Ratings and reviews

Best app on the market, I use it instead of Photoshop and Lightroom, intuitive interface and a host of great features for a mobile device. I actually end up sending pictures from my PC to the phone just because the editing features are so quick and intuitive. And free.

I use Snapseed all the time. Since the last update, it won't allow to browse image albums. There are only 3 options available, all camera photos or 2 others that don't have the photos I want to edit. It's hard to find the photos to edit. The old browse folders were much more efficient. Snapseed also added a 2nd Snapseed album for my saved photos instead of just adding to the existing album. That's why down grade from 5 to 3 stars.

Great app! However, it can be improved. The healing tool doesn’t erase things very well & you aren't allowed to adjust the size unless you zoom in & out. This is a similar problem when adding double exposure; I wish it had the option to make the eraser tool bigger or smaller. That way it can be more precise when erasing or healing an object. Another feature to add is the undo and redo button while editing at all times. Lastly, to allow you to increase or reduce the "Looks" sensitivity.
