Punktabzüge gibt’s, weil es Zeit für Updates gibt. Mir fehlt eine Collagenfunktion und ein vernünftiges Reparaturtool; denn das ist grottenschlecht, weil man den Bereich, den man kopieren will, nicht selbst wählen kann. Und für die Genauigkeit wünschte ich mir, nicht die Finger, sondern einen Stift oder Pinsel zu nutzen. Schriftarten wählen wäre auch gut. Kommt nicht bald eine Innovation in dieser App, werde ich das Abo wohl kündigen - so schade es auch ist. ### 3/5 — Perfect IF it would support HDR editing *2026-08-22, version 4.1.0* Love the new update. However, after editing HDR pictures and saving them, they look dull. Unfortunately because it lacks HDR editing support. Is this coming? ### 2/5 — Not progressive *2026-08-21, version 4.0.6* Some features are still very 2010ish. Especially the expand tool, it’s very bad in understanding the photo and expanding accordingly. I would recommend RND team to discuss incorporating some AI to keep the app progressive to today’s photo editing standards. ### 2/5 — 不要再乱更了！ *2026-08-21* 现在的版本一点也不顺手，完全没有以前操作那么人性化了！气晕过去 ### 2/5 — Bloated and cutesy update from what was an excellent app *2026-08-20, version 4.0.6* Loved the original version, was simple and uncluttered and worked perfectly. More recently the app has had a refresh to an overly engineered and annoyingly immature “cutesy” style of UI. Really disappointed. It’s been ruined. 😬 ### 3/5 — New features now missing *2026-08-19, version 4.0.6* I saw that Snapseed added a new Chromatic Aberration feature was added but it was seemingly gone a week later. Why was it removed without question? This is really disappointing ### 5/5 — Ja *2026-08-19* Moin. Man hat noch mal viel Arbeit reingesteckt. Volle Punktzahl. Edit 19. August 2026: Wer zum Teufel ist auf die absurde Idee gekommen, automatisch das letzte Bild zu laden, welches man nun erst umständlich löschen muss! Wo kann ich das bitte abstellen? Edit 2. Funktion wurde wieder entfernt. Danke, ### 5/5 — Moi *2026-08-19* Les retouches sont bien faite et il y’a beaucoup de fonctionnalités importantes ### 5/5 — The zoom *2026-08-19* Love how I can get every little detail ### 5/5 — Fun editing tool *2026-08-19, version 4.0.6* Love trying the variety of editing options from subtle to dramatic! I use this tool regularly. ### 5/5 — ♥️ *2026-08-19, version 4.0.6* amazing!! love editing casual to professional pictures on here!! ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-08-18* Love using it all the time for my photos of nature and cityscapes, it feels naturally and enhanced, polished. ### 5/5 — Very good *2026-08-18, version 4.0.6* This app is fun it keeps me from being bored at times only question is how do I make the icon dark on home screen ### 5/5 — Great photo editor *2026-08-16, version 4.0.6* I’ve used Snapseed for years and I’ve enjoyed what I can do with my ordinary photos. Lots of options, lots of features, great value. ### 5/5 — Géniale *2026-08-16* Application complète et entièrement gratuite. Reste juste la possibilité d’ajouter une image en watermark et pourvoir modifier sa taille et son opacité. Il y a bien l’outil texte mais ce n’est pas la même chose si on veut mettre un logo par exemple. Idem pour l’outil Double exposition qui ne permet pas d’ajouter un logo et régler sa taille et transparence comme on le souhaite ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-08-16, version 4.0.6* This app was introduced by a friend years ago, it does exactly what it says, easy to use, complete with every tools needed to make a great photograph. It has improved over the years and is user friendly. Love it Love it.❤️ ### 5/5 — 一如既往地推荐 *2026-08-16* 很好用的软件，工具也更完善，就是新的界面有更新，还不太习惯，推荐推荐 ### 5/5 — Background remove tool is very important *2026-08-16, version 4.0.6* Why its not giving Background removal feature..?? ### 5/5 — Amei o aplicativo *2026-08-16* 5 estrelas ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Raw files are broken after 4.0.6 *2026-08-20, version 4.0.6* Since updating to version 4.0.6, RAW files are being processed completely differently when opened in Snapseed. The image looks normal in the gallery preview, but as soon as I open the RAW file, Snapseed makes it extremely bright, oversaturated and much warmer. This happens immediately before I make any edits. Exposure is still at 0.00 EV and white balance is set to “As Shot”, so this is clearly happening during RAW processing. I have used Snapseed with RAW files for a long time and this was not happening before the recent update. This has seriously disrupted my photography workflow because the colours and skin tones are no longer accurate. Please investigate the new RAW processing in version 4.0.6 or provide an option to use the previous RAW engine. ### 1/5 — Ужасное обновление!!!!! *2026-08-13* Ужасное обновление!!!!! Зачем вы все изменили!!! Ничего не понятно, не удобно!!!! Верните прежнюю версию!!!!! ### 1/5 — Awful update *2026-08-01, version 4.0.5* This was previously one of my most favorite photo editing apps. It is unmatched. But the latest updates are absolutely awful!! I can’t find anything anymore. I just opened the app today to try to edit a photo I just took and I am unable to pull up my photo album in any way to find it. It just shows me a kind of best of compilation of my photos, but no way to pull out the latest one I just took. It’s just awful. Please restore functionality. The app has become completely useless. If I can’t access my photos. ### 1/5 — УЖАС *2026-07-30* Я удалила приложение , тк закончилась память, а сегодня я его скачала и подумала, что это какое то другое приложение,к сожалению нет. Ребят верните пожалуйста все как было. Я так любила это приложение. Это было самое лучшее и удобное для меня приложение. Настолько все было понятно. Очень расстроена. ### 1/5 — If you have a iPad Pro I wouldNOT waste your time *2026-07-27, version 4.0.5* I use editing apps for photos I take all the time. I spent 20 minutes of my life just trying to be able to edit a picture. I could add the photos to the app but no matter what I did I couldn’t start editing so I figured I’d waste a little bit more time right in this review, I do not recommend snap seed photo editor if you want to edit pictures quickly. ### 1/5 — 删掉了很多功能 *2026-07-20* 之前的色散、美体都去掉了。现在的滑动调节也非常不灵敏，很多功能隐藏的很深！ ### 1/5 — 哪个产品经理想出来的改版？ *2026-07-10* 一直用这个软件，觉得这个软件自由度高，功能多，但是最近更新以后发现，这个软件做了重大改版。改版以下非常让人不满意： 风格改成可爱风格，为了迎合女性用户；界面只能竖屏不能横屏操作；界面操作卡顿严重，拉平衡界面尤为严重！！这个软件我一直用了很久，这次更新真的伤了我的心了，建议开除你们新的产品经理，真的一塌糊涂！！！ ### 1/5 — What’s it for? *2026-07-08, version 4.0.4* 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. ### 1/5 — Todo mal *2026-07-07, version 4.0.4* No me gusta nada la app ahora, llevo años usándola y de repente está malísima y el interfaz horrible, la tuve que desinstalar, era mi aplicación de edición favorita ### 1/5 — Won’t let me edit *2026-07-03, version 4.0.4* I love this app ! The heal tool is everything !! But it boots me out of the app once I’ve picked a photo - I delete and retry and still the same thing ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — My review *2026-08-26* I love snapseed ### 5/5 — 很好 下载了这么多中最满意的一个 *2026-08-24* 都是免费的 没有广告 体验感非常棒 希望能继续保持 这样会一直用的👍 ### 5/5 — best! *2026-08-23, version 4.1.0* Heavily use photo editor for over decades. Most top apps has some feature the other doesn’t have. But overall this is the most feature rich app. ### 5/5 — Besser als Photoshop *2026-08-23* Meiner Meinung nach die beste App zum bearbeiten von Fotos, nutze ich seit vielen Jahren. Einzig das Retuschieren oder Gegenstände aus Bildern entfernen klappt nicht so gut, sonst aber einfacher, intuitiver und unkomplizierter als viele andere Fotobearbearbeitungs Apps ### 5/5 — Great Fun *2026-08-22, version 4.0.6* This App offers plenty of fun options to give your pix a unique flavour. Could use a few more Text options. ### 5/5 — 修图时，左下角“快速移动预览框”功能被砍了，希望能加回来 *2026-08-21* 如题 ### 5/5 — Brings out all the colors! *2026-08-21, version 4.0.6* I love Snapseed for bringing out all the best colors and beauty of my nature photos. ### 5/5 — 좋네 *2026-08-20* 공짜맞나싶을정도로 좋아 ### 5/5 — A must have app *2026-08-20, version 4.0.6* I don’t usually review apps but truly I’ve had Snapseed for years and it has never disappointed me. The healing feature is so helpful for small changes to a picture. ### 5/5 — 很棒的修图工具 *2026-08-20* 方便、实用，使我的照片能锦上添花 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
