Adobe Photoshop Express allows for easy on-the-go editing on your mobile device.
You can upload photos straight from your device, Google Photos or Dropbox and then share them instantaneously on social media.
Prisma
Ever wanted to turn your photos into paintings or drawings? Prisma allows you to do exactly that, with a very wide range of filter options.
You could turn a cityscape into a Mondrian painting, or make your snap of the countryside look like the work of an early Impressionist.
You'll need an Internet connection to make the powerful filters work over your photos, but the results can be stunning.

Manual is the perfect app for amateur photographers who are keen to experiment with more advanced photography techniques.
It gives users “full control” over their image, allowing them to manually switch between settings to find the perfect exposure instead of relying on an automatic setting.
“If you're a photographer tired of trying to tap your way to the exposure you want, then this is the app for you,” its creators say.
It gives you full independent control of the shutter speed, ISO, white balance, focus and exposure compensation.
