Ratings and reviews

Thrilled they overhauled the app to make it harder to use. Luckily it now looks like Instagram? I guess? And the adjustments menus now take up tons of space and there are animations that play when you perform some actions, because that is really what I, an adult, am looking for when I want to edit an image. I don't want to see the image I am trying to edit. I want to see the stupid menu and freaking cartoon animations overtop it. I really liked this app. It was straightforward, easy to use. 🪦

Have loved this app for a long time, but the last two updates have made it extremely unstable. It keeps crashing and now it is not saving edits. It's very odd, after saving the photo the edits will show in the app but not in my gallery....when opening the most recent edited pic from the gallery, the edits don't show in the saved pic but show when opened in the app. Hopefully this gets worked out soon

I temporarily lost access to my Google account, and when it was restored all my Snapseed photos were gone. Many, many edited photos later, the new version of the app was put out, and it just requires users to relearn the whole process, a time-consuming effort which so far as I can see does not involve any new functionalities of significance. I much appreciate the editing capabilities, but much prefer the old version of the app.
