I used to have a lot of respect for Buffer until this post. I can pick a handful of apps off the top of my head that you listed and not once was it mentioned why they are free. VSCO = subscription, plus if you bought and paid for all of the filters before they changed, say goodbye to the money, you paid to own. Canva. In order to get any real use from that you‘ll pay for every little dumb thing. Adobe Spark. Not much use without an Adobe cloud subscription. Over = subscription to serve any purpose. Even the new Enlight app is giving the subscription screw. Sometimes, rarely, there are apps worth a subscription, like if you plan on using them all the time. (Obviously if you use many of the Adobe programs you would be putting some serious cash down on Adobe Cloud space)
I subscribe to Assembly because It‘s awesome, the amount of things you do get and I use it often enough to justify it. However, I do not try and sell my friends or business associates on it, by pretending it is free with zero strings attached.
I have many great ideas for photo editing and many photo editing apps but if you want the one awesome deal for Phone and iPad it‘s called Pixelmator. Last time I checked it was $4.99, Universal and if one plops down another $30, one can have the supreme version on the Mac. And as for a great Camera, Video and editing app, ProCam is better than Camera + and the developer updates it constantly; it is also, Universal, on IOS.
