i. Phonto | Free

Phonto is the best font app out there, for me. You aren't limited to the fonts they offer you, but you can also go to places like dafont.com and download fonts you like there. I'll include some tutorials on how to use Phonto later on, too!
ii. Deviantart | Free

Deviantart is my favorite and pretty much only place I go to snag my resources. The experience is only great, however, if you have an account. And it's perfectly easy to sign up. I actually post the resources I make on Deviantart, as you can post zip files & pdfs and other things there.
iii. ES File Explorer | Free

You'll need a file manager to extract resources from zip files. If you're an android or samsung, you already have a built-in file manager. However, (as I have an android) if you want to zip/compress things, you'll have to get this app. If you only want to extract stuff, then you don't need this. iOS users, you'll have to download a file manager, unfortunately! I recommend ES file explorer. An app like this can also help make more room in your storage.
iv. Photoshop Express | Free

no, this isn't Photoshop. Photoshop Express is a free, retouch/filter app, which is really, really handy! The filters are stunning, and it makes your graphic seem like it has great quality. It's one of the best retouch apps out there, surpassing (in my opinion) apps like Aviary, Pixlr Express, and some others. however, like Deviantart, you have to get an adobe account (if you don't have one already!) to get the full experience. I will also have some tuts on how to use PS Express!
v. Weheartit | free

Weheartit is one of my favorite apps. It's a share-and-view photo website & app where you can look at gorgeous photos, save them, and sort them into collections. Not only is it addicting to use and contains amazingly stunning content, but it also has beautiful content that can be used for simple book covers. Key word; simple. If you want to make a book book cover with only a picture with words on it, (these can still look amazing) then you go to Weheartit to look for it. However, weheartit does shelter amazing stocks, so if you're making a manip and are in need of stocks, weheartit is a great place to go to. And just like PS Express & Deviantart, you'll get the full experience out of getting an account. It's like tumblr, if you don't have an account, you can't see all of it.
vi. E X T R A S the ones up there, along with picsart, are the must-haves (for me, anyways) and are all compatible on android, samsung, iOS, whatever you use. However, some apps that are exclusive to iOS users that I would recommend- (but won't be giving any tutorials and/or instruction on)
'.一 a. Superimpose ( to cut out pngs & assemble stuff '.一 b. Polarr ( amazing filters ! '.一 c. LINE camera (android compatible but not a must-have for me) ( pens, drawing tools, amazing filters & a great beauty camera '.一 d. Canva ( similar to picsart, makes great vectors! '.一 e. VSCO (android compatible but not a must-have for me) ( a great filter app, however, it's not my type.
If you have any questions, don't be afraid to ask! Or if you have any more suggested apps that I may or may not have forgot, don't be shy.
