Leave a Review Photoshop Express Photo Editor
It's great, it is just not even as powerful as Photoshop was in 2005
The app is great, but it lacks so many tools that were available even on Photoshop versions 5, 6, & CS. From around TWENTY+ years ago! Like I said, it’s okay, but it’s far from GREAT, and I’ve had to buy 5 additional software packages that ALL TOTALED was less that the cost of photoshop, just to do ALL the things that I could easily have done with Photoshop in 2001, even on the stripped down photoshop elements! But if you like clone stamp, or the push/drag tools they’re here, so touching up dust hairs, or minor scratches are great. So is straightening something abnormally curved or vise versa. But you DO get a bunch of stuff your daughter would really love vis á vis filters for her Instagram pics, and TikTok videos. Also you can easily change a persons face to have bigger eyes, high cheek bones, and even completely different make up! It is good at doing what it Does. Unfortunately, if you are over 35, these “tools” may seem a little… “why would I ever need to cover the bridge of everyone’s nose with a line of butterflies?”.Show lessReverand
Love my Adobe Suite
I absolutely love Adobe and the suites that come along with it, there’s so much versatility amongst the different programs; it really is a must have for any aspiring digital artist. After a while, you almost take for granted the amazing ability to work across the platform and multitask using the various programs the creative cloud has to offer. Compared to the days when a truly impressive composition could only be achieved behind a powerful desktop, it can now be achieved with the technology in your hand. Adobe truly is the leader in the space of artist innovation and ability. Make sure to take full use of your creative cloud and all the apps! A lot of times there may be an app you think you don’t need; watch a tutorial you will be amazed at the versatility that app can then afford you. Stay up to date and subscribe for Adobe updates so you can regularly be informed of changes and updates which happen regularly to ensure maximum user quality and I appreciate that!
As I continue to try out new features, I continue being amazed by the amount of integration between different working machines! Theres so many things to discover.

I love you photoshop express ❤️
I’ve been using this app almost daily for about 11 months now, and besides draining my poor old iphones battery, while simultaneously raising its temperature to rival that of the earths core, i will use it every day for a long time. It’s perfect for what I need it for, which is editing photos for a fairly popular blog I run centered around stuffed animals. I own photoshop on desktop and I still prefer photoshop express for my editing and it’s simplicity and intuitive UI. The UI and UX designers of this app deserve a huge shoutout (and fat christmas bonus) for their amazing work on this app! I have the premium version due to having a photoshop license and it’s a huge part of why I love this app and adobe fresco- i really feel like i’m getting a bang for my buck. I hate desktop photoshop with its constant crashes and complex and unintuitive interface, but this app not only handles its rare crashes much better and saves almost all of your work it also simplifies a lot of the more complicated things photoshop is known for. The combine photos feature is a master piece! The only suggestion I have is most likely unrealistic- it’d be nice to add more than 5 image layers when using Combine Photos. I’m sure resources are the issue preventing this though so I’m fine with it being 5.
Thanks developers for your outstanding work!!Show lessjoyebean
Best app for amateurs and professionals while on their phone
I started using Adobe Photoshop in 1992 while in College to become a photojournalist. I remember still the awe I felt going to Mrs. V’s class. What incredible things would I see today? I try to hold on to those feelings in a world now full of altered images. It’s exciting, yet sad, that we seem to have lost ourselves in the realm of the surreal. I believe this app is incredible. There is no competition for handheld devices. Constantly improving while keeping its roots steady. At this point, I use the remove flaws tool as I used the original clone tool with great precision. If you’re at all confused or frightened by all the options photoshop has to offer, my advice to you is the words Mrs. V once told me...Just play. If I could give you any advice for improvement, I’d say look to the filters on instagram. I still prefer their options to any others offered here. And the effects offered by Carbon are brilliant! I’d add a Leica effect for selective focus and unique background pixilation and a hasselblad effect for a medium format look. That’s all. And if I could have my old clone tool with the choice of brushes...I’d be in Heaven. Thank you!Show lessGregknowles22
Decent
PHOTOSHOP EXPRESS is good-ish. The free version can do basic light level edits and some preset filters. The ads for the paid premium version will be constant, and sometimes I'll use a premium feature without noticing, because the little "star" that lets you know is tiny now. The premium vs free features change from time to time and recently a LOT of free features were moved to Premuim/paid only. It costs 35$ a year all at once or 5$ month to month. I don't personally think its worth it, because the functional heal tool(premuim) isn't great and many other features seem arbitrary. Depend on your finances and perspective, tho! Its easy to use and if Photoshop proper has too much stuff and you find you mostly use Camera Raw with your photos than this is like the cel-phone photos version of that; change light levels and exposure etc or add some Instagram-like filter.
Oh, and I don't think you can stack filters without saving each first and then applying another.Show lessNife.H

While PS Express is quite intuitive and user-friendly, there is a curve to get through to become proficient with it. It is my go-to tool for quickly adjusting and enhancing, both my iPhone pix, as well as my blue-tooth generated Sony Ar3 shots. Like the desktop version of Photoshop, Express is deeper than meets the eye. It probably has more features than most people will find the need for using, but thats one of the cool things about it! There’s plenty of tools from basic pic enhancements to a bit flashy, for everyone! I can’t say I ‘m doing too much with selections/masks here, as I mostly am working from my iPhone (I also have it installed on my iPad), and using my forefinger as the stylus! Not much for finnesse, but I get some great results working generally on entire photos this way. For more critical work, I save for my desktop. I give Express 5 stars, but give yourself plenty of time to get comfortable with it. It’s worth the effort!Show lessjly2258
NOT full Photo Shop but is easy and very powerful
I would give it a 4-1/2 *stars* if I could. I often use this app to sharpen and correct lighting, contrast, hue and saturation on my iphone 8+ photos. It does a pretty good job and is certainly good enough for 72ppi, in addition to being relatively adequate for 300ppi, and is easy to use. I also have access to Photoshop, which I still use if I am going to print a hard copy of something as a keepsake so I can control more aspects of the editing. I especially miss having a select tool, layers and copy/paste and feathered selecting/ copying so I can fix bad lighting in different (only in select areas) of my photo that I may not initially have been able to control for (in other words to be able to edit color and lighting only in one selected area of a photo.) In addition (I am wondering if my blond is showing?) I really miss having a paint tool for signing digital art!Show lessMaryruth in Hilo
Less free options with each update
This used to be an awesome little app. However with each upgrade they add more options that you have to then pay for which I can understand. However they change some of the options that used to be free to make you pay for them instead when you’re used to being able to use them for free.
For those of us that might use the app once a month or once every couple months to maybe put some text on a picture to adjust the color on a picture it’s not worth it to pay for a subscription or to pay to use these little features that used to be free. And the worst part is they don’t even list which ones you’re going to have to pay for you go when you do the work you add the text and everything and then when you go to save that’s when they tell you that you’ve used an option that you have to pay for. That’s just a dirty tactic in my view. I’d rather see two versions of this app one the bare-bones version that is free for those of us that only he was at a few times a year and then the paid for version which is got more stuff. But don’t give us some thing for free for a while and then take it away that’s just wrongShow lessCreatinine
