These days, everything is so fast paced that everyone is almost always on the go. Because of this, people always have this need to have everything at their fingertips. And what better way to have everything you need with you at all times than to have it all in one gadget (i.e. an android smartphone).
With this in mind, application developers all over the world come up with various tools that can help people—professionals and hobbyists alike—create designs or edit images while they are on the go. But if you are only starting, you might find yourself overwhelmed with all the options you can find on the Google Play Store.
To help you choose the best one for you, we narrowed your choices down to eight. Read the list below to know more about each of these apps and, hopefully, choose one that will best suit your needs.
Adobe Photoshop Sketch
Using Adobe Photoshop Sketch is much like carrying around a huge sketchpad and a bag full of pencils, markers, and coloring materials—only better. Using the tip of your fingers, you can create new images, enhance old ones, and even share your creations on Behance.
Draw, blend, color, and pretty much do whatever you want while you’re on the move with the Adobe Photoshop Sketch!
This app is a must for those who want to start a career as a social media influencer. Using Adobe Photoshop Express allows the user to polish their photographs immediately after taking them. Have quick fix tools ready whenever you need them, and choose from various themes and effects that can make your work stand out.
First time user? Well, worry not because the app comes with a built-in tutorial that can show you how other people achieved your desired output.
Aside from allowing users to edit their photos while on the go, Canva also allows them to design almost anything under the sun. Create unique artworks you can share by choosing from a wide array of photos, fonts, templates, etc.
New to Canva for Android but a longtime Canva user? Worry not because Canva for Android’s interface is quite similar to the one you use on your computer. And if you have yet to use any Canva applications, then do not fret because Canva’s drag and drop tool can turn any first-time user into a pro in no time!
