app-api http://api.camerapl.us/app-api). That being said, congratulations to the team there! My personal preferences shall not hinder their success :)
