Top issues, ranked by reviews × severity
- Soften the redesign backlash: 49 complaining reviews, avg severity 2.1/3. What to do: Explain the change in-app, restore the most-missed option, or offer a setting for the old behaviour.
“Snapseed used to feel airy, visually elegant & intuitive to use. Whilst I appreciate the new features- especially the colour editing tool as that was one I would jump across apps for. It feels incredibly disorienting to have what was once a long term companion…” (2★, v3.16.2, GB) - Simplify navigation: 25 complaining reviews, avg severity 2.1/3. What to do: Run a quick usability test on the screens users mention; remove extra taps and pop-ups.
“No way to clear out photos after editing and saving. It is free but unusable.” (2★, v4.1.2, US) - Ship the most requested feature: 20 complaining reviews, avg severity 1.8/3. What to do: Read the quotes below for the exact request; consider a public roadmap.
“I do like the new interface. Please bring back landscape mode for editing/viewing as I like to mirror my iPhone to the TV to work on my images in a large format. This would make it excellent 👌🏻” (3★, v3.1.0, GB) - Fix features broken by the latest update: 17 complaining reviews, avg severity 2.0/3. What to do: Add regression tests for the features users name in these reviews before the next release.
“This app was a stellar free photo editor. The updates they did that make all the adjustments the opposite way is annoying and whenever I try and use the portrait feature it just cashes the app, among other glitches” (1★, v3.6.0, CA) - Fix in-use crashes and freezes: 9 complaining reviews, avg severity 2.2/3. What to do: Match quoted actions to crash reports; ship a hotfix for the top stack trace.
“Since the new update when I add a RAW files the app crashes and my phone freezes and then it restarts app. To make it work I have to reduce the size of the photo although I never needed to do that before.” (3★, v4.1.5, GB) - Stop data / progress loss: 7 complaining reviews, avg severity 2.2/3. What to do: Reproduce sync and restore paths; add server-side backup and a visible "restore" option.
“An update happened and now I have lost all my previous edits . I usually use an image to create cards and posters. Now when I open the image to add different words all my edits are gone and I'm back to original photo. I cannot replace what I had formally creat…” (1★, v4.1.6, US)

How to read this
Apple's public feed only shows recent reviews, so this is a snapshot of the last weeks or months, not the app's full history. Popular apps attract complaints in proportion to their size; the useful part is which issues repeat. Generated 21 October 2026. We have no relationship with Google.
