Typorama by Apperto Ltd
Typorama is a great way to add typography on the fly! The app has a beautiful interface that is welcoming and intuitive to use. Upon opening the app, you can begin with existing Projects, Presets, My Photos, Stock Images, or Colors to get your project under way. Once you have selected your image, you can choose a wide range of aspect ratios, many of which are pre-formatted for your social media posts and banners. Next, choose a style and keep tapping to explore other iterations. From there, you can add color, shadow, gradients, eraser, and 3D rotate. Select background to add other images, overlays, filters, and adjustments to add that finishing touch. And finally, add a watermark to brand your posts. Typorama is a classy universal for the iPhone and iPad.

AppForType by Natalia Klemazova
AppForType is stylish! The app comes with a simple user interface that starts with adding art or photos from your camera roll. The base menu lets you add stickers, photos, and fonts. Stickers classified by Splashes, Paper, Washi Tape, and quotes defined by themes (travel, happy Monday, love, and dream) offer a fun variety of decorative options; additional font and sticker packs can be acquired through in-app purchases. A paint brush lets you add color to each element and a lock icon protects layers. Along the top, you can adjust the aspect ratio, add and/or delete layers. The graphic interface is simple and easy to navigate, thereby getting design out of the way so you can be creative as possible. The last version was updated in December 2018.
