Ratings and reviews

This app was once solid, an easy four stars. Unfortunately in the past few months it's unable to handle high resolution PNGs. Every image 2k+ I import into Snapseed becomes heavily pixelated, the degradation of quality makes it unusable for high quality images. I have no idea what changed but it's very frustrating. This issue is nonexistent in other image editing apps, I'm able to import my images at full quality without any issues. Until this issue is fixed I cannot recommend Snapseed.

I've used this app for a decade and originally gave it a 5 star rating, but I'm done with it and will be finding a new editing app. The exported image never looks the same as the preview in the app. The auto tools don't work anymore. How am I supposed to edit my photos if the preview isn't even correct, and I can't even use the auto tools to hope I get close? Not wasting any more time with this app.

Love this app and use it all the time! As a professional photographer it makes edits on the fly even with multiple masks simple and efficient. Suggestion would be a denoise option - there are multiple work arounds to this but it would be nice as well as some color slider options on selected items of your choosing so you don't have so many hoops. However, overall it's fantastic!!!
