TitleFX is similar to another universal iOS app that I covered last month called Over HD.
Both apps cost $1.99 at the moment and let you add cool-looking titles
to your photos before sharing on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and
elsewhere. The apps are similar to one another, but if there can be only one, I'd go with TitleFX.
For starters, it's easier to use than Over HD and its menu wheel. For another,TitleFX also lets you angle text so that it's on an angle or vertical instead of always horizontal. On the other hand, TitleFX lacks Over HD's cropping feature, which Instagram users will bemoan.

To get started, tap the Photo Library or the Camera button from
TitleFX's home screen to load a photo. You can also paste in a photo
from your clipboard, while tapping on the Recent button will show you
the last 20 photos you added text to.
After loading a photo, double tap the default text telling you to "double tap to edit." Enter your text and choose how to align it. Don't worry too much about your alignment choice here; you can drag the text around on the photo after this step to reposition it.

With your text entered, you then will use the five buttons at the
bottom of the screen to punch it up. At the top are undo and redo
buttons to aid the editing process. From left to right, the five buttons
along the bottom are: font, size and angle, color, effects, background.
There are are 29 font choices by my count, the majority of which are
really cool. After settling on a font, the next button displays two
sliders to adjust the size and angle of your title; you can't simply
pinch to resize the title on the photo. After choosing the font color,
any effects, and a background for your title area or declining any of
these options, tap the share button in the upper-right corner to save
your photo or share it via these methods:

For Instagrammers reading this, TitleFx doesn't offer any cropping to
turn a rectangular shot into a square. The app opens your titled photo
in Instagram, providing the necessary white bars around the rectangle to
maintain its shape. Over HD, to its credit, lets you crop a photo if
you'd like all of your Instagrams to be square.
One other note on the sharing options: the Postcard option comes courtesy of Sincerely.
