Please remove the childish animation
     
by Randomly selected · July 8, 2026

The “I’m working” animation with the goof ball eyes is distracting and childish. 2 stars off for that, it’s so bad.

The Best
     
by B-Rad3355 · July 9, 2026

The best and simplest! Been using it for years!

greatly made
     
by nm0407 · July 6, 2026

[cons] - the new ui seems off, and complicated in a way. * If you had the ability to change it to past ui’s—that would be amazing. - only on mobile [pros] - Genuinely the best free editing app on mobile. - Features added constantly - No extra “premium” cost. [wishes] - Video section, this would genuinely make it the best app for both worlds of photography and cinematography—well—in mobile.

UI Updates Are Increasingly Frustrating
     
by Chooja1984 · July 9, 2026

Snapseed is incredibly useful and has been my go-to for photo editing for years, but the unnecessary UI updates are beginning to sour my experience. By the time I become used to the new layout and features, a new update moves all the buttons and menus around, and muscle memory has me constantly hitting the wrong options for the next few days.

What’s it for?
     
by Notmuchavailablefornicknames · July 8, 2026

I even googled how to use it and I put two photos in my collection with the only option I have is to remove any photos. There’s not a plus that’s supposed to be tools. There’s not a create anything button. I guess I’ll delete it even after I googled how to use it. It told me about a + that I don’t have so I don’t know the point of it. it’s so far I can put photos on it, but then leave them.

The goat
     
by Milliewanda · July 8, 2026

Honestly, I fell in love with this app. As person who has just gotten into the hobby of photography, I found it hard to edit my photos as most editing programs have a high price point. This app is completely free yet still offers most of the same benefits as other programs. Love it and would recommend!!!

New changes made it worse
     
by pdaneh12 · July 6, 2026

It is much harder to use, I miss the old version

Good, Quick edits.
     
by Peter Lehndorff · July 9, 2026

The new masking tools are very helpful. I wish in the future they can use masks to control blurring. If you wanted to make a background less sharp than the subject for example.
