Ratings and reviews

So this is developed by Google, but somehow, despite the fact that the new Android media picker is also developed by Google, no one has bothered to enable the "Browse..." option in the media picker. Since the media picker is designed poorly, it can only see a few select albums, which means I'm stuck scrolling down endlessly to find the images I want. According to the design docs for the media picker, the app developer must manually enable this option. Please enable it.

I like this app a lot but I can't access my photos from my android phone gallery on it. I have troubleshooted completely. There is no way to contact anyone about this either. If the developer sees this- please update how photos are pulled in your app. I would think the basic photo storage app included with every phone would be one that is accessible for a photo editing app. Due to this, there is a big hassle with accessing any photos to edit, making me transfer them to a different storage app.

I use many different graphic apps, some have capabilities that others don't so I will choose different ones accordingly. I'll often edit images in one app, save it or send it to another one, & again to another for it's particular strengths. Snapseed is one I choose often. There's a good selection of ready made editing tools plus a greater set of more sophisticated tweaking tools. The app does what it does quite well & once you get the hang of it, the process becomes intuitive and easy.
