Beware the 6 photoEdit's

I don't normally make announcements like this, although I think it may become more common, but there is a new photo app developer in town who seems to be after our money rather than delivering us quality apps.
The developer in question is Xiao Qin, and the apps are:
- photoHueEdit
- photoBrightnessEdit
- photoAlphaEdit
- photoContrastEdit
- photoSharpnessEdit
- photoSaturationEdit
All of the above apps are for sale in the AppStore priced at £0.59/$0.99 per app, so the entire suite would cost you £3.64/$5.94, which I think is far too much, however it's not just the price that's an issue for me, but the poor output size of just 320 x 480.
Even if these apps produced the best photo edits ever, there is absolutely no excuse for the poor output size, and so I recommend you avoid these apps and spend your money more wisely.

I spotted these apps this morning... not even 'proper' icons for them. I wonder why apple approve apps like these (when others seem to have to jump through hoops of fire to get theirs listed).

No one should need more than 480x320, I remember when phones were about 3 lbs and had rotary dials, just be happy with what you get.
It looks like from his app description (of photoAlphaEdit, anyway), to "save" your images after making adjustments is pressing the the power button then the home button.... It's simply taking a screenshot.

Marty, you're absolutely right, I don't know how I missed that when I read the app descriptions. This make these apps a complete joke, and the developers should be ashamed of themselves.
@Edison Carter. I couldn't disagree with you more, after all the iPhone is not just any old camera phone.
That's exactly right Glyn. Not sure what Edison is talking about.
Neither Greg or Glyn has any sense of humor. Maybe there's an app for that?
