Not an editor
It’s an enhancer more than anything. Forget layers, or copy/paste. Not a replacement for a real editor.

Totally awful.
Totally awful but decide by yourself. When you have an iPhone that only goes to 12mp in resolution you don’t mind it but supposedly, newer iPhones go up to 48+mp and only to be reduced in half or more by the app that you use to edit with. (Snapseed is one of them).
What is the point of adding more features to the app if the users cannot use full resolution on their photos?
What’s the point of making a sensor that can record light up to 50, 60 or 100 megapixels if portrait mode only records 24 or 12? But that’s another story. What a bunch of lying insincere companies.

title says it all. it’s bad, doesn’t do anything but mess up an image like smeering paint like a kid

WTF HAVE YOU DONE!
Barn this is one of the easiest and best photo editing apps out there, especially when used on the iPad. But I just did a system update on my iPad and it must’ve triggered an update for Snapseed. The new format is terrible and when I go to save my photos in a square format, it saves them in a vertical cropped manner. Why would the developers of this app change everything that was good about it before. I knew so many professional photographers who would use this app when working on their phone for personal work. Please go back to the old version. Otherwise I’ll have to move on to Lightroom or another program which I’d rather not do.

RAW Support for Sony ILCE-7M5
RAW format from Sony ILCE-7M5 is not supported. It’s been 4months since the release of this camera.

Needs a Serious Bug Fix
When are you going to fix the incompatibility of Snapseed with newer iPhone cameras? Been a Snapseed user for years. However, something has gone wrong… using an iPhone 15 gives snappy colors and crisp bright highlights… until I apply Snapseed edits which kill the highlights and flatten the colors. What gives? As a comparison, when I use TouchRetouch the color and brightness are not affected. Make this fix a priority.

Warning: Privacy Warning
DO NOT USE THIS APP FOR ANY REASON. You cannot erase photos so Google can retain every piece of data about your life. It’s too bad because it’s a decent app, but not worth it.
★★★★ MoDingx 2/22/2026 v3.15.1
这一版好差
动不动就卡死,基础的测试有做吗?
★★★★ NullForBrains 2/18/2026 v3.14.1
Worthless as photos app editor
More telemetry and spying for duplication of what photos does Pos. Typical

Masking & Selective Tool Not Working Correctly
I am using version 3.14 of Snapseed. The Selective Tool and all masking is not working correctly. For instance, when you mask a region and save it, then go back to confirm, the masked area has shifted. The same happens with the selective tool - after you select a region, it is shifted when you go back to confirm it. Of course, this makes these tools totally unusable.

Crashes as of 4.1.26
Immediately when trying to use text tool. When fixed, this app has always been a 5 star!!!

Quit messing with the app
Recent updates have reduced functionality. Yesterday I could expand images, today I can’t.
I make changes in the app, and when I go to save the edited image, the changes are not saved.

There is no camera. Use to have a camera
