Adobe Express is a Usability Nightmare

I can’t believe this iPhone app shipped like this. It’s riddled with fundamental usability failures:

1. Loses connection = total lockup. Instead of allowing offline editing, the app freezes with a “no connection” screen. That’s lazy and inexcusable. Every iPhone app should handle dropped connections gracefully.

2. Work constantly lost. When the connection returns, my edits are often gone. The app clearly doesn’t save state locally—only syncs to the cloud. That’s insane for mobile use. On public transit, I’m blocked from working and forced to redo lost work.

3. Typing is a disaster. Adobe replaced native iOS text controls with clunky custom ones that break basic typing behavior. Input lags, the doubled paste menu hurdle, and the cursor jumping around unpredictably while typing, inserting text in the wrong location. This is amateur-hour stuff, not what I expect from an Adobe app.

Does anyone at Adobe actually use this thing? It’s shocking this product ever made it out the door.
