One of the best feature of iPhones is the amazingly great camera. People use it to take a bunch of photos everyday and share with their family and friends. Inevitably, they will use photo editing apps to brighten up great shots or heal some bad ones. There are tons of choices, both free and paid, available on the App Store which is really overwhelming for users to pick from.
I personally use photo apps a lot and I have over 20 of them installed on my iPhone 6. There are 3 superior new photo apps that I downloaded in March that are definitely value for money and you should check it out now.
Enlight [iPhone, 50% off launch sale at $3.99]
Enlight is a very powerful and beautifully designed all-in-one photo editing app for iPhone. The app offers comprehensive functionalities that you can create stunning photos with it.

PICSPLAY 2 – Photo Editor & Selfie Retouch [iOS Universal, Free with IAP]
PICSPLAY 2 is a revamped version of PICSPLAY Pro which has become the ultimate photo editor for professional iPhoneographers. I can say PICSPLAY 2 is the most comprehensive photo-editing app I have seen so far beside Photoshop PS Touch.
It is a mind-blowing sophisticated photo-editing app with 200 filters in 10 photo effect themes, along with a number of overlays of textures, light leaks and vignettes, as well as 100+ fonts, 500 stickers and borders, etc.

Another flagship features is face reshape, skin smoothing and details enhancement that you can make selfies looks best. And in addition to basic and professional editing tools, the app also has a live filter camera that allows you to apply real-time filters, control focus and exposure, anti-shake, timer, and many more.
To unlock the Pro features via IAP, normally you have to pay for $9.99 but now you can get it at half price at $4.99 only. The deal is going to end in 3 hours by the time this post is released. Grab it as soon as possible!
Here is the official showcase video of how powerful PICSPLAY 2 can be:
Filters for iPhone [$0.99]
Filter for iPhone is a new photo-editing app that features a truckload of filters and overlays. It has over 500 fully adjustable filters across five categories: Vintage, Monochromatic, Dramatic, Cool and Warm, and over 300 hand-painted, incredible textured overlays, colored gel overlays and light leak effects. All these features are included with nothing extra to purchase. With a price tag of less than a dollar, this app is definitely a steal.
