My frustration for a decade is that I don't know any handy image editing tools on smartphone for simple editing like trim, resize, paint, add text, rectangle filling/blur. There are many photo editing tools for who love Instagram, but it's not what I want. I have both Android and iOS but still I don't know. Anyone could recommend? I love paint.net on Windows.

Does Snapseed fit the bill?

Snapseed is closest to what I want AFAIK but lacks some feature like painting

Pocket Paint (https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.catrobat.paintroid/) is okay though a janky UI, Simple Gallery (https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.simplemobiletools.galler...) has an editor but it can't crop and draw in one go, I haven't tried Simple Draw (https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.simplemobiletools.draw.p...).

I tried Pocket Paint and looks better, thanks. I like "janky" UI for such application.

Note that I've seen it halve the resolution of large images imported, but I don't know if it always does that or never (and I was mistaken), and I couldn't find a switch to turn off downsizing.
