1. 2/5New mobile to desktop conversion version horrible

   Oh I’m so disappointed and will likely cancel my premium subscription soon. I use Adobe Express quite frequently to make flyers. I found it incredibly user-friendly and even decided to pay for the annual premium subscription because I loved this program so much. I could create flyers on my phone, then quickly open them on my desktop version to save as specific file types and email them with zero issues. The mobile and desktop versions worked seamlessly together and I could go back and forth between them to edit. Now, Adobe has ruined it. I can no longer open my projects on my desktop without the entire project being altered in a horrible way. I can no longer find specific features on the desktop version that I commonly use on the mobile version (e.g. order, curved text). They are GONE! Design assets, shapes, graphics, etc that I pay for through my premium subscription completely disappear in the desktop version. The project no longer stays still on the center of the screen when selecting features in desktop. I can no longer access any changes I make in the desktop version on my mobile version. It is to the point where I completely dread even trying to open my beautiful mobile project on my computer. Now, I’m having to create projects and save file types strictly on my phone, but there are so many go-arounds required with this option. I don’t know why Abode changed this previously wonderful and user-friendly amateur design program, but I may consider exploring a non-Adobe design program. I’m so sad.

2. 5/5Tricked into using the NEW UPDATE

   I am sooo hurt about this Adobe! Like dang, i was using Adobe express on my iPhone as a very convenient way to import files into Illustrator for different projects on my iPad. I get on my phone this morning (April 25, 2024) to add some images to my current project and Adobe express is telling me there is a new version to try. That’s cool. I’m not tripping because it’s asking me to “Try it out, you’ll be able to return to the previous version.” Ok cool! So I’m looking around and it does seem super convenient and I almost went ahead and updated it, until I realized it said “ after you update you will not be able to go back to the previous version.” So I looked around the app a little more just to make sure that the feature that I was actually using it for was still available. AND OF COURSE the “Files” option was indeed there BUT YOU HAVE TO PAY EXTRA FOR THE PREMIUM VERSION to have access to it. So I went to the top of the screen where it gave me the option to either import my files from the old version and start using the new version OR go back to the previous version and “miss out on useing the new version “ I wanted to go back. It said “ to go back to the previous version restart the app” I did that. But now I’m stuck on this new version when that’s not what I selected to do, AND I don’t have access to the files that I had! Are you all trying to force people to pay for a premium subscription, for things that they already had access to without giving notice? Because if that’s not the intention and this is an error PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE fix this.

3. 1/5Went from my favorite app to 1 star

   This new update is absolutely ATROCIOUS. This was my favorite graphic design app, it was simplistic all while offering unlimited capabilities when using your creativity. I have been reverting my phone and iPad every time I opened the app to the previous version the ENTIRE last year. Now we’re forced to use the newer version which is NOT USER FRIENDLY whatsoever. It’s clogged and chaotic, it forces you to use landscape mode on the iPad which I cannot stand. I’d make stunning prints with my photography in minutes, now it glitches RELENTLESSLY zooming all over away from the actual design space just trying to simply move a font... I gave up entirely after 30 minutes of wanting to pull my hair out. As someone who has used Adobe over 10 years and has loved this app specifically for years and years I am heartbroken. The glitches are endless, the forced update I will never forgive adobe for. It is no longer user friendly. Not to mention all my prints I already made I don’t have access to unless I click them and they are updated for the new app (which says the colors may differ and is even changing the fonts - so we’re more limited on top of it and whatever you created is either altered for half or unaccessible unless to simple save). I absolutely hate this update they utterly ruined the app. For the love of god offer the option to keep the old version loyal users used regularly. This is horrible.

4. 5/5Adobe Express for the Multidisciplinary Workflow

   As an architect and musician, my days are a constant shuffle between technical precision and creative expression. Whether I’m documenting a residential permit set or mixing a new track, I’m obsessed with disciplined workflows. Any tool that removes friction from the "messy middle" of the creative process is a win in my book. I’ve been thoroughly impressed with Adobe Express. While it has a few quirks, it primarily holds up as a reliable bridge between raw ideas and polished output. My favorite feature is the context-menu integration: being able to right-click an image and jump straight into editing without the "administrative tax" of hunting for the app or the file is a massive time-saver. In architecture, we say clarity is superior to cleverness, and this app embodies that. It allows me to maintain a high level of visual hierarchy—much like I would when stripping the noise out of a cramped floor plan—without getting bogged down in overly produced, "slick" agency-style editing. It fits perfectly into my "unpolished but authentic" aesthetic, allowing me to share the reality of making things work in real-time. #ClaytonCowell #ArchitectLife #DesignProcess #CreativeWorkflow #KCMO What is the biggest hurdle you have faced with your own creative process?

5. 4/5Beautiful typography; kludgy to use

   Posted my first attempt with Spark to Facebook, tried an animation with a fairly subtle zoom-out effect that looked very nice, but on Facebook the video kept looping repeatedly—it was about 3 seconds long. I found that there were limited options with text, with font point size missing altogether. (Most would agree that’s a pretty basic function, one would think.) You could change the relative size of text by enlarging or reducing the size of a text box or adjusting line spacing, but these were pretty awkward and unpredictable ways of doing so.) I wanted to italicize the title of the book from which I was quoting, but couldn’t find a simple way of doing that either—even though the font I used had a designed italic, I found I could not mix the two in the same sentence, after repeated tries of selecting and trying to format individual words. That said, the font selection was very good and quite tasteful, making any post created in Spark deliciously gorgeous and a cut above any typical meme-maker. As I mentioned in my post, I found the placement of the Adobe Spark logo at the bottom intrusive and lacking in subtlety or nuance. This needs to be addressed—I am not using the software primarily to create ads for Adobe. Still, because it can produce such beautiful results, I’m giving Spark four stars out of five.
