I've had Photo on the desktop for quite a while, but don't think I've
ever used it! I bought the iOS version a few months ago, but didn't
really click with it. Ended up with RawPower which I really like (this
on an iPad for very casual editing!)

It was indeed I who drew it to the group's attention, and I'm still happy
with it, despite its quirks.

basic, and in fact the filters it seems to have dropped into Apple's Photos
look to be pretty comprehensive.
Still, it's there come the day I do any serious editing.

said, I'd been mostly happy with Snapseed up till now (with the
occasional other app).

seems to have started being unstable, and the dev has no idea why either.
I was using Pixelmator Photo too, but as it saves huge sidecar files for
non-destructive editing, it's not practical for the bulk of my images.
I bought Affinity Photo for both Desktop and iPad, but as it doesn't
integrate at all well on the iPad (no extension capability at all), I
hardly ever use it.
For now I've reverted to using just Photos on my iPad for basic photo
adjustments, and actually it's doing a fine job.
