All good suggestions so far. I prefer Lightroom for bulk editing and touching up in Photoshop. But, those programs aren't exactly inexpensive. $10/month forever feels like too much. But, I'm too lazy to learn new software at this point.
There isn't a whole lot that can be done with your sample. Maybe this looks a little better? Not sure...

I used Vivid-Pix for a couple of years- you gotta pay for it. Unless that's changed.
When I started using Dive+ mainly for videos I tried it on a few pictures, and also edited with Vivid-Pix to compare which was better. Dive+ won by a slight margin and since I already use it for videos I did away with Vivid-Pix altogether. Vivid Pix also requires the user to pic one of about a dozen selections that are created by the software. Dive + is literally one click editing, although it's a process to move it to the phone from the computer.
Vivid pix is pretty good. It's got a klunky UI but it works well and is easy to use once you get used to it. It's 50 bucks.

IrfanView is free and works pretty well for me for color correction.
You should share the Shutter, Aperture, and ISO from that photo.
If I had to guess I'd say that photo was taken on the camera's Auto settings resulting in a Wide Open aperture (like f2.8, f4), a slow shutter (1/10th or so) and maybe a high ISO. The photo is too bright and blown out (aperture and iso) and the background is bright green due to the very slow shutter.
You can fix a lot with editing software but if the original capture in the camera way out of balance then it's better to learn from the mistake and try again next time.
