For me the main thing missing in Snapseed is masking. The local selection tool is just too basic.

I enlarge the area where I need to use the selection tool so that my finger doesn't spread the selection too much.

I also can use a generic stylus like this one so my finger doesn't choose too much area.

Sure, I do the same.  However, unless I am not finding a feature, I can only select circular areas.  Although Google does indicate it uses some background process to limit the selection to "similar areas", not really circles, whatever that means. So selecting the sky separate from everything else is not something you can actually control.  The selection tool is not paintable like masks in most other programs.
