### 3/5 — What … No Slide Show?

*2026-01-22, version 4.5.4*

It’s a good app however it lack the ability to select and show images in a slide show.

### 3/5 — RAW files

*2021-10-24, version 4.5.0*

The app refuses to save an edited image in RAW format, meaning that after the “save” is pushed the loading wheel keeps rolling. Please fix this issue.

### 5/5 — Simply the Best !

*2020-10-18*

I’ve been using this app for quite sometime now , and although I’ve regularly tried others that have come onto the market (some of which at the professional end of the market are extremely dear!) I’ve not found one single app that gives me the all round performance that I get here .... Excellent , fantastic and  consistently well edited photos .... what more can I say ! Love it !

### 5/5 — Very good Tool

*2020-06-23*

One of the best picture Editors.

### 4/5 — Gr

*2020-05-06, version 4.3.1*

Lapp è molto bella però è uguale a 5 anni fa molto bella  la stabilizzazione video ma almeno aggiungete il 4K o il 1080p a 60 fps è meglio ancora una bella modalità notte 👍

### 5/5 — It’s great

*2019-09-08, version 4.2.2*

I make collages of my grandson to sent 3 or 4 or 5 pictures as 1. Terrific.

### 5/5 — По старой дружбе

*2019-08-21*

Само приложение среднее, но пользоваться можно.

### 2/5 — Disappointing

*2019-07-30, version 4.2.1*

I have used ACDSee on my desktop for years. This version does not let you clone areas nor remove blemishes. You cannot edit parts of an image.  Not worth the money and inferior com to some  free apps.

### 3/5 — Пользовался ACDSee еще на ПК

*2019-03-26*

Хорошее приложение для тех кто любит заморочиться. Не нашел коррекцию перспективы(

### 5/5 — Thanks

*2018-12-06, version 4.2.0*

Very good app

### 4/5 — Great app from Great software

*2018-09-22, version 4.1.8*

I got this app because for years I used their software. Maybe even before digital cameras were readily available. It started, at least for me, as the best software for organizing and viewing photos on my PC. And, oddly enough, it was touted in a review as the best photo viewing software for looking at porn. Yeah, I know, you never look at porn. But in the very early years of the internet there were Newsgroups. You connected using a modem and waited as you slowly downloaded any pictures that interested you (not necessarily erotica). To review and sort photos ACDSee was the best. For years! Ultimately that task became a subset of more robust photo editors, like Adobe Elements and others.

ACDSee tried to keep up, but not that well. It did one thing well, and better than others. And it was cheap. Enter the iPhone and iPad. And apps. This is where ACDSee may no longer be needed, or the best at the original task, but excels as a photo editor. For reducing noise, enhancing skin tone, light balance and other functions, it is my goto app. Along with Photoshop Fix, it goes into the professional realm of photo editing. 

I think the denoise function may have been a small add on cost, but all well worth it. Updates are always free and usable on multiple devices. Highly recommended.

### 1/5 — Does not do what I wanted

*2023-09-28, version 4.5.4*

I wanted a program that would access pictures on a usb drive and start a slideshow. Does neither.

### 1/5 — Pas de redimensionnement possible.

*2021-06-14*

Pas possible de redimensionner une photo avec. C’est une honte. J’utilise la version Windows depuis des années mais sur iPad ça vaut rien du tout.

### 1/5 — Nach Update unbrauchbar

### 5/5 — A sad day.

*2026-06-07*

My go to app for editing on my iPad but since the update to o/s17 the text editor sadly no longer works. The Apple update mentioned the keyboard so I’m guessing thats where the problem lies. As this app hasn’t been updated for a year I’m not hopeful there will be a fix. Update, still no update, don’t waste your money because it’s now obvious the text editor will never work.
Apologies to ACDSee, I’ve just checked again and so am pleased that the text editor is working again, BRILLIANT. Now back to five stars.
Wrote the above two years ago and this app is brilliant now and I’m pleased to see it had an update 2 days ago. It still lacks an eraser tool though which would make this app 100% perfect.
I also use ACDSee on my desktop computer.

### 5/5 — ACDSee la mejor App edición de fotos🌟

*2023-11-09, version 4.5.4*

Es de lejos la mejor app para corrección de color, filtros por selección de zonas, poder de zoom para editar con una interfaz muy intuitiva. Saludos a los desarrolladores.
