I love your product... however this update— UI, we don't like it... leave the boring UI experience as it was, boring is premium and that was one reason we love Snap seed. This yellow effects while editing is not so nice 🤧

Masking isn't working at all. Add photo upscaler/enhancer and manual background removal to be perfect

Used to love this app but the recent updates have in my opinion ruined it!.. Too many presets!.. I have used it for approx 10yrs and am now looking for something else, why ruin a good thing, if it ain't broke don't fix it. 🤦🏽♀️

The main part of an editor is missing of resizing. Like - I needed it to resize a photo for a form filling, nd it didn't have tht specific setings for tht. I mean to change pixels as I want (e.g. a sign 110h*140w in less than 40kb) with required dpi .but it didn't help in tht.

New update makes this app awful. Snapseed was always my go-to app, however after the recent update its awful. Doesn't perform how it used too, lags constantly, edits now take forever and the eyes' thing is ridiculous!
