Photo Studio Photo Editor APK: questions and answers
Does Photo Studio Photo Editor need Google Play services?
Not strictly. The APK lists Google Play services as optional, so some features may be missing on phones without them.
Can I install this APK over the version I already have?
Probably not if you installed Photo Studio Photo Editor from Google Play: this file is signed with a different certificate, and Android normally refuses such an update. You would have to uninstall your copy first, which deletes its data unless it is backed up.
Is the Photo Studio Photo Editor APK safe?
No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Unknown. It is signed with Android's public test key, which anyone can use. It is signed with a different certificate than the Google Play version. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is 4a405f3590c477d8a8590c7c0f9a3021.
