There are a few options available with a quick search: AirBrush, Bazaart, InShot Photo Editor Pro, LightX, Motionleap, PhotoDirector, Photo Editor, Photo Effects Pro, Photo Lab Picture Editor, PicsArt ,YouCam Perfect ,Pixlr ,TouchRetouch ,Vimage etc

Most phones have a built in editor as well. But honestly if you are getting serious with photo editing you’re better off getting a laptop with a bigger screen. Makes a huge difference editing.

Thanks, I'll probably just go back to Snapseed, unless one of those is a standout for design, privacy, power and simplicity.

I actually really enjoy mobile editing in Lightroom, the only mark it misses now is privacy.

I have LR installed on my laptop, but never use it. Obviously, there are drawbacks. I wouldn't want to draw paths in Photoshop on my phone, but for quick crops and color corrections, I work faster and more efficiently on my phone. I also can do it in my spare moments, rather than sitting down to dedicate an evening to editing.
