Lightbox photos: with lightbox one has the choice to make individual photo private or public, unlike instagram. Also one can link their facebook and twitter accounts to see photos from friends without having a lightbox account. This has been reportedly been acquired by Facebook too, so in a lot of regions pulled away from the Play Store. In the ones remaining, you should download it.
