Nice list of apps. I'm really glad you mentioned Rhonna Designs, it's one of the most entertaining typography apps.

As an iPhone photo editor, I also use and recommend PhotoMarks.

It’s an app that allows you to add customizable text and logo marks to your photos, really useful for content protection and branding on social media.
