    Apps to edit photos

    Hey all, just wondering if anyone actually uses apps to edit their photos if taken on a smartphone, or whether it's best to use a simple editor like on Instagram, as that's where the photos usally end up. Many of these seem to have the same functions as on IG, but perhaps someone knows something...

    What are you reading at the moment?

    I'm nearly finished with A Conjuring of Light by V. E. Schwab. Last in a trilogy, and one of the best fantasy series around. Really gives the characters depth and the action scenes are fascinating. It always keeps you on the edge of your seat. A solid and satisfying ending to the 3 books.
