Your mobile phone has become more than just a device to keep in touch with friends and family, it’s an extension of your personality! So naturally you want to show off the apps you use most often to your friends and family, right? If you use any of these top 10 best mobile editing apps, they’ll be jealous and will have to download them too!
1) Lightroom Mobile App
Adobe launched its Lightroom mobile app in September 2015 and has improved it steadily since. While it can be used for photo editing, I’ve found that it works best when working with RAW files on my desktop computer via Adobe Creative Cloud. The app is also useful for tethering to a desktop computer. Just don’t rely on Lightroom mobile as your primary image-editing platform—it’s better suited to quick edits on the go.
2) Snapseed App
The Snapseed app is one of my favorite mobile editing apps. This app allows you to make some amazing edits on your photos that are truly amazing! It’s one of my go-to apps when I need to edit a photo in a pinch because it’s easy and quick.
3) VSCO Cam App
VSCO Cam app is considered to be one of best mobile editing apps. It has more than 4 million installs on play store and an average rating of 4.6 out of 5 stars which itself is a testimony to its popularity. The app offers wide range of tools, filters and effects for camera as well as photo editor along with advanced control over white balance, exposure, contrast and highlights. And it supports RAW files from Android KitKat or later phones.
4) Darkroom App
A great example of a mobile editing app is Darkroom, which enables you to edit your photos on an iPhone and makes it easy to add filters, frames, overlays and more. You can customize everything from how warm or cool you want your photos to look to how many items you’d like to add in your final photo.

One of my favorite editing apps is The Creative Kit. This app has a lot of great features, including many effects like brightness, grayscale, vignette and more. It also has editing tools that you can use to crop and straighten your photos as well as adjust their colors. If you want to be able to create cool Instagram-like effects on your photos, then check out The Creative Kit app!

The best editing apps for mobile devices will be able to offer users filters and effects that are both powerful and simple to use.

For professional photo editing, Skylum Luminar takes an if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it approach.
