Re: Basic photo editor on Android (circles, arrows, captions)

If I search for 'draw shapes and lines on photos' in the Play Store, I see
several apps that seem to do exactly what you're looking for, such as
iMarkup and 'Annotium - Photo Annotation'.
 
However, personally I consider a smartphone too small for such edits, so
I prefer to use Gimp on my PC for this.

Thank you for the suggestion of iMarkup & Annotium, which are located here:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.winterso.markup.annotable
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.ngockhanh.annotium

Unlike the dozen potential editors I listed earlier, both contains ads,
so I will try them both only if none of the dozen listed earlier work out.

Fruitfully, when I looked up "iMarkup" a few other possibilities arose:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=uk.co.kewinlawsonsmith.markup
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=air.com.befunky.BeFunkyPhotoEditor
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hde7.fotogenic
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.on1.onmobile
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.iaan.pencilcamera

All of which showed up, I think, because of the "markup" keyword used.
All are free. None should have any advertisements.

Unfortunately, that makes for 18 free apps without advertisements to test
given that these dozen were already found using "sketching" keywords.

That there are so many free photo editing apps without advertisements is
good, but it will be a while before I can tell if they do the three things
 (1) Circle the deer in the photo
 (2) Point to that circled deer in the photo
 (3) Describe something about that deer in the photo

Here is an example photo I borrowed to show the type of notations I seek.

Using that photo as an example, these are the type of edits that I seek.
