Snapseed

It has a whole bunch of features, but I'll go over one that I love and one that isn't amazing. The curves tool is absolutely incredible and allows for some truly magical edits, as well as just being super fun to play with. The not so great bit is the text tool. It's finicky and not very customizable beyond a very limited scope. However, there are plenty of other apps that can do that, and it's not a big downside all things considered.

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.

Helpful but while recently using the app I realized that when you crop and save your imported pictures they don't go into their own folder anymore. Maybe it's just mine, but they've had their own file automatically for any photos you crop but suddenly stopped going into it and I even tried deleting a good few thinking it was a space issue. Nope, just confused..

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.

I've been using this app for at least 2yrs and have loved it! But the past couple of months, the app isn't able to consistently export/save my photos. I've uninstalled & reinstalled the app multiple times, made sure I have the most recent version, & checked my permissions. Most of the time now it won't export or save my edited photo. Then randomly, it will saves/export a photo. But the next photo I work on, it won't save/ export. Not sure what's happened. Sadly now, looking for another editor.

Snapseed is one of the most powerful and user-friendly photo editing apps ever, offering professional tools like selective adjustments, healing, and advanced filters in an intuitive interface. It’s perfect for both beginners and experts. However, its lack of updates and new features in recent years is disappointing, leaving it behind competitors that continuously innovate. Despite this, Snapseed remains an essential choice for me as its simple yet powerful photo editing experience

I really like this app, but recently (last day or two) the "expand" feature just expands pictures just as blackness, not what's in the picture. I've tried several pictures, even, as a test case, ones that I've used this feature on in the past, and even those just come out black. Hopefully the devs look into this, as this was the first and only app that I've ever seen to offer such a feature.

I've been using this app for 6+years. It's the best photo editing software for phones, hands down. But recently, I updated the app, and now it no longer has access to all of my photos/folders. It doesn't ask for the permission for full media access either. It makes it so I can't access all my images in app. I can't use the app if I can't find my files on it. I don't know what to do now.

Edit 15/10/2024: recently the photos I see in the app while editing don't look the same as the ones in my gallery after I've saved/exported. I've gone so far as to take a screenshot of the picture in Snapseed while editing, then saving and looking at them side by side, and they're very different. This is a real issue. The app otherwise is still great, but if I can't save an image so that it looks the same as how I edited it to look, what's the point?

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.
