All photo editing apps have pros and cons.

Getting familiar with features of each app is worth the trouble, time and energy.

You can download as many apps as you wish.

It is best to stick to a few apps which can do your work for you.

Some functions are not so good. Some functions are superb. Some apps are average.

The outcome of edited photos may differ slightly or greatly from the original.

Some photo owners will complain that their father looked different after photo editing. They don't sound happy. This is what AI does to photos. 

Some photos will not change much after editing. This is fine and good. 

Some apps can help remove objects from photos.

Some apps can blur disjointed portions of photos.

Some apps can enhance and colour photos.

Some apps can change eye colour, eyebrow and facial tone.
