How to choose
How we test

The very best video editing apps allow you to edit on your phone or tablet, perfect for when you're on the go and don't have access to a computer. In almost all cases, they provide simpler editing capabilities than desktop software due to the smaller screen size and lower specs of mobile devices, but it can be surprising just how much you can do with some of these apps, and they can be a handy part of an editing workflow even for pros.
