Blend Modes

While exploring how to use Blend Modes, I decided to create a simple app that demonstrated the interactions. This app is handy to have when deciding how you want your UI to look. Simply adjusting simple toggles and sliders shows you the interactions between bland modes, color inverts, compositing group, blur and opacity. Use this to quickly determine how these controls interact to make your UI look the way you want.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Blend Modes at Free against RegEx+'s $1.99. Blend Modes also leads on iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.0). RegEx+'s advantage is update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 29 months) and chart position (#113 vs unranked). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
