quick edit. was afraid of new UI but turna out I LOVE IT. As long as they leave it alone or at least develop it within the the original ethos, it should remain that way. Offerings from Adobe are clunky and awful, and everything else is either very simplistic and lacks the power that Snapseed has, or is just poor in the UI and unstable. Snapseed is quick, intuitive, stable and powerful. With even RAW editing possible, this app still has no

what just happened. UI is so hard to navigate and it lags. I am on S25 Ultra and I can no longer use it to edit anything

Snapseed is overall an incredible photo editing app with amazing tools, but it has one major limitation. There is no direct option to scan or import a QR code from the phone's gallery. Currently, users can only scan QR codes using the live camera, which makes it impossible to use pre-saved QR looks or formulas shared by others as screenshots.

I recently started using Snapseed again because it's free compared to their biggest mobile competitor. I shoot in RAW so the new implementation was a must for me. Also I really like the option to share and import styles, it saves so much time on editing! Love the new colour grading options, though I miss the split toning options. For a free app, the options are great, but I find the layered editing not very intuitive as it complicates going back to adjust some settings. Keep up the good work!
