If you have Photoshop, you need none of these apps, either MacOS or IOS. All of these apps take a little bit from Photoshop and it becomes the focus of the app. Some of them are like a visual toy to play with and it could be relaxing to try out filters and effects.

Yes, I don't intend to subscribe to Adobe apps, so I'm starting to like pixelmator enough to consider getting it.

Get it while you can. It's worth it.
