I use photo editing apps on my iPad quite a lot for my blog posts and thought I would review two of my favorites.
I mainly use PicLab HD and Aviary to edit my pictures.
I favor PicLab over my other editing apps because it has many different fonts and colors for your text, it has awesome stickers, and pretty filters.
I really like their "Artwork" (stickers) They have arrows (as well as archery arrows), hearts, curly Q's, banners and ribbons, and more. My favorite pack is the Hand Sketched Designers Kit. It has a lot of curly Q's, leaves, bursts and other interesting things you could put under your text or on the corners of your photo.
The filters are very pretty, two of my favorites are Vegas and Nevada.
The only thing I wish it had was the option to blur parts of your photo, where as Aviary doesn't have as much fonts and colors for your text it does have the ability to slide your finger where you want the blurred part to be.
I would definitely recommend getting PicLab HD, it's easy to use and I love the outcome of my photos when I am done editing.
PicLab's Features:
Text, Artwork (cool stickers such as: banners, hand drawn looking decal stickers, autumn stickers, laurels and wreaths, happy birthday stickers, shapes, and others! Note that some are available for in-app purchases), add in more photos, Moods (a different set of filters that the actual "filter" file doesn't have.), More filters, effects (brightness, contrast, blur, exposure, and saturation), frames, crop, and orientation.
You can also share your edited photo to Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Messages, and other apps through the PicLab HD app.
On a scale of 1 to 5, 1 being the easiest to maneuver, I think this app is pretty easy once you get used to where everything is, I give it a 2!
Aviary is my second favorite editing app, it is probably one of the easiest ones that I use in my possession.
It has some pretty good filters, they have some really pretty ones but you have to buy them.
One of my two favorite features of this app is its blurring and focus adjustment. It's really easy to swipe your finger wherever you want it to be blurred. The focus adjustment is super easy it also comes in a circle shape as well as a rectangle.
Another feature it has is the meme feature. I have never used it but I see a lot of photos with memes on them.
They have 10 fonts you can choose from, as well as 22 colors.
It has some nice stickers too, some of them are cartoony and some not so much. I like the Postmark sticker pack the most. It has a vintage look.
It also has a ton of frames you can add in.
I would recommend getting this app if you would like a less complex editor.
Aviary's Features
Enhance, effects, frames, stickers (some are available for in-app purchases), orientation, focus, crop, adjust, sharpness, splash (splash is when they turn the photo to B&W and wherever your finger swipes is where it returns the color to the photo.), draw, text, red eye reduction, lighten, blur, blemish, and meme.
You can also share your edited photo to Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Messages, Email, and other apps through the Aviary app.
On a scale of 1 to 5, 1 being the easiest to maneuver. It doesn't take long to figure out how everything works, I give it a 1!
Thank you for reading this app review!
Until next time!
