The 25 best photo and video apps to download now


This retro video app is so good it was used by Malik Bendjelloul in his

Academy Award-winning film Searching for Sugar Man. The improved cameras in

the iPhone 4S and new iPad have helped to spawn some great video

applications, and this is one of the best. Think of it as the Instagram of

video, applying retro filters and added style. Excellent value for money.



Adobe Photoshop Express


Free; iPad, iPhone and Android



Photoshop on the mobile and tablet just keeps getting better. Now with in-app

purchases and even more effects and tweaks, this is a formidable

photo-editing app. The base application is free and comes with plenty of

features for the budding photographer.



iPhoto


£2.99; iPad and iPhone



Apple, unsurprisingly, knows how to do it best when it comes to its own

products, and iPhoto for iOS is still the best way to manage snaps on your

iPhone or iPad. With a clean and easy-to-understand user interface, plenty

of photo-editing options and a great album-management system, no Apple

device is complete without it. The app also has some great sharing

capabilities and iCloud support.

£0.69 iPad and iPhone; £0.63 Android

solves the problem by doing it for you, letting you combine multiple

pictures into one image.

difference is that Touchnote turns your snap into a real postcard and sends

it to family and friends.
