At first glance, the photo editing app "Aviary” looks quite ordinary. It offers the usual choice of filters, frames, stickers and transformation tools. What makes Aviary special is that it is part of the Adobe family and offers an upload of your final creations into the Adobe Creative Cloud. Another special feature is the “Discover” section of the app. Here, a curated stream of photos made can be viewed in their step-by-step editing process. From the original photo to the final edit, all the decisions made while editing are revealed.

- Sticker selection not very imaginative
