Sometimes the best remain the best. This app is so perfect for creating (in my case) Instagram content that it is a must. As the world moves forward and technology evolves in ways that are hopefully making better content for everyone and keeping the highest possible standards for you and others. Adobe has created another fantastic app for IOS this time after being truly the only choice for professionals and users who are in need of professional quality without being part of their career journey or being 24 hour artist who accept the challenge of yesterday. I have been using and teaching adobe software since the beginning of photoshop 1 and illustrator 1. I knew Adobe as the only true encapsulated postscript font designer when there was a screen version and a print version for success. So I am greatly grateful and want to share my own experience with anyone reading. If you need to create the plethora of content needed in any job. Get this app. It’s a quick learning experience and it’s ADOBE EXCELLENT.

I don’t know what happened to Adobe Express. One minute it was simple, easy to use, had a wide array of design assets, and the next, I have mysticism in my face and a fraction of the variety that I used to have in design assets. (Specifically in the old categories; they have added other “modern” categories that have a wide array of options) They used to have a wonderful variety of watercolor flowers and greenery that I’ve used for countless other projects, and now they only have a handful of flowers and greenery (in the watercolor style). They’ve added another category of ‘pointillism’ flowers, but they’re not much suited for any professional designs except maybe an art teachers flyer? The new ‘textured watercolor’ flower category is not really ‘flower’ or ‘watercolor’ but more abstract, expressive, modern designs. The few watercolor flowers they did have were dark, muddy tones, and the only watercolor flower arrangement I could find had skulls placed inside. Most of us who use adobe express use it for graphic design and professional projects, *most* of which do not feature skulls, moons, stars, symbols, hand with eyes, etc. It’s adobe’s free choice to add these elements, I just wish they had not done so at the expense of the other content. At this point it’s not usable for my professional purposes.

Adobe Express originally Dobe Spark has been part of my workflow for years now but now since the update it has been rendered essentially unusable when you want to edit text instead of just opening the text window it now zooms in on your project and only select exactly where you typed not allowing you to just start immediately typing. Whenever you click on any asset more than once even on accident it zooms in to fill it in the screen so if you're trying to look at your project you have to constantly zoom out in order to make any type of adjustment. Now in order to duplicate an object you need three separate menus to click through simply to duplicate or group items. before the update fonts were clustered in nice little icons so that you could easily select a font you wanted instead now it is a lengthy list that you need to doom scroll in order to find anything. how the app was previously was essentially perfect and now I think I'm just gonna have to cancel my subscription and find an alternative because even after learning how to use the update there is no way to edit things quickly unless you use a prebuilt template. Extremely disappointing.
