Why don’t we put all the features in a single app?
We believe extra features will only confuse users, make the app difficult to use. For example, star ratings, pick / reject flags, and a Preview showing multiple photos side-by-side are very useful for a photographer selecting the best photos in a shoot. However, these will only distract someone preparing 100 images for a website. On the other hand, a Preview showing all the export sizes is very useful in the latter case.
Features useful for both cases are present in both apps. The users are offered to choose what suits their needs better.
