One of my favourite photo apps for the iPhone has just received an update that makes it somewhat more useful than it had been before. Photo Editor by Aviary which I first got my hands on in June of this year, is now a universal app and will run as a native app on the iPad as well.

Other improvements to Photo Editor by Aviary -- which, it should be noted, is a free app -- include:

• A new meme tool that allows the user to make Advice Animals
• New sticker pack
• EXIF data now retained
• Drag stickers directly onto photo instead of having to tap and move
• Faster effects

For more information, the developer website is at Team Aviary. As a note, although this is free, I was so pleased with this that I supported the developer by making in-app purchases of extra effects.

I have no connection with Team Aviary other than the use of the app.
